I''m running rspec and rspec on rails in svn external so I am running the latest version of the trunk. Recently the rake spec task started braking the continuous integration server because the rake aborted. I checked my local and it ran with the same behavior.. and all of the devs on my team are now experiencing the same problem. All the spec''s are passing, but the rake task is

What is the general opinion about fixtures versus mocking and stubbing in model specs? I heard from agile on IRC that they save the database testing for integration testing, but I also see that the caboose sample applicaiton uses fixtures. I also noticed that on the rspec site, it says "Ironically (for the traditional TDD''er) these are the only specs that we feel should actually

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, there, I have some methods which I have written as helpers. They are in spec/support/controller_macros.rb (yes, I will change the name soon). The 2 methods, login_user and login_admin_user works in the controller specs BUT fail to work in the view specs when I call them in the view specs. ---------- spec/spec_helper.rb start -------------------------- # This file is copied to spec/

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/

Dear fellows: I am currently working on writing specs on some ruby modules(e.g. myModule). At first I try to use script/generate to generate rspec_module, but it failed. :-( Later I manually created a file (e.g. named myModule_spec.rb) and put the ''require ....spec_helper.rb'' as the first line of code followed by ''describe'' block. Luckily, it seemed to

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

RSpec 0.9.4 has just been released. Gems haven''t rsync''ed around the globe yet, so you might have to wait a few hours to install it. The big news this time is Spec::Ui 0.2.0, which has been released along with RSpec core. This RSpec extension gives you custom Watir matchers (custom Selenium-RC matchers are not implemented yet). Moreover, it comes with a custom KICK ASS formatter

What do you guys think of this: if someone calls should_receive outside of an "it" block, it warns you. before(:each) do @foo = Foo.new @foo.should_receive(:monkeys) end would warn you that you''re setting an expectation in the wrong place, and that "stub" is correct when setting up objects. Opinions? courtenay

how can I get the benefits of integration testing with Rspec on Rails REL_0_6_3, please? When I first started playing with Rspec on Rails, I hacked spec_helper.rb to include the IntegrationTest interface (diff below) as it was the minimum change I could make to get the the ability to run multiple actions across controllers in my spec. I use it to specify authenticated sessions and stuff.

>From looking at the RSpec Rails documentation (https://www.relishapp.com/rspec/rspec-rails/docs/view-specs/view-spec) it seems like rendered is just a string and you can''t really do any assert_select type stuff out of the box. After Googling around, it seems that the RSpec authors decided that if you want that functionality, you should just use Capybara or some such... is that

Hi guys I''m new to rspec and was wondering if there is a quick setup to get it to work with autotest, sans rails.

I now have two specs in my rails project which correspond to one rails controller. I can run them individually and they pass, but running them together (either with the rake task just putting both files on the command line): euclid% spec spec/controllers/crud_resource_controller_spec.rb spec/ controllers/crud_resource_controller_with_join_models_spec.rb

Hey guys, I''m trying to get rSpec (rev 2996) working with Rails 2 (rev 8214). Running the tests from the command line works, no problem. I installed the RSpec.tmbundle (also rev 2996), and would like to see the HTML test results in TextMate. When I run the "Run examples in selected files/directories" command in TextMate, I get the following dump:

I am taking over a code base and am trying to run the tests. I am somewhat new to RSpec so this might be a trivial problem. Basically I can tell that the fixtures are not getting loaded. All 100 tests fail with a similar error. But I don''t know why. Below is the code, with my narrative with *** before it... Can you see anything or give me a clue where to look. So far I am coming up

I have a bunch of fixtures designed to populate the database for my Cucumber integration tests. But at this stage I want my database to be empty when using Rspec. So, I moved the fixtures from `/spec/fixtures` to `features/support/fixtures`, and updated `features/support/env.rb` to read: Fixtures.reset_cache fixtures_folder = File.join(RAILS_ROOT, ''features'',
