Hi, I''ve been following this thread and I can get the example stories to run with the ruby command. But I''ve been unable to get the example from http://blog.davidchelimsky.net/articles/2007/10/25/plain-text-stories-part-iii to run with all.rb ruby stories/all.rb /home/edh/story/stories/additions/steps/addition_steps.rb:2: undefined method `steps_for'...

I''m a Rails newbie and am working my way through Simply Rails 2 by Patrick Lenz. Have run into a problem on page 207 of the book; this is the error I run into when I fire up my server and open up httpL//localhost:3000/ stories/new I have posted the error message and trace below. Thanks in advance for your help. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Showing app/views/stories/show.html.rb where line #1 raised: You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!

This is mostly theoretical, but ... I''m starting to use lighthouse (http://llighthouseapp.com) for my projects at work. I''m organizing iterations as milestones and stories as tickets tagged to a milestone. Lighthouse offers an API so that you can write access the data in your account and write apps to process that data. I think you see where this is going. It seems to me that a plain text story could be stored in a lighthouse ticket, read in via the lighthouse API...

Hi all, Are there any plans for better documentation for the new StoryRunner feature? I tried to use it today (with Rails), and had a hard time getting my head around whether I was doing it "right" and exactly what things are appropriate to test at that level (this might be exacerbated by the fact that I''ve never really used integration testing that much). A full example of

Hi all, I have read Dan North''s post ''Whats in a Story?'' (http://dannorth.net/whats-in-a-story) but I am still having a hard time knowing when I should break requirements up into separate stories or keep them as scenarios. I am currently trying to write a story (stories) for the registration process of a site. The registration process is a multistep process that changes based on the type/role of user that is signing up. So depending on the user''s role (given by the user on...

I have played a bit with RSpec specs and now want to check out stories. I note that there is no generator for rspec stories pre se (unless I managed to miss all references to one ) and that the only directory relating to stories added by installing rspec is ./stories itself. The documentation at rspec.info seems to presume a great deal of prior knowledge. What I am...

Hi, all! I have a story steps array.rb and the story array.story. I can run it with ruby array.rb But when I execute spec array.rb nothing happened. I''m wondering how can I use spec command to execute stories? (executing examples is OK) Or maybe another question. If I have to run stories with `ruby'' command, how can I choose the output format? (I think there''s only plain text and HTML for stories currently) Any idea? Thanks. ps: Here''s my stories ============ array.rb ======...

What''s the status on a rake task for the story runner. If nothing is in progress, where could I start to try and build one? JD

Hi, I began experimenting with habtm relationships, and so I created a stories table, a tags table, and a stories_tags table referencing the former 2. When I create a "story", I want to add several tags to it. Then, the model should create those tags and link them to the respective stories, and for the tags that already exists, just link them to the story. I tr...

Hi, I''m trying to get up and running with StoryRunner. I have a story that looks something like the following, but the call to mock_model produces the exception listed below. Am I just misunderstanding the concept? Are mocks not meant to be used in stories like this? Or is this a bug? Changing @user to be an actual AR object makes things run without error. ENV["RAILS_ENV"] = "test" require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../config/environment") require ''spec'' require ''spec/rails...

Hi, I''ve been investigating plain text stories, and I had a quick question. How would I go about creating story tests for views in isolation, instead of the full stack? I had hoped to be able to do a straight render ''/'', but it says it can''t find the method. The reason that I want to do this is that I want to give ou...

Hi Community.... I''m new in this game, so this might be a easy question, but I have done my google, without result, so I will try this.... I''m learning ROR, and I''m using Patrick Lens ''Ruby on Rails'' book. (This is written for ror 1.x - and I''m using NetBeans 6.1 - ror 2.x - this might be the problem...) But... I have made this

Should the stories dir be located on the project root? I was expecting to find it located under spec/ but there isn''t anything there, just the stories dir off of /. Also there don''t appear to be any rake tasks for stories, nor generators. Should there be any? Thanks, Steve

Hi, How can I have a common set of steps that all my stories share? i.e. My stories often start out looking like this: Given a user Joe Given a user Jordan then: Given("a user $username") do |username| @users ||= {} @user_sessions ||= {} @users[username] = create_user(:username => username) @user_sessions[username] = login_as(@users[...

We''ve just added rspec stories to our CruiseControl.rb build. When there''s a failing scenario we see the failure in the log output, but it doesn''t cause the CruiseControl build to fail. We''ve also just upgraded to the latest rspec version, 1.1.4, which fixes rspec bug 228, but the CC.rb build is stil...

Hi all, I''m just getting to grips with rspec, and I''m trying to put together a showy demo. We''re trying to use the (plain text) stories feature, rather than the specs. I''d like to show off a fancy HTML report of the results if possible. So it seems I can do this from the spec command line tool, but I can''t make it work for a story. I''ve got the three files (story.txt, steps.rb, runner.rb) from the rspec...
