I''ve decided that I want to use more automated tests because I''ve been intrigued by the idea of BDD. I am new to using tests, so I''m curious if there have been any writeup on using rSpec. This is one of the only ones I''ve found: http://blog.teksol.info/articles/2005/11/17/building-a-plugin-on-rspec It seems that the benefit of BDD is that it makes it

<http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=10368> Came across this as a stub page browsing Amazon UK. This is good news! I''m surprised it hasn''t been discussed on the list before. Was Chad keeping it a secret? I hope it will have plenty of BDD theory. I''m still waiting for that magic book I can give to someone and say "here - read this, it

The RSpec Development Team is pleased to announce the release of RSpec-1.0.8. RSpec 1.0.6 is the "holy cow, batman, it''s been a long time since we released and there are a ton of bug fixes, patches and even new features" release. RSpec 1.0.7 and 1.0.8 deal with a regression introduced in 1.0.6 and a hiccup in releasing 1.0.7, respectively. == RSpec RSpec is a Behaviour Driven

Hello, I''m scheduled to give a rspec brown bag this Wednesday (11/22) for my company (Pivotal Computer Systems, http://www.pivotalsf.com). I did see Dave Astel''s talk as well as several of my coworkers. The developers at my workplace are experienced Agile developers. What would be some good things to focus on for this brown bag? Are there slides to presentations that would be

It seems to me that the RSpec bundle''s ''it'' snippet is in need of some love. By default, a newly inserted spec passes. This seems odd as it is misleading. It also makes it harder find what specs still need to be completed if you return to an RSpec module after a break. I propose that the ''it'' snippet is changed to the following: it

Hi all, Does anyone know how to get radrails to use RSpec specs instead of tests?

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|

I''ve the same problem as Alastair when running rspec command : http://lists.macromates.com/pipermail/textmate/2007-October/022585.html ../spec/mate/runner.rb:34:in `run'': undefined method `parse'' for Spec::Runner::OptionParser:Class I fixed this for me by changing the offending line to : ::Spec::Runner::CommandLine.run(argv, STDERR, stdout) (see

Hi, I''m trying the specs for restful_authentication I found here http://jonathan.tron.name/articles/2007/01/02/rspec-on-rails-restful- authentication It seems to use custom .should methods: should_eql, should_be_an_instance_of, should_redirect_to, should_be_success, should_not_be_nil, should_be_nil, should_not_be_nil, should_be_empty, should_be_success, should_not_change, and

Hi I hope this is not OT. I''m training my replacement at work to do BDD Rails development. He''s done a CS/maths degree but has no professional programming experience, so he''s never NOT done a project without BDD. In a way I am jealous of his unspoilt situation :) I''ve gone about things this way: * first teach him some Ruby (he did mainly Java at

Hey does anyone know of a good open source Rails project that uses RSpec? I''d like to check out some real world code that''s drinking the RSpec BDD koolaid.

Hello everybody, I''ve been using RSpec as a tool to create web applications for some time now, in Rails, and using plain Ruby with WEBrick as well. The tool suits my needs and the story runner is great. Now there are things that aren''t solvable on the web, you''ll need a _real_ desktop application for those problems. So I''ve toyed a bit around with various GUI

Hi there, I can''t upgrade rspec on rails to 0.7.5.1. I followed the install guide on the website without sucsess. Here''s my env info: $ rails -v Rails 1.2.2 $ gem -v 0.9.2 $ spec -v RSpec-0.7.5.1 (r1395) - BDD for Ruby http://rspec.rubyforge.org/ $ spec ... <snip> ############################################################################ Your RSpec on Rails plugin

I''ve been working on a Rails project with one other developer; he was using Test::Unit, and I was using RSpec. That works OK for a while, but obviously it starts causing pain when you have to check in two places to see if a piece of code is properly tested/spec''d, you can''t use TextMate shortcuts to switch back and forth between code and test, you have to duplicate

Hi! Can anybody link to some ror based project what is using rspec, so nuby as me can learn from it. So it should have updated and practising advanced rspec. After reading last threat about "testing behaviour or testing code?", I just realised that I would definitely learn something from app like that. Some casual googling didn''t help me this time. Thanks! Priit at

Link was 404 :-( the correct link is http://21croissants.blogspot.com/2007/06/rspec-changes-log-rss.html I should definitely switch from blogger to mephisto ... Hi, As I am not a big fan of mailing list, I have created a Yahoo!Pipes to generate a RSS from the user & developpers mailing list and integrated it into a netvibes tab. I have also put a few blogs from the rspec authors. More

I''m curious, Christian Neukirchen has released test/unit[1] that seems to mirror much of RSpec, but built on Test::Unit, so in some ways less brittle from a Rails-integration perspective, and also allowing you to mix the two together as appropriate. So, has anyone made an informed comparison? I''m new enough that I don''t really know the finer points yet. The syntax is

I admit it, when it comes to rSpec, I''m lazy. I''ve made a few feeble attempts to use it, but for once I''m waiting for a book-length treatment. At least two books were announced, I think. Can anyone in the know please report on their progress? Thanks Michael -- Michael Schuerig mailto:michael at schuerig.de http://www.schuerig.de/michael/

I''m learning to use rspec and I want to see some good examples. Any recommendations of open source projects that demonstrate the use of rspec? So far I''ve found: 1) the Caboose sample app (http://sample.caboo.se/) 2) the Altered Beast forums app (http://beast.caboo.se/forums/1/topics/4650 ) Any others come to mind? I''m especially interested in seeing
