similar to: RSpec 1.0

Hello, I''m scheduled to give a rspec brown bag this Wednesday (11/22) for my company (Pivotal Computer Systems, http://www.pivotalsf.com). I did see Dave Astel''s talk as well as several of my coworkers. The developers at my workplace are experienced Agile developers. What would be some good things to focus on for this brown bag? Are there slides to presentations that would be

Hi all - I''ve applied (to trunk) Bob Cotton''s patch which supports shared behaviours (link to tracker below). I''m still toying w/ names, so please be aware that until this is released w/ 0.9 it should be considered experimental and there will NOT be translation support for it. It will definitely be included in some form - just the names (specifically

Hello, Is there a way to set the html element id for the form_tag and form_remote_tag on the server side? I want to have this resultant html... <form id=''something'' ... ... </form> Thank you, Brian Takita

Hello, I submitted a patch <http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/3287> ( http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/3287) a couple of days ago. The patch adds some methods into and changes the existing methods in the CaptureHelper module. It should not, as I can see, affect any existing Rails implementations. I added the relevant unit tests and all but one of the tests pass. The test that fails failed

Hi all, In GOOS[1] they use an assertion called assertEventually which samples the system for a success state until a certain timeout has elapsed. This allows you to synchronise the tests with asynchronous code. Do we have an equivalent of that in the Ruby / RSpec world already? I know capybara has wait_until { } but that''s fairly rudimentary - the failure message isn''t very

Hi all, How can I use spec fixtures with rails integration tests ? I''ve tried adding {{ fixtures "../../spec/fixtures/myfixture" }} to the integration test but the fixtures are not loaded when I run the rake task. Rails doesn''t load symlinked fixtures either so I copied the files from spec/fixtures for the time being. Not very DRY. Any ideas ? Keith

Hello, I deployed a Rails App using Switchtower and now I''m getting a Routing Error to my Javascript and Stylesheet files. Has anybody else had this issue? Here is the log file. > ActionController::RoutingError (Recognition failed for > "/javascripts/prototype.js"): > /vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/routing.rb:470:in >

Brian Takita committed revision 1000 last night. I don''t know what that means - but it seems like an interesting milestone. Congrats to Brian for hitting 1000. Congrats and thank to all of those who have contributed by providing ideas, code, feedback, or simply using rspec and spreading the love. Cheers, David

Hi Aslak, Thanks for the help. That bug is fixed in trunk. Here''s my path to recovery ... $ svn co svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/trunk ~/tmp/rspec $ cd ~/tmp/rspec $ rake gem $ sudo gem install pkg/rspec-0.7.3.gem $ ./script/plugin install --force svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/trunk/vendor/rspec_on_rails/vendor/plugins/rspec $ ./script/generate rspec (required to regenerate

Hello, I recently made a feature request with a patch for terser mocks. http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=10412&group_id=1917&atid=7480 Here are some examples with their current equivalents: the_mock.expects.foo(1,2) {|a, b| :bar} the_mock.expects.foo(1,2).returns(:bar) the_mock.expects(:foo).with(1,2) {|a, b| :bar} the_mock.expects(:foo).with(1,2).returns(:bar)

The RSpec Development Team is pleased as glug (that''s kind of like punch, but more festive) to announce RSpec-1.1.0. Thanks to all who have contributed patches over the last few months. Big thanks to Dan North and Brian Takita for their important work on this release. Dan contributed his rbehave framework which is now the Story Runner. Brian patiently did a TON of refactoring around

I figured most of it out. The Spec::Rails stuff was something in the code which has been fixed by revision 3099. The test methods partially make sense. Since the test/unit code has been integrated, methods with test in them are automatically turned into specs. However, the test? method is in a lib file that isn''t directly loaded into the specs. It is a convenience method: def

We generally get our voicemails emailed to us from asterisk, but some people's messages are extraordinarily loud or quiet. I don't suppose there is any feature to even out the volume level is there?

Back in August David Chelimsky wrote: "FYI - I tried using the unit_record gem and there are some changes required in rspec to make it work, but they are trivial and it works great. The only trick is that the prevention of DB access is global per process, so you''d have to separate examples that hit the DB from those that don''t into two separate suites. I''ll explore

Has Rails 2.1.0 changed the loading precedence? Does it now use a gem in preference to a plugin if both are available? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B. Byrne

rspec version 1.2.0 has been released! Behaviour Driven Development for Ruby. Changes: ### Version 1.2.0 WARNINGS: * If you use the ruby command to run specs instead of the spec command, you''ll need to require ''spec/autorun'' or they won''t run. This won''t affect you if you use the spec command or the Spec::Rake::SpecTask that ships with

Was Chad keeping it a secret? I hope it will have plenty of BDD theory. I''m still waiting for that magic book I can give to someone and say "here - read this, it

I really like the idea of Mock Proxies as explained in Brian Takita''s post here: http://pivots.pivotallabs.com/users/brian/blog/articles/352-introducing-rr I posted to this list eariler with an incomplete implementation of .stops_mocking in the thread "Mocking Time, delegating to original object." The Mock Proxy pattern would make this simpler.

I''m using Mechanize to parse an extraordinarily malformed html page. After submitting a form like so: page = mech.submit(dform) The result I get back is truncated. I suspect that it''s because the source HTML looks like this: <html> <head> yadda yadda</head> <p>some text</p> <html> <table yadda yadda> My
