...mple from autotest: class Autotest def self.run new.run end def new ... end def run ... end ... end How would I spec out Autotest.run? Two complications come to my mind: 1. How do I spec out class methods? (please point me to docs, if any. I can only find class level specing on "partial mocks" (of rails class objects) 2. How can I tell that new.run has been called, without saying should_receive(:new) and should_receive(:run) in separate specs? Another complication: How would I spec out the (instance level) run method, which has an infinite loop?...

Hi, I am trying to spec helper methods in a Rails project, but it seems the specs fail with the error: You might have expected an instance of Array. The error occurred while evaluating nil.<< if the restful routes helper are used either in spec files, or the helper file. What can I be doing wrong? Or how can I fix this. Thanks! -- Surendra Singhi http://ssinghi.kreeti.com,

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

Hi! Having some wine on Saturday and just playing around writing some ruby script: * have you spec any ''system'' method? As long I know it just returns false or true and everything else is just out of reach; prove me I''m wrong :-) it ''should have response with 64.233.167.99'' system ''ping google.com'' Priit

I was reading the documentation on using rails with rspec and I didn''t see anything about how to spec libraries in the rails /lib directory so that they''re integrated into the whole spec::rails system. Where should I put specs for my libraries, and what''s the best way to require the files that I''m testing in my spec? I''ve never used rspec before, and

Do I need to spec an AR.

Hello, I''m trying to figure out how to setup a spec structure for plugins. I''m getting pretty lost in figuring out how to isolate a plugin enviornment emulating rails, but not actually being reflected upon the current rails project. What I mean is this, let''s say I have a comment plugin. This has two things in lib, the comment model (comment.rb) and then the module

I''m trying to set up and run a new form builder under rails, which lives under the helpers directory, but isn''t really a helper. (Not a module, so doesn''t mix in well) Short of dropping down into a view spec, how do I set up to actually spec the form builder? describe RandomFormBuilder do attr_reader :builder before do @object = mock_model(Foo) @builder =

Greetings, I''m using rspec with rcov for my applications and there is one issue which I cannot solve nor can find any proper information regarding it: specing what is in a rescue block in case of an exception. I''m using Ruby on Rails and I usually make use of exceptions in my controllers, like the following example: def action @foo = Foo.find(1) @foo.update_attributes!(params[:foo]) redirect_to :back rescue ActiveRecord::RecordInval...

I''m trying to specify that an action should be rendered with a given layout one particular spec. What I''ve got at the moment is this. it "should render with the grabber layout" do controller.should_receive( :render ).with( :layout => "my_layout" ) do_get end This doesnt work even though this call to render is being executed. render :layout

Hey guys and gals, I have a snippet of code: Net::SMTP(@host, @port, @from_domain) do |smtp| @emails.each do |email| begin smtp.send_message email.encoded, email.from, email.destinations @emails_sent += 1 rescue Exception => e # blah end end end What I want to do is: Say there are 4 emails.

I am writing a small ruby script that will be accepting input from postfix''s pipe command (ie, not running via the shell, directly executing). One of the things I need to do it spec the exit codes to make sure I am returing the correct exit codes for each condition as Postfix will then return SMTP errors as appropriate. I have two files that concern this bit of the program, init.rb and

Hi, Not sure if this is the right place for general questions on BDD style, but here goes... I have a class which behaves almost like a big function - you always instantiate it with a bunch of args, and call one of a couple of methods to get the results back. BDD style seems to like a separate describe block for each instantiation of the class under test. In this case that would mean a

Hello all, I''m currently having an issue with some specs, specifically scope issues (probably more of a scope issue than a spec issue at this point)...

I wrote this abomination just now, and wonder if anyone else has had experience with the pattern behind it. In short, I''m specing an after_create hook on an ActiveRecord model, that calls a bunch of private methods. Instead of stubbing all those private methods (which is verboten anyway, as well as impossible because creating the object which owns those methods is what I''m specing, so I don''t have the object...

Hi, How are people specifying models which act_as_list? I''m thinking that it would be possible to check that acts_as_list instance methods have been added to a class using something like this: describe Page, "acts_as_list" do it "should act as a list" do Page.ancestors.should be_include(ActiveRecord::Acts::List::InstanceMethods) end it "should use
