First off, I''d like to address that I''m n00bs. I''ve read the README and blogs associated with this plugin, and there really isn''t too much documentation. I have the newest version of rails,ruby, and acts_as_authenticated installed. #The setup I set up the acts_as_authenticated in the following manner. *created a table called "accounts" in the

Hi, I just installed Rails 2.0.2 [root@mymachine easyx]# ruby --version ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [i686-linux] [root@mymachine easyrx]# gem install rails --include-dependencies Need to update 16 gems from http://gems.rubyforge.org ................ complete Successfully installed rails-2.0.2 [root@remandev easyrx]# But I''m getting this error in my restful_authentication

I wrote this abomination just now, and wonder if anyone else has had experience with the pattern behind it. In short, I''m specing an after_create hook on an ActiveRecord model, that calls a bunch of private methods. Instead of stubbing all those private methods (which is verboten anyway, as well as impossible because creating the object which owns those methods is what I''m

The new "pending" example feature reminds me of a feature I''ve been bouncing around in my head, to aid in refactoring. Often, when I''m changing existing behaviour, I know that certain aspects of the old behaviour should change. Imagine changing the "it" method to perhaps "not" or "old" or "removed"... The behaviour would be to

I spent the last couple of days getting my sea legs with Rails and RSpec. I''d been waiting til things seemed calmer before jumping in, and I''m overall very happy with my experience so far. My only real annoyance so far has been forgetting to call "do_post" or "do_create" from my specify blocks. My mocks don''t get the calls they want, and it usually

I''m curious, Christian Neukirchen has released test/unit[1] that seems to mirror much of RSpec, but built on Test::Unit, so in some ways less brittle from a Rails-integration perspective, and also allowing you to mix the two together as appropriate. So, has anyone made an informed comparison? I''m new enough that I don''t really know the finer points yet. The syntax is

My problem has been listed here: http://railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?pid=25439#p25439 Don''t think it would be required to completely re-type it here :) Thanks! -- -Daniel Fischer http://danielfischer.com - Geek Blog http://abigfisch.com - Portfolio http://writersbeat.com - Writing Community

Is anyone using rspec with autotest? Scott

How would I go about writing specs for a lib, particularly one with all protected and private methods. I''m trying to spec the AuthenticatedSystem library from the rails restful_authentication plugin: http://pastie.caboo.se/103625 Also, when you''re mocking objects, a side-effect is helping you define the api of the object. Is there a way to get all the behaviors that

I''m trying to spec a view but haven''t done much view specing. This view render different partials depending on authentication of the user: annon, admin, player So I I''ll write if conditionals in the view with the partials it "should render signup propaganda for annon users trying to view games" do render "/games/index.rhtml"

Hi there, I can''t seem to access the fixture name as a class variable from my specs. I have to set the variable in the spec setup. ... [fixtures] my_fixture: id: 1 ...

Hi all. I''m trying to skip the Rails page cache if the user is logged in: --- # Rewrite index to check for static RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*logged_in=yes.*$ RewriteRule ^/$ /index.html [QSA] # Rewrite to check for Rails cached page RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*logged_in=yes.*$ RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA] # Redirect all non-static requests to cluster RewriteCond

Am I correct in remembering that autotest (with Test::Unit) would rerun all the tests if a subset of the tests passed? If so, shouldn''t this behaviour also be present in rspec''s autotest library? Scott

I am using restful_Authentication plugin combined with the built-in http_basic authentication Rails 2.0.2 The following code in my controller seemed to work fine, 1. before_filter :authenticate 2. 3. def authenticate 4. case request.format 5. when Mime::XML, Mime::ATOM 6. if user = authenticate_with_http_basic { |name, pass| User.authenticate(name,

Is anyone using RSpec with RESTful rails apps? In my rails controllers I check request.respond_to? and render different views accordingly. I noticed that the get method in the rails plugin doesn''t accept headers: controller_mixin.rb line 92 def get(action, parameters = nil) @request.env[''REQUEST_METHOD''] = ''GET'' process action,

Hi, I have a project that I had running under rspec 0.6.x and recently upgraded to 0.7.2. I am trying to isolate my controllers from the database as I go through and change all the specs to run under 0.7.2. I am having a problem where I need to make the create! method return the mocked object as well as raise RecordInvalid exception. Is this at all possible? I use the rescue statement in my
