So, I''ve been following the recommendations for controller specs here: http://blog.davidchelimsky.net/articles/2006/11/09/tutorial-rspec-stubs-and-mocks Most notably: a single expectation per specify block; the setup block contains only stubs; mock expectations each get their own specify block. (I''m still using 0.8, so I haven''t gotten the describe/it goodness yet.) I

Morning, Having done an svn up this morning all my specs are broken with the following: SQLite3::SQLException in ServiceConfig with minimum set of valid parameters should return nil for the service path'' SQL logic error or missing database C:/development/sandbox/prototypes/user_admin_client/config/../vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails/lib/spec/rails/dsl/behaviour/rails_example.rb:17:in

I have a problem with a mismatch between RSpec Rails and the actual behavior when using GetText, and would be glad for suggestions how to best solve this. When using GetText a failure is reported for the following simplified specification: describe SamplesController, "when requesting /samples" do it "should render index " do get ''index''

The Rails ApplicationController (app/controllers/application.rb) serves as an abstract superclass for all other controllers in a Rails application and is a good place to put methods and filters which you want all of your controllers to use. In my case I''m using it to provide methods such as "current_user" and "logged_in?" etc. By default, RSpec

Hi The code I''m working on now is a server daemon that talks to Twitter, an RSS feed, and some web pages. I''ve got mock implementations of Twitter and the web stuff, which I start and stop with daemon_controller[1]. I do all the setup in a Before block, but this makes the feature runs agonisingly slow due to the time waiting for everything to restart. I''m

I''m trying to write specs for a plugin I''m developing named audit_fu, and I''m running into a problem which I can''t get past it. I''ve got the same specs setup in the main rails app, and everything works fine there, it''s just running the plugin specs that I''m having a problem with. My setup is: - edge rails - edge rspec (in

I think we all know that the readability of steps isn''t great right now, and in fact there''s a very recent thread that discusses just that. It was that recent thread that prompted me to explore this a bit. The basic idea is that you define step matchers, which have a regex, and then you match step names against that regex. Kind of tough for me to explain so I''ll just

I had posted this on the regular Rails list, but upon trying this in script/console, it seems like the behavior only exists when running rspec. I''m getting some weird behavior in one of my models. I have a model defined something like this class User < ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessor :password validates_presence_of :password end If I validate the model without specifying a

Hi all, I had some specs that were using fixture_file_upload that were passing just fine. Then I froze edge rails to get some 2.0 functionality, then a I upgraded to trunk rspec to deal with uninitialized constant ActionView::Helpers::JavaScriptMacrosHelper After a couple other of tribulations, I have now gotten down to just a couple of not passing specs, all using the fixture_file_upload.

I''d like to write a test of a REST service wherein XML is submitted as the request entity. In Test::Unit on Rails, this seems to be possible in an integration test, but not in a functional test. RSpec uses the Rails functional test framework, as far as I can tell, so it suffers the same result; it tries to symbolize the keys of the ''parameters'' hash, except the

Hello, After moving into the HEAD of rspec, I am greeted with a mountain of errors, which I expected, due to my specs not being migrated. I use hpricot for a lot of my view tests, as it is extremely simple to traverse the DOM with it. I used to include HpricotSpecHelper in spec_helper.rb, like so: require ''hpricot_spec_helper'' module Spec module Rails module Runner

hypothetical question for all you BDD experts: I want to make sure that a :list action always returns widgets in alphabetical order. There''s at least 2 ways of doing this: it "should fetch items in alphabetical order" do Widget.should_receive(:find).with(:order => "name ASC") get :list end it "should fetch items in alphabetical order" do [:red,

Hi everyone. I can''t get the above(subject line) combination to work. If I use a standard sqlite3 file db for the test db, and spec_server all the specs on my models pass. If I use an in-memory db for the test db, script/spec w/o spec_server, they all pass. But if I use in-memory and spec_server I get the following error: 1) ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in ''User should be

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

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:

Thanks, first, to everyone who''s asked and answered questions on this list, and to the creators of RSpec - it is all very helpful. I''ve searched the mailing list, and had a couple 2hr googling sessions that didn''t help me find an answer. I''ve run into a problem getting my first non-trivial view spec to run. I get an error when trying to generate a link_to()

On http://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails under "View specs" there''s an example describe "events/index.html.erb" do it "renders _event partial for each event" do assign(:events, [stub_model(Event), stub_model(Event)]) render view.should render_template(:partial => "_event", :count => 2) end end Is this indeed correct? From the

I''ve found these two snippets of code useful and would love some feedback. first, .should_have_valid_associations usage: context "A new Product" do specify "should have valid associations" do @product.should_have_valid_associations end end code: (thanks to Wilson/Defiler for converting to rspec) module Spec module Expectations module Should
