similar to: pontential bug in rspec_on_rails and ActiveRecord transactions

Hi! I just started using RSpec and have some question that I couldn''t find answers to. If I have a result that can have two valid values, is there a better way of writing the following assertion? [value1,value2].should_include actual Is there a more elegant way of performing should_satisfy on a collection, for example I currently use something like collection.each {|x|

Hi! It seems that migration doesn''t use single transcation to execute the needed migrations for the database upgrade, so if I have database at version 5, and I wrote some migrations 6..10, and error occurs while executing migration 7, the database stays in state 6? I also think that migration taks could use some more verbosity, for example if migration fails, there''s no

Hi! Is there an option that I could provide to the spec runner that would make it stop after it encounters the first spec that fails? Esad

Hi! The following example doesn''t work for me: http://pastie.caboo.se/41732 However, if the call to msg() happens in the specify block after the expecation and not in the setup, it will pass. Why is this? I thought the setup method was there to actually ''construct'' the context and the specifications are some kind of "postconditions" that only need to be

Hi! I''m using Migration to define my database schema and these "ALTER TABLE t ADD FOREIGN KEY..." look really ugly - that''s why I wanted to ask it would be possible to simply add add_foreign_key method to ActiveRecord? Are there any reasons this isn''t yet implemented? Greetings, Esad -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi! Is there a nicer way of writing File.should be_exist(''filename'')? File.should exist(''foo'') throws NoMethodError in ''specification'' undefined method `exist'' for #<#<Class:0x3ec1c30>:0x3ebc308> (I''m using rspec from the trunk) Esad

Would it make sense for rake db:migrate to support creating databases if it is not found, with blessing from user to prevent typos, or as an additional command line switch. Or am I just being too lazy? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi! I''m thinking of implementing datagrid like functionality for showing data (models) in grids so that I don''t have to re-invent the view/controller for each table I need. There are number of parameters that need to be customizable: column titles, row style depending on the data (i.e. showing all rows with balance<0 in red), is column sortable, sort-algorithm etc. To

I am a bit of a rails and rspec noob. I am trying to use rspec in conjunction with CruiseControlrb. When I run a cruise build having spec errors, the build does not indicate a failure. I have tried to track down why this is the case, and my best guess is that the spec task is kicking off the spec via a ruby() method in rake, and that ruby method does not propagate my spec failure back to

Hi! Is it possible to run unit tests when no database is configured? Rails recipes mentions putting following piece of code in a file within lib/tasks/ [:test_units,:test_functional,:recent].each do |name| Rake::Task.lookup(name).prerequisites.clear end However this seem to be out-of-date, as task lookup in rake according to RDoc is now done using Rake:Task[name]. But after I updated the

Hi! Is it possible to render the action within the after_filter method, or is the rendering performed before? I have something like this: class FooController after_filter :send def a @content=... end def b @content=.. end protected def send send_data(@content,...) end end However, when calling the action a or b, the @content doesn''t get sent, but instead

Hi! I''m writing a datagrid plugin and would like to render the datagrid using a .rhtml template. However, I''d like to avoid placing this template in app/views/shared, but it should reside somewhere within vendor/plugins/datagrid/... Any ideas? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all, I''m currently trying to get Mongrel running my app whilst fronted by apache 2.2 in a sub-directory via https. A bit convoluted I''ll grant you but necessitated by existing systems.

Hi all, What would be the best/easiest way of installing rspec as a system wide generator so I''m not having to download it or ./script/plugin install it every time?

Hi all rspec_on_rails/lib/spec/rails.rb starts: ------ dir = File.dirname(__FILE__) require ''application'' silence_warnings { RAILS_ENV = "test" } ------ That force into "test" environment is causing me trouble and I''ve commented it out. Why? I''m testing a plugin, and have a sort of mini rails app that I use for the specs. The

In my rspec_on_rails controlle rspec, I have this: require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../spec_helper'' describe FooController, "with a foo" do it "should be false" do get ''index'' assigns[:foo].should be_false end end In my controller I have this: class FooController < ApplicationController def index @foo = FALSE end

I ran into something really puzzling today. I don''t know exactly why it''s happening, but I thought I''d share my experiences. I started a dummy app just to test an idea outside of the context of my real work today. So, I quickly get things started: * rails junk * cd junk * ruby script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/tags/ CURRENT/rspec * ruby
