Hi, I''m a rspec newbie. I''m having trouble with rspec''ing a simple controller to Create a record. I''ve tried a couple of approaches and still get errors: Mock ''remedy'' expected :save! with (any args) once, but received it 0 times -or- Mock ''Remedy'' received unexpected message :save with (no args). Here are my two

Hi In light of the fact that RSpec mocks are going into maintenance mode in the near future, I was wondering what everyone was switching to. I liked the look of FlexMock most, so gave that a shot. However, there''s a few things that don''t work well with RSpec due to the traditional differences in the way Test::Unit cases are written vs RSpec specs. (One spec per

Not sure if this is possible currently. I have a section of code like this: ActiveRecord::Base.transaction do cow.save! duck.save! dog.save! end (Names changed to protect the innocent.) I''d like to specify that the saves run in a transaction. I can do ActiveRecord::Base.should_receive(:transaction).and_yield But is there any way to specify that the code is

I''m doing RSpec controller testing with CanCan authorization, and I''m seeing something I''ve never seen in RSpec before: the same test run twice fails on the second one. I am NOT doing before(:all) or other things that should cause state to persist between tests: Here''s the relevant code: context "POST create" do context "with user logged

I''m trying to get rspec-puppet working and have run into a problem. I have a VM running ubuntu lucid, have installed rubygems 1.3.5 from the apt package and have install rspec-puppet (and other required gems), and rake, using gem install. I''ve run rspec-puppet-init in the module I want to test, and have created a very basic spec file for one of the classes in my module.

Hi I''ve been doing this a while now. If I have a class that responds to : [], and all I''m interested in stubbing is that method, then instead of using a mock I just create a hash. (Similarly, you could create an array when you are testing an Enumerable object.) Example from code I just worked on, where uses MigrationGraph#[] looks up graph vertices by name:

Hi How can I specify that a private method of a class gets called? If you run the code below, only spec (1) passes. Spec (2) is what I found causing problems in my code, and class (3) is my failed attempt to work around it. (3 really puzzles me - why is a private class method not accessible via send?) Another problem is that stub! makes public methods, which changes the behaviour of

Hi Not sure if this is the place to ask this or not. I''ve upgraded to RSpec 1.0.5, installed the latest TextMate bundle, but whenever I do "Run Behaviour Descriptions in selected files/directories" I get this: /Users/ashleymoran/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Pristine Copy/ Bundles/RSpec.tmbundle/Support/lib/spec_mate.rb:18:in `run_files'': private method

Hi I hope this is not OT. I''m training my replacement at work to do BDD Rails development. He''s done a CS/maths degree but has no professional programming experience, so he''s never NOT done a project without BDD. In a way I am jealous of his unspoilt situation :) I''ve gone about things this way: * first teach him some Ruby (he did mainly Java at

Hi, I''m a bit stuck with mocking a unit test of a join model with regards to a validates_uniqueness_of clause. I have class Book < AR:B has_many :clippings various validates_presence_of etc end class Clip < AR:B has_many :clippings various validates_presence_of etc end class Clipping < AR:B belongs_to :book belongs_to :clip validates_uniqueness_of :clip_id,

I seem to have a (recent) problem with mongrel on NetBSD. I''m running a development release of NetBSD (called NetBSD-current 4.99.34). When I start mongrel, it listens on the IPv6 wildcard address, but not on the IPv4 wildcard: => Booting Mongrel (use ''script/server webrick'' to force WEBrick) => Rails application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000 => Call with

Hi Just wrote myself a Date.extract_from_rails_hash to handle parsing the "date(1i)", "date(2i)" parameters created in the controller params. I''ve got a method that needs to call this either once or twice, depending on the contents of the form (one section of the form is rendered conditionally). So I had two specs for the case where the second form section

I''ve noticed that I phrase a lot of shared behaviours in plural, eg describe "All payment_details views" How about a "they" alias to "it" so you can write describe "All payment_details views", :shared => true do they "should have a card number field" do # ... end end WDYT? Ashley

Consider the following method: def name_to_terminal puts "Scott Taylor" end How would I spec this out? Scott

the closest i have gotten to a consistent way to test a MS-DOS filesystem setup is: dd if=/dev/zero of=binary.img bs=1M count=500 i="$(losetup -f --show binary.img )" parted binary.img mklabel msdos -s -m dd if=/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin of="${i}" parted binary.img mkpart primary -a optimal -s -m 0% 100% parted binary.img set 1 boot on mkfs.ext4 $(kpartx -savu "${i}"

Hi All, I am new to rspec and it seems that I don''t understand some basics. I need to have a XML import which should parse through XML data and saves all that in various mysql tables. The XML part works just fine and I can test this with rspec. However when I try to execute it "should find country object for DE" do I get an error. @user.country is a one-to-many relation in

Could someone help me get the syntax for `genisoimage' and/or `xorriso' correct? Apparently it is not in many linux distros so below my little HOWTO shows how to compile it. ( which adds tons of crap that can go wrong) mkdir -p ISO_root/isolinux cp /usr/lib/syslinux/[i,m,v]* ISO_root/isolinux cat > ISO_root/isolinux/isolinux.cfg << EOF UI menu.c32 label isolinuxtests EOF # Most

I'm going to assume this is just not possible, or that no one has an answer, which would lead me back to uw-imap since it does work as-is. So I'll post it again, hoping that there is a solution for this setup and that folks have just been too busy to help think about it and/or help come up with a possible solution. ----- Ignoring my previous message just for a second, I realized
