similar to: How to test helpers in a Sinatra app?

Hi. I have a simple application and I want to add a file upload functionality. How can I write a spec? Here''s my try. # directory structure app: - controller.rb - controller.spec.rb - files: [] - fixtures: [test_file.png] # controller.spec.rb require ''rack/test'' require ''controller'' module MyHelpers def app Sinatra::Application end end

Hi all, I''m in the process of creating rspecs for my helpers. One of the helpers in app/helpers/application_helper.rb looks like this: def page_name @page_name || "Define @page_name in #{controller.controller_name}::#{controller.action_name}" end The rspec is simply: it "should something" do page_name end

In a method named logo in my application helper, I reference an application controller method (current_account) that has been marked as a helper method with the following syntax: helper_method :current_account When I test out the setup in the browser (without rspec), rails is happy with this setup. However, when I run the spec, the spec won''t pass and gives me the following error:

I am getting the error when I run the command: rake spec This is a new project with not current test written besides the ones auto-created for me. +++++++++ $ rake spec (in /Users/chrisolsen/Projects/Rails/chrisolsen/trunk) /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:266:in `load_missing_constant'': uninitialized constant ProjectsHelper

I would like to remove some unused helpers from the app/helpers dir, but when I do so my specs fail. Why is this? I don''t see where those helpers are referenced within the tests. Is there a way to delete these unused files? Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello all, Long time reader, first time poster! I am a relative newcomer (no idea what on earth I am doing) to Ruby, Rails and Rspec and have a feeling I am probably trying to run before I know how to walk. I had imagined a cool way of outputting a div around some form stuff which would have a class on it if the related field had errors, something a bit like: <%

Thought I''d post this under its own heading so others can find it. Thanks to David for the pointers to solve this. Here is the incantation needed to use HAML 2.0 under RSpec 1.1.5 (Needs the .5 for a fix) # application_helper_spec.rb under spec/helpers ... before :each do helper.extend Haml helper.extend Haml::Helpers helper.send :init_haml_helpers end it

I am a new to ruby and rails and am trying to refactor some code with rspec and have run into a problem that has stumped me for a few days and I have searched google and ruby/rails forums to no avail so I really hope somebody can help me out with this problem which I think may be caused by a rails config problem. Anyway, I used ''rails new myapp'' to make a new rails project and

I''m already successfully testing before_filters in application_controller courtesy of this blog post: http://www.movesonrails.com/articles/2008/01/23/spec-ing-your-application-controller However, i can;''t work out how to test the sort of method that is added to application_controller so that all controllers can use it. It must be something simple that i''m doing

Hi, Just trying to spec out my helpers and so far its been working well enough. I now have a helper as follows FooHelper def a b end def b end end But for some reason, probably something really simple, I cant work out how to spec that a calls b. Ive looked at all the variables that get set up and tried playing with them, but no luck. Maybe someone can shed some light on this

Is there an easy way to spec that a controller should include helpers other than its own? I was thinking I could just spec responds_to for methods I''m interested in in the view, but that seems like crossing a separation boundary, that the controller maybe doesn''t need to know about? Thanks, Steve

https://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php? func=detail&aid=6713&group_id=797&atid=3150 I''m not sure if this is true of all helper methods but it is for the following. In this case the forn_remote_tag is rendered as an empty line. Apprently helpers are not rendered in view tests... template _xyz: <div> <% form_remote_tag :update => "some_div", :url

Hi, there, I have some methods which I have written as helpers. They are in spec/support/controller_macros.rb (yes, I will change the name soon). The 2 methods, login_user and login_admin_user works in the controller specs BUT fail to work in the view specs when I call them in the view specs. ---------- spec/spec_helper.rb start -------------------------- # This file is copied to spec/

Hi all, I am mocking the following Rails view (inside a partial): <%= render :partial => "forums/forum", :collection => forum_category.forums.readable_by(current_user? ? current_user : nil) %> My spec fails with the following message: 1) ActionView::TemplateError in ''forum_categories/index (anonymous user) should only render forums accessible to anonymous

Hi all, Anyone using UJS with RSpec? I have the following view spec: ---- edit_spec.rb context "accounts/edit" do fixtures :users setup do assigns[:user] = users(:consumer) end specify "should display the user info to edit" do render ''/accounts/edit'' end end ---- end that causes this exception: ---- exception ActionView::TemplateError

Is there a standard location for spec helpers (as in bits of code that help write specs)? I''m mocking/stubing-out portions of ActiveSalesforce, a remote-database abstraction layer so my specs won''t have to rely on a remote connection, but I''m not sure where I should be putting this helper lib. I was thinking of just sticking it in spec/ but I was curious if

Hi everyone, I am relatively new to rspec and I am running into a wall in testing my views. I have a RESTful resource Contracts with a nested resource of Line_items. I am trying to figure out how to test the "edit" form of the Line_items. What complicates this is the nested routing and how to account for it, and that there is a partial form (_form.haml) that both the edit.haml and

Hello. I install gems rspec and rspec_on_rails I have this Error when try to run Rspec tests on my RoR application: /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.0.2/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:263:in `load_missing_constant'': uninitialized constant ActionView::Helpers::JavaScriptMacrosHelper (NameError) And I follow recipes wich are placed in

The helper spec I am writing tests a helper method that calls render. ## module HelperHelper def render_partial render :partial => ''partial'' end end ## The helper spec. ## describe HelperHelper do it "should render partial" do render_partial.should_not == nil end end ## The output generated ## $ spec spec/helpers/home_helper_spec.rb .F 1)

I asked this questions on some other places before, but have found no solution yet. I''d like to include the request helper (from ActionDispatch::Integration::RequestHelpers, like post and xhr methods) also in some specs outside of my controller specs. The problem is that these request helpers are only included in spec/ controller and when a controller is described. What do I have to
