I vote for spec''ing. Anybody else?

How would you spec out something like the following: def a_method x = Class.new do include Enumerable end # do something here with x end describe "The Anonymous Class" do before :each do @anonymous_class = mock Class Class.stub!(:new).and_return @anonymous_class end it "should create a new anonymous class" do

This is something I''ve come up against twice. First, I have an interactive editor which calls vi, emacs, or TextMate (etc.) via Unix, and then loads the file handed to the editor back into IRB after it''s edited and saved. I guess that makes it a special case of a more general question, which is how do you spec external processes, with a slightly more complicated version of the

Hi all, Does anyone know how to debug S4 methods? In my case I want to find an error in the specc-function of the kernlab-package. As this seems to be a S4-method the normal S3 debugging can't be applied apparently (e.g. debug(s3function.someclass)). So in my case > debug(specc:kernlab) seems only to debug the generic-function: > specc:kernlab function (x, ...)

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

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

Hi everyone, I''m trying to convert a string passed on the command-line into an ActiveRecord class, so I can do something like this. a="SomeClass" a.find(:all) where class SomeClass < ActiveRecord::Base end This appears to work (better ways would be appreciated): a="SomeClass" b=eval a b.find(:all) However I would like to make sure

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 =>

Does anyone have any experience making this work? I installed the plugin and tried the following: class SomeClass < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_Taggable end class SubClass1 < SomeClass end class SubClass2 < SomeClass end SubClass1.tag_with("tag") and notice that taggable_type = SomeClass when I do SubClass2.find_tagged_with("tag") a SubClass1 object is

Hi,   I'm new to R and S4 classes. I defined a class with two methods (myMethod1 and myMethod2). I want to call myMethod1 within myMethod2. Why does the code below not work? The name 'myMethod1' doesn't appear to have meaning inside myMethod2, even though the two methods belong to the same class.     setClass(Class="SomeClass",      representation=representation(      

Dear useRs and wizaRds, I am currently developing a set of functions using S4 classes. On the way I encountered the problem exemplified with the code below. For some reason the 'validity' method does not seem to work, i.e. does not check for errors in the specification of the slots of the defined class. Any hints? My understanding of the whole S4 system was that validity checks are made

I''m trying to figure out how to use modules with my model classes. I''m going to have good number of model classes that don''t map to the database, and I''d like to put some of these in seperate modules. I''ve been wrestling with this for 2 days and can''t figure out how to get it to work. Rails seems to handle it fine for controllers, though. I

Hi Accesses the $new method for a class defined in a package fails if the methods package is not loaded. I have created a test package with the following single code file: newTest <- function() { cl <- get("someClass") cl$new } someClass <- setRefClass("someClass") (This is similar to code actually used in the testthat package.) If methods is not loaded,

FWIW, I''ve wrote puppet-cleaner to help me make comply thousands of lines of puppet 2.6 DSL code to puppet 2.7 style guide and expectations. I''m uploading it to github today for anyone to use. https://github.com/santana/puppet-cleaner Externally, you run puppet-clean file.pp and it can transform this: /* multiline comment trailing white space here -> */ class

Hi -- I have a bunch of controllers whose index actions are so similar, I can safely stick most of the code in a superclass. I am having trouble, however, in speccing the index method in the superclass. It could look like this: http://pastie.org/240207 This is the class that the controllers that would actually get called would inherit from. I want to describe SuperController#index in a spec, so

How would I spec a call to exit? I can''t seem to stub it - rspec throws an error. Scott

I have class in a plugin that I want to crack open and add some functionality to for a particular application. So, I created a file by the same name as the class in my app/models folder and added some methods to the class, but, I can''t seem to get Rails (2.2.2) to pick-up the extended definition. I did find while trying to debug the problem that if I paste the extended definition into,

Dear R developers, It would be great if you could implement the two minor code changes suggested below, which would help processing large objects in R. Jens Oehlschl?gel # Wish no. 1: let [.AsIs return the class AFTER subsetting, not the class of the original object # Wish no. 2: adjust write.csv and write.csv2 for multiple calls in chunked writing # Rationale no. 1: a couple of packages

Hi R experts,   The fix() function canbe used to edit normal functions. I would like to know whether it's also possible to use something similar to edit a method of an S4 class. In other words, is there a fix-like function that allows me to edit method definitions without having to go back to the source code?   setGeneric (name="doStuff",def =

Hello,   How can I generate an overview/vector of all the methods winthin an S4 class? Similar to dir() in this Python code: >>> class SomeClass():  def some_method_1(self):   pass  def some_method_2(self):   pass   >>> dir(SomeClass) ['__doc__', '__module__', 'some_method_1', 'some_method_2'] >>>   Thanks in advance!
