I''m trying to write specs for a helper method that I''m
creating, but
my specs are failing to find the helper method
# app/helpers/properties_helper.rb
module PropertiesHelper
def format_utilities(utilities)
end
end
# spec/helpers/properties_helper_spec.rb
require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) +
''/../spec_helper'')
describe PropertiesHelper do
describe ''#format_utilities'' do
it ''should format a utilities value'' do
format_utilities(nil).should == ''Unknown''
end
end
end
The error that''s occuring is:
NoMethodError in ''PropertiesHelper#format_utilities should format a
utilities value''
undefined method `format_utilities'' for
#<
Spec
::Rails::Example::HelperExampleGroup::Subclass_1::Subclass_1:0x22a121c>
/Users/nick/src/housing-rentals/vendor/plugins/factories-and-workers/
lib/factories-and-workers/factory_builder.rb:36:in `method_missing''
./spec/helpers/properties_helper_spec.rb:7:
script/spec:4:
As far as I can tell, my specs match what was recommended back in
March 2008 in this thread:
http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/145723
Any suggestions?

Have a look at the change to no longer implicitly include modules: http://blog.davidchelimsky.net/articles/2008/05/29/rspec-waving-bye-bye-to-implicit-module-inclusion Regards, Craig -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Use the "helper" object (helper.format_uttilities) Scott

This is backed up by the docs: http://rspec.info/documentation/rails/writing/helpers.html HTH, Matt
I''m not sure what version it was, but Rails helper modules are no
longer
included implicitly in helper specs. [1]
You should rewrite your spec as:
describe PropertiesHelper do
describe ''#format_utilities'' do
it ''should format a utilities value'' do
helper.format_utilities(nil).should == ''Unknown''
end
end
end
or
describe PropertiesHelper do
include PropertiesHelper
describe ''#format_utilities'' do
it ''should format a utilities value'' do
format_utilities(nil).should == ''Unknown''
end
end
end

Read this http://rspec.info/documentation/rails/writing/helpers.html and if you''re still unsure feel free to write back.
