Hi all, In GOOS[1] they use an assertion called assertEventually which samples the system for a success state until a certain timeout has elapsed. This allows you to synchronise the tests with asynchronous code. Do we have an equivalent of that in the Ruby / RSpec world already? I know capybara has wait_until { } but that''s fairly rudimentary - the failure message isn''t very

However, I do not want this to apply toa ll tests. Thanks in advance.

Hello, Is there any way to test model inheritance in spec? something like.. it { ChildModel.should < ParentModel } thanks.

Hi, I''d like to activate FakeFS for some scenarios, which I tag @fakefs, however it seems Before(''@fakefs'') runs before the background of the feature - unfortunately this clobbers Grit, and I can''t Grit::Repo.new(...) in the backbround. Is it currently possible to get a hook to run before a scenario, but not the Background of the feature? Or am I mistaken in

I''m attempting to deploy puppet via an NFS share. It''s on a local-only network, and it will contain only ruby (gems) and whatever is needed.

Hi all, I''ve got a slight problem with using Ferret in unit tests. In order to create as little cross-contamination between test suites as possible, some of my tests are creating a fresh index per test case, and then calling Index#close and deleting the containing dir during the teardown. The problem comes when GC.start kicks in after the deleting the directory: IOError: IO Error

It seems that attachment_fu is a pretty popular plugin (it''s great), but I''ve been having a terrible time trying to figure out an issue when using "update_attributes".

Folks: Is there a limit to the number of arguments that can be passed to fileutils programs such as mv or rm ? If yes, is it filesystem dependant/kernel config dependant/fileutils version dependant? Can this maximum limit be tuned/controlled ? I googled on it a bit, but couldn't find anything much more relevant than a message in the OS-X forum.
