should_redirect_to in rspec-0.8.0 / rspec_on_rails 1453
I have a spec:

post :edit_or_create, :user => {:login => ''joeschmoe'', :email =>
''joe at shmoe.com'', :email_confirmation => ''joe at shmoe.com'', :full_name
=> ''Joe Schmoe''}

Another RSpec on Rails issue: how to test send_file()
Hi!
Today I needed to implement some controller code, that uses send_file()
to send image data. How can this be tested / specified with RSpec?

How To Spec Controllers with Finders
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])

should_eql etc?
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 with the response.should_be_xxxx stacktrace?
If I do
get :index
response.should_be_success
I get about 20k of marshalled dumpage that starts like
#<ActionController::TestResponse:0x390443c @body=\"<html><body>You
are being <a href=\"http://test.host/carts/1\">redirected</a>.</body></html>\",
@assigns=[], @redirected_to={:action=>\"show\", :id=>1},

subject.should_be true
As things stand now, the following will all pass:
true.should_be true
"true".should_be true
"false".should_be true
3.should_be true
etc
My feeling is that "should_be true" should only pass if it returns
boolean true even though ruby says that non-nil/non-false is true.
Anybody else?

artificial sugar causes cancer
All,
If you look at http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=6760&group_id=797&atid=3149
you''ll see that Chad (the submitter) found the source of the bug.
Unfortunately, the source of *this* bug is the *solution* to a
*previous bug* in which Rails was replacing RSpec''s method missing
with its own.
When we settled on underscores, my one reservation was

DRYer controller specs
So, I''ve been following the recommendations for controller specs here:
http://blog.davidchelimsky.net/articles/2006/11/09/tutorial-rspec-stubs-and-mocks
Most notably: a single expectation per specify block; the setup block
contains only stubs; mock expectations each get their own specify
block. (I''m still using 0.8, so I haven''t gotten the describe/it
goodness yet.)

Seperate admin and public views using one controller REST CRUD
Hello,
I want to seperate my admin and public views but only use one
controller. How to seperate layouts ist clear but how can I tell the
controller to render the *.rhtml files in views/admin/ when logged in or
render the *.rhtml files in views/public/ (for example).
Thanks for any help!

Date comparisons
I occasionally get this error:
1)
''A puzzle once featured, should no longer be nominated'' FAILED
expected: Sun May 04 09:10:26 -0700 2008,
got: Sun May 04 09:10:26 -0700 2008 (using ==)

So, the dates looks the same to me. Any ideas for how to debug?

support for arbitrary comparisons
Mike Williams contributed a patch to support arbitrary comparisons.
This is now in the trunk and will be part of the next release. So you
will now be able to do this:
result.should_be < 5
result.should_be >= 7
It also supports alternate syntax for should_be, should_match
result.should == 3
result.should =~ /regex/
Personally, I prefer should_be and should_match in these cases, as I
think

changes in 0.8 and greater - should_
Has the should_... syntax changed? I''m getting errors when running
the following:
should_render(:index)
should_be_valid
should_not_be_valid
should_respond_to
should_be
should_render
I thought the syntax changed to something like the following:
obj.should render(:index)
but this doesn''t seem to work.

associations help?
I have Users who can "own" Projects. There is only one owner. Users in
general can be authorized to view certain projects. Here is my initial stab
at this:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :projects # ownership
has_many :project_viewers, :dependent => :destroy
has_many :projects, :through => :project_viewers, :uniq => true

What''s the new syntax for predicates?
@settings.should allow_publish_ip("127.0.0.1") fails with
undefined method `allow_publish_ip'' for #<#<Class:0x2f8fd48>:0x2f5a968>
@settings.should_allow_publish_ip("127.0.0.1") works fine
This is rspec 0.8.2.

Specifying that code is called in a block
Not sure if this is possible currently.
I have a section of code like this:
ActiveRecord::Base.transaction do
cow.save!
duck.save!
dog.save!
end
(Names changed to protect the innocent.)
I''d like to specify that the saves run in a transaction. I can do
ActiveRecord::Base.should_receive(:transaction).and_yield
But is there any way to specify that the code is

I want RSpec for CSS layout.
I don''t even know how it''d be possible (through Selenium?), but I want it.
I want to see if my stupid CSS hacks break. I want to say:
describe "#nav-column" do
body = something("#body-column")
it "should line up at the top" do
dom[:top].should_be == body.dom[:top]
end

ANN: RSpec 0.9.0 beta-1 available for download.
We''d like to get some feedback on RSpec 0.9 before we start pushing
out releases via Rubyforge''s gem server and update the website. We
have therefore made the first beta of 0.9 available - both prepackaged
and tagged in subversion (see below).
RSpec 0.9 introduces a new API for expectations, which essentially
means that your underscores go away (there has been other discussions

1 should be 2. huh?
There''s another quirk I wanted to bring up. It''s about the failure
message with should_equal and should_be.
x.should_equal 2
a.should_not_be nil
When they fail they yield messages like:
1 should equal 2
nil should not be nil
When I''m caught off guard, which can be often, these messages confuse
me. 1 should equal 2? No it shouldn''t. nil should not be
