Specifying that code is called in a block
Not sure if this is possible currently.
I have a section of code like this:
ActiveRecord::Base.transaction do
cow.save!
duck.save!
dog.save!
end
(Names changed to protect the innocent.)
I''d like to specify that the saves run in a transaction. I can do
ActiveRecord::Base.should_receive(:transaction).and_yield
But is there any way to specify that the code is

Am I missing something with Heckle?
Hi
I can''t get heckle working. In fact, I''ve built an example so simple
that it either shows a bug, or I am being really, REALLY stupid.
Heckle does not appear to support RSpec directly, so I''m trying to use
spec --heckle (RSpec trunk as of 10 mins ago, Heckle 1.4.1). I''ve
constructed this pair of sample files:

Specs for Ajax partials with unicode characters
Hi
Not sure if this is more Rails or RSpec related...
I''ve got an app with an RJS view that updates a div in a page with
the contents of a partial. The partial contains a non-ascii
character namely a pound sign.
I set up a simple test app with this RJS view:
page.replace_html("test_div", :partial => "test_action")
and this _test_action.rhtml:

RSpec book?
<http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=10368>
Came across this as a stub page browsing Amazon UK. This is good
news! I''m surprised it hasn''t been discussed on the list before.
Was Chad keeping it a secret?
I hope it will have plenty of BDD theory. I''m still waiting for that

should have_tag outside Rails
Hi
Google has not helped me here. I''m looking for a way to use the have_tag
assert_select wrapper outside RSpec on Rails (but in a Rails project) so I
can use it to check text strings.
Has anyone managed this?
Thanks

Reason for _spec.rb convention
Hi
Easy one - I just wondered why all spec files for rspec_on_rails end
"_spec.rb" instead of just ".rb"? They are all inside the spec
folder so surely the fact they are specs is implicit?

Specifing methods in a steps_for block
Hey list,
I''m refactoring some much-used functionality into a common_steps step
group. Methods like this are in there:
steps_for :common do
Given "a number of existing $types?" do |type|
@initial_item_count = type.singularize.classify.constantize.count
end
When "the user adds an invalid $type" do |type|

Any plans for Before-feature or Before-all steps in Cucumber?
Hi
The code I''m working on now is a server daemon that talks to Twitter,
an RSS feed, and some web pages. I''ve got mock implementations of
Twitter and the web stuff, which I start and stop with
daemon_controller[1]. I do all the setup in a Before block, but this
makes the feature runs agonisingly slow due to the time waiting for
everything to restart. I''m

Specs of code that use Time.now
Hi
Just trying to spec a Rails model that defaults a valid_until date to
this time tomorrow. I''ve done something similar involving Dates, and
you can stub the :today method to return something fixed. But when I
tried this with Time, I found that RSpec calls Time.now four times
per spec. So there''s no way to spec code like 1.days.from_now . The
best I can come up

Preferred mock framework
Hi
In light of the fact that RSpec mocks are going into maintenance mode
in the near future, I was wondering what everyone was switching to.
I liked the look of FlexMock most, so gave that a shot. However,
there''s a few things that don''t work well with RSpec due to the
traditional differences in the way Test::Unit cases are written vs
RSpec specs. (One spec per

How is everyone structuring stories?
Bleeding-edge story-writers,
How are you structuring your specs?
I am working on a new project and tried this:
./lib
./blah
./spec
./blah
./stories
But it breaks autotest, so I moved stories parallel to lib and spec.
Also what about suffixes?
I have adopted "xyz_story_spec.rb", and "xyz.story" for the time
being, with the line

Fixture name not available as class variable in spec
Hi there,
I can''t seem to access the fixture name as a class variable from my
specs. I have to set the variable in the spec setup.

@my_fixture.id.should == 1

You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!

Can''t run RSpec files in TextMate

Not sure if this is the place to ask this or not. I''ve upgraded to

Aspects in RSpec 1.0.5
Forgot post this when I did it...
For anyone else that used the "aspect" method of the rspec-ext gem,
here''s a New World version of the code to drop into spec_helper.rb.

or two ago)

A better way to stub out constants
Hi
Something that''s gnawing at me... to avoid using the SQLite3 gem I''m
stubbing it out like this:
before(:each) do
@database = mock("SQLite3 database")
SQLite3 = Module.new
SQLite3::Database = Class.new
SQLite3::Database.stub!(:new).and_return(@database)
end
But then it keeps nagging me:

new --pattern option
Hello.
You''re saying that:
To get rspec to behave as it did before this change, use this:
--pattern "**/*.rb"
I tried like this (rspec 1.03) and it wasn''t same as before (rspec 1.08).
Now it also loads all other files in current directory and in all
subdirectories and not only from directory and subdirectories given to spec
as a parameter.
So, for example, I have

How to spec code with multiple (interacting) paths
Hi
Code with a large number of different paths is probably the biggest
problem I have right now. I''ve made a sample class that illustrates
the simplest case of one parameter that takes two values:
class DataStorer
def initialize(logger, emailer, db_updater, do_update_db_step)
@logger = logger; @emailer = emailer; @db_updater = db_updater
