Hi Just something that I have been finding very helpful sometimes when I am stuck with "how could I test this?" moments is looking at the Rails test suite. At the moment I am working on testing our custom error_messages_for methods and I have found looking at how the Rails tests in active_record_helper work helpful :-) So just thought I''d share that. Have

Hi We have specs in our rails project other than model/view/controller .. we have interests and lib ... using use_transactional_fixtures = true seems fine in a spec in the m/ v/c and interests directories but not in lib Just wondered if anyone had any quick thoughts as to why that may be???

Hi Just a quick question .... what backward versions of Rails will the 1.1.0 versions of RSpec and Spec::Rails support? I think I maybe under the (incorrect) impression that I had to go to Rails 2.0 for 1.1.0 Cheers Shane Shane Mingins ELC Technologies (TM) 1921 State Street Santa Barbara, CA 93101 Phone: +64 4 568 6684 Mobile: +64 21 435 586 Email: smingins at elctech.com AIM:

Hi We are looking at moving a project over from 1.05 to 1.08 but have a problem with some of our helper specs They work fine in 1.05 but error in 1.08 and it is the calls to route helper methods that seems to be the problem. I did some playing around .. because the code being tested is reasonably large etc ... but this sample (using the peepcode app) seems to boil down the problem

Hello all, I have a view which display html based on the value of a variable.

Hi Has anyone mocked a call like the following for backgroundrb? MiddleMan.new_worker(:class => :admin_email_worker, :args => params [:email]) I cannot seem to find the correct manner to do it. Would have liked to be able to do MiddleMan.should_receive (:new_worker).with(:class => :admin_email_worker, :args => {"body" => "my message"}) Cheers Shane

Hello, I''m running AutoTest with Rspec on a Rails application. Every 20 or so runs I get "stack level too deep" on one particular controller stub. Ex. controller.stub!(:login).and_return(true) This particular line is in a before block of a certain describe block. The strange thing is, every single spec in this file fails on that one line, even the specs in other describe

Trying to spec the following but don''t know if I''m using the right matcher. How do I spec? Plz, sugar on tops. Audience.stats - should have a stats of 80 when passed a flux of 10 - should return an error when passed a string (ERROR - 1) 1) TypeError in ''Audience.stats should return an error when passed a string'' String can''t be coerced into Fixnum

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 We have a Rails project using an engine which I want to run autotest with rspec against. So the project specific specs are in the specs directory but the common specs are in the specs directory of the engine plugin (e.g. vendor/plugin/engine/specs) Just wondering where I would be looking to change configuration so that autotest will also look for the specs in the engine directory?

Hi All So I am a first-time caller ;-) ... and have been trying to apply RSpec to the depot example in Dave Thomas'' book as I build the application. I am having a problem testing the admin controller create method and cannot quite see where I am going wrong so was hoping for a pointer :-) My spec looks like: describe AdminController do before(:each) do @product =

Hi Something that''s gnawing at me... to avoid using the SQLite3 gem I''m stubbing it out like this: before(:each) do @database = mock("SQLite3 database") SQLite3 = Module.new SQLite3::Database = Class.new SQLite3::Database.stub!(:new).and_return(@database) end But then it keeps nagging me:

Has anyone used the vpaypal gem yet (http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=1372&release_id=4452) and if so, how does it compare to the paypal plugin from ELC (http://elctech.com/products_ruby_paypal.shtml)? ELC''s is at 1.4 now while vpaypal is at 0.0.1 and hasn''t had much activity at rubyforge. I''m hoping for some success stories from people on one or both of

Hi I hope this is not OT. I''m training my replacement at work to do BDD Rails development. He''s done a CS/maths degree but has no professional programming experience, so he''s never NOT done a project without BDD. In a way I am jealous of his unspoilt situation :) I''ve gone about things this way: * first teach him some Ruby (he did mainly Java at

I''m writing an acts_as_* plugin and am trying to BDD it. Ideally my specs would look like: describe ActsAsCloneable, " basic cloning" do load_example_classes School.class_eval do acts_as_cloneable end before(:each) do @old_school = School.create! :name => "Baylake Pines", :city => "Virginia Beach", :guid => "abc123"
