Hi! I know you must be answering a lot of basic questions, sorry about that :-) However I have not get it, how do you keep mocks updated without pain?

Hi! Can anybody link to some ror based project what is using rspec, so nuby as me can learn from it. So it should have updated and practising advanced rspec.

I was reading the documentation on using rails with rspec and I didn''t see anything about how to spec libraries in the rails /lib directory so that they''re integrated into the whole spec::rails system. Where should I put specs for my libraries, and what''s the best way to require the files that I''m testing in my spec? I''ve never used rspec before, and

Here is an example from autotest: class Autotest def self.run new.run end def new ... end def run ... end ... end How would I spec out Autotest.run? Two complications come to my mind: 1.

Hello all, I''m currently having an issue with some specs, specifically scope issues (probably more of a scope issue than a spec issue at this point)...

How do you go about implementing and rspecing subdomains as account keys? I''m sure that this must be an issues for others as well. So I have an app using subdomains as account keys. The Application Controller sets up @current_company in a before filter. Everything is done within the context of the @current_company. After reading about Demeter''s Revenge

I am writing a small ruby script that will be accepting input from postfix''s pipe command (ie, not running via the shell, directly executing). One of the things I need to do it spec the exit codes to make sure I am returing the correct exit codes for each condition as Postfix will then return SMTP errors as appropriate. I have two files that concern this bit of the program, init.rb and

OK, so i''ve played a bit with mocks and mock_models in controller and view tests and i have a question.

Folks, I''d like to spec the behaviors that I''m adding to ApplicationController. Specifically, I''m adding: def authenticated? session[:username] != nil end I described ApplicationController, but couldn''t figure out how to call the authenticated method. I''m probably going about this quite wrongly and would appreciate any hints? Thanks, Scott --

So how do you work with cookies properly in rspec now? I noticed in the docs that it mentions session, assigns, and flash, but nothing of cookie. I''m using edge rails so I''m concerned about changes to the cookie mechanisms.

Hello - I''m currently trying to write some specs for my rails views. My views depend upon the restful authentication plugin method logged_in?
