similar to: Scaffolding Specs

While the spirit of BDD is to spec first and code second, many of us have legacy code. Worse, some of us have legacy code without very good coverage. Recognizing that *I* have such code, I created a script that grinds through your .rb files and creates placeholder specs for each public method. While it is more sensible to spec behavior of code function than of individual methods, this

Hi all, I feel like I''m missing something really easy and I''m just not seeing it. I''m using the restful_authentication plugin and have a User model. Uesr has_many :things and Thing belongs_to :user. That''s it. I did a "script/generate rspec_scaffold thing" to generate all the necessary bits. The "rake db:migrate" to create the db. At

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

Watching the test results scroll by, it occurred to me that there must be an easier way than either letting it go or capturing it to a log file to mess with in TextMate. Here''s my first stab at an HTMLifier for test output. Just download, unzip, chmod +x, and you can: rake | ./prake.rb Which, if you are on a Mac, should bring up a Safari window with a summary of the problems at the

Hiall, I want to make an image_tag from within a controller in order to be able to present a link (with a status image) in a view. Here is my controller method (in file webca_controller.rb, hence WebcaController) def untouched_status_image_tag image_tag("open", { :alt => "Offen", :title => "Offen", :size => "12x12", :class =>

Can anyone verify that Ferret should work correctly on 64 bit Red Hat ES 4? The test suite gets the following segfault: ........................../unit/../unit/analysis/../../unit/index/../../unit/store/../../unit/search/tc_filter.rb:20: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [x86_64-linux] This is with version "ferret-0.9.4" on an AMD Dual Opteron 270. -- Posted via

Hi , I''m getting "undefined method `model'' for ContactController:Class" Basically this is my first RoR application. Can you please somebody help to resolve this. Steps I have followed, 1)ruby script/generate model contact 2)ruby script/generate controller contact 3) vim app/controllers/contact_controller.rb class ContactController < ApplicationController model

All of a sudden, I''m getting this error: 1) Error: test_index(AccountControllerTest): RuntimeError: The number of parameters does not match the number of substitutions. /home/joe/projects/tanga/trunk/config/../vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/assertions.rb:92:in `assert_redirected_to''

Hi, is there a way to scaffold with namespace? I''d like to generate a Posts model with namespace admin. But using script/generate scaffold admin/post title:string the migration would generate a table "admin_posts". So I did now script/generate scaffold post title:string moved the controller, views manually to admin/... and had to change each link manually from (e.g.)

I want to put a before_filter in application.rb, as follows: before_filter :do_something, :except_controller => [:admin] def do_something(options) options.stringify_keys! unless options[:except_controller].include?(controller_name) # do something useful end end Where I''m blocking is on how to get the ''options'' data in the do_something method. I think I

I''d like to create scaffolds for each of the tables in my database, but would like to access them below the path: localhost:3000/admin For example localhost:3000/admin/table1 localhost:3000/admin/table2 Where table1 and table2 would be the controller names respectively, calling their own list.rhtml, show.rhtml, edit.rhtml, etc.. Any recommendations on how/where to

Hello everyone, First off, I''m trying to generate a discussion here, not provoke an argument or get people upset. Please bear this in mind if/as you read on... To my mind, there''s 3 missing features from scaffolds that would make them a whole lot more useful. These are: - auto-generation of a drop-down list for inputting/updating has_many/belongs_to relationships between

I''m creating a photo blog with ror. The front end has gone great, so now I''m working on the back end, and was playing with scaffolding. I generated these scaffolds: ruby script/generate scaffold Photo admin/photo ruby script/generate scaffold Camera admin/camera Then, in my routes, I added this line: map.connect ''/admin'',

Hi guys, i have been experiencing this problem once i put in some constant declarations in /config/environments/development.rb. I declared it very normally like this : USER_DETAILS = { :name => ''abc'', :password => ''123''} it works in the controller and when i run the application, i managed to get the values out from the development.rb by using some

Hi all This is my first post here. I ave been using Rails for a couple of months, and am starting to put together a test suite. But I''m having a problem with assert_select in my functional tests. According to the documentation, it should be fine with two arguments - a CSS selector and a string to test it against. But no matter what I do I keep getting the exception: wrong number of

What is the correct way to mock out the errors on a Rails model? I''m assuming i need to say @mock_thing = mock_model(Thing) @mock_thing_errors = mock("errors") @mock_thing_errors.should_receive(:full_messages).and_return("An error") @mock_thing.should_receive(:errors).and_return(@mock_thing_errors) Just wanted to check the best practice on this kind of thing and how

The floating-point expectations allow for an error tolerance. Is there any similar facility for dates? For example, say I have a custom class that handles date/time spans and I want to spec it: context "A DateRange span" do specify "should know when a week ago is :)" do d = DateRange.new d.last_week.should_be_close_to(1.week.ago, 24*60*60) end end The idea

I''m trying to get data in rows instead of columns by default. The default scaffold behavior is to create an initial table layout with column headers along the top. In some cases this creates really wide tables which require horizontal scrolling. Is there a parameter I can use with scaffolding or a hack to get the header cells along the left side of the table instead? I''m

It occurs to me as a missing feature that there''s no way to indicate a lookup table relationship (as opposed to other sorts of foreign key relationships) in Rails and that the scaffolding generator could recognise this lookup and render a drop-down list automagically for the lookup table. Say you have an Address and a State, and the State is a lookup table. In addresses you have

Hello all, I''m in my second day of working through the various Ruby on Rails tutorials, I''m already hugely impressed by the potential speed of developing database driven sites, especially via the use of scaffolds. Which brings me on to my first question (apologies if it''s a simple one, but like I said it is only my second day!) I am aiming to develop an application
