similar to: RSpec with Rails but without any database

Hello! I have a lot of contexts for testing Rails controllers, that must do something like ''session[:logged_in] = true'' in their setup. How can this be refactored? In unit tests I would simply create a LoggedInControllerTest base class, that all my functional tests would derive from. And another small question: In my controller specifications I often have to decide whether to

Hi all, I am trying to use rspec_on_rails in a Rails app that doesn''t have a database. so far I have just been faking it out by dumping in a sqlite3 database just to make Rails happy. I was using for test::unit a rake task that eliminated the calls to database prep: # Added this .rake file to keep Rake happy without a database. # Remove once a database is in the picture.

Hi! Is it possible to run unit tests when no database is configured? Rails recipes mentions putting following piece of code in a file within lib/tasks/ [:test_units,:test_functional,:recent].each do |name| Rake::Task.lookup(name).prerequisites.clear end However this seem to be out-of-date, as task lookup in rake according to RDoc is now done using Rake:Task[name]. But after I updated the

rspec_resource_generator ======================== By Pat Maddox Use this generator to generate RESTful scaffolding with RSpec specifications. Syntax is exactly the same as the scaffold_resource generator: ./script/generate rspec_resource ModelName [field:type field:type] When you run this generator, it will create a migration, model, and model spec file. In addition, it gives you a RESTful

I found an awesome feature today. When you''re setting expectations, you can actually pattern match the parameters to methods. Here''s my discussion and example: http://evang.eli.st/blog/2007/1/19/parameter-matching-in-rspec Pat

I have a multiple text files, separated by a single space, that I need to combine into a single data.frame. Below is the track I'm on using list.files to capture the names of the files and then lapply with read.table. But I run into problems making a usable dataframe out of the data. #Creating example data in similar format to data I have sub <- rep(1,10) trial <- seq(1,10,1) size

Hi! I''m still struggling with RSpec to get it working with a Rails application, that does not use a database. I removed all the db:* dependencies from the RSpec targets, but it still wants to connect to a database. Any ideas? bye, Tobias ** Execute spec:models /usr/bin/ruby1.8 -I"/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-0.7.5/lib"

I have a table with some data structured something like this: book ---- title (varchar) pages (int) completed_on (date) While I can find the shortest book completed in each year with something like this: select min( pages ), year from book group by year I would also like to get the title of the shortest book in each year. Is there any way to do this by modifying the previous query to pull

Started a new Rails project, and installed RSpec and the Rails plugin vendor/plugins/rspec (svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/trunk/rspec) - 1332 vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails (svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/trunk/rspec_on_rails/vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails) - 1332 Generated the rspec file, created a model...the spec runs fine if I do ruby spec/models/foo_spec.rb. Running rake though gives

Hi Easy one - I just wondered why all spec files for rspec_on_rails end "_spec.rb" instead of just ".rb"? They are all inside the spec folder so surely the fact they are specs is implicit? Ashley

Using Igraph, I create shortest paths, then convert the matrix into three column vectors - "vertex1", "vertex2", "shortestpath" - as the code below shows. #code for generating shortest path matrix and creating a 3 columns from an igraph graph object "y" y_s<-shortest.paths(y, weights = NULL) y_s <- melt(y_s)[melt(upper.tri(y_s))$value,] #Step 2: this

I must be missing something obvious here but I cannot seem to see it. I have this step definition: When /entity named "(.*)" has a legal name "(.*)"/ do |name, legal| myentity = Entity.find_by_entity_common_name!(name.hll_keycase) myentity.entity_legal_name.should equal legal.hll_keycase end Which fails with this: And the entity named "Myuser" has a legal

I can''t figure out how to build rspec-rails as a gem when just cloned from github... there isn''t any .gemspec file or rake task that does this. Any help? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, David. Spill intervals must be precolored because they can't be spilled once more. They are the shortest intervals precisely over each def/use of the original interval. That is why they also have their weights set to #INF. Imagine that on a second iteration allocation algorithm figures out that some spilled interval can't be assigned a physical register. Allocator can't spill it

hello, I have a graph and i use qgraph package to calculate centrality parameters. Now I want to know the maximum value of shortest path for each vertex with discarding the Inf value in short pathes. For this I use the ShortestPathLengths of centrality function in qgraph. but when I want to get the maximum the result is wrong. here is my code: cen<-centrality(Q)

I''d like to change the rspec directory structure from /spec /model /controllers etc to /spec /unit /models /controllers /lib /functional /models /controllers etc. Basically the Jay Fields style of testing -- I want the unit tests to be run all the time on a continuous integration server, but the integration/functional and system tests to be run

Can anyone (David?) shed some light on what exactly this warning is complaining about? I started seeing it when I upgraded to Rails 2.1 RC1 and the latest RSpec from git. I''m getting it in some helper specs that I''m writing. And yes, I am including a module there, to reuse some utility methods I originally wrote for my controller tests (I''m switching to specs

We''ve just added rspec stories to our CruiseControl.rb build. When there''s a failing scenario we see the failure in the log output, but it doesn''t cause the CruiseControl build to fail. We''ve also just upgraded to the latest rspec version, 1.1.4, which fixes rspec bug 228, but the CC.rb build is still passing. Has anyone got failing rspec stories making

Hi, I have a question about computing shortest Euclidean distances between two data frames of spatial points... I have 2 dataframes (not yet converted to spatial class) >Sewers<-data.frame(x=c(10,20,35,50),y=c(100,150,200,300)) >transect <- data.frame(x=seq(from=0, to=50, by=1),y=seq(from=100, to=150, by=1)) I would like to be able to compute the shortest distance from the

Dear R Users, I have a network of 25000 total nodes and a list of 500 node which is a subset of all nodes. Now I want to calculate the APSP (all pair shortest path) matrix only for these 500 nodes.
