similar to: DRY specs for RESTful controllers

I am extremely proud to put the code up live for make_resourceful! I have been astonished by the positive feedback I''ve been receiving since our talk at this year''s RailsConf. So much pressure to get this thing out! If you haven''t heard about it... then check out my slides from railsconf http://www.hamptoncatlin.com/assets/2007/5/21/make_resourceful.pdf or listen to the

Hi folks, Can anyone share some accumulated wisdom about the best way to spec mixins in general, and (Jamis Buck-style) ActiveRecord "concerns" in particular? The standard situation here is that there''s a bunch of functionality, related by concept if not by implementation, that one wants to inherit in many different classes (e.g. ActiveRecord models) without having to

Hi, I''m really new to rails, so i programmed some stuff and today i read some things about skinny Controllers, fat models. My Controllers are really fat now. So i''m asking myself how can i shrink my controllers and move the code to the models, especially in fact of REST e.g. in focus on error codes? code example: # POST /tasks # POST /tasks.xml def create @authorized

I have a lot of controllers with virtually identical functionality for most actions. I''ve been using shared behaviours to DRY things up a bit, but I still have to create separate behaviours for each context before I can use the shared behaviours what I have now is a generic file which contains all the behaviours and examples common to all the controllers, and that file gets loaded from

I''ve just stumbled (literally, while I was trying to fix a glitch I was having after upgrading Aegis...) on the Inherited Resources gem... why did no-one tell me?! ;-) Is everyone else using some form of controller base-class?

Hi I just wondered if there was a reason why Rails controller specs are not shareable? eg describe "All XHR POSTs to /gap/calculate_quote", :shared => true do controller_name :gap # ... end describe "XHR POST /gap/calculate_quote with valid details" do it_should_behave_like "All XHR POSTs to /gap/calculate_quote" # ... end blows up with

The Rails ApplicationController (app/controllers/application.rb) serves as an abstract superclass for all other controllers in a Rails application and is a good place to put methods and filters which you want all of your controllers to use. In my case I''m using it to provide methods such as "current_user" and "logged_in?" etc. By default, RSpec

Does anyone know how to install Xen 3 on Ubuntu. Today, apt-get install xen 4.1, but I think Eucalyptus 3.1.2 only work with Xen 3.

I''m trying to use it_should_behave_like, and something seems to be wonky with the syntax. When I add :shared=>true, the DSL complains that the next line is the fixture declaration: /vendor/plugins/rspec/lib/spec/dsl/behaviour_eval.rb:137:in `method_missing'': undefined method `fixtures'' for #<Spec::DSL::EvalModule:0x324a2cc> (NoMethodError) Here''s the

Hello, Has anyone already come up with a set of shared behaviours that someone could leverage when adhering to a CRUD concept, with respect to controllers? Relatedly, it would be nice if there were a way to share generalized behaviour specs. -Chris

hi, i want to make a behavior shared between models, the examples need to create new instances etc. Is there a way to pass the model class to the shared behavior? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Given the following ApplicationController specs: describe ApplicationController, "one facet", :shared => true do it ''foo'' ... it ''bar'' ... end describe ApplicationController, "some other facet", :shared => true do it ''abc'' ... it ''xyz'' ... end describe

Hi, how is it possible that I can use the restful routes helpers (e.g. new_user_path) in controller specs? I browsed the source code but I couldn''t find the magic. I''m just curious and would appreciate any hint... thanks Andi

Hi all. I am trying to work with restful rails and have come across a quandry with observe_field. I basically want the observe field to call a show action on a restful controller. However I am unable to do so because I cannot get the damn thing to use the get request properly. If I use the following: <%= observe_field("project_selector", :update =>

Hi everyone I want to have two restful controllers for the same resource (Users) One controller (UsersController) is straight in the controllers folder and is used for singup and so on Then i need another controller for users which is inside an admin folder (Admin::UsersController) In my routes.rb i have map.resources :users # Sample resource route within a namespace: map.namespace

Hi List, I''m trying to get my grip on the restful methods that are now part of edge rails. Making the first steps was impressive as well as easy because there are already great resources on the blogs of early adopters: http://www.ryandaigle.com/articles/2006/08/01/whats-new-in-edge-rails-simply-restful-support-and-how-to-use-itand

Hi, What''s the best way to add support for the activeresource find method in the controllers in my rails app? As I understand it when you invoke something like: Person.find(:all, :params => {:name = ''toby''}) this generates a request of: GET /people.xml?name=toby Does this mean that in my index method in PeopleController in my rails app I have params[name] set to

Hi, i''m reading the administrator guide of xcp, http://www.xen.org/files/XenCloud/reference.pdf, and it''s say that workload load balacing is possible (like citrix xenessiential).

OK, so I have compiled 4.2rc2 in a VM to test it. Now I thought that by using the new winbindd a lot of the old problems would be gone. I have created a new user, given him a uidNumber and the loginShell & unixHomeDirectory attributes, I have also given Domain Users a gidNumber. if I run 'getent passwd rowland' , I get this: rowland:*:10000:10000:Rowland

Hi, I want to be able to get at the described class in my shared behaviour. I''m sure an example will say it better than my words describe "my shared", :shared => true do it "should tell me what the class is its describing" do how_do_i_get_the_user_class_here end end describe User do it_should_behave_like "my shared" #... end So in my
