Hi We are looking at moving a project over from 1.05 to 1.08 but have a problem with some of our helper specs They work fine in 1.05 but error in 1.08 and it is the calls to route helper methods that seems to be the problem. I did some playing around .. because the code being tested is reasonably large etc ... but this sample (using the peepcode app) seems to boil down the problem

Thanks, first, to everyone who''s asked and answered questions on this list, and to the creators of RSpec - it is all very helpful. I''ve searched the mailing list, and had a couple 2hr googling sessions that didn''t help me find an answer. I''ve run into a problem getting my first non-trivial view spec to run. I get an error when trying to generate a link_to()

Hi everyone. I can''t get the above(subject line) combination to work. If I use a standard sqlite3 file db for the test db, and spec_server all the specs on my models pass. If I use an in-memory db for the test db, script/spec w/o spec_server, they all pass. But if I use in-memory and spec_server I get the following error: 1) ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in ''User should be

I installed Rspec and am getting the following failure: $ sudo gem install rspec Successfully installed rspec-1.0.8 Installing ri documentation for rspec-1.0.8...

Hi all, I had some specs that were using fixture_file_upload that were passing just fine. Then I froze edge rails to get some 2.0 functionality, then a I upgraded to trunk rspec to deal with uninitialized constant ActionView::Helpers::JavaScriptMacrosHelper After a couple other of tribulations, I have now gotten down to just a couple of not passing specs, all using the fixture_file_upload.

A couple days ago I submitted a patch, that was committed by Ezra, to the MrBlog project for the Rspec on Merb plugin. So far, it only works with ActiveRecord including fixtures. Has any played with it? If so, did you get it to work? I''m going to be submitting a patch for Controller specs soon. It will be very bare bones, given my current lack of understanding of Merb controller

Hi Was just using have_tag on an xml response and found the problem outlined and resolved here http://weblog.jamisbuck.org/2007/1/4/assert_xml_select Just wondered if there is any support in rspec?

Hi, I''ve just started to try and spec my application.html.erb layout as one of the view specs but it totally barfs. I''m guessing that it''s due to the yield statements in the layout. Any clues as to how to proceed? Cheers Daniel -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

All, I''m using InstantRails 1.0 on Windows XP and all my functional (controller) tests fail with ActionController::RoutingError, although the actions work OK through a web server/browser. Here''s an example of an error: 1) Error: test_create(AdminControllerTest): ActionController::RoutingError: No url can be generated for the hash {:controlle r=>"admin",

Hi there, I installed the rspec on rails plugin for a new project today and guess what -- it blows up! All by other rspec on rails projects are working fine. I updated all gems & still no joy. Any ideas how I can troubleshoot this one ? Here''s my setup: - ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [powerpc-darwin8.7.0] - Rails 1.2.5 Installed with svn: ruby script/plugin install

False Positives I just discovered how easy it was to create a false positive when I, trying my first RSpec test, did this: ob.should eql?(''foo'') instead of: ob.should eql(''foo'') or: ob.should == ''foo'' As far as I can see, this is roughly equivalent to: ob.should false Neither eql?(''foo'') nor false causes the spec

I was planning on using a fixture within a description that didn''t modify the fixture, so I put it in a before(:all) block: describe "Customer", "xml" do fixtures :customers before(:all) do one = customers(:one) end # ... As a result, I got this message: 1) NoMethodError in ''Customer xml before(:all)'' You have a nil object when you

Having used JUnit and Test::Unit, I''m quite used to having the ability to insert a failure message, which helps when tests fail. For instance, the example RSpec that is generated for a model class specifies that the model class is valid. Assuming this were supposed to be true, and it failed, I''ve now got to duplicate the code in the test in order to find out why it

Hi! I wonder does anybody planning to go beyond the default html formatter/report? The current html report is nice and green but what about to go a little silly and enable also user input. For example to let customer to add a new pending spec, comments etc. I feel it might be mentally easier for some customers to jump into spec world when it is possible to give input at "the same

When I''ve got a view example like this: 1: response.should have_tag "fieldset#children" do 2: with_tag "child" 3: end If it can''t find ''child'', the error seems to come back as my_spec.rb:1 instead of my_spec.rb:2. Has anyone else experienced this? I just spent a while tracking down what I assumed was a problem in my have_tag only to

So, having gotten a story (i.e. Story Runner) working (runs in NetBeans and using ''ruby path/to/story.rb''), I''m looking to see how I''d integrate that with our build. Am I right in assuming that there''s no Rake integration yet, or a report? I couldn''t see any. As far as I can see, "rake spec" doesn''t run or report on my

I''m trying to write specs for a plugin I''m developing named audit_fu, and I''m running into a problem which I can''t get past it. I''ve got the same specs setup in the main rails app, and everything works fine there, it''s just running the plugin specs that I''m having a problem with. My setup is: - edge rails - edge rspec (in

Folks, I saw David''s tutorial yesterday at RailsConf and started working on RSpec lastnight and am having a *ton* of trouble with the bundle for TextMate. I''ve made *some* progress, but thought I''d throw it to the list * I run ruby, including rb-rubygems using the MacPorts install (per JDD''s Sandboxing Rails) * installed rspec 0.9.4 (also rcov 0.8.0.2 and

Hi, Does the Story Runner work on edge rails? I thought that is what the example app was using but I am on the latest Rails and latest rSpec revisions and I am having problems. When I call ''render_template'' in a story I get the following: NoMethodError: undefined method `render_template'' for #<ActionController::Integration::Session:0x327d974> Do I need to
