Here''s an excellent blog post on Story Runner, which will be part of the next release and is undergoing active development in trunk: http://evang.eli.st/blog/2007/9/1/user-stories-with-rspec-s-story-runner

Hi folks. I''ve just started using rspec and I have to say it''s very nice. The thing is, I prefer mocha''s mocking dialect. So I thought a simple require ''mocha'' would set me up. Unfortunately, rspec does all its goodness using do/end blocks in anonymous classes, so it wasn''t quite that obvious. Anyway, here is the incantation I ended up

First off, I love mocha and have been using it all over the place ever since I found it a few months ago. So I noticed the other day rather belatedly that mocha-0.4.0 had been released and that we can now do the object.stubs(:method).returns (:first_value, :second_value). Much neater than fiddling with lambdas everytime this sort of behaviour is needed But can we go further ? I was

Thanks to discussions on this list, suggestions from many of you and a patch from Pat Maddox, we now have Plain Text User Stories in Story Runner. Read more: http://blog.davidchelimsky.net/articles/2007/10/21/story-runner-in-plain-english Cheers, David

Hi, all, This isn''t about rspec, but this list has people whose opinions I respect. So, I''m looking for a new version control system for my local development. I was going to install subversion, but I''ve heard rumors of people using some newer ones. Thoughts? I''d like to be able to run it either locally or on a home server. If I run it off a home server, then

I admit it, when it comes to rSpec, I''m lazy. I''ve made a few feeble attempts to use it, but for once I''m waiting for a book-length treatment. At least two books were announced, I think. Can anyone in the know please report on their progress? Thanks Michael -- Michael Schuerig mailto:michael at schuerig.de http://www.schuerig.de/michael/

Hi folks. Does mocha support expectations in a sequence, like JMock''s after(...) method? Or something like that to support ordered expectations? Thanks, Dan

I wanted to draw attention to this bug report [A] which highlights a change that was made between Mocha 0.4 and 0.5. It may have lead to tests which pass unexpectedly. Does my explanation (below) make sense to people? It feels like we should at least add some warnings to the documentation. You are correct that this behaviour did change between Mocha v0.4.0 and > v0.5.0 (in revision 115).

Folks- I just started using Mocha and I wanted to try something but I couldn''t get it to work. I''m coming from the Java world, so my approach may not be optimal for Ruby. Say I''m testing a.do_something() which calls b.do_other_thing() twice, but I really don''t want to change b.do_other_thing(), just ''expect'' it to be called twice. I know I

I have some specs that involve the use of eval and class definitions to test code generation. I want to always start with a clean slate so none of my tests fail or succeed incorrectly due to artifacts left over from previous specs. Example of my situation Spec 1 defines class Fish class Cod < Fish Spec 2 defines class Animal class Cod < Animal In this situation the

Hi folks. So I''m using mocha on a ruby project, and I really like it. One thing I''ve noticed is that it can be a bit "surprising" when I''m mocking methods that don''t exist on an object, and I think there''s an easyish fix. At the moment, you use sheep = mock() to create a mock sheep. What I''d like to do is something like sheep =

OK, so i''ve played a bit with mocks and mock_models in controller and view tests and i have a question. Is this statement really correct: "We highly recommend that you exploit the mock framework here rather than providing real model objects in order to keep the view specs isolated from changes to your models." (http://rspec.rubyforge.org/documentation/rails/writing/views.html

I''m writing a plain text story (testing the waters) and I have scenarios that I need to chain in my specs. Here is what I have so far: Story: User purchasing tshirts As a user I want to checkout So that I can purchase shirts Scenario: User goes to checkout with nothing in cart Given a user And user has an empty cart When user goes to checkout Then user

Fistly, many, many thanks for RSpec and Story Runner. Minor request to improve readability of output Given a scenario item with multiple params.. Eg. And "the user belongs to", "Joe", "Acme" do |user_name, company_name| The readability of the following output is less than ideal.. "And the user belongs to company,Joe Public, No Videos" It would be
