The Rails ApplicationController (app/controllers/application.rb) serves as an abstract superclass for all other controllers in a Rails application and is a good place to put methods and filters which you want all of your controllers to use. In my case I''m using it to provide methods such as "current_user" and "logged_in?" etc. By default, RSpec

Autotest is running continuously - even when the files mtimes aren''t changing. I believe this only happens if using a failures file. autotest -v gives me: euclid% autotest -v loading autotest/rails_rspec /opt/local/bin/ruby -S script/spec -O spec/spec.opts spec/ controllers/log_entries_controller_spec.rb spec/views/login/ new_spec.rb spec/controllers/login_controller_spec.rb

False Positives I just discovered how easy it was to create a false positive when I, trying my first RSpec test, did this: ob.should eql?(''foo'') instead of: ob.should eql(''foo'') or: ob.should == ''foo'' As far as I can see, this is roughly equivalent to: ob.should false Neither eql?(''foo'') nor false causes the spec

Bleeding-edge story-writers, How are you structuring your specs? I am working on a new project and tried this: ./lib ./blah ./spec ./blah ./stories But it breaks autotest, so I moved stories parallel to lib and spec. Also what about suffixes? I have adopted "xyz_story_spec.rb", and "xyz.story" for the time being, with the line runner =

I posted a quick screencast demonstrating some BDD with RSpec yesterday: http://wincent.com/a/about/wincent/weblog/archives/2007/05/ behaviourdriven.php I''m a C/Objective-C programmer who knows a bit of Ruby, almost nothing about Rails, and in BDD I can really only claim "new but interested" status. It''s not scripted, it''s totally improvised and

Hi, I keep facing problems with autotest, and I don''t know what''s happening in the background, is there anyway to know what''s happening while testing? Example: @user = User.new @user.email = "testcom" @user.errors.on(:email).should_not be_empty ...throws error failure - You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! - You might have expected an

Hi Easy one - I just wondered why all spec files for rspec_on_rails end "_spec.rb" instead of just ".rb"? They are all inside the spec folder so surely the fact they are specs is implicit? Ashley

I am writing a controller admin/cities_controller.rb it inherits from AdminController, so it''s defined like class Admin::CitiesController > AdminController Whenever I save the controller file, autotest freaks out: uninitialized constant Admin::AdminController (NameError) I''m pretty used to just hitting CTRL-C to get autotest to re-load all the files, or flicking to

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

Recently as a result of using Git I''ve noticed a number of inconsistencies in the RSpec codebase with respect to whitespace (mixed line endings, mixed use of spaces and tabs for indentation, and trailing whitespace at the end of lines). I never would have noticed, but Git produces nice colorized diff output which highlights these kinds of inconsistencies. I wanted to ask if the

Hey all, Just a heads up that the ZenTest-3.9.0 release is not compatible with RSpec-1.1.2. I thought I had a release ready to go, but differences between a preview release of ZenTest that I received and the actual release seem to have broken compatibility. We''ll get this resolved soon, but in the mean time please hold off on upgrading to ZenTest-3.9.0 if you''re using RSpec.

Hi all, Running on OSX 10.5.3, Latest Rspec trunk, Rspec rails trunk, latest autotest gem and rails 2.1 I''ve lost my colour output in autotest. rake spec gives colour output, but autotest gives me black and white. It was working a little bit before, I think I upgraded to the latest versions of everything to get all the textmate snippets talking and being friendly to one another again

I can''t figure out how to build rspec-rails as a gem when just cloned from github... there isn''t any .gemspec file or rake task that does this. Any help? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m having trouble getting autotest to run "out of the box" with rspec. I''ve got a Leopard setup with Zentest 3.5.0, rspec on trunk, and rails 2.0PR. No ".autotest" file. There are a couple of issues: 1. Running ''autotest'' inititally yields a command not found for "spec --diff unified etc etc". This seems to be an old issue but

Hello all, I''m new to rSpec but after reading a couple of tutorials I''ve become enamored. Anyway, I am at minute 42 of the rSpec basics screencast ( peepcode.com) and I''m having the following error running autotest w/rSpec: D:\ruby\projects\forecaster>autotest loading autotest/rails_rspec c:\ruby\bin\ruby -rrubygems -e "require ''redgreen''"

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''m no expect when it comes time to configure Apache. I just enabled page caching in my Rails app, and am now looking at making Apache serve the cached files instead of calling into Rails. I know Mongrel is able to serve cached files if it finds them, but I''d like Apache to do it. Looking at .htaccess, there is this section: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^$ index.html

Hello, I have noticed that, since version 1.1.4, autotest/autospec does not run any of my specs. After getting a hint from http://b.logi.cx/2008/10/9/non-auto-spec, I dove a bit deeper into the code and found that spec is no longer being run by ruby. I monkey-patched Autotest::Rspec in my .autotest file so that spec is again executed (using code taken from version 1.1.4). autospec is now

Hi, I''ve been using the rspec and rspec_on_rails plugins quite happily on my Rails project for a while now. Today I noticed the autotest support in RSpec-1.0.3 and decided to give that a spin. Oh tragedy! $ autotest loading autotest/rails_rspec ./vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails/lib/autotest/rails_rspec.rb:33:in `initialize'': undefined method `singularize''

I just got back from RailsConf, and upgraded on of my development apps to 2.1, and now autotest is going into an infinite loop. It runs tests continuously instead of waiting for files to be saved before rerunning. Has anybody else seen this, or know how to get around it? Thanks, Andrew
