similar to: expect_render twice in views

Hi: I am a rspec beginner. I have scratched my head for the whole afternoon, trying to figure out a way of writing render expectation in controller spec. However, I failed. It kept telling me that the ''expect_render'' was an undefined method. I have installed rspec 1.0.8 and rspec_on_rails as well. Below is the controller to be tested. Controller def index pre

I''m using RSpec on Rails and would like to clean up the backtraces, so I went looking for an RSpec equivalent to ThoughtBot''s Quiet Backtrace gem<http://thoughtbot.com/projects/quietbacktrace>. I found Spec::Runner::QuietBacktraceTweaker in the RDOCS, but I can''t figure out how to use it. Can I add something to spec_helper.rb that will utilize

I just read ''Mocks Aren''t Stubs'' and was intrigued by the notion of ''outside-in'' TDD. As a Rails developer, I''m curious if others are employing this method when developing Rails applications using RSpec. Is it common practice (or even practical) to drive the development of a Rails app by starting with view specs, then controller specs, then

Hi, A controller has a method with the following def update ... if @config.update_attributes( params[:new_config] ) redirect_to :action => :index else * render :action => :edit, :id => params[:id] # this line here* end ... end The example has the following it ''should render the "edit" config url on an unsuccessful save''

Hi, I''m trying to spec a controller method which renders some rjs as part of a render :update block. The problem I''m having is that stub_render or expect_render don''t seem to allow and_return to work. The controller method does: if @thing.save render :update do |page| page.insert_html :bottom,

rspec_resource_generator ======================== By Pat Maddox Use this generator to generate RESTful scaffolding with RSpec specifications. Syntax is exactly the same as the scaffold_resource generator: ./script/generate rspec_resource ModelName [field:type field:type] When you run this generator, it will create a migration, model, and model spec file. In addition, it gives you a RESTful

Trunksters, I just added a couple of methods to ActionView::Base in Spec::Rails (as of r2136) that lets you do this in view examples: describe ''/things/index.html.erb'' do it "should render _thing with a collection of things" do assigns[:things] = things = [Object.new] template.expect_render(:partial => ''thing'', :collection => things)

My spec; describe ''subnav rendering while logged in'' do before do template.stub!(:logged_in?).and_return(true) template.stub! (:current_profile).at_least(:once).and_return(mock_profile) end def do_render render "/homepages/show.html.erb" end it "should render the logged in partial for homepages" do

There is a warning on the web site about expect_render and stub_render: "WARNING: expect_render and stub_render, while very useful, act differently from standard Message Expectations (a.k.a. mock expectations), which would never pass calls through to the real object. This can be very confusing when there are failures if you''re not aware of this fact, because some calls will be

Hi all, In my view specs (for Rails), how can I get at instance variables that are set within my view? For example, if my view looks like this: <% @header = "My Header" -%> <div>some content</div> How can I get to @header from within my view spec? I''ve tried @header and assigns[:header] to no avail. TIA, Jeremy -- Jeremy Stephens Computer Systems

I''m currently working on some RSpec view tests and I''m having problems with expect_render. Most of the expect_render''s work fine, but in one of my views I have: <%= render :partial => "user_cloud", :locals => {:user => @featured_user} %> I see that expect_render supports ":object" or ":collection" for the second

Hello, I have recently upgraded to the 0.8.2 release of rSpec, and I am receiving the following message with each view spec execution: WARNING: there is no transaction in progress I have upgraded the rspec_on_rails plugin as well, and both the model and controller tests are working flawlessly. Is there some simple step I missed? thanks for the input. -Chris -------------- next part

Hi there, I''ve been working with RSpec for about a week now, and the process of moving from a Test::Unit + Mocha setup to an RSpec + Mocha environment has been pretty straightforward. Except, I''m having problems with using template.expect_render. I have Mocha enabled with: > config.mock_with :mocha in spec_helper. And then I have a view spec which looks like this:

Hello, I have a controller action that raises a RecordNotFound exception if you''re not allowed to see something. In my global application controller (application.rb), I catch these and render the 404 template. But when I run cucumber (using webrat), it''s getting the full stacktrace (the step blows up). Any ideas why? I have consider_all_requests_local turned off in my test.rb.

Mocha''s mock/stub framework has the ability to stub all methods on a mock given. Does RSpec''s mocking framework have this ability? And if not, is there some reason it shouldn''t be implemeneted? Regards, Scott

Hi all, I released RSpec 0.7.4 yesterday, and by now the gems should have rsync''ed to all the mirrors. This release features a complete redesign of the reports generated with --format html. You can see some examples of it here: http://rspec.rubyforge.org/report.html http://rspec.rubyforge.org/tools/failing_examples.html As usual there are many bug fixes - mostly related to spec/rails.

hi, first time trying rspec, and rails edge. Are there any known issues running rspec with rails edge? for one, apparently script/generate scaffold_resource has been renamed just "resource". Do I just search/replace "scaffold_resource" with "resource" in file rspec_resource_generator.rb ? Somethings still missing. before i get "Couldn''t find

I want to use ActiveResource in my app. Instead of hitting server though, I want it to load from a file when I call find. Any clue how I do that? Pat
