Hi, I was playing with rspec and every time I find a possible improvement that could be made in spec_helper or rakefile I have to change it in every module that is using rspec tests. So maybe these things could be centralized, I thought to myself. I found the following module, actually. https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-module_spec_helper But I am at a lost how to use it. Is it supposed to pr...

In my spec_helper, I want to load yaml file to a variable, and then be able to use that in my tests. spec_helper.rb: RSpec.configure do |config| end config = YAML::Load(......) some_spec.rb describe ''blah'' do it "should be...." do MyClass.new( config[''test'...

If you''re keeping up to date with trunk, don''t forget to run script/generate rspec. Revision 2952 includes a small change to spec/spec_helper.rb. Cheers, David

I have to stub out setup do request.stub!(:user_agent).and_return(''Mozilla'') end in each context because my Rails application.rb relies on it (for IE reasons). Is there a way to create mocks or stubs in spec_helper.rb so I don''t have to repeat this? Thanks, Steve

...ading a project from an 0.8.0 pre-release gem to 0.8.2. I''ve installed the 0.8.2 gem, and the rspec_on_rails 0.8.2 plugin: ruby script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/tags/REL_0_8_2/rspec When I try to run my specs though, I get the below error. It''s as if the spec_helper cannot find "spec/rails". I''ve noticed that "spec/rails" is part of the rspec plugin, but I''m using the gem and cannot find spec/rails.rb (it''s required in spec_helper.rb). I''m stuck and banging my head against the walls. Things fall out....

Hello, After moving into the HEAD of rspec, I am greeted with a mountain of errors, which I expected, due to my specs not being migrated. I use hpricot for a lot of my view tests, as it is extremely simple to traverse the DOM with it. I used to include HpricotSpecHelper in spec_helper.rb, like so: require ''hpricot_spec_helper'' module Spec module Rails module Runner class EvalContext < Test::Unit::TestCase include HpricotSpecHelper end end end end However, I am now getting errors that indicate that this inclusion no longer...

I also copied the spec_helper from a newly created merb app (1.0.12) into the old app, but the issue persisted. Perhaps a library conflict might be to blame? I also encoutered an even stranger issue where a single example resulted in multiple failures i.e. a spec containing 4 examples produced the following output 3 examples...

Hi, I just moved from 1.08 to 1.10 and now have one example failing, which, under 1.08, passed. Is the due to a change in behaviour?

Hi! I would really like to find a way to allow me to write RSpec specifications for code that use database transactions. I know I can set config.use_transactional_fixtures = false in my spec_helper.rb. That works, and that''s great, but it will (I think) slow down my specs quite a bit. I would like to turn off transactional fixtures for just a single spec (describe), or even better, just a single example (it). I tried this: before(:all) do Spec::Runner.configure do |c...

When do these files, along with lib/spec and lib/spec_server get created? I tried to create a quick test project and can''t remember how they were created in a previous project. Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Ok, this is INCREDIBLY finicky of me, and I''m a really finicky person at the best of times, but I noticed that when you use the TM Alternate File command to create specs, it does it with a header line like this: File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../../../spec_helper'' I use a header line like this require File.expand_path(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), *%w [.. .. .. spec_helper.rb])) (Think I nicked it from some of David''s code) Does the former expose you to loading the spec_helper twice under any circumstances? Just wondered,...

Where should the specs go for code in the "lib" directory of a Rails app? I made a folder, "spec/lib/", for storing such specs, and RSpec automatically picks them up when run using "rake spec". Before I go ahead and patch rspec_on_rails/lib/autotest/ rails_rspec.rb so that autotest can monitor these specs I''d like to ask whether this is the

I just got back from RailsConf, and upgraded on of my development apps to 2.1, and now autotest is going into an infinite loop. It runs tests continuously instead of waiting for files to be saved before rerunning. Has anybody else seen this, or know how to get around it? Thanks, Andrew

Hi, I''m trying to setup a mock for my controller test but I can''t get it to recognise the mock. I use it "should find all users" do User.should_receive(:find).with( :all, :limit => 10 ).and_return([@user]) do_get end and in the controller @users = User.find(:all, :limit => 10 ) But this does not work. It gives me User expected :find with (:all)

...ope someone can help me out with this. I''m leveraging a couple pre-existing applications in my current project, both have fairly robust test suites in Rspec already. However, one is using Rspec''s builit in mocking, and the other is using mocha. If I set config.mock_with mocha in spec_helper.rb, then all of the rspec mocks fail. If I comment this out, all of the specs with mocha fail. Is there some way to set the mocking framework on a test and/or file basis? I''ve been all over Google, and can''t seem to find a resolution to this. I really don''t want to...

Hi all, I''m using Goldberg, an engine that provides roles based access control for my app. I need to login before I can do controller tests, but I can''t find any examples of people doing this. Could someone point me in the right direction? I thought the simplest way would be to either call the login action from my other tests before(:all), but I can''t seem to
