RSpec-ers: I''m aware this is quite the FAQ. I have probably asked it myself, but I just can''t Google up anything but others asking it. I grabbed the source to Beast, to use as a Rails project uninfluenced by me, or RSpec. Then I installed the CURRENT version of RSpec and rspec_on_rails, and set up a model spec on Post. Here''s the spec_helper.rb lines:

My app is builded with rails 2.3.12, rspec-rails 1.3.2, webrat 0.7.3. My spec_helper.rb ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= ''test'' require File.expand_path(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__),''..'',''config'',''environment'')) require ''spec/autorun'' require ''spec/rails'' require

I have a bunch of fixtures designed to populate the database for my Cucumber integration tests. But at this stage I want my database to be empty when using Rspec. So, I moved the fixtures from `/spec/fixtures` to `features/support/fixtures`, and updated `features/support/env.rb` to read: Fixtures.reset_cache fixtures_folder = File.join(RAILS_ROOT, ''features'',

I just updated my Rails install to the most current Edge and my controller specs fail: 1) TypeError in ''The User Controller should be a user controller'' can''t convert nil into String Each spec fails the same way. <context string> <spec string> can''t convert nil into String Any ideas what''s up with this? Thanks, s.ross

Hey Guys, I''ve got a test class that loads a bunch of fixtures. My understanding is that fixtures are reloaded between each test... and I even have the following two method calls at the top of my test class to make doubly sure... class TaskTest < Test::Unit::TestCase self.use_transactional_fixtures = true self.use_instantiated_fixtures = false When I run my tests

Hi, I''m trying to setup a mock for my controller test but I can''t get it to recognise the mock. I use it "should find all users" do User.should_receive(:find).with( :all, :limit => 10 ).and_return([@user]) do_get end and in the controller @users = User.find(:all, :limit => 10 ) But this does not work. It gives me User expected :find with (:all)

Hello, After moving into the HEAD of rspec, I am greeted with a mountain of errors, which I expected, due to my specs not being migrated. I use hpricot for a lot of my view tests, as it is extremely simple to traverse the DOM with it. I used to include HpricotSpecHelper in spec_helper.rb, like so: require ''hpricot_spec_helper'' module Spec module Rails module Runner

Hi all, I just hit a big wall involving a legacy database. I''ve got an active record class called "School" that uses "set_table_name ''old_school''" to map to a legacy database table: class School < ActiveRecord::Base set_table_name ''old_school'' end It works great, until I''m testing and I want to use fixtures.

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 all, This testing problem has been a sink for time today, and is still unresolved. Basically I have some unit tests that test simple functions (example below) that depend on join operations in a habtm relationship, and I suspect I am getting "false" failures, i.e ones that do not logically make any sense. I need fresh sets of eyes to take a look and see if I''m mising

Hi We have specs in our rails project other than model/view/controller .. we have interests and lib ... using use_transactional_fixtures = true seems fine in a spec in the m/ v/c and interests directories but not in lib Just wondered if anyone had any quick thoughts as to why that may be???

I am running Rails 1.1.2 with Ruby 1.82-15. My database is Postgresql. I haven''t had any problems generating models, migrations, using scaffolds, and generally building and using my application, but I haven''t been able to get testing to work. I initially just ignored the problem and kept developing, but would like to add proper testing from here on out. Currently when I type

Hi, [This is a repost, I can?t find where went my previous post, ] I wanted to create subdirectories in the fixtures directory in order to be able to manage many different initial states for my system (or to sort fixtures / corresponding model subpackages). I came up with the idea of writing: Test::Unit::TestCase.fixture_path = RAILS_ROOT + "/test/fixtures/selling"

I am trying to perform a test unit, using FactoryGirl include ActionDispatch::TestProcess FactoryGirl.define do factory :article do ....... photo { fixture_file_upload ''/files/test.jpg'', ''image/jpg'' } end end IN mt test_helper.rb I defined the fixture_path def fixture_path File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/fixtures/" #

Hello everyone: Right now I am writing spec on modules, which are provided by my colleagues. Some of the modules actually contain action methods. I tried very hard to spec those action methods in modules. But it seems that the rspec does not allow module spec to ''get'' action like controller does. After I saw the documentation, I then used :behaviour_type=>:controller.

Hi! I would really like to find a way to allow me to write RSpec specifications for code that use database transactions. I know I can set config.use_transactional_fixtures = false in my spec_helper.rb. That works, and that''s great, but it will (I think) slow down my specs quite a bit. I would like to turn off transactional fixtures for just a single spec (describe), or even

Hello, I''m currently working on a text-based roleplay browser game, and i''m trying to figure out what the best approach would be in order to create a system that allows me to assign roles to a user, and permissions based upon the role a user has. I''ve been thinking about creating a model User, which has_many :roles, and with the Role model which has_many :permissions.

Hi All! It''s been a while since I had to ask for help, but I''m back! I''ve finished beta testing my big app and started the transition to production. Everything went fine and the production version was working till I was asked to add another model :-( (Almost a year of beta testing and they only come up with it after moving to production :-D ) I successfully
