I have a lot of controllers with virtually identical functionality for most actions. I''ve been using shared behaviours to DRY things up a bit, but I still have to create separate behaviours for each context before I can use the shared behaviours what I have now is a generic file which contains all the behaviours and examples common to all the controllers, and that file gets loaded from

Hello can anyone tell me how to test cookies using rspec? specifically, I''d like to be able to set a cookie before a get/post request and also to test the cookies which have been set by a get/post request I know I can use cookies[:name] = ''value'' to set a cookie but how would I set expiry information on such a cookie? when i try to pass a hash {:value =>

I have a couple of methods which make networks calls. Where''s the best place to stub them so they are stubbed for every description automatically? I tried in spec_helper.rb but they are no longer stubbed when a spec runs. at the moment, I''m checking for the test environment in the methods themselves, and returning a dummy value, but I''m sure there''s a better

I''d like to test that my model attributes are properly protected against mass assignment, something like: it "should NOT update :balance on mass assignment" do @account.attributes = {:balance => 1000} @account.balance.should_not == 1000 end instead of doing each attribute manually however, I''d like to automate it so I can pass a list of attributes which CAN be

hi all I have the following code in a spec: @user = mock("user") User.stub!(:authenticate).and_return(@user) @user.should_receive(:id).once.and_return(99) post :login, {:username => ''username'', :password => ''password''} session[:user_id].should == 99 it works as expected but I get the following warning when I run the spec: warning:

I have the following model: class Book < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :taggings, :dependent => :delete_all has_many :tags, :through => :taggings end is it possible to check that associated taggings are being destroyed using mocks?

hypothetical question for all you BDD experts: I want to make sure that a :list action always returns widgets in alphabetical order. There''s at least 2 ways of doing this: it "should fetch items in alphabetical order" do Widget.should_receive(:find).with(:order => "name ASC") get :list end it "should fetch items in alphabetical order" do [:red,

as my rails application gets bigger, I find I''m writing the same generic specs for standard CRUD operations. with 8 controllers so far, and more to come, I''m keen to reduce the duplication. I asked before about generating specs dynamically in this thread : http://www.nabble.com/dynamic-specs-tf3927280.html#a11137640 but it doesn''t seem possible completely possible.

I know the point is to isolate the code being tested and remove external dependencies, but I''m not sure how to implement it. Can someone suggest how they would spec the code below: I have a Book model and Review model class Book < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :reviews

I''m using a "CHARSET=utf8" option in my migrations, but this isn''t dumped to schema.rb - a file that test:db:clone uses to create the test database. The end result is some of my specs fail because they''re expecting the db table to be using utf8. to get round this, I switched to using db:test:clone_structure which DOES preserve the charset option, but when the

I''m trying to write a custom expectation: controller.should_require_login_for(:action_name). I''m using the example in the docs for ''Custom Expectation Matchers'' but I''m unsure how to make the get() method available to my ShouldRequireLogin class. I''ve tried requiring spec_helper but no joy. can anyone help? thanks -- View this message in
