similar to: Edge RSpec on Rails...what did I forget?

So I''d been running gem releases of rspec for the past several months, and I installed edge rspec so that I can use Story Runner. I''m running into a problem because I''ve got a couple rake tasks that reference "spec/rake/raketask". If I try to run "rake spec" then it pulls in the gem version instead of the plugin version. rake blows up saying that

Is it too late to suggest some filename conventions for example rspec files--especially when bundling with gems? I see spec_foo.rb and foo_spec.rb around. Also found some foo_ex.rb around. Would having a foo.rspec be worth talking about? Or is the convention more or less to have ''spec'' in the file name? I have to confess the only real motivation I have at the moment is syntax

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

context "A new Foo" specify "should be open" do Foo.new.should_be_open end end ArgumentError in ''A new Foo should be open'' wrong number of arguments (0 for 1) ./foo_spec.rb:9: class Foo def open?; true; end end What''s the deal with that? I looked in the RDoc and nothing seems to define open?. I can get around it for now by doing the

I''ve got the following expectation: response.should redirect_to(:action => "new", :video_id => "1", :process_id => "2", :origin_id => "3") that fails with this error message: expected redirect to {:video_id=>"1", :process_id=>"2", :origin_id=>"3", :action=>"new"}, got redirect to

Is it OK to go ahead and generate a Rails 2.0 project with RSpec 1.0.8? Am I likely to run into problems? Would it be best advised to wait or can I go ahead now?

Hello, I''m working with scaffold generated controller test code for handling GET requests. Address is the model being tested. Address belongs_to Company, Company has_many addresses. In my addresses_controller I have: before_filter :get_company def index @addresses = @company.addresses.find(:all) respond_to do |format| format.html # index.html.erb format.xml {

@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. http://rspec.rubyforge.org/documentation/expectations.html says that matching arbitrary predicates is deprecated and to see

I''d like to start gathering information/debating on the advantages/disadvantages of using it "should ..." vs other techniques. Dan North explained why we should use should: http://dannorth.net/introducing-bdd/ I used to use it "should ..." for the projects I was on, until I was challenged by a fellow developer who started using it with an active voice. For example

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 mentioned this in another thread, but I''ve got a formal request now. After reading tons of stuff about REST, I don''t really get it. I need to see an example. I''d like someone to write up an example blog app with these requirements - RESTful using the simply_restful plugin (or edge rails) - allows posting of comments to articles - has categories for posts No need

I want to use ActiveResource in my app. Instead of hitting server though, I want it to load from a file when I call find. Any clue how I do that? Pat

I created a project, made a migration, generated scaffolding...start up webrick and I get nothing. To simplify things, I just started another project and generated a controller, still getting nothing. The index page loads fine, but nothing beyond that. If I go to anything that should give me a 404, the page is just blank. The Webrick console just says a 500 (nothing explaining why), and

I''ve got enough models now that I''d like to separate them into modules. For example, I have the class Player that I want to stick in the Trainer module. I''ve changed the definition to class Trainer::Player I''ve created a models/trainer dir, test/unit/trainer, and test/fixtures/trainer. Change the PlayerTest class to be Trainer::PlayerTest. I get the

I finally got around to upgrading from 0.8.2 (!!). I had a spec which looked like specify "should render abc123" do controller.should_render :text => "abc123" get :key end With 1.0.0, the new spec is it "should render abc123" do get :key response.should render_text("abc123") end However it doesn''t work, giving me the error: undefined

I saw the RCov page at http://rspec.rubyforge.org/tools/rcov.html and decided to add it to my project. My rakefile looks like this: require "rake" require "spec/rake/spectask" desc "Run all specs with RCov" Spec::Rake::SpecTask.new("spec:rcov") do |t| t.spec_files = FileList["spec/**/*_spec.rb"] t.rcov = true end When I run rake spec:rcov,

I''m running FreeBSD 6.1 and installed the 1.0.1.1 mongrel_cluster prerelease. I had a problem with the mongrels not stopping, and it turns out it''s because ps is reporting my processes as just [ruby18] instead of someting more like "mongrel_rails start -d ......." Not sure why it''s doing that, but it is. Any ideas? For the time being I just changed line

I''m writing a simple app that doesn''t need to use a database. I added :active_record to the config.frameworks -= line in environment.rb file. This lets me run ./script/generate fine without complaining about no connection. However if I try to run a functional test, it complains about no connection being established. Well...I don''t want a connection to be established.

I''m using Jim Weirich''s Builder library. The code I want to spec is xml.video do xml.id @video_id xml.views @views xml.date(@date.to_s) if @date end I''d like to mock it, rather than asserting that the XML is the right string. I can do one spec: specify "should create a video tag" do @mock_builder.should_receive(:video)

I''ve got a form on my page, and when the user submits it, sometimes I''d like to update an element on my page, and sometimes I''d like to redirect the browser to another url entirely. However if I do redirect_to, it just updates the element with the results of the redirect. Is it possible to do what I want, or will I need to use RJS to do this? Pat
