similar to: rspec on rails won''t install

Fyi, I made the following renames: * RailsExample -> RailsExampleGroup * FunctionalExample -> FunctionalExampleGroup * ControllerExample -> ControllerExampleGroup * ViewExample -> ViewExampleGroup * HelperExample -> HelperExampleGroup * ModelExample -> ModelExampleGroup This was done to keep the naming consistent with ExampleGroup.

Hey, we''re currently using shoulda (http://dev.thoughtbot.com/ shoulda/) on a project and I saw some things that would be really nice to see in rspec, namely the should_ methods, and especially the should_be_restful method. Do these go against the rspec goals at all? Or could an ambitious programmer go to town implementing these for rspec_on_rails? Nathan Sutton fowlduck at

Is anyone using rspec with autotest? Scott

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

Has anyone noticed any problems with the Rails story runner returning a response code of "0" when doing get/post/etc methods? I just grabbed the latest rails/rspec and just started noticing this problem, http://pastie.caboo.se/117497 Regular controller specs pass as expected. -- Josh Knowles phone: 509-979-1593 email: joshknowles at gmail.com web: http://joshknowles.com

This is pretty much the same as last time around, if you recall. Thanks to Wilson for converting to the new form. I''ve added a few lines. Basically, it iterates over your model associations and does two things. - First, just try to call the association. Usually fixes speeling erors or other such silliness. - Second, try to find a record with an :include on the association. This

All, Sorry for spamming this list about this but I think everyone who could help me with this problem is on this list... If there is a better place to post this question let me know. Anyways, I am trying to use rspec_on_rails_matchers in my rails app to improve my view specs but I can''t get them to work. The helpers for the form tags never seem to be called. I created a new Rails

Hi, I''m new to rspec. I have some fixtures in /spec/fixtures. If they were in /test/fixtures they could be loaded with rake db:fixtures:load. Is there any way other than a symlink to load my rspec fixtures into the database with rake? Or, can I cause rspec to load the fixtures from /test/fixtures? Thanks, Paul

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''

As I think I previously mentioned, there is an incompatibility with rails 1.2.1 and sqlite3 3.3.8. see: http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2007/1/29/using-sqlite3-with-rails and: http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2007/2/6/rails-1-2-2-sqlite3-gems- singular-resources Sqlite is now at 3.3.13. Because of this, if a developer is trying to create a patch for rspec_on_rails, he will have one of the

Here is an example from autotest: class Autotest def self.run new.run end def new ... end def run ... end ... end How would I spec out Autotest.run? Two complications come to my mind: 1. How do I spec out class methods? (please point me to docs, if any. I can only find class level specing on "partial mocks" (of rails class objects) 2. How can I tell

As anyone deployed on Textdrive using Apache + Mongrel? If so did you just install the GEM locally? I have filed a support request with Textdrive querying when we will see the Mongrel GEMs installed but have received no response yet... Thanks!

I''ve been unserializing XML in PHP with the XML_Serializer class, and I''m wondering if anyone knows of such a class for Ruby. Nothing fancy, just perhaps a simple way of converting arbitrary XML to a Ruby object. Maybe this has been implemented somewhere already? Thanks, Raymond

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)

The RSpec team is pleased to announce RSpec 0.9.1 (we skipped 0.9.0). RSpec is a framework that provides programmers with a Domain Specific Language to describe the behaviour of Ruby code with readable, executable examples that guide you in the design process and serve well as both documentation as tests. This release includes a complete overhaul of the API, which can be summarised as follows: *

Hi, I have a spec it "should have a unique username " I have a code: validates_uniqueness_of :user_name Now, I don''t know how to test this code. In order to test this, do I need to run `save`? For example, @user = User.create(:username => "mike") @another = User.create(:username => "mike") @another.save.should be_false This messes up test

Just a thought, it would be interesting to track and graph the number of examples (and number implemented) on a daily basis as a way of tracking a project progress.

Hi, Does anyone know of any complete tutorials that show the basics of writing a rails plugin? thanks scot -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

With a rails application I''m trying to access the public/ folder from within a rspec story. I have a controller which redirects to: /public/static_html_page.html I have a story written using webat. This story uses the above controller and it expects the redirection. This story always fails as within the story it cannot follow the redirection (Always gives a 500 error). It does not

Seeing as how the new Basecamp API reflects a similar use of RoR that I have been working on I''m curious as to what we can expect to be extracted from there in 0.13? Was the API written as an ActionWebService or just as a set of controllers? Any generic AR xml parsing/output methods that we may see in 0.13? Any reason you decided to do everything with HTTP Get instead of utilizing
