similar to: model stubs with view/controller specs: error_messages_for??

I''m trying to use rspec to test a controller that has ajax. I have the following action: def change_ad_type_form render :update do |page| page.replace_html ''ad_sub_form'', :partial => ''text'' end end and the following spec: specify "should return Text subform on AJAX request to change_ad_type_form" do

Has anyone else encountered this problem? What I mean is, rspec_autotest runs all specs, then waits. When you change a spec, it reruns that spec. However, if that spec now passes, it should run the whole suite again, so you can see the next one to work on. It no longer does this. This renders it somewhat useless. Does anyone have autotest working with rspec 0.7.5, or does anyone have any

Hi I''m trying to spec a call to error_messages_for to avoid stubbing out whole models. Something like this: context "A rendered calculate_quote view" do setup do @form = mock("form") assigns[:form] = @form end specify "should render the error messages" do <SOMETHING>.should_receive(:error_messages_for).with

What is the general opinion about fixtures versus mocking and stubbing in model specs? I heard from agile on IRC that they save the database testing for integration testing, but I also see that the caboose sample applicaiton uses fixtures. I also noticed that on the rspec site, it says "Ironically (for the traditional TDD''er) these are the only specs that we feel should actually

Hi everyone, I am relatively new to rspec and I am running into a wall in testing my views. I have a RESTful resource Contracts with a nested resource of Line_items. I am trying to figure out how to test the "edit" form of the Line_items. What complicates this is the nested routing and how to account for it, and that there is a partial form (_form.haml) that both the edit.haml and

im trying to deploy my app on our staging server and am running into an issue. we have a MySQL NDB cluster for the staging box. this basically means that the staging box should be able to use MySQL via localhost and it will automatically know it''s in a cluster. When running queries, it will go out to the real DB boxes instead of localhost to fetch the data. AFAIK, the clustering setup

Hi all, I have a problem in that when I plot points that have a high degree of precision, some significant rounding seems to occur, resulting in uneccessary overlap of my points. Is there a way to specify the resolution or precision in plotting functions? Is there an underlying grid I have to modify somehow? Many Thanks, Jon -- Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy. A

Hi all - I''ve applied (to trunk) Bob Cotton''s patch which supports shared behaviours (link to tracker below). I''m still toying w/ names, so please be aware that until this is released w/ 0.9 it should be considered experimental and there will NOT be translation support for it. It will definitely be included in some form - just the names (specifically

I wanted to group some functions which I use in some models in one place. Controllers have application.rb and views have helpers but I couldn''t find anything about models. Using the /lib directory seemed to be the only way. Alright... so I have something like this: /lib/code.rb class ActiveRecord::Base def method_a(n) ....... end def method_b(n) ........ end end

Hello, Ingo! I''m copying your question to a new e-mail instead of replying to try to keep message threads separate. Have you tried setting up your expectation before issuing the get statement? For example, take this out of the setup block: get ''index'', :locale => ''en'' and move it after:

In case anyone else is trying to make this work, here is what I did (Before 0.7.4 I had patched the regex in zentest redgreen, but that is not used any more) To use directly, it is very simple. In rspec_autotest/lib/ rspec_autotest.rb, add a -c to the spec_command in the initializer function: @spec_command = "spec -c --diff unified" This won''t help however if you want

Hi, I have this save routine: def customer_address_create customer_options @customer = Customer.find(params[:id]) @customer.addresses.create(params[:address]) @saved = @customer.save end That passes to a rjs template like this: if @saved page.visual_effect :Fold, ''add_address'' page.replace_html ''addresses'', :partial =>

I am having trouble getting error_messages_for to work.

Greetings, I''m in the throws of deploying an app on site5, and I''m getting strange errors. I think I might need to understand how error_messages_for works. I get a pretty standard looking error: " You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base. The error occured while evaluating nil.errors Extracted

Hi, I wonder why error_messages_for take strings as params instead of instance variables. error_messages_for ''user'' instead of error_messages_for @user ''user'' is translated into @user eventually. If so, who not take the instance variables directly? Is there any reason for that? Thanks in advance. Sam -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
