similar to: RSpec usage

I seem to be missing something because I am at a loss on how to get rcov, RSpec, and Rails working together. Would someone mind dropping some hints?

Hello, I''m scheduled to give a rspec brown bag this Wednesday (11/22) for my company (Pivotal Computer Systems, http://www.pivotalsf.com). I did see Dave Astel''s talk as well as several of my coworkers. The developers at my workplace are experienced Agile developers. What would be some good things to focus on for this brown bag? Are there slides to presentations that would be

I admit it, when it comes to rSpec, I''m lazy. I''ve made a few feeble attempts to use it, but for once I''m waiting for a book-length treatment. At least two books were announced, I think. Can anyone in the know please report on their progress? Thanks Michael -- Michael Schuerig mailto:michael at schuerig.de http://www.schuerig.de/michael/

Hi Trying to get rcov going (has been working), but with the following context and specs it fails. context ''/account POST with invalid attendee'' do controller_name :account setup do Attendee.stub!(:create!).and_raise(ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid.new( Attendee.new)) end specify ''should raise on create'' do Attendee.should_receive(:create!).with({

If I have a step matcher defined as so: Given "a user named $username" do |username| .... end Is there a way to call it from another step? For example: Given "a user named $username with a blog post |username| given_a_user_named(username) # calls existing step code # create a blog post end Cheers, -- Bryan Helmkamp http://brynary.com -- My blog

Hey guys, We developed this plugin while writing my first real set of RSpec stories. It''s still missing a lot of functionality, but it''s useful to us as is, so I''m shipping 0.1.0. (Patches welcome. :) ) Code is available at: http://svn.eastmedia.net/public/plugins/webrat/ What do you think? -Bryan Here''s the README:

I tried running a spec with command-r in TextMate and got: /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/RSpec.tmbundle/Support/ lib/spec_mate.rb:1:in `require'': No such file to load -- rubygems (LoadError) from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ RSpec.tmbundle/Support/lib/spec_mate.rb:1 from /tmp/ temp_textmate.GplhPr:3:in `require'' from

Hi, I''m trying the specs for restful_authentication I found here http://jonathan.tron.name/articles/2007/01/02/rspec-on-rails-restful- authentication It seems to use custom .should methods: should_eql, should_be_an_instance_of, should_redirect_to, should_be_success, should_not_be_nil, should_be_nil, should_not_be_nil, should_be_empty, should_be_success, should_not_change, and

What''s the status on a rake task for the story runner. If nothing is in progress, where could I start to try and build one? JD

I am completely baffled by this one - My guess is that there is no pure ruby way to do this - but how could I set up a spec to test that one method is an alias of another? Thanks for any help, Scott

I''m simultaneously getting into using Mocha and RSpec-style tests (courtesy of the simply_bdd plugin) and I''m struggling with some issues while trying to organize my specs/test. Here''s a code example illustrating the problem: context "update cliient invalid data" do include ClientsControllerSpecHelper specify "should render edit form" do

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''

Now that RSpec is nearing 1 dot oh, are there any plans to implement an integration testing equivalent in RSpec On Rails?

For those interested .... rake spec:models seems to clone the test database from development. If your dev db is empty, the models task fails mysteriously. Anyway, to make sure your dev db is at the current migration version, I added this dependency in lib/tasks task ''spec:models'' => ''db:migrate'' Now the dev db is migrated up with each test pass.

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

Hello, in the tunk, i found a new style for spec: describe Foo do it "should do bar" do ... end end instead of context "Foo" context "should do bar" ... end end The Rails-Textmate-bundle in trunk use only the new "describe-it" style, What are the reasons for the new style ? Shall i use the new style from now on ? Hussein

Hi all, We''ve recently been kicking around different ideas for simulating user behaviour for the purposes of load testing our backend. We hit on the idea of having user stories do double duty for both verifying behaviour and (if selected stories were driven en-masse by a distributed network of clients) for application load testing. I googled around a bit and didn''t find

Hey folks, How do I mock a model that is given to me by a Rails plugin? I''m trying to mock Session from the restful_authentication plugin but I get a number of errors telling me RSpec doesn''t recognize Session. NameError in ''SessionsController handling GET /sessions/new should be successful'' uninitialized constant Session An example of my usage:

I''m spec''ing a model with an observer that sends mail. Mailers behave similarly to controllers, so to make the whole thing work, I believe something like integrate_views has to be available. Has anyone dealt with observers and ActionMailer? Thanks

Hey all, I just found Bryan Helmkamp''s (of webrat fame) slides on a presentation he did at GoRuCo 2008: http://www.brynary.com/2008/4/26/story-driven-development-slides-posted On slides 21-24 he talks about writing good stories and shows gives two examples.. the way not to do it and the way to do it.
