similar to: trunk is now ... trunk

Heads up for those of you who have been using trunk or branches/0.9-dev: I''m going to be moving them around in the next day or so. What is now in trunk will move to branches/0.8-maintenance, and what is now in branches/0.9-dev will move to trunk. I''ll email shortly before and after this happens, but I figured I''d give you some advanced warning. David

Hi all, For those of you checking out the Rails 2.0 preview release: RSpec-1.0.8 does not support Rails 2.0. Unfortunately, we''re in the middle of some big changes to the internals in trunk and won''t be in a position to do a release for another week or so. Therefore, if you are using the Rails 2.0 preview, you''ll need to use the RSpec trunk. Additionally, right now

Just curious - now that rspec (as of 0.9) let''s you choose your mock framework, how many of you are actually using (or planning to use) mocha or flexmock? Anybody planning to use any other mock framework besides rspec, mocha or flexmock? Thanks, David

Hi all - I''ve applied (to trunk) Bob Cotton''s patch which supports shared behaviours (link to tracker below). I''m still toying w/ names, so please be aware that until this is released w/ 0.9 it should be considered experimental and there will NOT be translation support for it. It will definitely be included in some form - just the names (specifically

Hey guys! I am using rspec trunk, and I am having a little problem with the latest version. (I am quite sure this worked with an older version about a week ago) heres the spec: it "should render the new user form without layout for a xhr request" do @controller.should_receive(:render).with(:layout=>false) xhr :get,:new end and the controller: def new render

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|

Here is the code within the controller: Line 69: @photo = @member.build_photo(params[:photo]) unless params[:photo][:uploaded_data].blank? I got a little ahead of myself and wrote the code, and now have a bunch of errors telling me that: ------- 6) NoMethodError in ''Spec::Rails::Example::ControllerExampleGroup MembersController handling PUT /members/1 should find the member

I saw the RCov page at http://rspec.rubyforge.org/tools/rcov.html and decided to add it to my project. My rakefile looks like this: require "rake" require "spec/rake/spectask" desc "Run all specs with RCov" Spec::Rake::SpecTask.new("spec:rcov") do |t| t.spec_files = FileList["spec/**/*_spec.rb"] t.rcov = true end When I run rake spec:rcov,

I''m a big fan of stubbing Time.now so it returns a known value. I used to be able to use stubba and say: @time_now = Time.parse("Jan 1 2001") Time.stubs(:now).returns(lambda{@time_now}) However, something in trunk broke that. Fine, rspec''s got its own stubbing lib now, so I tried switching to that: @time_now = Time.parse("Jan 1 2001")

Now that RSpec is nearing 1 dot oh, are there any plans to implement an integration testing equivalent in RSpec On Rails?

Hey folks I have a bunch of classes that are polymorphs, with has_many_polymorphs (they are all ''labellable'', which is similar to being ''taggable'' in the acts_as_taggable scheme). I have a couple of modules, LabellableInstanceMethods and LabellableClassMethods in a file called labellable_methods.rb. The classes all get labelled with

Hi I can''t get heckle working. In fact, I''ve built an example so simple that it either shows a bug, or I am being really, REALLY stupid. Heckle does not appear to support RSpec directly, so I''m trying to use spec --heckle (RSpec trunk as of 10 mins ago, Heckle 1.4.1). I''ve constructed this pair of sample files: 18> ~/Desktop/heckle_test % cat

Hi, After I upgraded RSpec from 0.7.4 to 0.7.5, first the gem, then the Rails plugin, I noticed that when I ran my spec/models, the fixtures were overwriting the data in the development environment DB, not the test one. The test environment was being used prior to the upgrade. I am using SQLite3 and an in-memory db for the test environment. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ed -- Ed

If I have an object `obj` that is a SpecTask, and subsequently invoke it, is there a way to programmatically determine the number of tests that were successful, failed, and pending as a result of running that SpecTask? -- John Feminella Principal Consultant, Distilled Brilliance

I love the way I can throw a call to pending() in the top of an unfinished RSpec example and stop it from failing the build. Is there a similar way to do such a thing with good ole'' cucumber? cheers, Matt ---- http://blog.mattwynne.net http://songkick.com In case you wondered: The opinions expressed in this email are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of any former,

Dear spec''ers, As many of you already know, we''re gearing up for a pretty big 0.8 release of RSpec in the next couple of weeks. I''m writing in advance because I want to give you a heads up about upcoming changes and how they may impact your existing specs. Two important things to note first: 1. We will provide a translator that you''ll be able to use to

So, I''ve been following the recommendations for controller specs here: http://blog.davidchelimsky.net/articles/2006/11/09/tutorial-rspec-stubs-and-mocks Most notably: a single expectation per specify block; the setup block contains only stubs; mock expectations each get their own specify block. (I''m still using 0.8, so I haven''t gotten the describe/it goodness yet.) I

This applies to anyone using rspec''s trunk from >= 3220 with ZenTest <= 3.7.2. Anyone else, feel free to move on.... The next release of ZenTest, coming soon, includes some changes that improve the relationship between Autotest, it''s subclasses (like those in rspec) and .autotest, the file that you can use to plug into autotest''s hooks to extend/modify

Why am I now getting these errors? expected redirect to {:action=>"index"}, got redirect to "http://test.host/authenticated_users" I know in the AuthenticatedUsersController, the redirect call is redirect_to :action => ''index'' So why should I have to convert this to a url in my specs?

Hi all, I am trying to use rspec_on_rails in a Rails app that doesn''t have a database. so far I have just been faking it out by dumping in a sqlite3 database just to make Rails happy. I was using for test::unit a rake task that eliminated the calls to database prep: # Added this .rake file to keep Rake happy without a database. # Remove once a database is in the picture.
