similar to: Testing layouts with RSpec on Rails

Hi, rather than flooding this list with separate emails, I''ve been queueing up questions using rspec with rails. (an irc channel would be nice too :) Here ya go... - Is there a way to test named routes? - Could I get an example how to test an ajax request (link_to_remote)? would that go in view? and/or in controller spec? - Can you assert which layout template is rendered in a

Hi Google has not helped me here. I''m looking for a way to use the have_tag assert_select wrapper outside RSpec on Rails (but in a Rails project) so I can use it to check text strings. Has anyone managed this? Thanks Ashley -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi there, I''ve been working with RSpec for about a week now, and the process of moving from a Test::Unit + Mocha setup to an RSpec + Mocha environment has been pretty straightforward. Except, I''m having problems with using template.expect_render. I have Mocha enabled with: > config.mock_with :mocha in spec_helper. And then I have a view spec which looks like this:

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

Hey, I''ve just started using rspec-rails 1.2 and the bypass rescue declaration is wonderful - by default I tend to write controller which raise exceptions (in exceptional circumstances), along with before- filters as guard clauses, so being able to switch off rescue from (which I properly spec separately) is a real boon. Such a boon, in fact, that I immediately shoved it into a

This is interesting. The default rspec rake tasks generated by Hoe give you an rspec.rake file that looks like: > begin > require ''spec'' > rescue LoadError > require ''rubygems'' > require ''spec'' > end > So far so good. When you invoke rake to do something, say check_manifest > rake check_manifest > You

I am using helper the RESTfully generated helper methods in my views. My routes are nested so the helpers appear to need arguments passed to them, but it works without arguments. Say for example I have pages and comments. If I do page_comments_path without parameters, it works. However, when I run the rspec test, it fails and tells me i''m missing parameters. I tried to pass

Hi, I''m trying to write my first custom matcher. Here''s a bit of my example group. describe "/contact/index" do include FormMatchers before(:each) do render ''contact/index'' end it "should show the contact form" do response.should have_a_contact_form end describe "the contact form" do context

The floating-point expectations allow for an error tolerance. Is there any similar facility for dates? For example, say I have a custom class that handles date/time spans and I want to spec it: context "A DateRange span" do specify "should know when a week ago is :)" do d = DateRange.new d.last_week.should_be_close_to(1.week.ago, 24*60*60) end end The idea

Hi all, For those of you checking out the Rails 2.0 preview release: RSpec-1.0.8 does not support Rails 2.0. Unfortunately, we''re in the middle of some big changes to the internals in trunk and won''t be in a position to do a release for another week or so. Therefore, if you are using the Rails 2.0 preview, you''ll need to use the RSpec trunk. Additionally, right now

[Rails plugin 1.0.5] Hi, I am looking for some guidance. When working on a partial which looks like this <div class="bug" style="width: 100%;" /> I have some examples which should fail - I think - but do not: it '' should fail'' do response.should have_tag( ''div.bug'', :content => ''There is no

I am getting the error when I run the command: rake spec This is a new project with not current test written besides the ones auto-created for me. +++++++++ $ rake spec (in /Users/chrisolsen/Projects/Rails/chrisolsen/trunk) /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:266:in `load_missing_constant'': uninitialized constant ProjectsHelper

Hello everyone: I am kind of puzzled in writing spec on view partials. I can not find much information about the "should have_tag" syntax in Rspec. Can rspec test a particular attribute of a tag (e.g. input tag)? Let me put an example here: #../view/group/_index <div id="test"> <input type="button" value="update" onclick="update()"

Hello, Is there any way to test controllers using cucumber. I was doing it with rspec but since cucumber''s description is good how can i proceed testing it with cucumber? For e.g. I have a scenario of user creation like Feature: User Scenarios Scenario: Successfull creation of user Given a new user When the user fill all the mandatory details Then that user should get

Hi, Is there a way to use the have_tag matcher on a string instead of the response body from a view? I have a helper in a method rails project that returns an html fragment which I would like to test. Like this: module SomeHelper def some_helper_method "<p>foo</p>" end end context "The SomeHelper" helper_name :some specify do

When writing view specs is there any way to test not only for the presence of tags (have_tag) and nested tags (with_tag), but also test that they appear in a given order? For example, consider the following: it ''should display the login names, display names and email address in alternating rows'' do response.should have_tag(''div.odd>div'') do

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 folks, I''m trying out this idea of "outside-in" and writing specs for my views first. Being a person who generally starts with some scribbles of a user interface and moves right to models, this has yet to be fun, but I''m giving it a shot. My question: I''m trying to specify that an index page should show a list of things, each with a link to a delete

I''m having trouble getting the specs to run for a plugin where I want to fix a bug. (I''ve actually already found and fixed the bug, but I don''t want to submit a fix without a test!) When I started the specs weren''t running, but it may be that I''m using Rails 2.3.3 and the plugin has been tested on 2.1 and earlier. I went through writing a spec for a
