similar to: Class method not being stubbed

I''m having a lot of trouble stubbing out an association extension for some view tests. Example rails code modeling a music album: class Album < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :songs do def streamable find(:all, :conditions => ''streamable = 1'') end end end So for a given Album instance (say @album), I need to be able to stub both

A colleague just came in and asked me about a problem he was having with stub_render, which reminded me of another issue he had a week or so ago, which seems related. Let me start with the earlier issue. He was trying to write specs for a method which sends the same message possibly multiple times, but with different arguments under different calling conditions. He wanted to write

I''m wanting to write a spec that a model is applying an :order option to a find call, but I don''t want to completely specify all of the find parameters. So I want to write something like this, say in a controller spec User.should_receive(:find).with(:all, hash_with_at_least(:order => ''user.name ASC'')) get ''index'', :sort =>

I''m having trouble using autotest with rspec on a non-rails project. my Rspec gem is version 1.0.8, ZenTest is 3.6.2 project structure $ ls * lib: parser.rb spec: parser_spec.rb autotest finds and runs the spec, but it won''t detect changes to lib/parser.rb I know it''s something stupid, but... help? -- Rick DeNatale My blog on Ruby

I''m working on porting our app. Do I need to upgrade rspec from 1.1.3? If so which version. BTW the installation doc at http://rspec.info/documentation/rails/install.html seems to be stuck in the pre-git days. -- Rick DeNatale My blog on Ruby http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/

I finally plunked down for the beta RSpec bundle and I''m working through the initial example. Although I''m a fairly experienced RSpec user, I''m stlll learning new tricks. Anyway, I''m going though the mastermind example, and everything is going well, except that I decided to also try out the Textmate bundle for Cucumber. I decided to use Ben Mabey''s

I''m trying to use stories to drive some high-level design. I''ve got some branching scenarios where I want to follow a scenario, to establish a base situation, and then have different scenarios which ''branch'' out from that state, possibly several levels deep. I asked a bit about this a few days ago, and David pointed out the rather undocumented GivenScenario

I''ve got a model Message, which needs to send an email using action mailer after it''s first saved in the database. I want to pass the model to the mailer which then uses methods on the message model to render the email. So the natural way to do this is in an after_create callback on the Message model. But I can''t see an easy way to test this. Here''s my spec

I''m trying to write a story for a Rails app which involves using the attachment_fu plugin to upload images. After blunting my pick on this for a while, google found me this: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/134743#600831 So it seems that there''s a hole in Rails integration testing and multipart form posting. David offered to incorporate a patch to story runner at the end of the

The RSpec Development Team is pleased as glug (that''s kind of like punch, but more festive) to announce RSpec-1.1.0. Thanks to all who have contributed patches over the last few months. Big thanks to Dan North and Brian Takita for their important work on this release. Dan contributed his rbehave framework which is now the Story Runner. Brian patiently did a TON of refactoring around

Hey, I just ran into a situation where I would like to expect a method call with an argument I know and another one, which is a random number. I think mocking up the rand method is somehow ugly so I thought maybe this is the first time where I can take something from Java to Ruby ;) Java''s EasyMock mocking library knows things like "anyObject()" and "anyInteger()" in

In using stories, I find myself wanting to build scenarios on top of each other, For example I want something like Scenario: The user logs on Given a And b When c And d Then e And f Scenario: The user changes his password Given the user logs on And g Then h In other words, I''d like to write the second scenario starting with the ''state'' produced by

How do I use the ruby debugger with a specific test (not the whole spec file)? I want to do something like this. $ rdebug spec/models/user_spec.rb -s "should error if not new_record" ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?

I''ve made a model called Color to manage custom styles for my application. It works find when I''m running it locally in Mongrel, and I haven''t tried to deploy it yet. I use ZenTest and Autotest, and when I run autotest I''m getting the following message: "C:/rails/band/trunk/app/models/color.rb:1: Color is not a class (TypeError)" My Color model is

I am facing strange problem. I have an object @part=MainPart.find(:all) 1. @part.each_with_index do |mainpart,index| 2. <p><%= mainpart.object_id%></p> 3. end Here problem is that object_id is reserved for rails. Here object_id field in my table . Now i want to get value <%= mainpart.object_id%> is giving GARBAGE VALUE. Is there any solution apart from

I''m now in the process of facing converting a rails app to use Ruby 1.9.1.

I''ve gotten quite a bit out of Pat Maddox''s screencast http://evang.eli.st/blog/2007/10/8/story-runner-top-to-bottom-screencast One thing I''m not sure of is the feature where he writes things like: When "I POST to", "/articles", :post => {:title => "Title", :body => "Body") do | path, params| post_via_redirect

This came up from an other issue where I needed to go check something in test::unit. Immediately when I dropped into the debugger in test::unit I saw something I have been missing: test unit by default shows a number of lines of code. Is there a way to make the rspec debugger do this? I am not sure if it is just me, but seems to me that when I moved to rspec, certain things which seemed to be

hi all, i''m just trying to check a partial has been rendered, by using: response.template.should_receive(:render).with(:partial => "tasks/list") this passes, even if I put something bogus in the partial name, such as: response.template.should_receive(:render).with(:partial => "___tassdfsdfks/list") does anyone know why this doesn''t fail? is this the
