similar to: rspec mocha and controller specs without integrated_views

describe MyController do integrate_views describe "A common base senario" do it "no longer integrates views" do be_careful end end end integrate_views affects an attribute in the class formed by the describe factory method. The second describe generates its own class, so integrate_views is OFF at that level. I''ve already spent far, far too much

I wanted to use "integrate_views" as Ryan explains in his RailsCast #71 (http://railscasts.com/episodes/71) ...but I can''t get it to work: the view code in not executed I looked everywhere but I can''t understand what I am doing wrong. Here is what I did: I created a new application from scratch (Rails 2.0.2), added rspec and rspec_on_rails plugins, and run

I have a problem with a mismatch between RSpec Rails and the actual behavior when using GetText, and would be glad for suggestions how to best solve this. When using GetText a failure is reported for the following simplified specification: describe SamplesController, "when requesting /samples" do it "should render index " do get ''index''

Is there a way to always use integrate_views for all controller specs? I hate having to remember to insert that line into each one. Thanks, Joe

Hi all, I know that in general, view and controller tests should be isolated, such that controller specs don''t test views etc. However, I think I''ve run into a situation that might be an exception. My controller uses render_to_string to produce a chunk of HTML that it passes to a model to be processed. The controller then redirects the user to a different page. The

Hi everybody, 1) Does anybody have full working example of how to test partial templates? 2) What the correct place to test partials: controller or view spec? If controller correct place, should I use integrate_views? 3) Is it true that expect_render is deprecated and I have to use should_receive(:render) 4) How to test that partial''s locals hash is correct? Thx -------------- next

I find myself doing this kind of thing a lot in Controller Specs: @vacancy = mock_model(Vacancy) @vacancy.stub!(:reference) @vacancy.stub!(:title) @vacancy.stub!(:created_at) @vacancy.stub!(:updated_at) @vacancy.stub!(:body) @vacancy.stub!(:contract) @vacancy.stub!(:location) @vacancy.stub!(:salary) @vacancy.stub!(:benefits)

Is anyone else using liquid with the > 1 rspec? This seems to fail: it ''should render show'' do response.should render_template(''buyers/show'') get :show, :id => 1 end with an error like 1) NoMethodError in ''/buyer GET should render show'' You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! The error occurred

I am taking over a code base and am trying to run the tests. I am somewhat new to RSpec so this might be a trivial problem. Basically I can tell that the fixtures are not getting loaded. All 100 tests fail with a similar error. But I don''t know why. Below is the code, with my narrative with *** before it... Can you see anything or give me a clue where to look. So far I am coming up

I''m wondering what''s the difference between stub and message expectation with any_number_of_times, for example: myMock = mock("mymock") myMock.stub!(:is_a?).with(MyClass).and_return(false) and myMock = mock("mymock") myMock.should_receive(:is_a?).with(MyClass).any_number_of_times.and_return(false) because is_a? may not be called at all, it just like a

There is one annoyance I''m encountering with the Mock API in rSpec. Overall it works well, as far as dynamic mocks go ;)... but there''s this one thing... It doesn''t allow overriding of expectations. example: m = mock("blah") m.should_receive(:one).any_number_of_times().and_return(1) m.should_receive(:one).and_return(1) The second call to should_receive

I''m spec''ing a model with an observer that sends mail. Mailers behave similarly to controllers, so to make the whole thing work, I believe something like integrate_views has to be available. Has anyone dealt with observers and ActionMailer? Thanks

I have the following statement mock_requester.should_receive(:request_with).with ("x").any_number_of_times.and_return(@object) which works fine, but when i do it backwards, which makes the same amount of sense syntactically, it fails mock_requester.should_receive(:request_with).with("x").and_return (@object).any_number_of_times are all of the mock options

I am setting up an AR mock object and wanted to sanity check it. My intent is to mix this into all my examples and then override/add methods where necessary. Note that I''ve anticipated three cases for find: find with one numeric argument => object find with :all => Array find with anything else => nil This roughly approximates how ActiveRecord::find works in this case

Hi All I''m working on converting some existing controller specs to use mocks and stubs rather than real ActiveRecord objects in a Rails project. In one of my controller actions, I use a database transaction. So, the obvious thing to do is have this in my setup block: Project.stub!(:transaction) Firstly, is there an easy way to have that stub yield to the block passed to any

Hey all, I''m seeing a strange behavior in my spec that I can''t account for. I''ve got a route that looks like this: map.writing \ ''/writing'', :controller => ''abstracts'', :action => ''index'', :index => { :select => ''all'' } and I have template code that looks like this: <br

I posted a ticket to lighthouse: http://rspec.lighthouseapp.com/projects/5645-rspec/tickets/595-deprecate-integrate_views Please put your comments and thoughts there, as that is the best place for that discussion. I wanted to make it more "visible" so it could get wide community participation in case there are folks who absolutely feel integrate_views is necessary (considering that we

Given this code (which renders rjs), I''m faced with the fixture- driven way of spec-ing or mocking. How the heck to you mock this so the code at line (2) and (4) work right? I''m still struggling with mocks but it seems like this can be done. Forgive the naivety of this question. 1. def change_quantity 2. @line_item = LineItem.find_by_id(params[:id]) 3. unless

I''ve recently run into a problem with one of my applications that refuses to send emails using ActionMailer. Looking at the log, it become obvious what''s happening, the system is looking for templates with underscores at the end. Notice the exception_notification_ . For example: ActionView::ActionViewError (No rhtml, rxml, rjs or delegate template found for

Im trying to send mails from a backgroundrb worker and it seems like ActionView cant find my template. same code works as a rake task. here my worker: class StatusMailWorker < BackgrounDRb::Rails repeat 1.minutes # <-- hehe! def do_work(args) [...blah...] NotificationMailer.create_daily_report(users, rep, items) end end end its throwing the following error: No
