Hi, Googling ''RSpec describe scope'' didn''t yield much, so apologies if this question has been dealt with. It seem well known that a ruby class is ''visible'' between describes, and if this is a problem then you should use some counter as prefix or suffix: ''class Item_001; ... end'' Is there any work underway, or sheduled release where

Just curious - now that rspec (as of 0.9) let''s you choose your mock framework, how many of you are actually using (or planning to use) mocha or flexmock? Anybody planning to use any other mock framework besides rspec, mocha or flexmock? Thanks, David

I saw in one of Dave C.''s comments to a ticket that "our current plan is to deprecate the mocking framework." I hadn''t heard anything about that, but then again I haven''t paid super close attention to the list. Are we planning on dumping the mock framework in favor of using Mocha (or any other framework one might want to plug in?). Pat

Hi, I''ve been reading with interest the threads trying to integrate Mocha and Stubba with RSpec. So far, I''ve made the two changes in spec_helper.rb suggested, but discovered another one that neither of the archives mentions: If you use traditional mocking: object = mock or the stub shortcut : object = stub(:method => :result), you run into namespace conflicts with

Hi, I''m pretty new to Rspec, so hope someone can help me out with this. I''m leveraging a couple pre-existing applications in my current project, both have fairly robust test suites in Rspec already. However, one is using Rspec''s builit in mocking, and the other is using mocha. If I set config.mock_with mocha in spec_helper.rb, then all of the rspec mocks fail. If I

Hi experts, I picked up a copy of the rspec book and wrote some tests in spec/lib and spec/models for my Rails 2.3.8 code. I was using rspec 2.5.1, rspec-core 2.5.0, rspec-expectations 2.5.0 et. al. But I realised that the rspec-rails version I am using is meant for Rails3. Which version of rspec-rails should I use for Rails 2.3.8? Best, Radhesh -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi James, Jim, and everyone else who''s listening. I''ve been investigating an interesting bug related to mocks and rails AssociationProxies. See http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=3149&aid=12547&group_id=797 for details. The crux is that if you do this (rspec mock syntax): obj.should_receive(:msg).with(mock_of_a_model) and the implementation does

Hi all, Initially I thought this was a bug in the built-in mocking framework(and it still may be), but I better hash it out on the mailing list before I file/reopen the ticket: http://rspec.lighthouseapp.com/projects/5645/tickets/478-mocks-on-constants#ticket-478-6 I thought my example illustrated my problem, but obviously I was passing the wrong arguments to the mock. I revised my example to

In most of my tests I''d like to be able to stub out the observers for my models, but I''m not sure the best way to do this. I doesn''t look like there is a way to stub all instance methods, and I don''t seem to be able to stub early enough to stub out the observer as it''s instantiated. I can think of several hackish ways to get around it, but I was

I''ve been working on a Rails project with one other developer; he was using Test::Unit, and I was using RSpec. That works OK for a while, but obviously it starts causing pain when you have to check in two places to see if a piece of code is properly tested/spec''d, you can''t use TextMate shortcuts to switch back and forth between code and test, you have to duplicate

Are there any plans to move the schema definition from migrations to the model, where it should be? Like og does, which I think is used by the ruby Nitro framework... ObjectGraph: http://www.rubygarden.org/index.cgi/Libraries/og_tutorial.rdoc Example code: [code] class Post property :title, String, :sql => ''VARCHAR2(32) NOT NULL'' property :body, String property

I''ve recently upgraded my box from Ubuntu Breezy to Dapper, and for the life of me can''t figure out why I''m getting this exception thrown. I''ve switched from Switchtower to Capistrano, and when I run rake deploy I get this output: ** [update_code] exception while rolling back: NameError, uninitialized constant Net::SSH::Transport::OSSL

Hi, i''m currently looking into a problem with the tests for ActionPack. 127 of them are failing on my windows machine. On Linux everything is working fine so far. I just wasted a good part of an hour trying to find the problem on windows...the solution is: Nitro and not Windows. I''m using Edge Rails and have no rails gem installed. On Windows I have the Nitro/Glue/Og gems

Hi Just wrote myself a Date.extract_from_rails_hash to handle parsing the "date(1i)", "date(2i)" parameters created in the controller params. I''ve got a method that needs to call this either once or twice, depending on the contents of the form (one section of the form is rendered conditionally). So I had two specs for the case where the second form section

Hello to everyone I''m having trouble using RSpec to test code which uses QtRuby (both version 3 and 4). I noticed that, after upgrading from RSpec 1.0.5 to RSpec 1.0.8, some of my specs which used QtRuby caused spec (or rake, when used from a Rakefile) to hang indefinitly. After a bit of investigation, I found that the problem arose in the following situation: * requiring Qt4 / Qt3

Is there a built-in way of describing a mock_model as being an instance, beyond stubbing the eval("Object.methods - Object.new.methods") methods to throw NoMethodErrors? Edward

In Rolling with Ruby on Rails tutorial - http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html - I saw that to introduce a new element to my domain, I needed to define it in a table, generate a model element with a similar name and the class would autoamtically take the attributes from the table definition. Is it possible to do this in the other direction... i.e to take the class diagram

I was reading through the FlexMock docs and noticed the expectation method .mock, which returns the original mock associated with an expectation. It looks really handy for writing nice all-in-one mocks like: mock_user = mock(''User'').expects(:first_name).returns(''Jonah'').mock So I started playing around with mocha and found I could actually already do this!

Hi Is stubbing a call to super possible? I am testing a protected method called authorized in a Rails controller ... part of the logic flow calls super which calls the method authorized in the application controller. As I am focused on the logic of the method in the controller I am testing I just wish to stub the value returned in the super. Is this at all possible? Cheers Shane

Hi guys, Would you mind if I ask how Flex Mock and Mocha sit together? They compete directly? I read that Flex Mock was built into Rails 1.2. Is there a reason to use Mocha instead of Flex Mock? Tks Greg
