Hi All, I''m trying to make use of template.expects_render, is outlined in David''s post(http://blog.davidchelimsky.net/articles/2007/06/28/ template-expects_render). I get an undefined method error on expects_render. I made sure I had the 1.0.8 gem as well as reinstalling the plugin and redoing the bootstrap. Still no luck. So I created a clean project, installed the CURRENT plugin, ran script/ generate...

Hi, rather than flooding this list with separate emails, I''ve been queueing up questions using rspec with rails. (an irc channel would be nice too :) Here ya go... - Is there a way to test named routes? - Could I get an example how to test an ajax request (link_to_remote)? would that go in view? and/or in controller spec? - Can you assert which layout template is rendered in a

Hi We have a Rails project using an engine which I want to run autotest with rspec against. So the project specific specs are in the specs directory but the common specs are in the specs directory of the engine plugin (e.g. vendor/plugin/engine/specs) Just wondering where I would be looking to change configuration so that autotest will also look for the specs in the engine directory?

RSpeckers: I''m trying to install this into a Merb-generated RSpec rig: http://code.jeremyevans.net/doc/fixture_dependencies/ It requires inserting their test case into RSpec. This is the documented way to do it: describe ''Post'' do inherit FixtureDependencies::SequelTestCase And that leads to the syntax error in the subject line. (No stack trace is available

Hi, It appears that if I have 2 should_receives in a row, the latest one overrides the previous one(s). If there isn''t one, could we add a way to accumulate them, such as @thing.should_receive(:method).and_return(@value) @thing.should_receive(:method).again.and_return(@value) @thing.should_receive(:method).again.and_return(@value) would be equivalent to

hi list - should it be possible to use autotest to continuously run specs for a non-rails project? when i execute autotest in the base directory of my project, it complains that it cannot load rspec_autotest, however looking at rspec_autotest[1] and rspec_rails_autotest.rb, it appears as though both are geared towards rails (perhaps even rspec on rails). cheers, jean-pierre [1]

Good morning rspec people! Still rspec nuby: I must do something wrong obviously. How can I spec about redirect_to at ApplicationController describe ApplicationController do it "method login_required should redirect to home path without login" do pending "I tried to use controller.login_required.should be_redirected and got NoMethodError with nil object

...fixtures. I feel I will fall back to fixtures, so no more designing fun with mocks but things feels more lightweight and practical :-) Or perhaps it''s more up to project size and conditions...

Oki, Priit at typical.nuby.reaction.to.mock.things [1] http://blog.davidchelimsky.net/articles/2006/11/06/view-spec-tutorial "Now the risk here is that you could build a model that doesn''t have a title field in it and your app will blow up! Admittedly, if you only write isolated, granular specs like this that risk is real. So you should be doing this in conjunction...

I''m heading out of town, but had a quick thought I wanted to share. Rather then using ambiguous named request helpers in controller specs like "do_request", I''ve been using more readable helpers like "post_create". For example... describe ProjectController do def post_create post :create, ... end before do end it "creates a new

...a pain when you have to add or remove fields. Additionally, the declarative version removes all of the noise so that the most important features of that story stand out. The imperative version looks like the "detailed scenarios" that David talked about at his ETEC slides (http://blog.davidchelimsky.net/articles/2008/04/01/etec-slides.) On slide #75 David gives a good overview of the pros and cons of this style. The pros mentioned are that they are easier to write and easier to change.
