...#39;'t just a fight for DRY, but also encourages good spec design. Situations diverse enough to need separate body code could use different contexts anyway. If there is a call for this feature, I''d be happy to make a go at patching it into RSpec. Reactions? -- Chris Anderson http://jchris.mfdz.com

...I run my specs at r6061, they all pass, and in 6062 I get a trace like this every time my controller generates a route: TypeError in ''Requesting /artists/1 using PUT should redirect to the artist'' can''t convert Fixnum into String (eval):19:in `artist_url'' /Users/jchris/ruby/rails/grabbit/config/../app/controllers/artists_controller.rb:59:in `update'' /Users/jchris/ruby/rails/grabbit/config/../app/controllers/artists_controller.rb:56:in `update'' ./spec/controllers/artists_controller_spec.rb:267:in `do_update'' ./spec/controllers/artists_co...

I''m curious, Christian Neukirchen has released test/unit[1] that seems to mirror much of RSpec, but built on Test::Unit, so in some ways less brittle from a Rails-integration perspective, and also allowing you to mix the two together as appropriate. So, has anyone made an informed comparison? I''m new enough that I don''t really know the finer points yet. The syntax is

My problem has been listed here: http://railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?pid=25439#p25439 Don''t think it would be required to completely re-type it here :) Thanks! -- -Daniel Fischer http://danielfischer.com - Geek Blog http://abigfisch.com - Portfolio http://writersbeat.com - Writing Community

...k, without going through with mocking and stubbing all the code the after_create hook uses. Stopping execution at the point where the expectation is satisfied is also appealing, in a premature optimization kind of way. Like I said, an abomination, but maybe a useful one. -- Chris Anderson http://jchris.mfdz.com

...with RSpec gave me a faster library, in less time, with less code, while worrying less about code duplication. With RSpec, I build up behaviour, a little at a time, filling in the methods only when I need to. More taste, less filling.

Hi All I''m having some problems running my view specs when using simply_helpful. I have it semi-working via the following: module SimplyHelpfulHelper def self.included(base) base.send :include, SimplyHelpful::RecordIdentificationHelper base.send :include, SimplyHelpful::RecordTagHelper end end context "The index template" do setup do @shift =

Am I correct in remembering that autotest (with Test::Unit) would rerun all the tests if a subset of the tests passed? If so, shouldn''t this behaviour also be present in rspec''s autotest library? Scott

Is anyone using RSpec with RESTful rails apps? In my rails controllers I check request.respond_to? and render different views accordingly. I noticed that the get method in the rails plugin doesn''t accept headers: controller_mixin.rb line 92 def get(action, parameters = nil) @request.env[''REQUEST_METHOD''] = ''GET'' process action,

Is anyone using rspec with autotest? Scott

Hello - I''m currently trying to write some specs for my rails views. My views depend upon the restful authentication plugin method logged_in? Like so, <% if logged_in? %> <ul id="product-admin-nav"> <dd><%= link_to "create a new product", new_product_url %></dd> </ul> <% end %> However, when I have the following

...ure out why, but it''s late, so I should sleep instead. I guess the question is, has anyone had luck using Heckle with Rails? I''ve got it working for regular ruby specs, and it''s a lot of fun (although I do hit infinite loops sometimes). Thanks! -- Chris Anderson http://jchris.mfdz.com

...#39;', :default => 5) and if you allow the default value to be a lambda that takes the mock as an argument, you can make :null_object a special case: m = mock(''returns self'', :default => lambda{|m| m}) but now I''m just getting silly. -- Chris Anderson http://jchris.mfdz.com

Hi all, We''re thinking about retiring the test2spec translation tool because it''s becoming a maintenance problem. Is anyone using it? Would anyone miss it if it went away? Aslak

Hi, I have a project that I had running under rspec 0.6.x and recently upgraded to 0.7.2. I am trying to isolate my controllers from the database as I go through and change all the specs to run under 0.7.2. I am having a problem where I need to make the create! method return the mocked object as well as raise RecordInvalid exception. Is this at all possible? I use the rescue statement in my

All, If you look at http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=6760&group_id=797&atid=3149 you''ll see that Chad (the submitter) found the source of the bug. Unfortunately, the source of *this* bug is the *solution* to a *previous bug* in which Rails was replacing RSpec''s method missing with its own. When we settled on underscores, my one reservation was
