rspec users - Feb 2010 - adding to the callbacks that rspec-rails adds

I have some code that adds to the callbacks that rspec-rails adds by default
to <a
href="http://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec-rails/blob/master/lib/spec/rails/in
terop/testcase.rb">setup and teardown fixtures</a>.

 

My code looks something like:

 

    module Test

      module Unit

 

        class TestCase

          append_before(:each) do

           Test::Unit::AfterFixturesLoaded.custom_stuff1

          end

 

          append_after(:each) do

            Test::Unit::AfterFixturesLoaded.custom_stuff2

          end

        end

 

        class AfterFixturesLoaded

 

          def self.custom_stuff1

            #do some stuff here

          end

 

          def self.custom_stuff2

            #do some other stuff here

          end

        end

 

      end

    end

 

This code works fine if I put it in the config\initializers directory in the
rails app, but then running the app fails because it doesn''t load test
unit.
So my question is where can I put this code so that it will always be
included when running rspec?

 

Thanks!

Ben Fyvie

The convention is to put support files in spec/support/, and require
.rb files in that directory from spec/spec_helper.rb. The
spec/spec_helper.rb file generated by rspec-rails when you execute
"script/generate rspec" ("script/rails g rspec:install" in
rails 3)
includes a line that handles the require for you.

HTH,

Look in spec/spec_helper.rb for the configuration block, and hook up your custom
stuff there:

Spec::Runner.configured do |config|
  config.before(:each) { AfterFixturesLoaded.custom_stuff1 }
  config.after(:each) { AfterFixturesLoaded.custom_stuff1 }
end
