Good morning rspec people! Still rspec nuby: I must do something wrong obviously. How can I spec about redirect_to at ApplicationController describe ApplicationController do it "method login_required should redirect to home path without login" do pending "I tried to use controller.login_required.should be_redirected and got NoMethodError with nil object

Hi! I wonder does anybody planning to go beyond the default html formatter/report? The current html report is nice and green but what about to go a little silly and enable also user input. For example to let customer to add a new pending spec, comments etc. I feel it might be mentally easier for some customers to jump into spec world when it is possible to give input at "the same

Hi! Having some wine on Saturday and just playing around writing some ruby script: * have you spec any ''system'' method? As long I know it just returns false or true and everything else is just out of reach; prove me I''m wrong :-) it ''should have response with 64.233.167.99'' system ''ping google.com'' Priit

Hi! Can anybody link to some ror based project what is using rspec, so nuby as me can learn from it. So it should have updated and practising advanced rspec. After reading last threat about "testing behaviour or testing code?", I just realised that I would definitely learn something from app like that. Some casual googling didn''t help me this time. Thanks! Priit at

OK, so i''ve played a bit with mocks and mock_models in controller and view tests and i have a question. Is this statement really correct: "We highly recommend that you exploit the mock framework here rather than providing real model objects in order to keep the view specs isolated from changes to your models." (http://rspec.rubyforge.org/documentation/rails/writing/views.html

Hi! I''m using cucumber + selenium and I love it. However I''m looking to add some methods (example: click_and_wait etc) to the lib. Therefore looked around a bit and I got two questions: Firstly about rspec-ui, I''m a little confused, does rspec-ui overlap with its propose with webrat with cucumber or I''m missing a point? Secondly, are there any plans to

I saw in one of Dave C.''s comments to a ticket that "our current plan is to deprecate the mocking framework." I hadn''t heard anything about that, but then again I haven''t paid super close attention to the list. Are we planning on dumping the mock framework in favor of using Mocha (or any other framework one might want to plug in?). Pat

Hello Rspecers, I have a rails project where I am calling Resolv::DNS.open and then using the block to check a domain name. The code snippet in question is: domain = "mytest.com" Resolv::DNS.open do |dns| @mx = dns.getresources(domain, Resolv::DNS::Resource::IN::MX) end I obviously want to stub this out, especially for speed but can''t quite work out how. I

Hello, I recently made a feature request with a patch for terser mocks. http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=10412&group_id=1917&atid=7480 Here are some examples with their current equivalents: the_mock.expects.foo(1,2) {|a, b| :bar} the_mock.expects.foo(1,2).returns(:bar) the_mock.expects(:foo).with(1,2) {|a, b| :bar} the_mock.expects(:foo).with(1,2).returns(:bar)

hi all I have the following code in a spec: @user = mock("user") User.stub!(:authenticate).and_return(@user) @user.should_receive(:id).once.and_return(99) post :login, {:username => ''username'', :password => ''password''} session[:user_id].should == 99 it works as expected but I get the following warning when I run the spec: warning:

What is the general opinion about fixtures versus mocking and stubbing in model specs? I heard from agile on IRC that they save the database testing for integration testing, but I also see that the caboose sample applicaiton uses fixtures. I also noticed that on the rspec site, it says "Ironically (for the traditional TDD''er) these are the only specs that we feel should actually

I''ve just started doing TDD/BDD and like the idea of mocks. So I set out to use them. The doc pages seem great, I setup the mock and then it just works. Here is what I am trying to do: Myuser is a non-rails model of user attributes. We are going to be mocking the connection to the ldap server. The user class has a login method that connects to the ldap server and if successful,

Hey all - The trunk currently supports three types of mocking/stubbing: Mock Objects (created dynamically at runtime) Partial Mocking of methods on existing classes Stubbing of methods on existing objects or classes The main difference between Partial Mocking and Stubbing is that Stubs don''t verify. I''m wondering if we really need the stubbing facility at all, given that we

My app uses account_location to set up subdomains as account keys. In my controllers, all my model operations are scoped through the @current_person object. The question is: How do I test this with RSpec''s mocking and stubbing? Basically, I need to test that @current_person.things is getting the find message and returning @thing. I''ve tried stubbing and mocking

Hi All. I am trying to set-up observe_field so that it uses the GET method (To work with a RESTful controller). <%= link_to_remote("Test", :update => "main", :url => { :controller => "projects", :action => "show", :id => "3"}, :method => "get" ) %> <%= observe_field("project_selector", :update

Hey all, Here''s a question for everyone: how do you keep your mocks and stubs consistent with your real objects? I''m dipping my toes into the RSpec world, and it''s absolutely delightful (running dozens of tests in less than a second is nice as well), but I''m concerned about my ability to keep the mocks in my specs consistent with the behavior of their

hi I''m using restful_authentication and have controller specs working using users fixtures (and login_as) however i''ve been trying for hours without success to do it without fixtures, using mocks and stubs instead. anyone here done this? got code? :) thanks

A colleague just came in and asked me about a problem he was having with stub_render, which reminded me of another issue he had a week or so ago, which seems related. Let me start with the earlier issue. He was trying to write specs for a method which sends the same message possibly multiple times, but with different arguments under different calling conditions. He wanted to write

Hi, I''m pretty new to Rspec, so hope someone can help me out with this. I''m leveraging a couple pre-existing applications in my current project, both have fairly robust test suites in Rspec already. However, one is using Rspec''s builit in mocking, and the other is using mocha. If I set config.mock_with mocha in spec_helper.rb, then all of the rspec mocks fail. If I

Anyone ever uses test/mocks/development && test/mocks/test directories ? If someone does, test/mocks/development doesn''t really seem like a nice place for putting development environment mocked classes. May be mocks/ should be moved to RAILS_ROOT ? Or may be it should be removed. Views ? -- Cheers! - Pratik http://m.onkey.org
