My problem: Mock ''Task_1005'' received unexpected message :user_id= with (1) No matter what I do to try to stub that out it will still fail out and give me that message. Here is my spec describe TasksController, "handling POST /tasks" do before(:each) do @task = mock_model(Task, :to_param => "1", :save => true)

What is the correct way to mock out the errors on a Rails model? I''m assuming i need to say @mock_thing = mock_model(Thing) @mock_thing_errors = mock("errors") @mock_thing_errors.should_receive(:full_messages).and_return("An error") @mock_thing.should_receive(:errors).and_return(@mock_thing_errors) Just wanted to check the best practice on this kind of thing and how

Hello forum I have there to files #----- virtual_host_controller.rb class VirtualHostsController < ApplicationController before_filter :capture_domain # GET /domain/1/virtual_hosts/1 def show @virtual_host = @domain.virtual_hosts.find(params[:id]) respond_to do |format| format.html # show.rhtml end end private def capture_domain if

I''m having a terrible time trying to test a nested route with rSpec. I can''t seem to tell rSpec to expect the call @item.user. The following error message plagues me not matter how I try to fuss with the mock: Spec::Mocks::MockExpectationError in ''ItemsController handling POST / items should redirect to the new course on successful save'' Mock

I''m trying to spec out a render partial collection but I get the following error 2) NoMethodError in ''/games/_game.rhtml should show game name'' undefined method `body'' for #<#<Class:0x316580c>:0x2f1154c> /Volumes/EXTERNAL/web/omenking.ca/vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails/lib/spec/rails/matchers/have_text.rb:12:in `matches?''

One thing that is bothering me about my controller specs is that sometimes I end up with a number of examples that are the same except for the example name. The reason that this happens is that I''ve expressed all the expected behavior with should_receive. While this does more or less work as intended it doesn''t feel right. As an example, let''s say I''m writing

My app uses account_location to set up subdomains as account keys. In my controllers, all my model operations are scoped through the @current_person object. The question is: How do I test this with RSpec''s mocking and stubbing? Basically, I need to test that @current_person.things is getting the find message and returning @thing. I''ve tried stubbing and mocking

Hey, Sorry for so many questions - I''m really bad at this right now. I''m trying to cover the following code w/ rspec def index if params[:user_id] @user = User.find(params[:user_id]) @messages = @user.messages end end So basically what I''m doing is listing all the messages for a user, provided there is an id parameter. describe

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

I am setting up an AR mock object and wanted to sanity check it. My intent is to mix this into all my examples and then override/add methods where necessary. Note that I''ve anticipated three cases for find: find with one numeric argument => object find with :all => Array find with anything else => nil This roughly approximates how ActiveRecord::find works in this case

I am a little confused to the what happens with the following: before do @site = mock_model(Site, :to_param => "1") Site.stub!(:new).and_return(@site) end def post_with_successful_save @site.should_receive(:save).and_return(true) post :create, :site => {} end I understand that the "@site.should_receive(:save)..." places a check to whether the

I want to isolate and spec methods that are shared by controllers, and live in application.rb. Whereas I usually also provide examples in individual controllers that use these methods, not necessarily all the edge cases and I''d like to isolate the examples. This is the approach I''m taking (thanks to bryanl for suggestions and http://pastie.caboo.se/123626). WDYT? This

I am not sure why the tests don''t see the call of the new method for the Address class. It can be seen in the controller method where the Address.new is called. >> @address = Address.new(params[:address]) What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the help. Here is the error message: Spec::Mocks::MockExpectationError in ''UsersController handling POST /users should create a new

Hello, Ingo! I''m copying your question to a new e-mail instead of replying to try to keep message threads separate. Have you tried setting up your expectation before issuing the get statement? For example, take this out of the setup block: get ''index'', :locale => ''en'' and move it after:

I''m trying to jump on the TDD/BDD bandwagon, but am having trouble understanding how i should mock my user. The user has a habtm relationship to a roles model (acl_system2 plugin), but I''m not sure how to tell rspec about a model. My code: describe UsersController do integrate_views before(:each) do @user = mock_model(User)

I want to use mocks and stubs to test the controller, but am having trouble getting my validation not to trigger. Here''s the code: # spec: Image.stub!(:find).and_return(@image) @image.should_receive(:save!).once.with(:any_args) put :update, :id => @image.id, :category_id => @category.id, :image => {:name => ''test'', :image_number =>

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

I''ve been off the rspec for a few months and I''m trying to get back on it. 1) Spec::Mocks::MockExpectationError in ''TicketsController handling POST /tickets should create a new ticket'' Mock ''Ticket_1001'' expected :new with ({}) once, but received it 0 times ./spec/controllers/tickets_controller_spec.rb:16: script/spec:4: class

Hi folks, I''m in the process of converting a Test::Unit functional test to RSpec, but I''ve run into a slight problem. I tried looking through the documentation but I still don''t know what I missed. Thanks in advance, Blake describe VenuesController, "on update" do before(:each) do @venue = mock("venue")

I''m using restful_authentication in my app and I have the before filters in my application rhtml: before_filter :login_required around_filter :set_timezone around_filter :catch_errors Currently I have them commented out while rspec''in but I''ll need to add them in my specs. def create @ticket = Ticket.new(params[:ticket]) @ticket.user = current_user if
