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

Greetings! Here''s the problem. When running tests on the restful_authentication plugin, I am getting a routing error on "/".

I''m currently running rails 1.2.6 and I''ve got the new restful_authentication running, unfortunately, the new version of the plugin does not support the older rails very well. how can I get an older version of restful_authentication (pre rails 2.0.2)?

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

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.

Hi folks. So I''m using mocha on a ruby project, and I really like it. One thing I''ve noticed is that it can be a bit "surprising" when I''m mocking methods that don''t exist on an object, and I think there''s an easyish fix. At the moment, you use sheep = mock() to create a mock sheep. What I''d like to do is something like sheep =

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.

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

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.

Hi I am trying to use facebooker with an existing website that already has a model named ''User''. I therefore created a model called BkUser for use with facebooker.
