similar to: DRYer controller specs

In most of my tests I''d like to be able to stub out the observers for my models, but I''m not sure the best way to do this. I doesn''t look like there is a way to stub all instance methods, and I don''t seem to be able to stub early enough to stub out the observer as it''s instantiated. I can think of several hackish ways to get around it, but I was

Do have the latest versions? RSpec-1.0.3 ZenTest-3.6.0 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jonathan Linowes <jonathan at parkerhill.com> Date: May 29, 2007 11:47 AM Subject: Re: [rspec-users] questions rspec on rails To: rspec-users <rspec-users at rubyforge.org> Hi, I should have mentioned I already did that.

I''m doing a redirect in one of my controller actions and somehow I can''t spec it, see this pastie: http://pastie.caboo.se/53120. When following the link from a browser I''m being redirected to the right page. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi, I''m trying to stub File.open and whenever I do, rspec blows up with the following error message (undefined method `add'' for nil:NilClass), which seems to happen because method __add in class Proxy is calling #add on global $rspec_mocks, which in turn is nil. Can someone explain what I''m doing wrong, as I can''t seem to stub anything out! Here''s

Hi all, There are currently a number of ways to extend RSpec that are documented inconsistently and work in sometimes conflicting and/or confusing ways. I''d like to resolve that. The recent addition of Spec::Runner.configure is part of that resolution. The thing I want to tackle now is the stuff that happens before and after each example. Currently (in trunk), things are executed in the

Forgot post this when I did it... For anyone else that used the "aspect" method of the rspec-ext gem, here''s a New World version of the code to drop into spec_helper.rb. (I''m assuming rspec-ext hasn''t been updated since I did this a week or two ago) module Spec module DSL module BehaviourEval module ModuleMethods def

Hello, I hope somebody can explain to me what''s going on here because I''m baffled! In a controller''s action I want to create a new order for a customer. Because I post back to the same action (not RESTful I know, but that''s for another day) I use code like this: def edit @order = Order.find_by_id(params[:id]) || Order.new ... end I

Given this code (which renders rjs), I''m faced with the fixture- driven way of spec-ing or mocking. How the heck to you mock this so the code at line (2) and (4) work right? I''m still struggling with mocks but it seems like this can be done. Forgive the naivety of this question. 1. def change_quantity 2. @line_item = LineItem.find_by_id(params[:id]) 3. unless

Hi all - I have written an XML-RPC app using action-web-service. Mostly works well. Except I just noticed that my :datetime types are coming back as :date types. That is, when in the console I query the record via Foo.find_by_id(123) I get back actual datetimes. If I then do it via XML-RPC, fetching that same record I get back dates (ie. hour/minute/second are set to 00:00:00) Any ideas?

Hello, I''m working with scaffold generated controller test code for handling GET requests. Address is the model being tested. Address belongs_to Company, Company has_many addresses. In my addresses_controller I have: before_filter :get_company def index @addresses = @company.addresses.find(:all) respond_to do |format| format.html # index.html.erb format.xml {

Tried to submit a ticket in Trac, but it reported an error... Doing a Model.find_by_id(nil) after creating an object of type Model returns that object -- and the next time, returns nil. It should always return nil. For example, Step 1. Create an object: >> Foo.create(:name => "bar") => #<Foo:0x2aaaac3ade20 @new_record=false,

Hi, The following controller method taking me into infinite loop. Once the update action completes I want to reload the ''index'' page. May I know why it is going into infinite loop? def update Device.find_by_id( params[:device_id] ).driver = ( params[:driver_id] == 0 ) ? nil : Driver.find_by_id( params[:driver_id] ) redirect_to :action => :index, :tab =>

I''m playing around with the Postback action recipe listed in the recipes book. Here is the default code given: def edit @recipe = Recipe.find_by_id(params[:id]) || Recipe.new if request.post? @recipe.attributes = params[:recipe] redirect_to :main_url and return if @recipe.save end end Here is what my code sort of ended up looking like, altho i''ve ripped it apart

Hi, rather than flooding this list with separate emails, I''ve been queueing up questions using rspec with rails. (an irc channel would be nice too :) Here ya go... - Is there a way to test named routes? - Could I get an example how to test an ajax request (link_to_remote)? would that go in view? and/or in controller spec? - Can you assert which layout template is rendered in a

I am trying to use the new Rails 2.0 macro : rescue_from class PostsController < ApplicationController rescue_from ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound, :with => :deny_access ... def show @post = Post.find_by_id(params[:id]) raise ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound if @post.nil? #illegal access ..... end def deny_access respond_to do |format| format.html end end but the

Hello, Has anyone already come up with a set of shared behaviours that someone could leverage when adhering to a CRUD concept, with respect to controllers? Relatedly, it would be nice if there were a way to share generalized behaviour specs. -Chris

i found Ezra''s acl_system plugin yesterday and i am trying to figure it out. based on the simple instructions on the site, it does exactly what i need but i''m getting some errors when i try to use it: NoMethodError in UsersController#index You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! The error occured while evaluating nil.roles i am pretty new to rails and

Forgive me if this isn''t the proper list. It''s specific to the rSpec Rails plugin. The problem is, some controller actions are rendering the "diagnostics.rhtml" template when I''m expecting it to render something else in a controller spec. I''m assuming this is the template that displays the error message and a stack trace when an error is raised in the

I have a model named User. When running this application from the console I can call User.find_by_id(nil) and it returns nil. When running this application during testing or through WEBrick or Mongrel calling User.find_by_id(nil) returns the newest record in the database. But it only does this the first time you call it with nil. The second time you call User.find_by_id(nil) it returns nil.

I want to isolate and spec methods that are shared by controllers, and live in application.rb. Whereas I usually also provide examples in individual controllers that use these methods, not necessarily all the edge cases and I''d like to isolate the examples. This is the approach I''m taking (thanks to bryanl for suggestions and http://pastie.caboo.se/123626). WDYT? This
