similar to: "WARNING" after each spec

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

Should the stories dir be located on the project root? I was expecting to find it located under spec/ but there isn''t anything there, just the stories dir off of /. Also there don''t appear to be any rake tasks for stories, nor generators. Should there be any? Thanks, Steve

hi, When I run rake spec , it seems to be starting with my default environment (development or production) and connects to that database, before actually connecting to the test one and proceeding with the tests. When I remove the development database, the specs wont run. How do i initiate rspec to be test environment from the start? I dont see this when i run using script/spec linoj

I''m just curious if there''s a reason why rspec doesn''t add the various spec dirs to $: so that "requires" can be done without specifying the full path name. 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. I have a model defined something like this class User < ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessor :password validates_presence_of :password end If I validate the model without specifying a

I know there is a hash_including, which is quite useful. Are there by chance any matchers for ensuring a hash includes only the specified values, or that it doesn''t have certain values? Thanks, Steve

I have some finders in my models where I write some of the sql myself. I of course want to test these, but am not sure the best way. Should I just let them roll through to the db, and verify they return the correct objects based on the fixtures I load, or should I spec the actual query? I know that DB access is sort of frowned upon, but is this a situation where it is more or less acceptable? My

For those interested .... rake spec:models seems to clone the test database from development. If your dev db is empty, the models task fails mysteriously. Anyway, to make sure your dev db is at the current migration version, I added this dependency in lib/tasks task ''spec:models'' => ''db:migrate'' Now the dev db is migrated up with each test pass.

Is the rspec_autotest plugin mentioned here, http://blog.nicksieger.com/articles/2006/11/15/rspec-autotest-now-a-rails-plugin the accepted method of auto testing specs? It''s an old article, and after grabbing the plugin, and giving it a run, it fails with: $ rake spec:autotest:rails trunk/vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails/lib/spec/rails/dsl/behaviour/rails_example.rb:31: undefined method

Hey guys, Does anyone have any wisdom to share on the subject of speccing Rails layouts? Most of it''s plain old view specs stuff, but are there sensible ways to verify things like the yield call? (Mocking doesn''t catch that) Thanks, Matt -- Matt Patterson | Design & Code <matt at reprocessed org> | http://www.reprocessed.org/

Is anyone out there writing specs to check attr_accessible fields? I had originally written my spec to check for allowing the desired fields, and then none of the other regular db fields. Unfortunately this isn''t satisfactory, because attr_protected could have been used instead, which of course wouldn''t prevent mass assignment to any whatever=(val) method. I''m thinking

Just wondering if anyone else thinks that ''response.should be_success'' is potentially misleading. If you''re writing a spec for an action that is failing in some way it can still have a status 200. So while the HTTP request was technically successful, something in the action was not. Perhaps something like ''response.should have_success_status''? Steve

I''m trying to write some tests for the ApplicationController as shared tests that can be run in all of my other controller tests, but am getting a nil.rewrite error. Below is what I have... describe AccountController do it_should_behave_like ''Application controller'' end describe ''Application controller'', :shared => true do it

Can anyone tell me what I''m doing wrong here? it ''should try to set the current user from the session'' do controller.session[SessionKeys::USER_ID] = 1 user = mock_model(User) User.stub!(:find).and_return(user) User.should_receive(:find).with(1).and_return(user) controller.should_receive(:set_current_user) do_request end When I watch the spec with my

Dear list, I making some box-and-whisker plots in R with vertebrate data. The x axis are species names that must be in italics. I tried with the "axis" function but no luck, and it seems that affects both axes. Any tip? Thanks a lot in Advance. Alej

I just installed on my up to date FreeBSD 5.4 box. I'm a little confused as to whether or not there are things I need to configure or not. I went to go through the docs, and it was talking about using a file named "config" as a template, and modifying from there. Well that file didn't exist anywhere on my machine, or in the source I downloaded. In fact, looking in the Wine CVS

Hi R-Help, I'm trying a develop a test simulation where i evaluate the probability of not getting a value of 100 from the function rbinom(6000, 200, .5) [indeed, a very small probability]. At the end of each rep, I would like to evaluate the output, continue with the loop if the output contains the value 100, stop if the output lacks a 100. How do I get R to evaluate the output after

Hi all, I''ve been cleaning up our routing file, and removed the default map.connect ":controller/:action" route. It''s thrown up a bunch of sloppy mistakes, which is great, but I also think I''ve found a problem with the view specs. We have a generic navbar partial which is rendered in the index page of several different controllers. The navbar contains

Hi! I have installed the new R on windows. I wanted to reinstall the XML package. I am not able to find the XML.zip anymore. I am quite shure that they where a windows binary version.
