Hello everyone: I am quit new to View test using rspec. I want to write spec for a partial, which is rendered by a controller. However, the controller does not pass data to the partial using instance variables, it uses symbol variable instead. I read the example of view spec provided in the website. But the example is using instance variable. So I am looking for a way of assigning my test data

Hi, A controller has a method with the following def update ... if @config.update_attributes( params[:new_config] ) redirect_to :action => :index else * render :action => :edit, :id => params[:id] # this line here* end ... end The example has the following it ''should render the "edit" config url on an unsuccessful save''

Hi, I''m trying to spec a controller method which renders some rjs as part of a render :update block. The problem I''m having is that stub_render or expect_render don''t seem to allow and_return to work. The controller method does: if @thing.save render :update do |page| page.insert_html :bottom,

I found this: controller.expect_render(:partial => ''thing'', :collection => things).once but I am trying to expect_render twice in my view spec: template.expect_render(:partial => ''order_details'').twice This doesn''t work as the template.expect_render call seems to be returning an array. Is it possible to expect the rendering of a partial

Hello everyone: I am kind of puzzled in writing spec on view partials. I can not find much information about the "should have_tag" syntax in Rspec. Can rspec test a particular attribute of a tag (e.g. input tag)? Let me put an example here: #../view/group/_index <div id="test"> <input type="button" value="update" onclick="update()"

Hello everyone: I am currently assigned to test a big project which uses JRuby to build a web application. The reason of using JRuby is the web application is communicating with Java Service. I am writing test cases using Rspec and looking for a code coverage tool. Rcov is no doubt a nice code coverage tool. However, it is said that Rcov is not compatible with JRuby so far. Sigh....I can not

Hi there, I''ve been working with RSpec for about a week now, and the process of moving from a Test::Unit + Mocha setup to an RSpec + Mocha environment has been pretty straightforward. Except, I''m having problems with using template.expect_render. I have Mocha enabled with: > config.mock_with :mocha in spec_helper. And then I have a view spec which looks like this:

Dear Fellows: I was using fixtures in the model tests using Rspec. I found that the test data specified in the fixtures was stored in the test database once I ran the spec and won''t be removed anyway. Is my observation correct? There might be another problem regarding the fixtures. When I ran the specs one by one, it was working. However, it failed when I tried to run all the

Dear fellows: I am currently working on writing specs on some ruby modules(e.g. myModule). At first I try to use script/generate to generate rspec_module, but it failed. :-( Later I manually created a file (e.g. named myModule_spec.rb) and put the ''require ....spec_helper.rb'' as the first line of code followed by ''describe'' block. Luckily, it seemed to

Hello everyone: Right now I am writing spec on modules, which are provided by my colleagues. Some of the modules actually contain action methods. I tried very hard to spec those action methods in modules. But it seems that the rspec does not allow module spec to ''get'' action like controller does. After I saw the documentation, I then used :behaviour_type=>:controller.

Trunksters, I just added a couple of methods to ActionView::Base in Spec::Rails (as of r2136) that lets you do this in view examples: describe ''/things/index.html.erb'' do it "should render _thing with a collection of things" do assigns[:things] = things = [Object.new] template.expect_render(:partial => ''thing'', :collection => things)

My spec; describe ''subnav rendering while logged in'' do before do template.stub!(:logged_in?).and_return(true) template.stub! (:current_profile).at_least(:once).and_return(mock_profile) end def do_render render "/homepages/show.html.erb" end it "should render the logged in partial for homepages" do

There is a warning on the web site about expect_render and stub_render: "WARNING: expect_render and stub_render, while very useful, act differently from standard Message Expectations (a.k.a. mock expectations), which would never pass calls through to the real object. This can be very confusing when there are failures if you''re not aware of this fact, because some calls will be

Great Hi to everybody! I am currently working on a project which tests the controllers using rspec. I came across some methods in the controller which do not generate any actions at all. However, they still need testing! Some of these methods do require parameters. I am wondering how I can pass the test cases as the parameters to these targeted methods in the controller spec?? Below is a simple

Good morning to everyone: So weird!! I got a method called apply_settings(arg1, arg2) in the controller to be tested. In the controller spec, I of course called the method. In the controller: def apply_settings(arg1, arg2) #where arg1 is a hash, and arg2 is an array of object #do some coding end In the controller spec: before(:each) do @controller = Controller.new

Good morning, dear fellows: I''d like to recall one question I posted yesterday. I am writing specs for ruby modules. Some of the modules do some data process in the test database. Because ''fixtures'' is undefined (Am I correct?) in module specs, spec of certain module (e.g. delete data form database) will affect other specs of other modules (e.g. try to access the

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

Hey Guys, I''m getting the following error: 1) NameError in ''ProductsController with a GET to /products NO NAME (Because of Error raised in matcher)'' uninitialized constant Spec::Mocks::BaseExpectation::AnyArgsConstraint /Users/mattlins/Projects/RailsProjects/SWNetworkServices/vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails/lib/spec/rails/dsl/behaviour/render_observer.rb:86:in

At times I''ve gotten the message "No Server Running" from drbspec with my rails app. The thing is, the drb server certainly is running! This happened a few times with my model specs. I''m not sure exactly what the problem was there - I believe I was loading up fixtures that didn''t exist. I was calling fixtures :singular_table_name as opposed to

I''m currently working on some RSpec view tests and I''m having problems with expect_render. Most of the expect_render''s work fine, but in one of my views I have: <%= render :partial => "user_cloud", :locals => {:user => @featured_user} %> I see that expect_render supports ":object" or ":collection" for the second
