similar to: slow execution times using spec_server

Hey guys, I''m running spec_server and using --drb with my specs in Rails, and I''m seeing virtually no speed up. I''m using rspec/rspec_on_rails trunk. Is there something I''m doing wrong? TIA, Jeremy -- Jeremy Stephens Computer Systems Analyst I School of Medicine Department of Biostatistics Vanderbilt University

hi all I''m trying to use spec_server to run my specs in rails, but the specs don''t seem to be running any faster, and it looks like they''re being run twice when I use the --drb option ..? The app I''m testing is just a basic rails app with 2 empty models and a hello world controller. The specs are just the default ones created by the generators. I was

I have some specs that ''require'' other files. When running spec_server, if these required files are changed, it''s not picked up when the specs are run. I have to restart spec_server to get the changes recognized. Is there an option or some such to have spec_server reload required files as well when a spec is run? Thanks, Steve

Is the rspec_autotest plugin mentioned here, http://blog.nicksieger.com/articles/2006/11/15/rspec-autotest-now-a-rails-plugin the accepted method of auto testing specs? It''s an old article, and after grabbing the plugin, and giving it a run, it fails with: $ rake spec:autotest:rails trunk/vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails/lib/spec/rails/dsl/behaviour/rails_example.rb:31: undefined method

Hello, I''ve been trying to google the definitive way to combine autotest, rspec, and spec-server, but to no avail. It seems like there are lots of suggestions from old versions. Furthermore, some commands such as rake:autotest don''t seem to be around anymore. So, is it required to install ZenTest as a gem? I have version 3.9.1. I believe this gets me the autotest

Hello, Running RSpec without DRB works fine. However, "spec -X" runs without error but provides no output at all, even though the DRB spec_server seems to be fine. Has anyone got some suggestions as to why and how to fix?

Hi all, What would be the best/easiest way of installing rspec as a system wide generator so I''m not having to download it or ./script/plugin install it every time?

When do these files, along with lib/spec and lib/spec_server get created? I tried to create a quick test project and can''t remember how they were created in a previous project. Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Has the should_... syntax changed? I''m getting errors when running the following: should_render(:index) should_be_valid should_not_be_valid should_respond_to should_be should_render I thought the syntax changed to something like the following: obj.should render(:index) but this doesn''t seem to work.

hi all a few days ago i reported spec_server didn''t appear to be running specs and the command itself was running slowly. I''ve since tried it on a new system with a clean install of ubuntu 7.04, rails 1.2.3 and rspec 1.0.2 and I''m seeing the same behavior. *** without spec_server *** x at holly:~/rails/test$ time ruby script/spec spec/models/user_spec.rb .

Just ran svn up this morning, and got this (after running ./script/ generate rspec) escher: ./script/spec spec/models/item_spec.rb Finished in 8.0e-06 seconds 0 examples, 0 failures ./script/spec:4:in `run'': wrong number of arguments (3 for 1) (ArgumentError) from ./script/spec:4 Using rails 1.2.3, rspec trunk, on Mac OS X.4.9. Any ideas, or is this a bug in

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 have looked through the docs, looked at the code, even gave a cursory (2 page) glance at google, and it is not clear to me what SpecServer is or what it is for. Is it meant to speed up the execution of specs in a rails environment by doing some magic on the database? Or I am thinking it keeps a copy of Rails running to avoid the rails reload delay... Is there any documentation on this so I

Hi everyone. I can''t get the above(subject line) combination to work. If I use a standard sqlite3 file db for the test db, and spec_server all the specs on my models pass. If I use an in-memory db for the test db, script/spec w/o spec_server, they all pass. But if I use in-memory and spec_server I get the following error: 1) ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in ''User should be

We''d like to get some feedback on RSpec 0.9 before we start pushing out releases via Rubyforge''s gem server and update the website. We have therefore made the first beta of 0.9 available - both prepackaged and tagged in subversion (see below). RSpec 0.9 introduces a new API for expectations, which essentially means that your underscores go away (there has been other discussions

Hi. I''m upgrading a project from an 0.8.0 pre-release gem to 0.8.2. I''ve installed the 0.8.2 gem, and the rspec_on_rails 0.8.2 plugin: ruby script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/tags/REL_0_8_2/rspec When I try to run my specs though, I get the below error. It''s as if the spec_helper cannot find "spec/rails". I''ve noticed that

hi, When running rails spec tests is there a log file generated? i''m looking for generated sql to help me debug like in development.log or is there a way to run the test against a webrick server so i can see logs? (i''m not running with spec_server at the moment, it doesnt seem to work well with autotest) thanks linoj

Is there something currently going on on the rspec trunk that causes a massive slowdown when running rake spec and autotest (without spec_server)? I updated to the latest trunk yesterday and the time needed to run the specs of my app jumped from ~20 seconds to more than a minute. The weird thing is that if I run the rake spec tasks separately (controllers, models, views, helpers), they
