My autotest runs but when I make changes to a spec it doesn''t reload. I checked another application I was building that had 1.0.9 but it was reloading fine. How would I debug a problem such as autotest not reloading? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have looked through the docs, looked at the code, even gave a cursory (2 page) glance at google, and it is not clear to me what SpecServer is or what it is for. Is it meant to speed up the execution of specs in a rails environment by doing some magic on the database? Or I am thinking it keeps a copy of Rails running to avoid the rails reload delay... Is there any documentation on this so I

Is this the appropriate place to talk about spec_distributed? If not, I''ll post the spec-ext (seemingly dead) mailing list on rubyforge... I was able to run a non-rails project with Spec::Distributed::RindaSlaveRunner (and RindaMasterRunner). But I''m stumped on how to do it with a rails project, when I have rspec trunk installed. I continue to get wrong error

Is anyone using rspec with autotest? Scott

Test First Development is great...But should you use it when you are adding classes/methods on to external library that doesn''t have an extensive test suite? I noticed that the rspec plugin for autotest has no specs. David Chemlinsky said something to the list a while back that has been stewing in my subconscious - that you develop software differently using Test First

I believe for rails projects you can put rspec''s code repos into vendor/plugins, and autotest will automatically use the rspec binary in that directory, and not the gem installed. Is there an easy way to do this for non-rails projects? There are a few advancements on trunk which I would like to take advantage of. Tips welcome ; ). Scott Taylor

If I got this to work, do you think we could/should check in rspec_autotest into rspec? I''ve updated rspec_autotest abit, so let me know if you''d like the modified code. Scott

How can I spec out a rake task? How can I use rake in my spec''s? I want to fix this rake spec:autotest bug with --drb and --color. How can I get rake output? How would I get out of autotest? My initial thought is just to run the command in the spec. Scott

Josh Knowles http://joshknowles.com/ just let me know that ZenTest Autotest 3.50 now handles your RSpec specs. http://blog.zenspider.com/archives/2007/04/zentest_version_350_has_been_released.html That''s a great news. Josh also shared with me a quick hack to make autotest work with only the RSpec plugin installed. Add the following into your ~/.autotest file

I have the following code, which yields instance eval''s the block given: class Foo def bar(&blk) instance_eval &blk end def baz yield end end The effect of this is that self is reassigned: Foo.new.bar do # here, self is the instance of Foo # created by new end But normally self is the object in which Foo.new.bar {...} occurs. Foo.new.baz do

Am I correct in remembering that autotest (with Test::Unit) would rerun all the tests if a subset of the tests passed? If so, shouldn''t this behaviour also be present in rspec''s autotest library? Scott

Has the should_... syntax changed? I''m getting errors when running the following: should_render(:index) should_be_valid should_not_be_valid should_respond_to should_be should_render I thought the syntax changed to something like the following: obj.should render(:index) but this doesn''t seem to work. Scott

hi all I''m trying to use spec_server to run my specs in rails, but the specs don''t seem to be running any faster, and it looks like they''re being run twice when I use the --drb option ..? The app I''m testing is just a basic rails app with 2 empty models and a hello world controller. The specs are just the default ones created by the generators. I was

Out of curiosity, I''ve seen the following fail: module Admin describe MyController ... end end But this works fine: describe Admin::MyController .. end Why? Scott

I''m having a rollback problem with rspec trunk. It doesn''t seem like rollbacks are happening quite as often as they should be. It appears as though the rollbacks are *NOT* occurring on the first description block in a file, but are for the rest. Here is a set of specs that are failing: require File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../spec_helper" describe

Okay - so the sqlite bug reported a day or so ago on the list is real bug. I''m going to file something in the tracker for that... I also learned that before(:all)...after(:all) is not wrapped in a transaction, the way before(:each)...after(:each) is. Is there some reason behind this? Can you not wrap transactions inside transactions? Scott

What is the appropriate way to stub out (and put an expectation on Object#__send__), without getting warnings from the Rspec mock library? Scott

Is there any reason why a stub couldn''t both yield and return? I''m looking for a way to mock out a class I''ve made named "AnonymousClass": class AnonymousClass def initialize(&blk) @klass = Class.new @klass.instance_eval(&blk) if block_given? end def new @klass.new end def evaluate(&blk)

What is the difference between these two ways of mocking (with and without the string): mock(''Object'') and mock(Object) ? Scott

I want to create a spec/regressions directory with various regressions (for my rails project). I tried the following: describe LoginController, "regression for user creation when steves_sister does not exist", :behavior_type => :controller do controller_name :login before :each do @params = { "commit"=>"Create Account",
