While looking into spec_ui, I decided to run the examples. The watir example works a little, but always chokes on the ''better than fudge'' spec (failure output below). Also, is there any command to pause the "browser"? If my connection slows, the test gets out of whack. The selenium example fails right away (output below). I do have the 0.9.0 selenium-rc

RSpec 0.9.4 has just been released. Gems haven''t rsync''ed around the globe yet, so you might have to wait a few hours to install it. The big news this time is Spec::Ui 0.2.0, which has been released along with RSpec core. This RSpec extension gives you custom Watir matchers (custom Selenium-RC matchers are not implemented yet). Moreover, it comes with a custom KICK ASS formatter

The "rspec" rake task collects all _spec files in the spec directory, and excludes the "watir" directory. Is this indicating a preference for using Watir over Selenium? I would like it better to standardize on something more neutral, ''ui'' perhaps? /Marcus -- Marcus Ahnve http://marcus.ahnve.net

First up, congratulations to the team on RSpec 1.0.0! RSpec is one of the most vibrant and professionally-run projects in the world of Ruby open source. Now that there is a commitment to a stable API I think we''ll see RSpec really take off. Two quick things... In the absence of official Spec::UI docs, can Spec::UI be installed as a Rails plug-in? eg. script/plugin install

Hey all, I am currently working on coming up w/ an easy to use, developer-centric web testing framework to test a J2EE app with. (I have 3 rails apps in production, love rspec, and am currently at a java shop). I''ve looked at selenium, and it just doesn''t seem like it is ready for prime time, and the target audience is developers. So, having said that, does the rspec

Recently as a result of using Git I''ve noticed a number of inconsistencies in the RSpec codebase with respect to whitespace (mixed line endings, mixed use of spaces and tabs for indentation, and trailing whitespace at the end of lines). I never would have noticed, but Git produces nice colorized diff output which highlights these kinds of inconsistencies. I wanted to ask if the

I''m evaluating what to use for integration testing: SafariWatir - integrates nicely with RSpec - doesn''t work with Ajax because of Safari event firing issues Selenium - Works with Ajax - doesn''t integrate with RSpec What is the best guess timeframe for RSpec integration testing? Will it be able to test Ajax application in the early iterations? Thanks, Brian Yamabe

This is related to Selenium/Watir usage along side webrat in story testing. MHS_Testing and Rspec-ui provide some great help for testing through frameworks like Selenium/Watir. But there is something missing, Webrat has changed the landscape somewhat with Acceptance Tests/Story Driven development. Now I have a choice: 1. Tests and rails process run as one test process (Webrat) 2. Use

Hi! I''m using cucumber + selenium and I love it. However I''m looking to add some methods (example: click_and_wait etc) to the lib. Therefore looked around a bit and I got two questions: Firstly about rspec-ui, I''m a little confused, does rspec-ui overlap with its propose with webrat with cucumber or I''m missing a point? Secondly, are there any plans to

I am using Spec:UI to run my Selenium tests, and I want to start Selenium only once, for many descriptions. I''ve come quite far solving it by declaring a main ui spec like the following: require ''pathname'' require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/selenium'' $base_url="http://localhost:3000" $browser =

Being new to testing and ruby, are there "standard" tests that can be done that test for things like cross site scripting and friends? If not, anyone have ideas on what I might do about testing those sorts of things? I''ll be using rails, also.

I have been using Rspec stories with Webrat feeling very productive and happy. Then I needed to do something with Selenium (Webrat could have done what I needed but it does not yet have the functionality). Selenium-core as part of a rails plugin looked nice but did not seem to fit with rspec stories. So I went the Selenium-rc route. Since Selenium uses a separate instance of rails

Hi, Is there a hook or a method to execute some code after a whole feature has run or will I need to embed that in a ''Then''? Regards Aidy

Hello, I am looking for a user test automation tool. When I say ''user'', I mean it should mimic the user interacting with the app. That ultimately boils down to a tool that drives a browser or is able to make http requests and allow us to deal easily with the responses. Our requirements are to be able to write the tests in Ruby (no need to switch to other language for test

Hi there I just started my first Merb app and I''m running into some weird things in Specs. When I do: describe "create action" do it "should create a new project" do project_params = {:name => ''bekkunin''} Project.should_receive(:create).with(project_params) controller, action = post(''/projects'', :project

One of the things I like about Rails is the built-in support for testing ? it?s almost hard not to write tests. But even if I write extensive tests (currently ?Code to Test Ratio: 1:3.4? according to rake stats in a small toy project) I still feel that it?s not enough. I occasionally get the urge to fire up the browser and click around to test that everything works. You shouldn?t have to

Yesterday I added some Watir examples to RSpec''s svn. Today I added some Selenium (actually - Selenium Remote Control) examples. It''s dead easy to use both, and the Ruby code you end up writing is actually quite similar. Here''s a taste: == Watir == require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/rspec_watir'' context "Google''s search page" do

Yes, I believe it is and I think it is dangerous, and confusing to people new to the concepts of testing. I''ve mentioned a point similar to this on here before, but with the announcement of Rails "integration" test, I''m worried that somebody somewhere is getting their types of tests worryingly mixed up. Lets start with what we had in the beginning...unit tests (for

I don''t even know how it''d be possible (through Selenium?), but I want it. I want to see if my stupid CSS hacks break. I want to say: describe "#nav-column" do body = something("#body-column") it "should line up at the top" do dom[:top].should_be == body.dom[:top] end it "should always be to the right" do

RSpeckers: I went with RSpec instead of Systir because I downloaded and installed the former first. (I know that''s not exactly a ringing endorsement! ;-) I want to compete with FIT and Fitnesse, like this: http://www.zeroplayer.com/cgi-bin/wiki?TestFlea#tropism (Click on a Green Bar to distend one test case.) I want a domain-specific language in the parchment-colored area on the
