Hi Are there any tools around that make rspec''s failure messages easier to read? unit_diff from ZenTest doesn''t seem to work - unless I missed something. A simple but very helpful improvement would be to use more line- breaks, e.g. Current output: expected "this is a very long string blah blah", got "this is a very very long string blah blah" (using

Hello, I''m currently working on a text-based roleplay browser game, and i''m trying to figure out what the best approach would be in order to create a system that allows me to assign roles to a user, and permissions based upon the role a user has. I''ve been thinking about creating a model User, which has_many :roles, and with the Role model which has_many :permissions.

Hi, Not sure if this is the right place for general questions on BDD style, but here goes... I have a class which behaves almost like a big function - you always instantiate it with a bunch of args, and call one of a couple of methods to get the results back. BDD style seems to like a separate describe block for each instantiation of the class under test. In this case that would mean a

Hiya I used to be able to run a single example with spec -l <line-num> <spec file> But now it always just runs 0 tests when I give this option. Any ideas? Thanks Tom

Does rspec not understand "fixtures :all" ? If so, has it been requested? If not, can I request it? If you need a patch I can surely submit one. ;) Zach

Hi guys, for about one and half a year I am involved in RoR Development. I like the framework very much! But more and more I have my doubts, that this framework will succeed, I think Ruby on Rails succeed only, if some powers from community will be concentrated on a target-oriented development of the Framework. Since the approach of a pragmatic way of programming isn''t new anymore, more

How would one write a spec on environment.rb in a rails app? I was requiring a gem in environment.rb, but received a "MissingSourceError". Generally, ruby raises a LoadError when it can''t find a gem, but rails overrides this to raise a MissingSourceError (since rails is expecting a required file to be in lib/...). How would I write a spec to override this behavior,

Hi all rspec_on_rails/lib/spec/rails.rb starts: ------ dir = File.dirname(__FILE__) require ''application'' silence_warnings { RAILS_ENV = "test" } ------ That force into "test" environment is causing me trouble and I''ve commented it out. Why? I''m testing a plugin, and have a sort of mini rails app that I use for the specs. The

Hi OK it looks like I''m a convert to BDD :-) Well in principle at least - let''s see how it turns out. I''ve just set up a test environment for the Hobo plugin according to this guide: http://www.pluginaweek.org/2006/11/24/plugin-tip-of-the-week- testing-your-plugins-the-right-way/ And then adapted the setup to work with RSpec In the plugin I now have: /spec
