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

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?

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

Testing has_many :through
I''m working with a has_many :through association, where a Member
has_many Projects through ProjectViewers. The problem I''m running
into is that Rails doesn''t load the association so line (3) fails
until I explicitly access a member of the collection (in this case, I
iterated it). Is there a better way?
Thanks,
Steve

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
it "should always be to the right" do

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.

what''s with the response.should_be_xxxx stacktrace?
If I do

response.should_be_success
I get about 20k of marshalled dumpage that starts like

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

UI testing framework? (w/o selenium)
Hey all,
I am currently working on coming up w/ an easy to use, developer-centric web
testing framework to test a J2EE app with. (I have 3 rails apps in
production, love rspec, and am currently at a java shop).
I''ve looked at selenium, and it just doesn''t seem like it is ready for prime
time, and the target audience is developers. So, having said that, does

.class call to the mock object (or any existing methods)
Hi
I run into problem trying to set expectations for the mockobject.class
method, I had to undefine a method before I could set some expectation. Is
there any better way of doing it?
object = mock()
....
klass = class <<object; self; end
klass.send(:undef_method, "class") # I had to do this because Mocha
utilizes "method_missing(symbol, *arguments, &block) "

new handling of equality
All,
Based mostly on the earlier thread on "should_be", we have introduced
a new branch called should_be_working_like_ruby with the new proposed
handling for equality.
Per the CHANGES file in that branch (rev 896):
============================================
IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS RELEASE IS NOT 100% BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE TO 0.6.x
This release changes the way RSpec handles equality.

mocking missing methods
Hi folks.
So I''m using mocha on a ruby project, and I really like it. One thing
I''ve noticed is that it can be a bit "surprising" when I''m mocking
methods that don''t exist on an object, and I think there''s an easyish fix.
At the moment, you use sheep = mock() to create a mock sheep. What I''d
like to do is something like sheep =

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.)

actual.should != not_expected
All,
In dealing with the changes to should in the
should_be_working_like_ruby branch, I am reminded that while we got
the following to work ...
actual.should_be < value
actual.should_be <= value
actual.should == value
actual.should =~ value
actual.should_be >= value
actual.should_be > value
... we were not able to get this to work:
actual.should != value

Dead easy Watir AND Selenium
Yesterday I added some Watir examples to RSpec''s svn.
Today I added some Selenium (actually - Selenium Remote Control) examples.
It''s dead easy to use both, and the Ruby code you end up writing is
actually quite similar. Here''s a taste:
== Watir ==

why doesn't an instance of Object get Class's new instance method?
"Object is the root of Ruby''s class hierarchy. Its methods are
available to all classes unless explicitly overridden."
Wouldn''t Class class be at the root of the class hierarchy?
After all, look at this:
1.9.2p290 :006 > Object.instance_of? Class
=> true
Object is an instance of class, after all we can use one of Class''
instance methods on Object:

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

Lost root access
So on a virtual server the root password was no longer working (as in
I couldn't ssh in anymore). Only I and one other know it and neither
of us have changed it. No other account had the correct privileges to
correct this so I'm wondering, if I had mounted that vdi as a
secondary device on another VM, browsed the file system and delete
/etc/shadow would this have wiped all users passwords

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.
