The new "pending" example feature reminds me of a feature I''ve been bouncing around in my head, to aid in refactoring. Often, when I''m changing existing behaviour, I know that certain aspects of the old behaviour should change. Imagine changing the "it" method to perhaps "not" or "old" or "removed"... The behaviour would be to

I spent the last couple of days getting my sea legs with Rails and RSpec. I''d been waiting til things seemed calmer before jumping in, and I''m overall very happy with my experience so far. My only real annoyance so far has been forgetting to call "do_post" or "do_create" from my specify blocks. My mocks don''t get the calls they want, and it usually

Hi All I''m having some problems running my view specs when using simply_helpful. I have it semi-working via the following: module SimplyHelpfulHelper def self.included(base) base.send :include, SimplyHelpful::RecordIdentificationHelper base.send :include, SimplyHelpful::RecordTagHelper end end context "The index template" do setup do @shift =

I wrote this abomination just now, and wonder if anyone else has had experience with the pattern behind it. In short, I''m specing an after_create hook on an ActiveRecord model, that calls a bunch of private methods. Instead of stubbing all those private methods (which is verboten anyway, as well as impossible because creating the object which owns those methods is what I''m

Am I correct in remembering that autotest (with Test::Unit) would rerun all the tests if a subset of the tests passed? If so, shouldn''t this behaviour also be present in rspec''s autotest library? Scott

Is anyone using RSpec with RESTful rails apps? In my rails controllers I check request.respond_to? and render different views accordingly. I noticed that the get method in the rails plugin doesn''t accept headers: controller_mixin.rb line 92 def get(action, parameters = nil) @request.env[''REQUEST_METHOD''] = ''GET'' process action,

This release upgrades the included Ruby to version 1.8.4 and will become the final 1.0 release of Instant Rails if no serious problems are found. Instant Rails is a one-stop Rails runtime solution containing Ruby, Rails, Apache, and MySQL, all preconfigured and ready to run. No installer, you simply drop it into the directory of your choice and run it. It does not modify your system environment.

Is anyone using rspec with autotest? Scott

Hello - I''m currently trying to write some specs for my rails views. My views depend upon the restful authentication plugin method logged_in? Like so, <% if logged_in? %> <ul id="product-admin-nav"> <dd><%= link_to "create a new product", new_product_url %></dd> </ul> <% end %> However, when I have the following

Hi all, We''re thinking about retiring the test2spec translation tool because it''s becoming a maintenance problem. Is anyone using it? Would anyone miss it if it went away? Aslak

Hi, I have a project that I had running under rspec 0.6.x and recently upgraded to 0.7.2. I am trying to isolate my controllers from the database as I go through and change all the specs to run under 0.7.2. I am having a problem where I need to make the create! method return the mocked object as well as raise RecordInvalid exception. Is this at all possible? I use the rescue statement in my

Not sure if this is old news or not, but it would appear that both the Ruby Cookbook and a Rails book are now available for purchase at O''Reilly Rough Cuts (something akin to PragProg''s beta book program): http://rubyurl.com/nHz http://my.safaribooksonline.com/?mode=roughcuts&srchtext=ROUGHCUTS I haven''t tried them yet, but it definitely seems worth checking out.

I am testing a resource called venue in this piece of code (generated using script/rspec_resource) ==================== context "Requesting /venues using POST" do controller_name :venues setup do @mock_venue = mock(''Venue'') @mock_venue.stub!(:save).and_return(true) @mock_venue.stub!(:to_param).and_return(1) Venue.stub!(:new).and_return(@mock_venue)

Hi, First, excuse me if this post is a bit offtopic, maybe this should be posted in the debian-users maillist, but I just wanted to read your experiences with this kind of setup, since I've migrated the server to Debian Sarge using LDAP Backend to serve clients using WinXP and Win98, and I've got this serious problems: - Samba segfaults [1] - slapd process crashes very often, almost

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

After a long week agonizing over a scheduling library, and then specing it out rather quickly, I''ve got some work I''m pretty happy with. As a contrast to Test::Unit, I like the way RSpec spreads my attention around the codebase while I concentrate on implementing specific behaviours. In Test::Unit, I tend to write tests around the private methods of the object under test. I
