shared descriptions -- a couple of issues
Hello All,
I''ve just upgraded to rspec/rspec_on_rails 0.9.3 and am very excited
about shared descriptions. They couldn''t have come at a better time: I
just finished refactoring some REST controllers so that the bulk of
the actions are inherited from a superclass. Now I can write the
specs once, too. :)
I''ve hit a couple of snags, though. I thought I''d

Failure trying to test ApplicationController

spec''ing shared controller methods
I want to isolate and spec methods that are shared by controllers,
and live in application.rb.
Whereas I usually also provide examples in individual controllers
that use these methods, not necessarily all the edge cases and I''d
like to isolate the examples.
This is the approach I''m taking (thanks to bryanl for suggestions and
http://pastie.caboo.se/123626). WDYT?

reusable specs - almost there
I have a lot of controllers with virtually identical functionality for most
actions. I''ve been using shared behaviours to DRY things up a bit, but I
still have to create separate behaviours for each context before I can use
the shared behaviours
what I have now is a generic file which contains all the behaviours and
examples common to all the controllers, and that file gets loaded from

it_should_behave_like
I''m trying to use it_should_behave_like, and something seems to be wonky

Getting Class in Shared Behaviours
Hi,
I want to be able to get at the described class in my shared behaviour. I''m
sure an example will say it better than my words

how_do_i_get_the_user_class_here

spec template for CRUD?
Hello,
Has anyone already come up with a set of shared behaviours that
someone could leverage when adhering to a CRUD concept, with respect
to controllers?
Relatedly, it would be nice if there were a way to share generalized
behaviour specs.

Specifying mixins
Hi folks,
Can anyone share some accumulated wisdom about the best way to spec
mixins in general, and (Jamis Buck-style) ActiveRecord "concerns" in
particular?
The standard situation here is that there''s a bunch of functionality,
related by concept if not by implementation, that one wants to inherit
in many different classes (e.g. ActiveRecord models) without having to

Controller specs not shareable?
Hi
I just wondered if there was a reason why Rails controller specs are
not shareable? eg
describe "All XHR POSTs to /gap/calculate_quote", :shared => true do
controller_name :gap
# ...
end
describe "XHR POST /gap/calculate_quote with valid details" do
it_should_behave_like "All XHR POSTs to /gap/calculate_quote"

shared_example can't have the same name even if defined it different specs
I am writing some specs related to permissions for different kinds of
users. Every user has some common examples to test in many different
specs. For example, all users can view, and edit their profile.
Also, all users can view their own "history." So I have two spec
files, say profile_controller_spec and history_controller_spec.
They might look like http://gist.github.com/336898

ExampleGroup and SharedExampleGroup relationship(?)
I''m working on a series going over the source code for rspec, and I ran into
something interesting with ExampleGroup and SharedExampleGroup. I was
wondering if anyone could shed light on it.
[NOTE: I''m working through the code for my own edification in learning Ruby.
Ruby has some features that I think are incredibly cool, so I''m using a

named context or calling include_context with block?
Hello,
I''m playing around with Rspec again after going from test/unit to
rspec then back to test/unit... :) Right off the bat, I find myself
wanting to do something like this: https://gist.github.com/1128091
Basically, I want to name a context, then call it later by name,
passing a block to it.
Or in other words... what is the best way to DRY this code?
