The Rails ApplicationController (app/controllers/application.rb) serves as an abstract superclass for all other controllers in a Rails application and is a good place to put methods and filters which you want all of your controllers to use. In my case I''m using it to provide methods such as "current_user" and "logged_in?" etc. By default, RSpec

Hello, Has anyone already come up with a set of shared behaviours that someone could leverage when adhering to a CRUD concept, with respect to controllers? Relatedly, it would be nice if there were a way to share generalized behaviour specs. -Chris

Good morning rspec people! Still rspec nuby: I must do something wrong obviously.

I am working with the authlogic gem and trying to create a simple login test from cucumber features. The feature statement is: Given the user is not logged in The step definition for this is confounding me. In the application_controller the authlogic tutorial recommends the following: private def require_user unless current_user store_location flash[:notice] =

I''m trying to use it_should_behave_like, and something seems to be wonky with the syntax. When I add :shared=>true, the DSL complains that the next line is the fixture declaration: /vendor/plugins/rspec/lib/spec/dsl/behaviour_eval.rb:137:in `method_missing'': undefined method `fixtures'' for #<Spec::DSL::EvalModule:0x324a2cc> (NoMethodError) Here''s the

Hi, I want to be able to get at the described class in my shared behaviour.

Say that there''s a piece of functionality I want to call everytime the controller is invoked, regardless of what action I am calling. Where do I put that, exactly? Can I do that? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have a lot of controllers with virtually identical functionality for most actions. I''ve been using shared behaviours to DRY things up a bit, but I still have to create separate behaviours for each context before I can use the shared behaviours what I have now is a generic file which contains all the behaviours and examples common to all the controllers, and that file gets loaded from

Hello, Not sure if I am doing something really wrong (let''s not say stupid for now), but I haven''t been able to stub a controller method like: controller.stub!(:logged_in?).and_return(true) Please help, this is driving me nuts ;-) -- An?bal Rojas http://www.rubycorner.com http://www.hasmanydevelopers.com

Hi, I am trying to code an application that is based on Rspec; I am programmatically building examples, and launching the runner with a custom formatter.

I have some specs that ''require'' other files. When running spec_server, if these required files are changed, it''s not picked up when the specs are run. I have to restart spec_server to get the changes recognized. Is there an option or some such to have spec_server reload required files as well when a spec is run? Thanks, Steve

I had posted this on the regular Rails list, but upon trying this in script/console, it seems like the behavior only exists when running rspec. I''m getting some weird behavior in one of my models.

Is it possible to access the described class in a shared behavior?

Hello! I have a lot of contexts for testing Rails controllers, that must do something like ''session[:logged_in] = true'' in their setup. How can this be refactored? In unit tests I would simply create a LoggedInControllerTest base class, that all my functional tests would derive from. And another small question: In my controller specifications I often have to decide whether to
