...ing to get even slower. Are there any plans to add BeforeStory or BeforeAll blocks to Cucumber? With this I could start everything once and add reset code to each daemon.

Hello. You''re saying that: To get rspec to behave as it did before this change, use this: --pattern "**/*.rb" I tried like this (rspec 1.03) and it wasn''t same as before (rspec 1.08). Now it also loads all other files in current directory and in all subdirectories and not only from directory and subdirectories given to spec as a parameter. So, for example, I have

Generally doing unusual things is a sign something is amiss. Ashley -- http://www.patchspace.co.uk/ http://aviewfromafar.net/

Hi Google has not helped me here. I''m looking for a way to use the have_tag assert_select wrapper outside RSpec on Rails (but in a Rails project) so I can use it to check text strings. Has anyone managed this? Thanks Ashley -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi -- I am just getting to grips w/ view specs, and am having an issue with mock_model not stubbing the mocked model''s attributes. For instance, I have the following: <CODE> before do @input_timesheet = mock_model( InputTimesheet ) assigns[:input_timesheet] = @input_timesheet end it "should display a table element" do render

Hey list, I''m refactoring some much-used functionality into a common_steps step group. Methods like this are in there: steps_for :common do Given "a number of existing $types?" do |type| @initial_item_count = type.singularize.classify.constantize.count end When "the user adds an invalid $type" do |type| post

I wrote a Rails plugin which uses simian to look for duplicates lines in your code and reports in html format, Textmate or Netbeans. I wrote it using RSpec and I have included a RSpec custom matcher: it { rails_application. with_threshold_of_duplicate_lines(4). should be_DRY } If you use Autotest, your specs will fail the next time you do a nasty copy-paste !!!

Hi all Reposting this for the benefit of anyone who may be able to attend but wouldn''t normally see ShRUG announcements. ShRUG is the Sheffield (UK) Ruby User Group. ShRUG July 2010 is now confirmed. Ashley Moran (that''s me) of PatchSpace Ltd (that''s also me, really) will be running an introduction to RSpec, a powerful and mature BDD/testing library for Ruby*. No RSpec or unit testing experience is necessary, as we will be starting from first principles, but knowing basic Ruby will help. We''re at the new GIST Lab...

So I have a describe which is a subclass of RailsExampleGroup. I inserted some data into my database, and reconnect! my connection. Before reconnect, finding the data I just created is fine. The data cannot be found, after reconnection, the data is gone. It''s not in the database. It looks to me the data is not actually inserted into the DB at all, just somehow buffered somewhere. Would

Here is a very simple spec: -- require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../spec_helper'') describe Product, "The Product model" do describe "When a new blank product object gets created" do before(:each) do @product = Product.new end it "should not be valid" do @product.should_not be_valid

Hi I ran across the following when running spec on an old merb app. $ cat spec/spec.opts $ spec spec/models/topic_spec.rb Options written to spec/spec.opts. You can now use these options with: spec --options spec/spec.opts $ cat spec/spec.opts spec/models/topic_spec.rb $ spec spec/models/topic_spec.rb Options written to spec/spec.opts. You can now use these options with: spec --options

Do RSpec stories make view specs redundant? Does anybody spec their views *and* use stories, and if so how? Any views (no pun intended) appreciated. ~ Thanks Mark -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Is it possible to create a stub that returns hash values. For example I would like to convert this: @siteItem = stub(''plmSiteItem'', :one => "uno") To something like this: @siteItem = stub(''plmSiteItem'', {''one'' => ''uno'', ''two'' => ''dos''} ) So that I can do this:

Assuming you have a multi-step wizard like thing, with lots of different states and paths through it. What approach would your use to write a feature for it?

Hi, I am new to RSpec and BDD. I was wondering if RSpec specifications are a good solution for testing REST webservices (not implemented in Rails). If so, what would be a good way to test something like the API described below? =========== GET http://localhost/workflow text/xml Result: 200 OK <?xml version="1.0"?> <workflows>
