Hi there, Why are the instantiated fixtures turned off by default in the rspec on rails plugin? This was not the case in older versions. After upgrading (and much head scratching) I had to turn on the instantiated_fixtures in spec_helper thusly ... self.use_instantiated_fixtures = true Regards, Keith

Hi there, I''ve installed rspec, rails plugin & generators thusly: $ sudo gem install rspec $ sudo gem install rspec_generator $ sudo gem install zentest -v 3.4.1 $ ./script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/tags/REL_0_7_2/vendor/rspec_on_rails/vendor/plugins/rspec $ ./script/generate rspec $ ./script/generate rspec_model ModelName With Rails version: $ rails

Hi there, I installed the rspec on rails plugin for a new project today and guess what -- it blows up! All by other rspec on rails projects are working fine. I updated all gems & still no joy. Any ideas how I can troubleshoot this one ? Here''s my setup: - ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [powerpc-darwin8.7.0] - Rails 1.2.5 Installed with svn: ruby script/plugin install

I am taking over a code base and am trying to run the tests. I am somewhat new to RSpec so this might be a trivial problem. Basically I can tell that the fixtures are not getting loaded. All 100 tests fail with a similar error. But I don''t know why. Below is the code, with my narrative with *** before it... Can you see anything or give me a clue where to look. So far I am coming up

Hi, I starting a new project, and have run into behavior I cannot replicate in irb, (i.e. outside of using rspec) when the directory? returns true, so I thought I''d ask here, in case any one has seen this badhavior. ruby-1.9.2-p136 rspec (2.5.0) rspec-core (2.5.1) rspec-expectations (2.5.0) rspec-mocks (2.5.0) When I try to run this spec: require Pathname(__FILE__).ascend { |d|

Hi there, Is it just me or do many other rspec / rpsec_on_rails users spend more time than they would like feeding the framework ? Don''t get me wrong, I love rpsec, but I seem to spend about 2/3 hours per week hunting down rspec problems. For example, today `rake spec:models` is broken. When I migrate, load fixtures and run `spec -cfs` all is well. When I run `rake spec:models`,

this my first rspec test, it is very simple ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../spec_helper'') describe Doc do fixtures :docs before(:each) do @doc=docs(:yjn_bjy) end it "should create a new instance

For those interested .... rake spec:models seems to clone the test database from development. If your dev db is empty, the models task fails mysteriously. Anyway, to make sure your dev db is at the current migration version, I added this dependency in lib/tasks task ''spec:models'' => ''db:migrate'' Now the dev db is migrated up with each test pass.

I am getting the error when I run the command: rake spec This is a new project with not current test written besides the ones auto-created for me. +++++++++ $ rake spec (in /Users/chrisolsen/Projects/Rails/chrisolsen/trunk) /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:266:in `load_missing_constant'': uninitialized constant ProjectsHelper

Hi there, I have a *really* weird issue with rspec on rails: Given a time meridian formatted using %p When I run `rake spec` the time meridian is converted to lower case: expected: "Today 08:00 PM", got: "Today 08:00 pm" Yet when I run `rake spec:models` and `spec -cfs app/models` the specs pass, ie the the time meridian is in upper case. Anyone got any ideas how I

Hi, Since moving this morning from 0.7.5.1 to 0.8.2 I''ve hit some problems and I''m not sure if it''s something I''m doing wrong or a change in 0.8.2 Basically I dislike fixtures so I have been using a helper method to create an object I need frequently and setting it up in the setup method, in 0.7.5.1 this all worked fine - but since moving to 0.8.2

Hi All, I''m trying to make use of template.expects_render, is outlined in David''s post(http://blog.davidchelimsky.net/articles/2007/06/28/ template-expects_render). I get an undefined method error on expects_render. I made sure I had the 1.0.8 gem as well as reinstalling the plugin and redoing the bootstrap. Still no luck. So I created a clean project, installed the

Here is a very simple spec: -- require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../spec_helper'') describe Product, "The Product model" do describe "When a new blank product object gets created" do before(:each) do @product = Product.new end it "should not be valid" do @product.should_not be_valid

I''m trying to test registration emails (sent with devise), and I keep getting the error: Net::SMTPServerBusy: 454 4.7.1 <model_spec-hcDgGtZH8xNBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org>: Relay access denied I''m running Rails 3.2.11 with Capybara, and I have (temporarily) chopped my spec_helper.rb and test.rb files down to the bare minimum, still getting the error above.

With rspec 1.0.8 I have a spec in the directory: spec/units/controllers/application_controller_spec.rb require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../../spec_helper'' class DummyController < ApplicationController def index raise "Prevent index from rendering" end end describe ApplicationController, "Handling errors in production", :behaviour_type =>

Hi all. Does anybody use Rspec with Oracle? I have RoR app + Oracle DB. I use Rspec 0.9.4. I have installed Rspec plugin and generated spec for model Country. If I use "@countries = Country.new" in my spec I get "ArgumentError in ''Country should be valid'' block not supplied /vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails/lib/spec/rails/extensions/kernel.rb: 12:in

I''m trying to write specs for a plugin I''m developing named audit_fu, and I''m running into a problem which I can''t get past it. I''ve got the same specs setup in the main rails app, and everything works fine there, it''s just running the plugin specs that I''m having a problem with. My setup is: - edge rails - edge rspec (in

This is perhaps a naive question, but what is the recommended manner of testing a helper method in rspec? I have created a simple string manipulation function and I want to write some tests for it. It it were a script then I would just add if __FILE__ == $0 and add the tests below that but I do not feel that this is the best way to handle a rails helper. The code (I said it was simple) :

I followed the directions on the site: ruby script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/tags/CURRENT/rspec ruby script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/tags/REL_1_0_8/rspec_on_rails ruby script/generate rspec And apparently everything was ok. But when I do a "rake spec" on the app folder none of the Rails models are visible. Here is the error: (in

I have a controller that gets a list of employees (which has an "include => [:salaries, :incentives, :billablegoals, :reviews]"). I then need it to iterate through each employee and determine their current active goal based on the "effective date." After playing around with it a bunch, I got the following to work. Only problem is that if I remove the "@employees.each {
