rspec users - Feb 2008 - Webrat integration with Rspec and Rake tasks

Hi,

I am trying to get Webrat integrated with RSpec. I''ve followed the
steps in the various blog posts about this, but have one sniggling
little issue. It might be a Webrat issue, but I am hoping the RSpec
folks might have already solved it.

I have the stories run from a Rake task  (am hoping for one of these
in the main rspec rake task soon,) ut to run webrat stuff in the
steps, you need to:

rake spec:stories RAILS_ENV=test.

The reason is due to the boot order of rake and plugins (of which
webrat and rspec are ones), webrat/init.rb doesn''t attach itself to
ActionController::Integration::Session unless it is on the test
environment. Only setting the RAILS_ENV ahead of the boot sequence
fixes this. But I am wondering if there is another alternative.

Also, has anyone gotten it to run with autotest?

Thanks in advance.

Ed

I set RAILS_ENV in my stories/helper.rb file. That might be a good  
solution.

Using Webrat for 100% of my stories (and running autotest) and loving  
it. I also have the env set in stories/helper.rb, but I''m not sure  
whether it was there from the beginning (I just copied it from some of  
the early posts about stories).

This is set in the generated stories/helper.rb (when you run
''script/generate rspec'').

It is set in stories/helper.rb, but not working. ./script/generate
rspec creates a file with:
ENV[''RAILS_ENV'']="test"

which is deprecated  It should be:
RAILS_ENV="test"

Changed that and it all worked fine.

How are you using both autotest and the stories?

I use Geoffrey''s rstakeout
(http://nubyonrails.com/articles/automation-with-rstakeout
) to watch a single story (running all stories a la autotest is too  
slow) and /app, and autotest in a different terminal for normal specs.

which then promptly broke migrations and other Rakeish things.

I don''t have a solution that works for both yet, so I an commenting
and un commenting this as needed.
