search for: use_transactional_fixtures

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 Spe...

...but would like to add proper testing from here on out. Currently when I type rake in my application directory, it attempts to load my unit tests (all generated files with single default assertion), but immediately fails with the error: ./test/unit/../test_helper.rb:18: undefined method ''use_transactional_fixtures='' I read up on transactional_fixtures and testing in general and also searched this list and in Google, but haven''t been able to find any reference to this problem. It is probably something stupid simple, but I am at a dead end for now. Has anyone else run into this? At this p...

Folks, I checked my test_helper.rb and it has self.use_transactional_fixtures = true My code was generated with 1.1.2 and I''m using 1.1.3 right now after but the error persists. I googled for this issue and it appears that a require is missing or something like that. I can''t figure it out, please help! /opt/local/bin/ruby -Ilib:test "/opt/local/...

Hi We have specs in our rails project other than model/view/controller .. we have interests and lib ... using use_transactional_fixtures = true seems fine in a spec in the m/ v/c and interests directories but not in lib Just wondered if anyone had any quick thoughts as to why that may be???

With a normal test_helper, everything works just fine. However, if I change test_helper.rb to include test/rails and the class from Test::Unit::TestCase to Test::Rails::TestCase, I get this: ./test/functional/../test_helper.rb:19: undefined method `use_transactional_fixtures='' for Test::Rails::TestCase:Class (NoMethodError) from ./test/functional/contact_controller_test.rb:1 from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.1/lib/rake/rake_test_loader.rb:5 from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.1/lib/rake/rake_test_loader.rb:5 I...

If you see this error message: undefined method `use_transactional_fixtures='' for Test::Unit::TestCase:Class (NoMethodError) You should check all your dependencies, all the lines containing require and especially require_dependency. You have probably done a refactoring "Rename" a class and forgot to propagate the change everywhere! More details on htt...

We''re migrating a Rails 2.3.x application to Rails 3 and RSpec 2.x. In Rails 2.3.x we were using https://github.com/freelancing-god/after_commit to provide after_commit functionality (now provided by Rails 3). The plugin version of after_commit came with some helpers to make testing with `use_transactional_fixtures = true` work. From: https://github.com/freelancing-god/after_commit "Keep in mind that transactions are finicky at best in tests, and so there?s a helper module to make after_commit play nicely in your testing context. You?ll need to add these two lines to your spec/test helper:" A...

I just updated my Rails install to the most current Edge and my controller specs fail: 1) TypeError in ''The User Controller should be a user controller'' can''t convert nil into String Each spec fails the same way. <context string> <spec string> can''t convert nil into String Any ideas what''s up with this? Thanks, s.ross

Im having trouble with Testing models. im following the tutorials in the book Agile Web Development with Rails. if i execute the code product_test.rb, i get this error: ============================================================ 1) Failure: test_update2(ProductTest) [test/unit/product_test.rb:30]: <29.95> expected but was <99.95>. 3 tests, 11 assertions, 1 failures, 0 errors

Okay - so the sqlite bug reported a day or so ago on the list is real bug. I''m going to file something in the tracker for that... I also learned that before(:all)...after(:all) is not wrapped in a transaction, the way before(:each)...after(:each) is. Is there some reason behind this? Can you not wrap transactions inside transactions? Scott

For testing, I use: self.use_transactional_fixtures = true This should cause a ROLLBACK for each test case. If I run a single file, foo_controller_test.rb, it works as expected. I see BEGIN and ROLLBACK 8 times in the log files. But if I run: rake test:functionals I get 3 COMMITs, 196 BEGINS and 193 ROLLBACKs. The code in fixtures.rb that deal...

We had an after(:each) callback that looked like this: PurchaseOrder.find(:all).each {|po| DraftInvoice.find_all_by_po_number(po.po_number).each {|di| di.destroy}} which we were hoping would reset some purchase order data in a certain way. However, because we have "self.use_transactional_fixtures = true" set in test_helper.rb, this code was never getting committed. So, I just want to verify: Attempting to manipulate data directly in the DB in a before/after callback doesn''t make sense since those changes will not persist across tests because of the transactionality implie...

Hey Guys, I''ve got a test class that loads a bunch of fixtures. My understanding is that fixtures are reloaded between each test... and I even have the following two method calls at the top of my test class to make doubly sure... class TaskTest < Test::Unit::TestCase self.use_transactional_fixtures = true self.use_instantiated_fixtures = false When I run my tests individually... as in: ruby unit/task_test.rb --name test_update The tests run successfully to completion. However, when I try to run the entire test file in one go, I get failures. As in: ruby unit/task_test.rb > 8) E...

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

...far so good. Cucumber still loads the fixtures I moved as planned. But Rspec is still loading them too! This is despite `spec/spec_helper.rb` saying: config.fixture_path = "#{::Rails.root}/spec/fixtures" I have tried setting the following in `spec/spec_helper.rb`: config.use_transactional_fixtures = false However, it doesn''t work. And it wouldn''t be a long-term solution anyway, as I may need fixtures in Rspec in the future. How can I fix this?

Hi, I''m trying to do unit tests which should save informations into a database that another computer should be able to get while the test is running. The problem is although my unit test class has "use_transactional_fixtures" set to false, when I create a new instance of a model and save it, it does not actually appear in the database when connecting to this same database with the "mysql" command line tool. The fixtures are the only present records. My question is: how to do so that the records ac...

Hello, I have recently upgraded to the 0.8.2 release of rSpec, and I am receiving the following message with each view spec execution: WARNING: there is no transaction in progress I have upgraded the rspec_on_rails plugin as well, and both the model and controller tests are working flawlessly. Is there some simple step I missed? thanks for the input. -Chris -------------- next part

Hi all, I get an error when testing the "store_controller_test.rb" The troublesome line is in the test below: def test_add_to_cart get :add_to_cart, :id => @version_control_book.id <<< cart = session[:cart] assert_equal @version_control_book.price, cart.total_price assert_redirected_to :action => ''display_cart'' follow_redirect

Hi, I was confused yesterday. I have bunch of tests and one of those was testing ActiveRecord::save and it was all right, but next method failed because table still had newly created record. All documentation suggests that it should not be the case and that data is reloaded from fixtures before every method is run. I am running edge rails and really did not have anything special done about

I have a step definition like this: Then "the account should be created" do account = Account.find_by_name("my shiny new account") p account.class account.should_not be_blank end When running this step, I got the error message: Account(id: integer, name: string, state: string, next_renewal_at: date, created_at: datetime, updated_at: datetime, full_domain: string,
