similar to: [TDD] [Rails] - Rspec test for application_helper.rb fails when trying to access application_controller method.

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

Hi all, I have defined the following method in both application.rb and application_helper.rb: def still_logged_in? !session[:user_id].nil? end This method is called in a before_filter in my application.rb, as well as in my layout/application.rhtml and view/user/login.rhtml (for showing a login / logout button, etc.) I had to put it both places, otherwise I would get an

I am trying to run some functional (or are they unit?) tests on my application_helper.rb. So far, I''ve not had any success in being able to call the methods defined in application_helper.rb. Here is my app/test/functional/helpers.rb require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../test_helper'' require File.dirname(__FILE__) +

Hi, I''m trying to send some emails with the same formatting as my pages & I can''t seem to access my display routines in application_helper.rb. I''m trying a hack to bypass this. At the top of my ActionMailer notifier script I''ve included application_helper.rb - my understanding is that this should arrive as a module and should be able to be used

I find that I want to put the same methods into both of these files. Whats the best way to get away with a single implemenation? Gareth -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I''m using the application_helper.rb file to create some useful functions for generating links by name. I understand that functions defined in this file are available to all views, but what about constants defined in that module? Is there a best practice approach for doing this other than accessing each constant via ApplicationHelper::FOO? Stu

Hello, I upgraded my Rails app from 1.0 to 1.1.2. Basically everything worked on my development box. When I uploaded the changes (including the frozen 1.1.2 gems) to my webhost most things worked. However I had a problem with my application_helper.rb file. It wasn''t able to find the url_for_image_column method from the file_column plugin. Here''s the relevant code in

It seems that helper methods defined in application_helper.rb aren''t available in ActionMailer views.

I have a simple Yes/No selection list that I am using in a number of places. Thinking that I could DRY things out a bit, I added it to application_helper.rb ... YES_NO = [ [ "Yes", true ], [ "No", false ] ].freeze So I figured I would use it there instead of in each model.rb where needed. anyway, in webrick screen, I am continually seeing this...

Hi, My helper specs were going ok until I added a call to a rails DateHelper method in one of my helpers http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/ DateHelper.html#M000574 The helper runs fine from my view templates, just dies in the spec test. I boiled my question down to a simple (not too useful) example. I''m not sure what I''m missing. #

My "application_helper.rb" become to large. I have basic functions that I use for all projects. Is it possible to define thoses functions inside an external "basic_helper.rb" and include it in "application_helper.rb" ?

Hi all, I am using rails v.2.3.2 and if I put following line to my ApplicationController: include LoginSystem and I moved my login_system.rb to lib folder: module LoginSystem protected def is_logged_in? @logged_in_user = User.find(session[:user]) if session[:user] end def logged_in_user return @logged_in_user if is_logged_in? end def logged_in_user=(user) if

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

Hi guys, I am a Rspec newbie and am having problems creating a spec for a RoR helper method. I have in fact already implemented the helper method and am trying to create retrospective specs. I know its the wrong way to do it but I am still learning Rspec. In my view I have a call to a helper method. <% body_class "users" %> which sets a CSS class declaration in the content_for

I just switched our project over to Edge Rails, and I''m running into this problem with all of my helper methods that call _url methods: NoMethodError in ''ApplicationHelper home_link should generate a valid home link when User.current and Profile.current is not set'' You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! You might have expected an instance of

My Rails site has a fair amount of login and ''ownership'' logic. For instance, we have a number of clients (companies), each of which has several accounts. A client owns a number of different types of resources, and shouldn''t see any other clients'' resources, so, for example, our ScenesController contains a lot of references to

I like the idea of "instant functionality" Engines can offer, but practical implementation issues make adding and removing more tedious than it should be. The process typically requires: - manual modifications to environment.rb ( e.g., adding engine configuration and "Engine.start :myengine" - manual modification to app/controllers/application_controller.rb This should be

I didn't know if it would work or not, but I figured I'd try slow-speed half-duplex TDD over GSM & Vonage. I called a AGI script I have that speaks to TTYs, by calling from Vonage to one of my Voicepulse lines. I don't control the Vonage codec, so I have no idea what it uses, but I am using GSM for the Voicepulse line. Everything worked fine - echo canceling didn't cause any
