I don''t like this: i = mock(Integer) i.should_receive(:asdfasdf).and_return(''foo'') puts i.asdfasdf Shouldn''t rspec check to see that :asdfasdf is a valid message to be sending Integer? Joe

Hi, I''m a bit stuck with mocking a unit test of a join model with regards to a validates_uniqueness_of clause. I have class Book < AR:B has_many :clippings various validates_presence_of etc end class Clip < AR:B has_many :clippings various validates_presence_of etc end class Clipping < AR:B belongs_to :book belongs_to :clip validates_uniqueness_of :clip_id,

Any ideas how I would go about writing specs for views which make use of content_for? I''d like, for example, to be able to specify that ABC view places XYZ in the sidebar, which I do using content_for(:sidebar). Am I missing something obvious? Kyle

Hi Google has not helped me here. I''m looking for a way to use the have_tag assert_select wrapper outside RSpec on Rails (but in a Rails project) so I can use it to check text strings. Has anyone managed this? Thanks Ashley -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

(oops, accidentally sent this to the rspec-devel list, sorry about that) Could someone help me spec out these Rails controller methods? I don''t know where to get started, especially with the transaction stuff. Or, if anyone else could suggest ways I could improve the code, that would be great as well. Puzzle has_one Media. Both are AR model objects. class PuzzlesController <

I recently noticed the HTML formatter for the story runner, but I''m unable to figure out how to make it function. ''ruby stories/all.rb --format html'' seems like it should work, in that --help works as expected, but I still get only plain text output. Maybe it''s not been wired up yet and/or this is a bug. Maybe I''m just being dumb. I have no clue at

Out of curiosity, I''ve seen the following fail: module Admin describe MyController ... end end But this works fine: describe Admin::MyController .. end Why? Scott

In rspec_on_rails, the spec:doc task uses --dry-run, which doesn''t jive well with rspec''s ability to write docs for you. For example, I use the rspec_expectation_matchers plugin from spicycode.com (scanned for a name, didn''t find one =), and end up writing specs like: it { @ticket.should validate_presence_of(:name) } Which results in specdocs such as: Ticket

I have a few forms that I''d like users to fill out. The results of the form will be sent to a few addresses. What''s the least painless way to do this and keep everything DRY? There''s no database involved. Ideally, I''d like to email the form questions with the answers inline. Seems like using ActionMailer and separate email views would be overkill in this

I created some scaffolding for an Address model and an Addresses controller. When running the functional tests for the addresses controller, I get this exception: "NameError: uninitialized constant Addres" The exception seems to start from this function: def list @address_pages, @addresses = paginate :address, :per_page => 10 end I''m guessing pluralization bug?

Ok, so now Users need to be associated with Organizations. I''ve created a migration and added a ''organization_id'' column to the users table. I want the default organization_id to be the first Organization. So I have :default => Organization.find(:first). But it''s complaining about not being able to find the constant ''Organization''. Any

I had to add a check box indicating that a user accepted certain terms to a page. So, I put in a ''validates_acceptance_of :terms'' line into the appropriate model and added a checkbox to my view. Everything works as expected in my web browser. However, my functional tests still pass and I didn''t add or change anything to them. I was expecting to have to add another

Hi all, I am mocking the following Rails view (inside a partial): <%= render :partial => "forums/forum", :collection => forum_category.forums.readable_by(current_user? ? current_user : nil) %> My spec fails with the following message: 1) ActionView::TemplateError in ''forum_categories/index (anonymous user) should only render forums accessible to anonymous

Is the information in http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/HowtoUploadFiles on caching images still the best way on how to cache images that are served from the database? I haven''t added time information to my image table yet, and the images are sent after every single page view (even if it''s been downloaded already). Joe

All of a sudden, I''m getting this error: 1) Error: test_index(AccountControllerTest): RuntimeError: The number of parameters does not match the number of substitutions. /home/joe/projects/tanga/trunk/config/../vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/assertions.rb:92:in `assert_redirected_to''

Anyone got any tips for running Rails (w/ either webrick or lighttpd/fcgi) on a VPS with a pretty small amount of memory (like 64MB memory and 64MB swap). Thanks, Joe

Hi, Imagine you have a program that contains information on an entity called a Player. There can be lots of Players, say a thousand of them. Players have 20 or so attributes, two of them are an X and Y position. The Players'' attributes are updated many times per second. Now imagine you need to create a web app that shows a 2D overhead display of the all the Players. A grid should be

So, what''s the status of this project? I''m a little confused. The documentation at http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org seems out of date. It refers to http://svn.devjavu.com/backgroundrb/tags/release-0.2.1, which doesn''t work. All I want is a way to easily set up tasks that should run periodically. Some stuff should run every 10 seconds, some stuff once a day, etc.

For a medium-sized website, does one machine for database server (either mysql or postgres) and another for the web server (lighttpd) sound ok? How much traffic could I expect to handle? (I know it depends on the application, but some rough estimates would be nice) Joe

Hi, I have a Rails site that uses a before_filter in the application controller that does some authentication and authorization work. I also have a bunch of HTML in folders in the application''s public directory. Before a user can view anything in the public directory, I''d like to authenticate them. How could I do that? I''m using mongrel, if it matters. Thanks, Joe
