...could put some "magic" into my mobile phone voicemail welcome message that tells asterisk to put the call back into the Queue? Would any of these help? Or is there a way of specifying that an extension or a channel can only be used by one call at a time? Please Help... Yours Jan Marius Evang

I found an awesome feature today. When you''re setting expectations, you can actually pattern match the parameters to methods. Here''s my discussion and example: http://evang.eli.st/blog/2007/1/19/parameter-matching-in-rspec Pat

Hi, I''m quite new to Rspec and I''m embarking on a new project. One thing I''m really not sure about is how to test plugins and code in your ''lib/'' folder. Where would these specs actually live in the dir structure? Should you test plugins by creating specs within the plugin''s dir? Or by adding a spec to the main ''/specs''

Hi guys, I have one question: When refactoring the working code I need or should refactoring the specs too?

My team is working on a plugin and we want to use RSpec internally for the plugin''s tests. (a) What are some different ways to go about this? Should we rely on the RSpec gem? Should we expect that the "host" Rails application has installed the RSpec plugins? Are there other options? (b) Which approach from (a) would you recommend? (c) Would you recommend any particular

Suppose we have a method ''foo'' which internally uses another method ''bar''. Being good BDDers we mock out the ''bar'' method. After all, we only want to spec the ''foo'' method - actually running the ''bar'' method means slower, less maintainable and brittler specs. That''s why we <3 mocking,

Many posts on this list are about using RSpec with Rails and that''s the way I''m also using RSpec all the time. Unfortunately there isn''t that much info about using RSpec for standalone Ruby projects. I must admit I''m really having a hard time writing the very first example(s) for a fresh standalone Ruby project. I haven''t really got a clue where to

Disclaimer: The following are observations by a relatively new user (couple of weeks) of RSpec and not intended as RSpec trollbait. Also, forgive me if similar topics have been discussed elsewhere on the mailing list. I at least did the due diligence of a quick search. That said... I''ve been positively thrilled with RSpec for use outside of Rails. It has been in my attempts

If i go *nix, what distro is best suited for rails. I would be using mysql, so that would come in to play. If i go *nix, i would use apache.
