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

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''] ) end end How can I do this? -------------- next part -------------- An

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

Hi. I''m upgrading 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

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

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

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? Here''s my spec (removed some passing examples) require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../spec_helper'' describe "A user" do before(:each) do @user = User.new @valid_user = User.new( :email =>

Hi, Since moving this morning from 0.7.5.1 to 0.8.2 I''ve hit some problems and I''m not sure if it''s something I''m doing wrong or a change in 0.8.2 Basically I dislike fixtures so I have been using a helper method to create an object I need frequently and setting it up in the setup method, in 0.7.5.1 this all worked fine - but since moving to 0.8.2

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

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 [..

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)

I''m trying to test registration emails (sent with devise), and I keep getting the error: Net::SMTPServerBusy: 454 4.7.1 <model_spec-hcDgGtZH8xNBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org>: Relay access denied I''m running Rails 3.2.11 with Capybara, and I have (temporarily) chopped my spec_helper.rb and test.rb files down to the bare minimum, still getting the error above.

I''m trying to write specs for a plugin I''m developing named audit_fu, and I''m running into a problem which I can''t get past it. I''ve got the same specs setup in the main rails app, and everything works fine there, it''s just running the plugin specs that I''m having a problem with. My setup is: - edge rails - edge rspec (in

Hi, I''m pretty new to Rspec, so hope 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

i''m using gem Remarkable activerecord for association. i''ve installed remarkable and remarkable activerecrod both gem. i''ve added both gem in my Gemfile. i''ve added "remarkable_activerecord" as required in spec_helper.rb. describe Authentication do FactoryGirl.build(:authentication).should belong_to(:user)

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
