[rspec-users] One error reported recursively if two pages visited by request spec
Hi,
I''m using Rails 3.1.3, rspec-rails 2.9.0, and Ruby 1.9.3p0.
I''ve been getting recursive errors, where one error is reported
multiple times. It''s quite spectacular in a long suite, with the
errors overflowing the console buffer. I''ve whittled down a simple
example:
require ''spec_helper''
describe "public pages" do
subject { page }
describe "details page" do
before do
visit root_path
end
describe "when visiting a second page before example" do
before { visit sign_in_path }
it { should have_link("Sign in") }
end
end
end
The error here is that "sign_in_path" should really be
"signin_path".
But I get that error five times, and when I run with --format
documentation, it looks like RSpec is generating it recursively before
it "blows up" with a stack trace (see output below).
Obviously this test doesn''t really need two before blocks, but
sometimes I do want to visit two pages before a test.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

There is nothing "recursive" about this. There is a failure in a before block that runs before every example. It''s the same as if you had the same broken code directly in each example.

I was attempting to monitor and reply to the group through Google Groups, but apparently that mirror stopped working on April 10, so I''m having to reconstruct this reply.] Thanks for the reply. Although the output says "5 examples, 5 failures," there is only one example, hence my confusion about it failing five times. Also, the "documentation" output lists each describe block (except the first) two to four times. When I fix the error, I get one line per describe, plus one example completed, as expected: [myproject (tests)]$ rspec spec/requests/test2* --format documentation public pages details page when visiting a second page before example should has link "Sign in" Finished in 1.44 seconds 1 example, 0 failures I have since discovered that the problem only occurs when using "--format documentation". Without that, with the error back in place, RSpec only gives me one error, not five: [myproject (tests)]$ rspec spec/requests/test2* F Failures: 1) public pages details page when visiting a second page before example Failure/Error: before { visit sign_in_path } NameError: undefined local variable or method `sign_in_path'' for #<RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested_1::Nested_1::Nested_1:0xa1f2ef8> # ./spec/requests/test2_pages_spec.rb:9:in `block (4 levels) in <top (required)>'' Finished in 1.07 seconds 1 example, 1 failure Failed examples: rspec ./spec/requests/test2_pages_spec.rb:10 # public pages details page when visiting a second page before example Does that clarify the issue?

I see the issue with any failing > test if I "--format documentation".Let me amend that: I see it on any test with "--format documentation" IF the test fails due to a syntax error. So if "should have_link(''foo'')" fails because the link is not there, I only get one error. But if I fumble-finger and type "should havelink(''foo'')", I get the syntax error many times. Mark Berry
