similar to: specing class methods

Greetings, I''m using rspec with rcov for my applications and there is one issue which I cannot solve nor can find any proper information regarding it: specing what is in a rescue block in case of an exception. I''m using Ruby on Rails and I usually make use of exceptions in my controllers, like the following example: def action @foo = Foo.find(1)

Josh Knowles http://joshknowles.com/ just let me know that ZenTest Autotest 3.50 now handles your RSpec specs. http://blog.zenspider.com/archives/2007/04/zentest_version_350_has_been_released.html That''s a great news. Josh also shared with me a quick hack to make autotest work with only the RSpec plugin installed. Add the following into your ~/.autotest file

I wrote this abomination just now, and wonder if anyone else has had experience with the pattern behind it. In short, I''m specing an after_create hook on an ActiveRecord model, that calls a bunch of private methods. Instead of stubbing all those private methods (which is verboten anyway, as well as impossible because creating the object which owns those methods is what I''m

Is anyone using rspec with autotest? Scott

Hey guys, I''ll try to explain this without the model code at first, since there is so much, but if need be, I''ll pastie it. I have an Order model that makes API calls to a payment gateway(TrustCommerce) during validation(to verify the credit card information). I''d like to stub this behavior to avoid thousands of calls to TrustCommerce a day(autotest). All the calls

Do I need to spec an AR. If yes, what is the best way to spec this. here is the code - def index @deals = Deal.paginate(:all, :conditions => prepare_search_conditions, :order => ''created_at DESC'', :page => params[:page] ) if request.xhr? render :update do |page| page.replace_html "table", :partial =>

Hi, I''ve been using the rspec and rspec_on_rails plugins quite happily on my Rails project for a while now. Today I noticed the autotest support in RSpec-1.0.3 and decided to give that a spin. Oh tragedy! $ autotest loading autotest/rails_rspec ./vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails/lib/autotest/rails_rspec.rb:33:in `initialize'': undefined method `singularize''

Hi, I''m trying to setup a mock for my controller test but I can''t get it to recognise the mock. I use it "should find all users" do User.should_receive(:find).with( :all, :limit => 10 ).and_return([@user]) do_get end and in the controller @users = User.find(:all, :limit => 10 ) But this does not work. It gives me User expected :find with (:all)

I was looking over some of my specs. I was thinking that the following: @game.should_receive(:name).and_return(''The Battle for Blaze'') @game.should_receive(:people).and_return(5000000) @game.should_receive(:activated).and_return(true) Would it look cleaner if I could do this instead? @game.should_recieve_and_return( :name => ''The Battle for Blaze''

Hey guys and gals, I have a snippet of code: Net::SMTP(@host, @port, @from_domain) do |smtp| @emails.each do |email| begin smtp.send_message email.encoded, email.from, email.destinations @emails_sent += 1 rescue Exception => e # blah end end end What I want to do is: Say there are 4 emails. First email is sent OK On the second email smtp raises a IOError

I am starting to BDD. When specing the controller I want to test for object creation: it "deberia crear una nueva persona en post create" do Usuario.should_receive(:create).with({:nombre => "camilo", :clave => "secreta", :tipo => "administrador"}).and_return(@usuario) post ''create'', {:usuario => {:nombre =>

Hello forum I have there to files #----- virtual_host_controller.rb class VirtualHostsController < ApplicationController before_filter :capture_domain # GET /domain/1/virtual_hosts/1 def show @virtual_host = @domain.virtual_hosts.find(params[:id]) respond_to do |format| format.html # show.rhtml end end private def capture_domain if

Hi guys, I have a weird failing spec, for which I just cannot figure out the reason of failure. I''m now rewriting my controller specs based on the advice of David and Ashley, and I got stuck on this (see: [rspec- users] specing rescue, ensure and else blocks of an Exception). http://pastie.caboo.se/111221 I''ve tried everything, like stubbing out :update_attributes! , even

Hi James, Jim, and everyone else who''s listening. I''ve been investigating an interesting bug related to mocks and rails AssociationProxies. See http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=3149&aid=12547&group_id=797 for details. The crux is that if you do this (rspec mock syntax): obj.should_receive(:msg).with(mock_of_a_model) and the implementation does

I?m trying to spec a ?binary?, and as previously discussed on this list, I?m trying to do it ?from outside? ? i.e., by calling it with Kernel#` and observing the (side-)effects. Unfortunately, this doesn?t really let me spec expectations about its internals. Let?s assume I have a -d flag and I parse it with Trollop to set Conf.debug: opts = Trollop::options do opt :debug, ''Print debug

I''m trying to specify that an action should be rendered with a given layout one particular spec. What I''ve got at the moment is this. it "should render with the grabber layout" do controller.should_receive( :render ).with( :layout => "my_layout" ) do_get end This doesnt work even though this call to render is being executed. render :layout

Hi all, I have what I thought was quite a simple requirement but something to do with the way ActiveRecord''s associations work is making it quite puzzling. I guess I can sum it up with this failing test: before(:each) do @source_comment = @source.comments.create(:user_id => 1) @target_comment = @target.comments.create(:user_id => 1) end

The ability to choose a mocking framework is great as I prefer mocha, but I am have problems. On my controller specs, I am forced to ''integrate_views'' as the following code below shows you, the mocking of views is rspec specific. See stub! versus mocha''s stub unless block_given? unless integrate_views?

How do you go about implementing and rspecing subdomains as account keys? I''m sure that this must be an issues for others as well. So I have an app using subdomains as account keys. The Application Controller sets up @current_company in a before filter. Everything is done within the context of the @current_company. After reading about Demeter''s Revenge

First of all, please direct me into how better to search existing threads in this mailing list. Ok to my rspec 2.0.1 mocha 0.9.8 issue: given a controller test before do subject.expects(:authenticate).once end it "should bla bla" do pending "PENDING, shouldn''t fail?" end with config.mock_with :rspec it''s ok: pending, but with
