I''ve added a method to the mock class that makes it pretty easy to stub associations in rails. I''ve been using it for awhile and it seems to cut down on a lot of setup code for the controller and model specs that use associations. #before @person = mock_model(Person) posts = mock(''post_proxy'') posts.stub!(:build).and_return(mock_model(Post, :save => true))

I''m trying to jump on the TDD/BDD bandwagon, but am having trouble understanding how i should mock my user. The user has a habtm relationship to a roles model (acl_system2 plugin), but I''m not sure how to tell rspec about a model. My code: describe UsersController do integrate_views before(:each) do @user = mock_model(User)

I''m having trouble figuring out how to drive the design of a class. I''m hoping I can get a hint or two from the more experienced BDDers on this list. I''m writing an adapter class that sits between a 3rd party library and my business logic. I would like to extract some information from objects available from the 3rd party lib and covert them into ruby objects.

Many posts on this list are about using RSpec with Rails and that''s the way I''m also using RSpec all the time. Unfortunately there isn''t that much info about using RSpec for standalone Ruby projects. I must admit I''m really having a hard time writing the very first example(s) for a fresh standalone Ruby project. I haven''t really got a clue where to

One of the things that turned me on to BDD and RSpec was speccing views first, that the desired end would drive the development. In previous projects while using Test::Unit I would try to make educated guesses as to what would be needed in the model and controllers to derive the view without actually writing the view until afterwards. This is all because testing relied on each previous

I don''t like this: i = mock(Integer) i.should_receive(:asdfasdf).and_return(''foo'') puts i.asdfasdf Shouldn''t rspec check to see that :asdfasdf is a valid message to be sending Integer? Joe

Hi all, I cannot figure out how to correctly use the with_output_buffer helper method (located in ActionView::Helpers::CaptureHelper) inside a custom FormBuilder. Below follows a simplified example. I''m trying to achieve the following behavior in an ERB as suggested in the form_for helper docs in the Rails source: ========== <%= form_for @object, :builder => MyFormBuilder do

Hello, I have this cucumber step definition: Given /^the site has pages "(.+)" and "(.+)"$/ do | page_1, page_2 | Page.create :title => page_1 if Page.find_by_title(page_1).nil? Page.create :title => page_2 if Page.find_by_title(page_2).nil? end This works, but obviously I would like to DRY it up. I was thinking along the lines. Given /^the site has pages

Hello, I''m currently working on a text-based roleplay browser game, and i''m trying to figure out what the best approach would be in order to create a system that allows me to assign roles to a user, and permissions based upon the role a user has. I''ve been thinking about creating a model User, which has_many :roles, and with the Role model which has_many :permissions.

Hi! I have an existing application, basically a very simple Hobo app. It works... When I install the Facebooker plugin and create the facebooker.yml file (with valid or fake content, doesn''t matter), the original app starts behaving strangely. The controller and view logic keeps working, but several static files stop being served from http://localhost:3000/javascripts and start being

Hi All! It''s been a while since I had to ask for help, but I''m back! I''ve finished beta testing my big app and started the transition to production. Everything went fine and the production version was working till I was asked to add another model :-( (Almost a year of beta testing and they only come up with it after moving to production :-D ) I successfully

Suppose we have a method ''foo'' which internally uses another method ''bar''. Being good BDDers we mock out the ''bar'' method. After all, we only want to spec the ''foo'' method - actually running the ''bar'' method means slower, less maintainable and brittler specs. That''s why we <3 mocking,

hello there, i have been trying my hand at this rbehave material, specifically in terms of integration testing a rails application, and i am curious about the most friendly way to deal with session data. currently, the only way i have found to simulate a session is to open a session and refer to everything afterward via the @session variable stored after open_session. it seems to be workable,

I haven''t found any How To''s to use story runner and I''m not sure how to get started. Should I be looking for resources on how to use rbehave?

I see that there is an integration testing example in the plugin code. What is the thinking about integration specs? Thanks, Steve

In using stories, I find myself wanting to build scenarios on top of each other, For example I want something like Scenario: The user logs on Given a And b When c And d Then e And f Scenario: The user changes his password Given the user logs on And g Then h In other words, I''d like to write the second scenario starting with the ''state'' produced by

Hello, Is anyone else having trouble with the and_raise method on mocks, with respect to shared behaviors? If I do the following instead: foo.should_receive(:bar).and_return { raise } everything seems to work. I have been supplying no arguments to and_raise, by the way. Also, you may want to make the background in the code examples on the home page a little lighter. I am hardly able to

I''ve just done a fresh reinstall of OS X Snow Leopard on my mac, and I''m having all kinds of problems with Rails, but the latest problem has me stumped.
