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 there I have a weird situation. I have inherited a project in Rails 1.2.3 that has been upgraded to Rails 2.3.14 (and is running). I have installed Cucumber and Rspec to start to write features/tests for the new code that needs to be written. In my Gemfile, these Gems are loaded: group :test do gem ''rspec-rails'', ''~> 1.3.4'', :require =>

Hi, Is it possible to make a rake task to run examples with a certain filter on? In this case I want to run rake spec:focused and run only the examples with :focus => true. - Toni

Hi folks How would you spec something like this: as_user username do FileUtils.chmod_R 0755, "#{directory}/*" end Where as_user fires off a new process (and set uid to username). It seems that this won''t catch FileUtils.chmod_R: FileUtils.should_receive(:chmod_R).with(0755, "#{@domain.directory}/*") I guess that is because it is passed in the block

Hello, Anyone working in QA Test Automation with RSpec wouldn?t mind posting their testing framework or know where I can go to get more info on testing frameworks either with RSpec or Cucumber? I greatly appreciate. Thank you.

Do you often find yourself doing this: active = double(''active'') active.should_receive(:first) users = double(''users'', active: active) account.should_receive(:users).and_return(users) for this: account.users.active.first ? Of course, we could use stub_chain, but that doesn''t let us know *where* the chain broke. Would you like to do this?

Hey guys After hours of hard work I finally managed to set up my development environment to run cucumber scenarios using autotest and selenium. What''s a bit bugging is the fact that Firefox always jumps to the foreground when Autotest does its job. How can I keep Firefox in the background so that I can continue with my work without being interrupted? Thanks! -- Posted via

Hi, I was writing an integration test for my user signup form (with capybara), and found that my test was failing due to a validation error: "email is already taken". I''m a bit confused because I thought when I run "rspec spec/some_spec.rb", the test database would be wiped clear? Is that not the case? Patrick J. Collins http://collinatorstudios.com

Hello, Is there any way to test model inheritance in spec? something like.. it { ChildModel.should < ParentModel } thanks.

I would like to turn this: describe TestClass do before :all do # set some config end after :all do # restore some config end # do a bunch of tests to this end into describe TestClass do with_config_value(X) # do a bunch of tests to this end Basically, I want to include before :all and after :all clauses into a test. However, I do not want this to apply toa ll tests. Thanks in advance.

>From looking at the RSpec Rails documentation (https://www.relishapp.com/rspec/rspec-rails/docs/view-specs/view-spec) it seems like rendered is just a string and you can''t really do any assert_select type stuff out of the box. After Googling around, it seems that the RSpec authors decided that if you want that functionality, you should just use Capybara or some such... is that

Hello, I''m playing around with Rspec again after going from test/unit to rspec then back to test/unit... :) Right off the bat, I find myself wanting to do something like this: https://gist.github.com/1128091 Basically, I want to name a context, then call it later by name, passing a block to it. Or in other words... what is the best way to DRY this code?

I have a step definition like this: Then "the account should be created" do account = Account.find_by_name("my shiny new account") p account.class account.should_not be_blank end When running this step, I got the error message: Account(id: integer, name: string, state: string, next_renewal_at: date, created_at: datetime, updated_at: datetime, full_domain: string,

I am using Cucumber 0.2.3 and am having problems running a single feature. In particular, the cucumber Textmate bundle was not working so I traced it back and discovered that I could not run single files or features from the command line either. My setup has the following line in cucumber.yml default: -r features/support/env.rb -r features/support/plain.rb -r features/steps

I''m just starting on BDD. I installed the gems for webrats and cucumber. I also ran the following in the Ruby shell: >rake gems:install RAILS_EN=test >script/generate cucumber These commands seemed to create the expected features and lib folders in my project. I''m using the eclipse framework with Aptana and RadRails as my IDE. However, when I run: >cucumber features

Hi! I''m using cucumber + selenium and I love it. However I''m looking to add some methods (example: click_and_wait etc) to the lib. Therefore looked around a bit and I got two questions: Firstly about rspec-ui, I''m a little confused, does rspec-ui overlap with its propose with webrat with cucumber or I''m missing a point? Secondly, are there any plans to

I''ve just upgraded RSpec to 1.2 on a Rails 2.2.2 app. rake features fails with the following error: /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/active_support/ dependencies.rb:442:in `load_missing_constant'': uninitialized constant Spec::Ruby (NameError) from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:77:in

Can anybody tell me how to pass a variable from the rake command to my steps file using cucumber? I have the following in my Rakefile: ## Rakefile Cucumber::Rake::Task.new do |t| profile = ENV[''PROFILE''] || ''default'' browser_type = ENV[''BROWSER''] || ''*chrome'' t.cucumber_opts = "--profile #{profile}" end I

Hello, I have a controller action that raises a RecordNotFound exception if you''re not allowed to see something. In my global application controller (application.rb), I catch these and render the 404 template. But when I run cucumber (using webrat), it''s getting the full stacktrace (the step blows up). Any ideas why? I have consider_all_requests_local turned off in my test.rb.
