similar to: and_yield + instance_eval(&block)

Is there any reason why a stub couldn''t both yield and return? I''m looking for a way to mock out a class I''ve made named "AnonymousClass": class AnonymousClass def initialize(&blk) @klass = Class.new @klass.instance_eval(&blk) if block_given? end def new @klass.new end def evaluate(&blk)

Is anyone using rspec with autotest? Scott

I believe for rails projects you can put rspec''s code repos into vendor/plugins, and autotest will automatically use the rspec binary in that directory, and not the gem installed. Is there an easy way to do this for non-rails projects? There are a few advancements on trunk which I would like to take advantage of. Tips welcome ; ). Scott Taylor

Test First Development is great...But should you use it when you are adding classes/methods on to external library that doesn''t have an extensive test suite? I noticed that the rspec plugin for autotest has no specs. David Chemlinsky said something to the list a while back that has been stewing in my subconscious - that you develop software differently using Test First

How can I spec out a rake task? How can I use rake in my spec''s? I want to fix this rake spec:autotest bug with --drb and --color. How can I get rake output? How would I get out of autotest? My initial thought is just to run the command in the spec. Scott

I have something like the following: def my_fun my_fun2 do raise Error end end I know that I can verify that the method receives my_fun2. How can I mock/stub out the example to verify that it calls raise Error? Scott

Just ran svn up this morning, and got this (after running ./script/ generate rspec) escher: ./script/spec spec/models/item_spec.rb Finished in 8.0e-06 seconds 0 examples, 0 failures ./script/spec:4:in `run'': wrong number of arguments (3 for 1) (ArgumentError) from ./script/spec:4 Using rails 1.2.3, rspec trunk, on Mac OS X.4.9. Any ideas, or is this a bug in

If I got this to work, do you think we could/should check in rspec_autotest into rspec? I''ve updated rspec_autotest abit, so let me know if you''d like the modified code. Scott

Josh Knowles http://joshknowles.com/ just let me know that ZenTest Autotest 3.50 now handles your RSpec specs. http://blog.zenspider.com/archives/2007/04/zentest_version_350_has_been_released.html That''s a great news. Josh also shared with me a quick hack to make autotest work with only the RSpec plugin installed. Add the following into your ~/.autotest file

Am I correct in remembering that autotest (with Test::Unit) would rerun all the tests if a subset of the tests passed? If so, shouldn''t this behaviour also be present in rspec''s autotest library? Scott

I am completely baffled by this one - My guess is that there is no pure ruby way to do this - but how could I set up a spec to test that one method is an alias of another? Thanks for any help, Scott

My autotest runs but when I make changes to a spec it doesn''t reload. I checked another application I was building that had 1.0.9 but it was reloading fine. How would I debug a problem such as autotest not reloading? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Out of curiosity, I''ve seen the following fail: module Admin describe MyController ... end end But this works fine: describe Admin::MyController .. end Why? Scott

I have a mock of an instance of a class which descends from Array: class ArrayDescendent < Array; end #... in the specs... @descendent = mock ArrayDescendent How would I stub out ArrayDescendent#each, which is inherited from Array, to return multiple values successively? I could use and_yield, but that is raising an arity error (the anonymous function/ block should expect only *one

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

I have looked through the docs, looked at the code, even gave a cursory (2 page) glance at google, and it is not clear to me what SpecServer is or what it is for. Is it meant to speed up the execution of specs in a rails environment by doing some magic on the database? Or I am thinking it keeps a copy of Rails running to avoid the rails reload delay... Is there any documentation on this so I

Okay - so the sqlite bug reported a day or so ago on the list is real bug. I''m going to file something in the tracker for that... I also learned that before(:all)...after(:all) is not wrapped in a transaction, the way before(:each)...after(:each) is. Is there some reason behind this? Can you not wrap transactions inside transactions? Scott

Here is an example from autotest: class Autotest def self.run new.run end def new ... end def run ... end ... end How would I spec out Autotest.run? Two complications come to my mind: 1. How do I spec out class methods? (please point me to docs, if any. I can only find class level specing on "partial mocks" (of rails class objects) 2. How can I tell

Hi guys, I''m trying to find some information on how to get autotest to run the rspec2 tests. I have my project setup so "rake spec" runs the specs properly, but autotest seems to ignore/don''t know that there are specs to test. I read on the rspec2 wiki that autotest integration is o be added eventually. Any ideas on how to achieve this? Thanks, Jeroen

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 ...
