Hi Are there any tools around that make rspec''s failure messages easier to read? unit_diff from ZenTest doesn''t seem to work - unless I missed something. A simple but very helpful improvement would be to use more line- breaks, e.g. Current output: expected "this is a very long string blah blah", got "this is a very very long string blah blah" (using

Hi, Not sure if this is the right place for general questions on BDD style, but here goes... I have a class which behaves almost like a big function - you always instantiate it with a bunch of args, and call one of a couple of methods to get the results back. BDD style seems to like a separate describe block for each instantiation of the class under test. In this case that would mean a

How does one write a spec for a Rails library? // Gregory

I tried running a spec with command-r in TextMate and got: /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/RSpec.tmbundle/Support/ lib/spec_mate.rb:1:in `require'': No such file to load -- rubygems (LoadError) from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ RSpec.tmbundle/Support/lib/spec_mate.rb:1 from /tmp/ temp_textmate.GplhPr:3:in `require'' from

Is it a bad practice to use a subversion repository to the trunk of rspec and rspec_on_rails? Or rather, is it doomed to fail, since my gem will always be out of date? I know I can''t use spec, installed from gem,s if I have the latest revision of rspec and rspec_on_rails checked into my plugins directory. But I should still be able to use it with the --drb option, correct?

I vote for spec''ing. Anybody else?

Consider the following method: def name_to_terminal puts "Scott Taylor" end How would I spec this out? Scott

I went ahead and moved to the trunk versions of RSpec and Spec:Rails because I wanted to try out the new Story Runner feature. However, when I tried to do "rake spec:doc", I got the following: AccountController - NO NAME (Because of --dry-run) AccountHelper - NO NAME (Because of --dry-run) User (in general) - NO NAME (Because of --dry-run) - NO NAME (Because of --dry-run) - NO NAME

Does rspec not understand "fixtures :all" ? If so, has it been requested? If not, can I request it? If you need a patch I can surely submit one. ;) Zach

(oops, accidentally sent this to the rspec-devel list, sorry about that) Could someone help me spec out these Rails controller methods? I don''t know where to get started, especially with the transaction stuff. Or, if anyone else could suggest ways I could improve the code, that would be great as well. Puzzle has_one Media. Both are AR model objects. class PuzzlesController <

Hello, I have recently upgraded to the 0.8.2 release of rSpec, and I am receiving the following message with each view spec execution: WARNING: there is no transaction in progress I have upgraded the rspec_on_rails plugin as well, and both the model and controller tests are working flawlessly. Is there some simple step I missed? thanks for the input. -Chris -------------- next part

The trunk now has some nifty improvements to the HTML report (--format html). Each failing spec will (in addition to the backtrace) have a box with a source code snippet of the offending code. If you have Jamis Buck''s syntax gem installed the code will also be syntax highlighted 8-D There has also been some major improvements to Spec::Ui, and it should be much easier to set up than

I am using Spec:UI to run my Selenium tests, and I want to start Selenium only once, for many descriptions. I''ve come quite far solving it by declaring a main ui spec like the following: require ''pathname'' require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/selenium'' $base_url="http://localhost:3000" $browser =

Forgive me if this isn''t the proper list. It''s specific to the rSpec Rails plugin. The problem is, some controller actions are rendering the "diagnostics.rhtml" template when I''m expecting it to render something else in a controller spec. I''m assuming this is the template that displays the error message and a stack trace when an error is raised in the

First off, I''m not trying to spec attachment_fu, I know it''s been tested. But, I added some code to that model that I do need to test. Basically, I need to somehow fulfill the "uploaded_data" property so I can actually run my tests(otherwise they fail because of validations). The "uploaded_data" field is what would grab the multipart data from form. Here

Hi there, I can''t seem to access the fixture name as a class variable from my specs. I have to set the variable in the spec setup. ... [fixtures] my_fixture: id: 1 ...

Hi, Just built the gem from trunk for the first time and ran into an issue with the generated spec.opts file (rev. 1493). Moving the file out of the way fixed the problem. I''m not on windows, so this is not a win32console gem issue as per the README. /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-0.8.0/lib/spec/expectations/sugar.rb:13:in `call'': undefined local variable or method

Hi. I''m upgrading a project from an 0.8.0 pre-release gem to 0.8.2. I''ve installed the 0.8.2 gem, and the rspec_on_rails 0.8.2 plugin: ruby script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/tags/REL_0_8_2/rspec When I try to run my specs though, I get the below error. It''s as if the spec_helper cannot find "spec/rails". I''ve noticed that
