Sprinkling my examples with ''lambda'' has always seemed like a bit of a wart to me. I''ve gotten into the habit of adding ''alias :calling :lambda'' to my spec suites. My examples then look like: calling { Foo }.should raise_error calling { Bar }.should_not raise_error Is there a reason that RSpec core has chosen not to make exception expectations more

I want to create a spec/regressions directory with various regressions (for my rails project). I tried the following: describe LoginController, "regression for user creation when steves_sister does not exist", :behavior_type => :controller do controller_name :login before :each do @params = { "commit"=>"Create Account",

I''ve started using specs as a to-do list. I write explicitly violated specs so I know what to come back to. But a lot of the time, that means if I start to work on another piece of functionality covered by the same spec, it''s hard to tell what I''m working on now from the explicit failues. I run all my specs through TextMate to use the HTML output, so I go by

Hi all, I''m not sure if I''ve missed it, but I couldn''t find any docs for stubbing an instance method on a class. For example: class Foo; end Foo.stub!(:my_instance_method).and_return(nil) The reason (I think) I need this is because a certain class (Test::Unit::TestCase) expects an argument (name of method) to new and throws an exception if that instance method

I have to confess that I did not know about facets before reading Ashley Moran''s post: http://aviewfromafar.net/2007/10/21/quick-and-dirty-facets-in-rspec-trunk Not knowing about the facets solution, I made a couple of feature requests for nested describes: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=14980&group_id=797&atid=3152

I''m using RSpec on Rails and would like to clean up the backtraces, so I went looking for an RSpec equivalent to ThoughtBot''s Quiet Backtrace gem<http://thoughtbot.com/projects/quietbacktrace>. I found Spec::Runner::QuietBacktraceTweaker in the RDOCS, but I can''t figure out how to use it. Can I add something to spec_helper.rb that will utilize

This is kind of a two part question. Question One: I want to be sure that an Order model is protecting sensitive attributes from mass assignment. The example looks like this: describe Order do it "should protect total attribute from mass assignment" do @order = Order.new(:total => 0.05) @order.total.should_not == 0.05 end end And the code to implement it: class Order

Rspec is all about using natural language to define behavior. In this context, I feel that lambda is sorely out of place. I was chatting on #irc and a pal of mine (wycats) proposed an interesting alternative: alias_method :doing, :lambda so instead of something like lambda {post :create, {:title => nil}}.should raise_error(ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid) we get doing {post :create, {:title

Hey guys, We developed this plugin while writing my first real set of RSpec stories. It''s still missing a lot of functionality, but it''s useful to us as is, so I''m shipping 0.1.0. (Patches welcome. :) ) Code is available at: http://svn.eastmedia.net/public/plugins/webrat/ What do you think? -Bryan Here''s the README:

Hey David, I just watched the RubyConf recording of your RSpec session and noticed that you''re using a modified version of TextMate that uses a sidebar instead of a project drawer. Where did you find that mod? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/rspec-users/attachments/20071207/c900e1bc/attachment.html

I just read ''Mocks Aren''t Stubs'' and was intrigued by the notion of ''outside-in'' TDD. As a Rails developer, I''m curious if others are employing this method when developing Rails applications using RSpec. Is it common practice (or even practical) to drive the development of a Rails app by starting with view specs, then controller specs, then

I''m seeing some odd behavior around the should_receive() when given a block combined with some cardinality. For example, with the following... my_mock.should_receive(:foo).twice do |i| puts i end ... the spec passes but i never gets puts''ed. With the following... my_mock.should_receive(:foo) do |i| puts i end ... i gets puts''ed twice but the spec fails because

I found this: controller.expect_render(:partial => ''thing'', :collection => things).once but I am trying to expect_render twice in my view spec: template.expect_render(:partial => ''order_details'').twice This doesn''t work as the template.expect_render call seems to be returning an array. Is it possible to expect the rendering of a partial

A small feature request. When running the spec rake task, if any of the folders ''spec/models'', ''spec/controller'', or ''spec/views'' doesn''t exist or if they don''t contain any specs, the spec usage is printed. In my case I didn''t have a views directory. I was able to get rid of the usage output by creating the

In teaching I'd like to be able to display a R-graphics window on a wall projection display keeping the R-console on the computer monitor. And so I ask--- Is there a way to move a graphics window out of the Rgui window to a second monitor leaving the R Console window in the Rgui window on the first monitor? Either a Windows or Linux solution would be just fine. --jed diem

Hi all, We''ve recently been kicking around different ideas for simulating user behaviour for the purposes of load testing our backend. We hit on the idea of having user stories do double duty for both verifying behaviour and (if selected stories were driven en-masse by a distributed network of clients) for application load testing. I googled around a bit and didn''t find

I am using the acts_as_state_machine plugin to control state of an object in my app, however when testing this I need to be able to stub out the guard conditions so that state will change when I fire off an event without depending on other models. Guard conditions simply return true or false so I have an instance method: def encoded? <check state of other objects> return true

Has anyone had any luck getting the addon's to compile under OS X? I have been able to get 1.06 to build and run great, but I really want to get the cdr_addon_mysql.so to enable mysql writing. When I try to compile I get a bunch of Undefined symbols and I have tried adding everything to my path. I've got mysql_devel, etc. I have posted this to the Mac Asterisk mailing list about a week

I''m trying to wrap my head around these files... do both of them need to reside on the client and master? are there any docs that describe these files and what all the option/ sections are and what they do?
