Hi, I''m pretty new to Rspec, so hope someone can help me out with this. I''m leveraging a couple pre-existing applications in my current project, both have fairly robust test suites in Rspec already. However, one is using Rspec''s builit in mocking, and the other is using mocha. If I set config.mock_with mocha in spec_helper.rb, then all of the rspec mocks fail. If I

Hello, I''m playing around with Rspec again after going from test/unit to rspec then back to test/unit... :) Right off the bat, I find myself wanting to do something like this: https://gist.github.com/1128091 Basically, I want to name a context, then call it later by name, passing a block to it. Or in other words... what is the best way to DRY this code?

Hello! I''ve just added a new cool matcher #in into my framework WatirSplash and thought that this could be integrated into RSpec directly actually if there''s any interest. WatirSplash uses Watir (or Watir-like) frameworks for testing web pages via browser. If you''re not familiar with it then here is a short example how you had to test ajax-heavy application before:

I''m getting really cheesed off with RSpec not matching some of my routes when controller testing when I have subdomain checking (courtesy of subdomain-fu) on namespaces. These routes appear in the rake routes output, and work fine via HTTP requests . The really annoying thing is it''s working fine for routes that aren''t at the root of the namespace. E.g. say I have

Hi everybody, 1) Does anybody have full working example of how to test partial templates? 2) What the correct place to test partials: controller or view spec? If controller correct place, should I use integrate_views? 3) Is it true that expect_render is deprecated and I have to use should_receive(:render) 4) How to test that partial''s locals hash is correct? Thx -------------- next

Given that RSpec has the following methods to create test doubles ... double(:my_test_double) mock(:my_mock_object) stub(:my_stub) Is there a way to/ plans to introduce a similar syntax for null objects? null_object(:my_null_object) Instead of mock(:bar, :is_null_object => true) or mock(:foo).as_null_object I think this would be cleaner, what do you think?

I get the following error when trying to run a spec command on a model test. The command is :- C:\Rspec Test\spec\models>spec bank_account_spec.rb The error is :- c:/jruby-1.5.0/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-rails-1.3.0/lib/spec/rails/ matchers/ ar_be_valid.rb:2: uninitialized constant Spec::Rails (NameError) from c:/jruby-1.5.0/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec- rails-1.3.0/lib/spec/ra

Hey Everyone, Just a simple question. I have read and re-read the examples and I''m not getting the proper output. I''m on page 73/74 of the Rspec book and it says I should have "4 steps passed". I think the problem is within my /step_definition/mastermind.rb" file. It''s definitely not beyond me to make a mistake, but I have checked and double checked my

I''ve been reading through the Rspec book to see if I missed any tricks, and the discussion of before block use for context setup in sec 12.6 struck me as interesting and something I had a knee-jerk reaction to. I think that when you are using nested examples to describe a context change it is bad practice to allow any example within that group to run outside of that context. This could

Hello, I am trying to implement the following scenario, but I am stuck ... The thing is I want to initialize a variable @comment when the stub function "find_comment" is called. The way I do it below doesn''t work, since "before_filter :find_comment" returns true/false and @comment initialization is done inside it. Could you please give me a hint how to do it? One

Hi guys, I''m trying to find some information on how to get autotest to run the rspec2 tests. I have my project setup so "rake spec" runs the specs properly, but autotest seems to ignore/don''t know that there are specs to test. I read on the rspec2 wiki that autotest integration is o be added eventually. Any ideas on how to achieve this? Thanks, Jeroen

Hi, how is it possible that I can use the restful routes helpers (e.g. new_user_path) in controller specs? I browsed the source code but I couldn''t find the magic. I''m just curious and would appreciate any hint... thanks Andi

I''ve just upgraded to Rails 3.2.1 and I can''t get my specs checking whether or not around_save work anymore. I simply did something like: object.should_receive :around_filter_name object.save.should be_true (Actually, it was slightly more complex, it''s part of a state machine)

Hello, I''m new to rails and I''m trying to wrap my heads around how to spec controllers using RSpec (using rails 3rc1 and rspec 2.0.0.beta.19). The problem I''ve run into is when I want to test that my controllers respond with a 404 for unfound records. Whenever I run the spec, the ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound exception is not caught by rails, causing the spec

Hi, Then RSpec 1.4 recommends, in the webpage http://rspec.info/documentation/expectations.html, referencing the subject items. I''m running ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32] over WinXP-Pro/SP2. I believe I installed RSpec with a Ruby gem. At least, I think that''s confirmed because I have a lot of stuff in the directory K:\_Utilities

Hi David, all: I recently upgraded to Rails 2.3.1RC2 (Ubuntu 8.10, ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i486-linux]) and have been dilligently following the instructions for upgrading rspec and rspec-rails according to: http://wiki.github.com/dchelimsky/rspec/rails-with-rspec-gems. and when I run ''rake gem'' fails with error: rake aborted! undefined method `rspec_options='' for #<Hoe:0xb782caf0> /rspec/Rakefile:24 rspec / Rakefile look like # -*- ruby -*- $:.unshift(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), ''...

I find myself doing this: Scenario "logged in user visiting the home page" do Given "A logged in user" do a_logged_in_user end When "..." Then "..." end The a_logged_in_user method is a helper method in helper.rb which sets up the state so that the user can browse the website. Later in the story of course, I can just do ''Given

I happened to mix ryan bates'' authentication scaffold with rspec_scaffold on a demo project. and ran into the problem of mixing mock frameworks...ryan uses mocha. So, as a learning experience, I choose to redo ryan''s tests without mocha but ran into a strange problem with tests of the User model. With debugging you can see.... If you run just the user_spec.rb file, everything

Hi, I recently migrated from classic rails testing to Rspec, so I am pretty new to the framework and still learning. I am getting weird errors on an ActiveRecord model test, here is the basic class model definition: class Size < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :quantities, :dependent => :destroy validates_presence_of :name validates_uniqueness_of :name, :case_sensitive => false end

First of all, please direct me into how better to search existing threads in this mailing list. Ok to my rspec 2.0.1 mocha 0.9.8 issue: given a controller test before do subject.expects(:authenticate).once end it "should bla bla" do pending "PENDING, shouldn''t fail?" end with config.mock_with :rspec it''s ok: pending, but with
