Hey all, As some of you may know I created the Cucumber TextMate bundle: http://github.com/bmabey/cucumber-tmbundle/tree/master What most of you probably don''t know is that I stopped using TextMate (in favor of Vim) several months ago. Since then the Cucumber bundle has been somewhat neglected by me and I''ve mostly pulled in patches and regenerated the syntax for new

Hi all, This seems like a plugin conflict (I haven''t yet had success replicating this in a new project), but short version is: when I have "rspec-rails" in my environment.rb plugin config, table names are double quoted in mysql queries generated by my standard finders. rspec-rails commented out: SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE (`users`.`id` = ''159564615'')

Hi, I''m struggling with something that seems to be simple, and I''ve not had any joy following the RSpec books suggestions (p. 187). I''d like to test that a method raises and error when a file is not found. I''ve tried adding this in my example just before I call my method, but it never seems to get invoked. Pathname.stub(:exist?).and_return(false) The whole

Hi there, I''m fairly new to RSpec, and DataMapper and I''m trying to write a controller spec for an index action that will include DM query chaining. Here is a very simplified version of the Controller#index I''m working on def index @widgets = Widget.all(:order => [ :name.asc ]) if params[:alpha] @widgets = @widgets.by_alpha(params[:alpha]) elsif

Hi I am experimenting with Constructor based dependency injection for rails controllers. So I have something like this class LoginSessionsController < ApplicationController def initialize(authenticator = TheRealAuthenticator) @authenticator = authenticator end .... end The plan was to override the authenticator used when testing with something like describe

Hi all, I''ve been cleaning up our routing file, and removed the default map.connect ":controller/:action" route. It''s thrown up a bunch of sloppy mistakes, which is great, but I also think I''ve found a problem with the view specs. We have a generic navbar partial which is rendered in the index page of several different controllers. The navbar contains

Cucumberists (and RSpec Classic users ;): How can we convert a Cucumber feature file into HTML with syntax highlighting? Not the test-runner output; that''s preprocessed so it does not match the input file... Tx! -- Phlip

Inspired by Nick Evans'' RSpec progress bar[1], I had a little crack at implementing the progress bar for cucumber, ''cause I want to know how long a break I can take while the features are running :) It''s in my fork, in the coverage_formatter branch: http://github.com/mattwynne/cucumber/tree/master It will dump failing feature, scenario, step and the exception as

Hi all, In GOOS[1] they use an assertion called assertEventually which samples the system for a success state until a certain timeout has elapsed. This allows you to synchronise the tests with asynchronous code. Do we have an equivalent of that in the Ruby / RSpec world already? I know capybara has wait_until { } but that''s fairly rudimentary - the failure message isn''t very

Hi, I am trying to learn Cucumber. I have followed the tutorial on "http://www.ultrasaurus.com/sarahblog/2008/12/rails-2-day-3-behavior-driven-development/" Everything is working fine but my problem is it is not inserting any record in either development or test database. Can anyone tell me IS it the behaviour of the Cucumber or Am I missing something? Thanks, Tushar -- Posted via

I love the way I can throw a call to pending() in the top of an unfinished RSpec example and stop it from failing the build. Is there a similar way to do such a thing with good ole'' cucumber? cheers, Matt ---- http://blog.mattwynne.net http://songkick.com In case you wondered: The opinions expressed in this email are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of any former,

Hi all, I appreciate that this is not an RSpec question, but I wondered if anyone out there can offer some pointers. We''re using the latest versions of RSpec and RCov, and ruby --version says this (on the Ubuntu build server): ruby 1.8.6 (2008-07-17 patchlevel 279) [x86_64-linux] We''re getting intermittent (yes, intermittent!) segfaults from the build when running

Hi, My application relies on request.domain for doing its job. The problem I am encountering, is that when running tests, request.domain returns "test.host", how can I change that so that it returns "mysite.com"? Thanks in advance. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

What''s the best way to handle a requirement that shows up as a sub-requirement requirement in other features? For example let''s say users can enter dates in various forms throughout my application. There is one set of global rules specifying the formats in which dates may be entered, and how they are interpreted. I put that in one feature. In various other features, like

One of my controllers directly renders some JSON output that I would like to test with RSpec. For that I use ''response.should have_text("foobar")'' in my spec file, but that leads to a Failure/Error: response.should have_text("enim") undefined method `has_text?'' for #<ActionController::TestResponse: 0xb6736944> I read here somewhere that webrat

Going back to the debate about keeping state between steps, I found myself with the mild urge to be able to write this today: Given there is a user And the user has 20 friends Then I should see a thumbnail of each of the users''s friends Which should be a link to the user profile page for that friend NB: An idiom in this which may be songkick-only but was inspired by what

I am writing a controller admin/cities_controller.rb it inherits from AdminController, so it''s defined like class Admin::CitiesController > AdminController Whenever I save the controller file, autotest freaks out: uninitialized constant Admin::AdminController (NameError) I''m pretty used to just hitting CTRL-C to get autotest to re-load all the files, or flicking to

Since upgrading to Cucumber 0.1.99.19 I''ve noticed that the backtraces appearing in the console output are of the form: Page load was not successful (Code: 500): Followed by the dump of the rails error page. That page looks fine in a browser, and it''s helpful enough to see it when save_and_open_page does its thing, but I''m pretty used to reading plain old

I found myself having to write this today: class ArrayMatcher def initialize(array_to_match) @array_to_match = array_to_match end def ==(other) ok = true @array_to_match.each do |item| ok = ok and other.include?(item) end ok end end def array_including(array_to_match) ArrayMatcher.new(array_to_match) end Is there already something in the
