I spent the last couple of days getting my sea legs with Rails and RSpec. I''d been waiting til things seemed calmer before jumping in, and I''m overall very happy with my experience so far. My only real annoyance so far has been forgetting to call "do_post" or "do_create" from my specify blocks. My mocks don''t get the calls they want, and it usually

My problem has been listed here: http://railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?pid=25439#p25439 Don''t think it would be required to completely re-type it here :) Thanks! -- -Daniel Fischer http://danielfischer.com - Geek Blog http://abigfisch.com - Portfolio http://writersbeat.com - Writing Community

I wrote this abomination just now, and wonder if anyone else has had experience with the pattern behind it. In short, I''m specing an after_create hook on an ActiveRecord model, that calls a bunch of private methods. Instead of stubbing all those private methods (which is verboten anyway, as well as impossible because creating the object which owns those methods is what I''m

I''m curious, Christian Neukirchen has released test/unit[1] that seems to mirror much of RSpec, but built on Test::Unit, so in some ways less brittle from a Rails-integration perspective, and also allowing you to mix the two together as appropriate. So, has anyone made an informed comparison? I''m new enough that I don''t really know the finer points yet. The syntax is

Hi All I''m having some problems running my view specs when using simply_helpful. I have it semi-working via the following: module SimplyHelpfulHelper def self.included(base) base.send :include, SimplyHelpful::RecordIdentificationHelper base.send :include, SimplyHelpful::RecordTagHelper end end context "The index template" do setup do @shift =

Am I correct in remembering that autotest (with Test::Unit) would rerun all the tests if a subset of the tests passed? If so, shouldn''t this behaviour also be present in rspec''s autotest library? Scott

Hi, I have a project that I had running under rspec 0.6.x and recently upgraded to 0.7.2. I am trying to isolate my controllers from the database as I go through and change all the specs to run under 0.7.2. I am having a problem where I need to make the create! method return the mocked object as well as raise RecordInvalid exception. Is this at all possible? I use the rescue statement in my

I have a mock object (Person) that is associated with another object (my_object) through a belongs_to association. When I check whether my_object is valid (my_object.should be_valid), I am getting an error like the following: Mock "Person_6338" received unexpected message :marked_for_destruction? with (no args) Checking the list of methods on the mock,

Is anyone using RSpec with RESTful rails apps? In my rails controllers I check request.respond_to? and render different views accordingly. I noticed that the get method in the rails plugin doesn''t accept headers: controller_mixin.rb line 92 def get(action, parameters = nil) @request.env[''REQUEST_METHOD''] = ''GET'' process action,

Is anyone using rspec with autotest? Scott

I am testing a resource called venue in this piece of code (generated using script/rspec_resource) ==================== context "Requesting /venues using POST" do controller_name :venues setup do @mock_venue = mock(''Venue'') @mock_venue.stub!(:save).and_return(true) @mock_venue.stub!(:to_param).and_return(1) Venue.stub!(:new).and_return(@mock_venue)

Hi all, We''re thinking about retiring the test2spec translation tool because it''s becoming a maintenance problem. Is anyone using it? Would anyone miss it if it went away? Aslak

All, If you look at http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=6760&group_id=797&atid=3149 you''ll see that Chad (the submitter) found the source of the bug. Unfortunately, the source of *this* bug is the *solution* to a *previous bug* in which Rails was replacing RSpec''s method missing with its own. When we settled on underscores, my one reservation was

Hello How can I test equality with two objects when they include some attribute that is BigDecimal? if I make something like this: it "should ...whatever" do obj = Factory.create(:my_object) ... MyObject.first.should == obj end. FAILS This fails because the object expected is different from the object gotten, and the only difference are the BigDecimal attributes, that are

I''ve asked this before, but never got a working response. I''d like to store an object inside a binary field in my db. So I''d have a class like this class MyAwesomeClass def do_something_awesome ... end end then class MyRecord < ActiveRecord::Base end the table my_record would have a binary field, my_object, that would store an object of

Hello - I''m currently trying to write some specs for my rails views. My views depend upon the restful authentication plugin method logged_in? Like so, <% if logged_in? %> <ul id="product-admin-nav"> <dd><%= link_to "create a new product", new_product_url %></dd> </ul> <% end %> However, when I have the following

I''ve notice that a project like Rubinius has both a spec & a test directory. Rspec has only a spec directory. Obviously I support BDD, but isn''t there also a place for state based/verification testing? I sometimes sense that I *do* want to practice Test Driven Development. That is, I want some assurance that my production code will run as intended. But I also

Hi All, I''m trying to use a form to upload a photo that I will save using attachment_fu. I''m very new to Facebookr so I apologize if this is covered somewhere, but I''m kind of stumped. Here''s what I''m doing now: <% facebook_form_for(:my_object, :url => { :action => ''upload_photo'', :id => params[:id] }, :html => {

Hy guys, Inside my app I have a form which contains user information. Sometimes a have a form with a text_field as above: <%= form_remote_tag(:html => { :action => url_for(:controller => "my_controller", :action => "my_action") }) %> <%= text_field(''my_object'', ''my_parameter'', :maxlength =>

I''m trolling for example RSpec code. Any pointers appreciated. Cheers, Obie
