similar to: Using rspec_on_rails without a test database

hi list - should it be possible to use autotest to continuously run specs for a non-rails project? when i execute autotest in the base directory of my project, it complains that it cannot load rspec_autotest, however looking at rspec_autotest[1] and rspec_rails_autotest.rb, it appears as though both are geared towards rails (perhaps even rspec on rails). cheers, jean-pierre [1]

Josh Knowles http://joshknowles.com/ just let me know that ZenTest Autotest 3.50 now handles your RSpec specs. http://blog.zenspider.com/archives/2007/04/zentest_version_350_has_been_released.html That''s a great news. Josh also shared with me a quick hack to make autotest work with only the RSpec plugin installed. Add the following into your ~/.autotest file

Hello, I''ve been trying to google the definitive way to combine autotest, rspec, and spec-server, but to no avail. It seems like there are lots of suggestions from old versions. Furthermore, some commands such as rake:autotest don''t seem to be around anymore. So, is it required to install ZenTest as a gem? I have version 3.9.1. I believe this gets me the autotest

Is the rspec_autotest plugin mentioned here, http://blog.nicksieger.com/articles/2006/11/15/rspec-autotest-now-a-rails-plugin the accepted method of auto testing specs? It''s an old article, and after grabbing the plugin, and giving it a run, it fails with: $ rake spec:autotest:rails trunk/vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails/lib/spec/rails/dsl/behaviour/rails_example.rb:31: undefined method

Hi, I''ve been using the rspec and rspec_on_rails plugins quite happily on my Rails project for a while now. Today I noticed the autotest support in RSpec-1.0.3 and decided to give that a spin. Oh tragedy! $ autotest loading autotest/rails_rspec ./vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails/lib/autotest/rails_rspec.rb:33:in `initialize'': undefined method `singularize''

Has anyone else encountered this problem? What I mean is, rspec_autotest runs all specs, then waits. When you change a spec, it reruns that spec. However, if that spec now passes, it should run the whole suite again, so you can see the next one to work on. It no longer does this. This renders it somewhat useless. Does anyone have autotest working with rspec 0.7.5, or does anyone have any

Hi all, I have an array of shipping_type''s being returned, and I want to see what is in there. In the past I have done: shipping_type.include?(Cart::SHIPPING_TYPE_REGULAR).should be_true This works, but looks really ugly.. It just doesn''t roll of the tongue very well. I then looked up the use of Predicates, which I had been using, but hadn''t realized:

I believe for rails projects you can put rspec''s code repos into vendor/plugins, and autotest will automatically use the rspec binary in that directory, and not the gem installed. Is there an easy way to do this for non-rails projects? There are a few advancements on trunk which I would like to take advantage of. Tips welcome ; ). Scott Taylor

Has anyone attempted to run Rails inside of JRuby? Is that even possible? Aside from the performance implications, is it a bad idea? I''m thinking that it might be useful in very rare cases where a Ruby/Rails - equivalent of a Java solution may not exist yet. Any thoughts? Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

False Positives I just discovered how easy it was to create a false positive when I, trying my first RSpec test, did this: ob.should eql?(''foo'') instead of: ob.should eql(''foo'') or: ob.should == ''foo'' As far as I can see, this is roughly equivalent to: ob.should false Neither eql?(''foo'') nor false causes the spec

Autotest is running continuously - even when the files mtimes aren''t changing. I believe this only happens if using a failures file. autotest -v gives me: euclid% autotest -v loading autotest/rails_rspec /opt/local/bin/ruby -S script/spec -O spec/spec.opts spec/ controllers/log_entries_controller_spec.rb spec/views/login/ new_spec.rb spec/controllers/login_controller_spec.rb

I ran into something really puzzling today. I don''t know exactly why it''s happening, but I thought I''d share my experiences.

Just upgraded to latest rails and rspec builds and my autotest doesnt work undefined method `before'' for Spec::Rails::DSL::RailsExample:Class (NoMethodError) Here''s the full trace: http://pastie.caboo.se/112754 Any ideas? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

When I work with a .html.erb file, the autotest rspec on rails stuff doesn''t understand the file to map it to the right test. I wanted to submit a patch for this, but I''m unsure where the specs would be to update. I found the necessary mapping in rspec_autotest.rb, but I can''t find any specs anywhere. Help? I just need to have /app/views/coupon/index.html.erb to map to
