similar to: plain text stories: motivation number 27

Hi everybody. Per http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/rspec-users/2007-November/004572.html, we''re going to be moving ticket tracking over to lighthouse. We''d like to get this rolling sooner than later, but we''re fairly well occupied getting ready for the 1.1 release and writing rspec books :) We''ve got the lighthouse account set up. The thing we need to do to

Thanks to discussions on this list, suggestions from many of you and a patch from Pat Maddox, we now have Plain Text User Stories in Story Runner. Read more: http://blog.davidchelimsky.net/articles/2007/10/21/story-runner-in-plain-english Cheers, David

Fistly, many, many thanks for RSpec and Story Runner. Minor request to improve readability of output Given a scenario item with multiple params.. Eg. And "the user belongs to", "Joe", "Acme" do |user_name, company_name| The readability of the following output is less than ideal.. "And the user belongs to company,Joe Public, No Videos" It would be

Hi all, I''m just getting to grips with rspec, and I''m trying to put together a showy demo. We''re trying to use the (plain text) stories feature, rather than the specs. I''d like to show off a fancy HTML report of the results if possible. So it seems I can do this from the spec command line tool, but I can''t make it work for a story. I''ve got

Bleeding-edge story-writers, How are you structuring your specs? I am working on a new project and tried this: ./lib ./blah ./spec ./blah ./stories But it breaks autotest, so I moved stories parallel to lib and spec. Also what about suffixes? I have adopted "xyz_story_spec.rb", and "xyz.story" for the time being, with the line runner =

Here''s an excellent blog post on Story Runner, which will be part of the next release and is undergoing active development in trunk: http://evang.eli.st/blog/2007/9/1/user-stories-with-rspec-s-story-runner

What''s the status on a rake task for the story runner. If nothing is in progress, where could I start to try and build one? JD

Hi, I''m fairly new to Rails and v. new to RSpec. Think it looks pretty useful and so I''m trying it out for the first time. I have installed the rspec-rails gem and created a simple plain text my_story file and my_story.rb file along the lines described here - http://www.tomtenthij.co.uk/2008/1/25/rspec-plain-text-story-runner-on-a-fresh-rails-app. When I run

I just read ''Mocks Aren''t Stubs'' and was intrigued by the notion of ''outside-in'' TDD. As a Rails developer, I''m curious if others are employing this method when developing Rails applications using RSpec. Is it common practice (or even practical) to drive the development of a Rails app by starting with view specs, then controller specs, then

Hi all, Where can we add tickets for Cucumber? While trying to migrate a current project I ran into a snag.. specially that cucumber does not support multi-line steps like the edge rspec story runner (which makes sense since this was such a new feature to the story runner.) Anyways, I don''t have enough time at the moment to dig into it myself so I''d like to at least log it.

Disclaimer: The following are observations by a relatively new user (couple of weeks) of RSpec and not intended as RSpec trollbait. Also, forgive me if similar topics have been discussed elsewhere on the mailing list. I at least did the due diligence of a quick search. That said... I''ve been positively thrilled with RSpec for use outside of Rails. It has been in my attempts

I saw from the thread "color output" that there is a plan to "align the runner". Is there a place to see what that means? I am just curious. Thanks Shane

Hey guys! I am using rspec trunk, and I am having a little problem with the latest version. (I am quite sure this worked with an older version about a week ago) heres the spec: it "should render the new user form without layout for a xhr request" do @controller.should_receive(:render).with(:layout=>false) xhr :get,:new end and the controller: def new render

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, I''ve been following this thread and I can get the example stories to run with the ruby command. But I''ve been unable to get the example from http://blog.davidchelimsky.net/articles/2007/10/25/plain-text-stories-part-iii to run with all.rb ruby stories/all.rb /home/edh/story/stories/additions/steps/addition_steps.rb:2: undefined method `steps_for'' for main:Object

Has anyone noticed any problems with the Rails story runner returning a response code of "0" when doing get/post/etc methods? I just grabbed the latest rails/rspec and just started noticing this problem, http://pastie.caboo.se/117497 Regular controller specs pass as expected. -- Josh Knowles phone: 509-979-1593 email: joshknowles at gmail.com web: http://joshknowles.com

I admit it, when it comes to rSpec, I''m lazy. I''ve made a few feeble attempts to use it, but for once I''m waiting for a book-length treatment. At least two books were announced, I think. Can anyone in the know please report on their progress? Thanks Michael -- Michael Schuerig mailto:michael at schuerig.de http://www.schuerig.de/michael/

Hi there, newb q: The "pending" support for spec''s and steps is nice. I''m just wondering why a scenario itself can''t be pending? I.e. it seems to me like it would be nice to write up scenario titles for scenarios as you think of them, and for low-priority fringe scenarios leave the steps unwritten until it comes time to implement the scenario? Is there a

hypothetical question for all you BDD experts: I want to make sure that a :list action always returns widgets in alphabetical order. There''s at least 2 ways of doing this: it "should fetch items in alphabetical order" do Widget.should_receive(:find).with(:order => "name ASC") get :list end it "should fetch items in alphabetical order" do [:red,

I''m taking my first fledgling steps driving a new ruby (non-rails) project with BDD. I''ve got a (test) story working. However, when I run the story in TextMate (via command-r), the output is plain text. See: http://skitch.com/georgeanderson/8grg/run-examples How do I get the output to look pretty (formatted)? rspec-1.1.3 OS X 10.5.2 TextMate v1.5.7 (1455) Thanks, /g --
