Hi there, Is it just me or do many other rspec / rpsec_on_rails users spend more time than they would like feeding the framework ? Don''t get me wrong, I love rpsec, but I seem to spend about 2/3 hours per week hunting down rspec problems. For example, today `rake spec:models` is broken. When I migrate, load fixtures and run `spec -cfs` all is well. When I run `rake spec:models`,

Hi there, I have a *really* weird issue with rspec on rails: Given a time meridian formatted using %p When I run `rake spec` the time meridian is converted to lower case: expected: "Today 08:00 PM", got: "Today 08:00 pm" Yet when I run `rake spec:models` and `spec -cfs app/models` the specs pass, ie the the time meridian is in upper case. Anyone got any ideas how I

Hi there, I installed the rspec on rails plugin for a new project today and guess what -- it blows up! All by other rspec on rails projects are working fine. I updated all gems & still no joy. Any ideas how I can troubleshoot this one ? Here''s my setup: - ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [powerpc-darwin8.7.0] - Rails 1.2.5 Installed with svn: ruby script/plugin install

For those interested .... rake spec:models seems to clone the test database from development. If your dev db is empty, the models task fails mysteriously. Anyway, to make sure your dev db is at the current migration version, I added this dependency in lib/tasks task ''spec:models'' => ''db:migrate'' Now the dev db is migrated up with each test pass.

Hi there, Why are the instantiated fixtures turned off by default in the rspec on rails plugin? This was not the case in older versions. After upgrading (and much head scratching) I had to turn on the instantiated_fixtures in spec_helper thusly ... self.use_instantiated_fixtures = true Regards, Keith

Hi there, On page http://rspec.rubyforge.org/documentation/rails/writing/views.html the view spec example is incorrect. Instead of: require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../../spec_helper'' It should read: require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../spec_helper'' Regards, Keith

Hi there, I''m having trouble with `rake spec:models`. It''s failing on: - 1 old rspec/rails project - all new rspec/rails projects But, it *is* working fine on my other (older) rspec/rails projects. All projects are on rspec & rails 1.0.8, Rails 1.2.3, os X ppc Here''s a fresh rspec/rails project with failing rake task $ rails test_app -d postgresql $ cd

Hi all, Please ignore my last mail (see below). I forgot to run ./script/generate rspec after upgrading. I thought that generate was for new spec installation not an upgrade. D''oh! Keith ---------------------- Hi there, I can''t upgrade rspec on rails to 0.7.5.1. I followed the install guide on the website without sucsess. Here''s my env info: $ rails -v Rails

Hi there, I can''t seem to access the fixture name as a class variable from my specs. I have to set the variable in the spec setup. ... [fixtures] my_fixture: id: 1 ... [rpsec] @my_fixture.id.should == 1 ... [error] You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! The error occurred while evaluating nil.id ... [my setup] RSpec-0.7.5.1 (r1395) - BDD for Ruby Rails

Hi all, How can I use spec fixtures with rails integration tests ? I''ve tried adding {{ fixtures "../../spec/fixtures/myfixture" }} to the integration test but the fixtures are not loaded when I run the rake task. Rails doesn''t load symlinked fixtures either so I copied the files from spec/fixtures for the time being. Not very DRY. Any ideas ? Keith
