There is an assert_difference helper for Test::Unit (you can read about it at http://blog.caboo.se/articles/2006/06/13/a-better- assert_difference and to some it should look familiar -- you know who you are :), so I took a shot at one for rSpec on Rails. class Object def should_be_different(method = nil, difference = nil) return self.should_not_eql(yield) if method.nil?

hi, I just started fooling around with story runner, thought I''d start with a dead simple scenario: The first thing I do when describing a site to someone is go to the home page, and begin exploring public pages from there. So, that seems like a good first story to spec out. And I''d really like to extract the actual link from the rendered page (rather than just

I want to isolate and spec methods that are shared by controllers, and live in application.rb. Whereas I usually also provide examples in individual controllers that use these methods, not necessarily all the edge cases and I''d like to isolate the examples. This is the approach I''m taking (thanks to bryanl for suggestions and http://pastie.caboo.se/123626). WDYT? This

Hello all, I''m currently having an issue with some specs, specifically scope issues (probably more of a scope issue than a spec issue at this point)... Here''s the error: ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch in ''A new User should know what role it has'' Role expected, got NilClass D:/ruby/projects/restful_authentication_test/config/../app/models/role.rb:5:in

Hi, My helper specs were going ok until I added a call to a rails DateHelper method in one of my helpers http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/ DateHelper.html#M000574 The helper runs fine from my view templates, just dies in the spec test. I boiled my question down to a simple (not too useful) example. I''m not sure what I''m missing. #

Hi all, I feel like I''m missing something really easy and I''m just not seeing it. I''m using the restful_authentication plugin and have a User model. Uesr has_many :things and Thing belongs_to :user. That''s it. I did a "script/generate rspec_scaffold thing" to generate all the necessary bits. The "rake db:migrate" to create the db. At

Here''s a controller spec I wrote, it''s for a very simple RESTful controller (well, aren''t all RESTful controllers simple? :) I''ve created a couple spec helper methods to refactor some of the common code...for example, require_login_and_correct_user creates two specifications: one for when the user isn''t logged in, and one when the user is logged in but

Hi everyone, I''m trying this in my helper spec and it didn''t work: @curr_odontogram.should_receive(''photos[1]'').and_return(@photo) and the error is: SyntaxError in ''PersonHelper Deberia devolverme un link para eliminar una foto'' compile error /home/gramos/src/rails/r-dental/config/../vendor/plugins/rspec/lib/spec/mocks/proxy.rb:99: syntax

Hi, I am deploying a Rails website using Capistrano to a VPS running the site through Apache and Mongrel. ''cap deploy'' works fine, and mongrels are restarted. When I execute ''cap deploy:rollback'', however, my script fails to restart the mongrels giving this error: !!! PID file tmp/pids/mongrel.5000.pid already exists. Mongrel could be running already.

Hello Guys. I''m upgrading a project from 0.9.8 to 1.0.8, following this procedure: * Removed vendor/plugins/rspec* completely. * installed rspec and rspec_on_rails from svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/tags/REL_1_0_8 * Run script/generate rspec to update spec_helper and spec.opts Now, when running rake, get the following error: superclass mismatch for class Annotation The following

So I have message model and each user has many messages. When I run user.messages in the console it returns correctly, however in the test it returns and empty collection? Any thoughts.

I tried to install RedCloth-3.274 in jruby (trunk) but the install failed when RedCloth tried to build the C code using mkmf: I forget whether SuperRedcloth ever did build in JRuby?? I know Hpricot (which also uses ragel which can compile to Java code) works in JRuby -- with the patch here: https://code.whytheluckystiff.net/hpricot/ticket/131) I might be confusing the two ... FYI: If you

I have a spec which is failing, but I just can''t say why. Maybe I''m missing something painfully obvious? Here is the pastie of the results & the spec: http://pastie.caboo.se/42626 The spec to look for is "should have an array of users" I''ve printed out ("puts''ed") to the terminal the fact that the values are *opposite* to what

Hello to the list and thanks to Aaron for the cool software. I''ve been fooling around with Mechanize and Hpricot for a couple of days and from the docs I''ve read, the following code SHOULD work but doesn''t. I''ve tried the same code on a couple of different sites and I get the same exception for each. Any pointers or suggestions are appreciated.

I haven''t been spec''ing lately, but been hopping back on and adding autotest. However I get an error: http://pastie.caboo.se/177538/wrap I also noticed a post by Scott and there was mention of rspec_autotest. Is this is what everyone is using? http://svn.caldersphere.net/svn/main/plugins/rspec_autotest/

I''ve just been tying my brain in knots looking at bug #8687 ( http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=8687&group_id=1917&atid=7477 ). I''ve been (1) trying to work out whether there is anything logically wrong with Mocha''s existing behaviour and (2) whether Mocha should support the requested functionality. It all centres around the use of the
