similar to: stubs which yield and return

I found that scoped_access does not re-evaluate the filters on every run. If you are filtering access based on parameters, this can be bad. The scope is set on the first request and then further requests use the last generated scoping. The initial part of ScopedAccess::Filter#before looks like this: @scoping = controller.instance_eval(@scoping.to_s) if @scoping.is_a?(Symbol) This makes

I have the following code, which yields instance eval''s the block given: class Foo def bar(&blk) instance_eval &blk end def baz yield end end The effect of this is that self is reassigned: Foo.new.bar do # here, self is the instance of Foo # created by new end But normally self is the object in which Foo.new.bar {...} occurs. Foo.new.baz do

How would you spec out something like the following: def a_method x = Class.new do include Enumerable end # do something here with x end describe "The Anonymous Class" do before :each do @anonymous_class = mock Class Class.stub!(:new).and_return @anonymous_class end it "should create a new anonymous class" do

Hi I''ve spec''d a class and they pass. Now I''d like to assure that any subclass of this class also passes the same specs. Any suggestions for a clever way to handle this? I''d prefer to keep the existing specs as is (eg instead of moving everything into shared behaviors, or doing something to all the ''describe'' lines) thanks linoj

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

Hey, sorry if this is something better suited to another list. I''ve encountered a strange problem with the RSpec.tmbundle in trunk - namely that it was raising an exception when pressing ctrl-shift-downarrow (switch between spec and source - "Alternate File"). I tracked down the issue to be handling of the file_type in switch_command.rb#content_for() - the code expected the

Hey all, I have a question with using mocha in my tests. In the same test file, I have two tests, <code> def test_a klass.any_instance.stubs(:method_name).returns("something") klass.new.method_name ... end def test_b ... klass.new.method_name ... end </code> where klass is some class when the tests run, test _a passes, but test_b had an error like this:

Hi! I''m trying to extend ActiveRecord''s find method (Rails 1.0, Ruby 1.8.2), but I recognize a strange behaviour of the "alias_method" call. I wrote a very simple script to explain my problem: ------------------------------------------------------ module ActiveRecordExtension def self.included(base) base.extend(ClassMethods) base.class_eval do

Hi! I am looking for a solution for the following problem: Some of my models share some attributes and also was in need for some extra features, so I created a class "RecordWithFeatures": ----------------------------------------------------------------- class RecordWithFeatures < ActiveRecord::Base # @Override def self.descends_from_active_record? superclass ==

I''ve notice that a project like Rubinius has both a spec & a test directory. Rspec has only a spec directory. Obviously I support BDD, but isn''t there also a place for state based/verification testing? I sometimes sense that I *do* want to practice Test Driven Development. That is, I want some assurance that my production code will run as intended. But I also

Hi everyone. I can''t get the above(subject line) combination to work. If I use a standard sqlite3 file db for the test db, and spec_server all the specs on my models pass. If I use an in-memory db for the test db, script/spec w/o spec_server, they all pass. But if I use in-memory and spec_server I get the following error: 1) ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in ''User should be

What is the difference between these two ways of mocking (with and without the string): mock(''Object'') and mock(Object) ? Scott

Hello all, while I''m using acts_as_audited(on jruby platform), after vendored the acts_as_audited, it reports some error, line 167, # Start observing the declared classes and their subclasses. def initialize Set.new(observed_classes + observed_subclasses).each { |klass| add_observer! klass } #this line end after some trace shows this one, when observed_classes is empty, will

Hi, I''m trying to use :through and STI using the trunk version of Rails, but I get the following error see bottom of this msg[1] here are my classes. class Player < ActiveRecord::Base end class Ladder < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :subscriptions has_many :players, :through => :subscriptions end class SingleLadder < Ladder end class Subscription <

Hi I''m having problems with using a hash. I put in a class and when I retrieve it, it''s automagically become a string ie <%= button_link _("Export CSV"), SearchParams.get_url_hash({ :action => :export_csv, :klass => Customer }, params, @search_fields) %> Customer is a class that is available to my view def export_csv klass =

I''m trying to add some per-object behaviors to objects descended from ActiveRecord, by using after_initialize() and instance_eval(), like this: def after_initialize self.instance_eval(File.read(''customers/default.rb'')) end (Ultimately the file path will be dynamic, this is just proof of concept.) default.rb just contains a few method definitions like this one: def

Hello! I''m just a caveman with some caveman questions. I''ve been parsing Rspec for quite a while, and I''m writing my first series of specs. My initial impressions are "Verbose, but understandable. Helpful and intuitive, but so much to digest." I want to congratulate the folks who are dedicating a chunk of their lives to writing this, and ask 2 caveman

Mocha''s mock/stub framework has the ability to stub all methods on a mock given. Does RSpec''s mocking framework have this ability? And if not, is there some reason it shouldn''t be implemeneted? Regards, Scott

Hi All, Got a bit of a Ruby question for you. If I have a function that makes a proc object like this: def select(selector, &proc) el = Element.new el.instance_eval proc end select("#thing") do hide end Wat I want to do is evaluate the Proc in the context of el but this doesn''t work because instance_eval accepts a string or a block and not a Proc object. I sense

Hello to all, I ran into a weird problem with an ActivRecord. I have a table named "build_order" with a column named "type" that is a foreign key to a table called "building_type". In a controller I try to read all the build_orders with "BuildOrder.find :all" and get the following error and stack trace: (eval):1:in `instance_eval'': compile
