similar to: describing a mock_model as being an instance

Has anyone else run into a problem with trying to use mock_model in spec/lib ? For some reason, I can take the same spec, put it in spec/models, have it run fine, but put it in spec/lib, and have it complain about not being able to find #mock_model Thanks, Edward

Hi, Is it possible to do the following in a controller spec? @controller.should_receive(:render).with(:layout => false) I''ve been trying this kind of thing and it looks like RSpec is messing with the render calls, and requires you to use render_template instead. Could we have at least a warning that mentions that parameters passed to :render expectations are going to be thrown

Is there a standard location for spec helpers (as in bits of code that help write specs)? I''m mocking/stubing-out portions of ActiveSalesforce, a remote-database abstraction layer so my specs won''t have to rely on a remote connection, but I''m not sure where I should be putting this helper lib. I was thinking of just sticking it in spec/ but I was curious if

Before I chalk this up as a bug and report it, I just want to make sure I''m not doing something silly. Running ZenTest''s autotest on OS 10.4.10 with RSpec 1.0.8, drb, produces the following failed test: ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch in ''User should create an avatar with uploaded_data'' Avatar expected, got Avatar This only happens with that exact

Hi, I''m trying to setup a mock for my controller test but I can''t get it to recognise the mock. I use it "should find all users" do User.should_receive(:find).with( :all, :limit => 10 ).and_return([@user]) do_get end and in the controller @users = User.find(:all, :limit => 10 ) But this does not work. It gives me User expected :find with (:all)

I writing a spec that returns the count of how many players in a game: it "should how many players in a link to all players" do render :partial =>"games/game", :object => @game response.should have_tag(''a'',"(2) Players") end I''m not sure how to do the mock model, I think it would be done two ways but unsure of the syntax: 1: add

Hi folks, I''m trying out this idea of "outside-in" and writing specs for my views first. Being a person who generally starts with some scribbles of a user interface and moves right to models, this has yet to be fun, but I''m giving it a shot. My question: I''m trying to specify that an index page should show a list of things, each with a link to a delete

I would like to output the following information when running a spec (_also_ on success): - the description text - the expected value - the actual value After looking through the documentation I thought custom formatters might be the way to go, but unfortunately it does not look like all variables are accessible from there? I need this for an academic report where all testing needs to be

Hi -- I am just getting to grips w/ view specs, and am having an issue with mock_model not stubbing the mocked model''s attributes. For instance, I have the following: <CODE> before do @input_timesheet = mock_model( InputTimesheet ) assigns[:input_timesheet] = @input_timesheet end it "should display a table element" do render

I''m wondering whether I''m wasting my time trying to verify that an addition I''ve made to legacy code is in fact setting a new attribute on a model. Substruct''s (http://dev.subimage.com/projects/substruct) OrderHelper contains this method: 1 def create_order_from_post 2 @use_separate_shipping_address = params[:use_separate_shipping_address]

I am using mock_model in my tests, and I encountered a situation where my stub is failing. Here''s the scenario: Controller: @locations = Location.al(:bounds=>bounds)l @locations.sort_by_distance_from([bounds.center.lat,bounds.center.lng]) Rspec: @location = mock_model(Location) Location.stub(:all).and_return([@location])

Hello, I''m working with scaffold generated controller test code for handling GET requests. Address is the model being tested. Address belongs_to Company, Company has_many addresses. In my addresses_controller I have: before_filter :get_company def index @addresses = @company.addresses.find(:all) respond_to do |format| format.html # index.html.erb format.xml {

Please understand in the following that I am making relatively minor changes to legacy (non-TDD/BDD) code in Substruct and don''t have the time to refactor nicely right now. I''m just trying to get past the untested/un-speced cruft quickly to write the spec for my new code, so I''m looking for expediency over prettiness. I''m specifying before( :each ) do

Hi, I have two models in an app that inherit from ActiveResource::Base. The scaffold controller tests for one of the models works fine, but the other one dies when calling mock_model in the "handling GET /fa_codes" spec: Specifically, the call to mock model here: before do @fa_code = mock_model(FaCode) FaCode.stub!(:find).and_return([@fa_code]) end generates this failure:

I have a namespace called saltmines The following will fail the spec @player = mock_model(Saltmines::Player) 1) ActionView::TemplateError in ''/saltmines/players/index.rhtml should render list of saltmines/players'' You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! You might have expected an instance of Array. The error occurred while evaluating nil.each On line #9 of

I''m trying to test some code that has validates each and I''ve got a very strange failure Mock ''Book_1027'' expected :store_with_privacy? with (#<Clip:0x1a99b96 @name="Clip_1025">) but received it with (#<Clip:0x1a99b96 @name="Clip_1025">) The Spec it "should check that a book can save a clip" do @user =

Hey, Sorry for so many questions - I''m really bad at this right now. I''m trying to cover the following code w/ rspec def index if params[:user_id] @user = User.find(params[:user_id]) @messages = @user.messages end end So basically what I''m doing is listing all the messages for a user, provided there is an id parameter. describe

Hi, I''m very new to rspec so please be patient with me. I''ve tried to take some of my tests out of the controller specs to check for things that are rendered. This has not worked so well, since my views have the controller method current_user in quite a few places. Is there any way that I can define this so that my views will be executed? Will this same thing occur for all

I want to use mocks and stubs to test the controller, but am having trouble getting my validation not to trigger. Here''s the code: # spec: Image.stub!(:find).and_return(@image) @image.should_receive(:save!).once.with(:any_args) put :update, :id => @image.id, :category_id => @category.id, :image => {:name => ''test'', :image_number =>
