Hey guys, Does anyone have any wisdom to share on the subject of speccing Rails layouts? Most of it''s plain old view specs stuff, but are there sensible ways to verify things like the yield call? (Mocking doesn''t catch that) Thanks, Matt -- Matt Patterson | Design & Code <matt at reprocessed org> | http://www.reprocessed.org/

hi, I just started fooling around with story runner, thought I''d start with a dead simple scenario: The first thing I do when describing a site to someone is go to the home page, and begin exploring public pages from there. So, that seems like a good first story to spec out. And I''d really like to extract the actual link from the rendered page (rather than just

Hi, It appears that if I have 2 should_receives in a row, the latest one overrides the previous one(s). If there isn''t one, could we add a way to accumulate them, such as @thing.should_receive(:method).and_return(@value) @thing.should_receive(:method).again.and_return(@value) @thing.should_receive(:method).again.and_return(@value) would be equivalent to

hi, When I run rake spec , it seems to be starting with my default environment (development or production) and connects to that database, before actually connecting to the test one and proceeding with the tests. When I remove the development database, the specs wont run. How do i initiate rspec to be test environment from the start? I dont see this when i run using script/spec linoj

Hey, Sorry for so many questions - I''m really bad at this right now. I''m trying to cover the following code w/ rspec def index if params[:user_id] @user = User.find(params[:user_id]) @messages = @user.messages end end So basically what I''m doing is listing all the messages for a user, provided there is an id parameter. describe

I''m sure this is OT but I''d appreciate the help I''m using rspec_on_rails I prefer to use stable release rather than live dangerously (at least until I can tell the difference between what I might be doing wrong vs problems in rspec). However, I would like to try the RspecScaffoldGenerator fix. I installed (per the docs) last week with the following commands

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

I am not sure why the tests don''t see the call of the new method for the Address class. It can be seen in the controller method where the Address.new is called. >> @address = Address.new(params[:address]) What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the help. Here is the error message: Spec::Mocks::MockExpectationError in ''UsersController handling POST /users should create a new

Hello, I am trying to implement the following scenario, but I am stuck ... The thing is I want to initialize a variable @comment when the stub function "find_comment" is called. The way I do it below doesn''t work, since "before_filter :find_comment" returns true/false and @comment initialization is done inside it. Could you please give me a hint how to do it? One

Hi, I''m trying the specs for restful_authentication I found here http://jonathan.tron.name/articles/2007/01/02/rspec-on-rails-restful- authentication It seems to use custom .should methods: should_eql, should_be_an_instance_of, should_redirect_to, should_be_success, should_not_be_nil, should_be_nil, should_not_be_nil, should_be_empty, should_be_success, should_not_change, and

Hi I''ve spec''d a class and they pass. Now I''d like to assure that any subclass of this class also passes the same specs. Any suggestions for a clever way to handle this? I''d prefer to keep the existing specs as is (eg instead of moving everything into shared behaviors, or doing something to all the ''describe'' lines) thanks linoj

Hi, This is weird All my current spec examples are passing (about 750 of ''em) except a set of 6 in a specific controller spec. I get the following failure on each 6 when I run it via $ rake spec for example: --- ActionController::UnknownAction in ''MembershipsController handling PUT /project/ID/membership/N/accept should flash message'' No action responded to

Hey, I''m using rspec and rails and have a spec that tests if a before_filter is executed, I also have a spec that tests if a method called by the filter is executed. It appears however that when I should_receive something, it is no longer actually called when I fire the http request. I''m not sure how, or where exactly I should manually fire the filter, either before or after the

Okay, I give up. I have been trying to set session values in a controller, but no matter what, once the request is made and inside the controller, the session is empty. What''s the correct way? I have tried session[''whatever''] = something controller.stub!(:session).and_return(session) I tried creating a new session, but nothing seems to do it. I''m sure
