Hi Just something that I have been finding very helpful sometimes when I am stuck with "how could I test this?" moments is looking at the Rails test suite. At the moment I am working on testing our custom error_messages_for methods and I have found looking at how the Rails tests in active_record_helper work helpful :-) So just thought I''d share that. Have

Hi, I would like to test a sorting method that is in the user model, it''s a class method called search. What I would like to do is create 2 users and load the test database with just those 2 users, so that I can call User.search("john") and it would return those two users. Not sure how to clear the test database and populate it just with these 2 users for that specific

Hey, we''re currently using shoulda (http://dev.thoughtbot.com/ shoulda/) on a project and I saw some things that would be really nice to see in rspec, namely the should_ methods, and especially the should_be_restful method. Do these go against the rspec goals at all? Or could an ambitious programmer go to town implementing these for rspec_on_rails? Nathan Sutton fowlduck at

I tried checking it out today using instructions here: http://rspec.rubyforge.org/tools/extensions/editors/textmate.html I get a ''svn: Connection closed unexpectedly''. Did it move or is it down?

Is it possible to access the described class in a shared behavior? I''m trying to do something like this: describe "Siberian feline", :shared => true do described_class_instance_as :feline, :name => "fluffy", :breed => "Siberian" # or maybe before(:all) do @feline = described_class.new(:name => "fluffy", :breed =>

I''m writing a plain text story (testing the waters) and I have scenarios that I need to chain in my specs. Here is what I have so far: Story: User purchasing tshirts As a user I want to checkout So that I can purchase shirts Scenario: User goes to checkout with nothing in cart Given a user And user has an empty cart When user goes to checkout Then user

When I work with a .html.erb file, the autotest rspec on rails stuff doesn''t understand the file to map it to the right test. I wanted to submit a patch for this, but I''m unsure where the specs would be to update. I found the necessary mapping in rspec_autotest.rb, but I can''t find any specs anywhere. Help? I just need to have /app/views/coupon/index.html.erb to map to

Hello, I''m confused why the spec described below is failing. Other simple comparison specs are passing fine for the same model. The code is working accordingly when I test it through the console, I''m just having difficulty getting this spec to work. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Hi all, As an experiment in playing nice with others, we''ve added the ability in rspec''s trunk to do this: class ThingExamples < Spec::ExampleGroup def should_do_stuff ... end end This is how rspec 0.1 worked, and for people already comfortable with the classes/methods approach of Test::Unit, it is a more comfortable entry point to rspec. For others, however, it

Is it OK to go ahead and generate a Rails 2.0 project with RSpec 1.0.8? Am I likely to run into problems? Would it be best advised to wait or can I go ahead now?

How would I go about writing specs for a lib, particularly one with all protected and private methods. I''m trying to spec the AuthenticatedSystem library from the rails restful_authentication plugin: http://pastie.caboo.se/103625 Also, when you''re mocking objects, a side-effect is helping you define the api of the object. Is there a way to get all the behaviors that

Hey guys, just poppin in to ask if anyone knows when stories will be somewhat stable? We''re starting to use integration tests at work, we''re already using rspec, and I''d like to avoid integration tests if possible. Thanks, Nate "fowlduck" Sutton

I was disgruntled with the amount of spam I was getting, so I started setting up accounts for the various mailing lists I listen to. I use rspec at showcase60.com to read the mail here. Along with the rspec news that comes over this channel, I''m getting more and more spam addressed to this same account, which means that the open way this list passes around email addresses is

When do these files, along with lib/spec and lib/spec_server get created? I tried to create a quick test project and can''t remember how they were created in a previous project. Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m now using the 0.8.0 RC1 gem and have the same version of rspec and rspec_on_rails checked out into my vendor/plugins directory. I''m having a problems with controllers... I''ve generated a controller using the ./script/generate rspec_controller MyController. When I try to run the rake spec:controller task I get the following: euclid% rake spec:controllers (in

I am having inconsistent output with multiple options in the spec.opts file. I can, for instance, pass --color or --colour, or, separately, use --drb. But when combining them I get: /opt/local/lib/ruby/1.8/optparse.rb:1381:in `complete'': invalid option: --options --color --drb (OptionParser::InvalidOption) from /opt/local/lib/ruby/1.8/optparse.rb:1379:in `catch''

It looks to me that hpricot is a dependency to building rspec: euclid% rake pre_commit (in /Users/smtlaissezfaire/ruby/projects/rspec/hpricot) rake aborted! Could not find RubyGem hpricot (>= 0.0.0) /Users/smtlaissezfaire/ruby/projects/rspec/hpricot/rakefile:9 (See full trace by running task with --trace) Let me know if I''m wrong. Otherwise, I''ll submit a patch in the docs.
