similar to: expect_render(...).and_return(''x'')

Trunksters, I just added a couple of methods to ActionView::Base in Spec::Rails (as of r2136) that lets you do this in view examples: describe ''/things/index.html.erb'' do it "should render _thing with a collection of things" do assigns[:things] = things = [Object.new] template.expect_render(:partial => ''thing'', :collection => things)

There is a warning on the web site about expect_render and stub_render: "WARNING: expect_render and stub_render, while very useful, act differently from standard Message Expectations (a.k.a. mock expectations), which would never pass calls through to the real object. This can be very confusing when there are failures if you''re not aware of this fact, because some calls will be

Hi, A controller has a method with the following def update ... if @config.update_attributes( params[:new_config] ) redirect_to :action => :index else * render :action => :edit, :id => params[:id] # this line here* end ... end The example has the following it ''should render the "edit" config url on an unsuccessful save''

Hi: I am a rspec beginner. I have scratched my head for the whole afternoon, trying to figure out a way of writing render expectation in controller spec. However, I failed. It kept telling me that the ''expect_render'' was an undefined method. I have installed rspec 1.0.8 and rspec_on_rails as well. Below is the controller to be tested. Controller def index pre

I found this: controller.expect_render(:partial => ''thing'', :collection => things).once but I am trying to expect_render twice in my view spec: template.expect_render(:partial => ''order_details'').twice This doesn''t work as the template.expect_render call seems to be returning an array. Is it possible to expect the rendering of a partial

Hi there, I''ve been working with RSpec for about a week now, and the process of moving from a Test::Unit + Mocha setup to an RSpec + Mocha environment has been pretty straightforward. Except, I''m having problems with using template.expect_render. I have Mocha enabled with: > config.mock_with :mocha in spec_helper. And then I have a view spec which looks like this:

A colleague just came in and asked me about a problem he was having with stub_render, which reminded me of another issue he had a week or so ago, which seems related. Let me start with the earlier issue. He was trying to write specs for a method which sends the same message possibly multiple times, but with different arguments under different calling conditions. He wanted to write

My spec; describe ''subnav rendering while logged in'' do before do template.stub!(:logged_in?).and_return(true) template.stub! (:current_profile).at_least(:once).and_return(mock_profile) end def do_render render "/homepages/show.html.erb" end it "should render the logged in partial for homepages" do

Do I need to spec an AR. If yes, what is the best way to spec this. here is the code - def index @deals = Deal.paginate(:all, :conditions => prepare_search_conditions, :order => ''created_at DESC'', :page => params[:page] ) if request.xhr? render :update do |page| page.replace_html "table", :partial =>

I''m currently working on some RSpec view tests and I''m having problems with expect_render. Most of the expect_render''s work fine, but in one of my views I have: <%= render :partial => "user_cloud", :locals => {:user => @featured_user} %> I see that expect_render supports ":object" or ":collection" for the second

Hi I''ve come back to a Rails project after about a month doing other work, and there''s a lot of changes. I was on the 0.7 branch before and I''ve upgraded to RSpec 1.0.5. I used the spec translator, fixed the cases where it barfed on unusual line contents, and all my model and controller specs now pass. But I''m getting 53 failures on my view specs,

i''m having problem with a form_for situation where i''m trying to DRY out the repeated parts of my forms and put them in common/form and render the form elements via another partial in controller_name/_form. Here''s the first form # app/views/common/form <% form_for ... do |f| -%> <%= render :partial => "params[:controller]/form", :object => f

If you missed it, I''ve written a plugin for testing RJS that uses (basically) the same syntax as the RJS templates themselves. Here''s a taste: assert_rjs :alert, ''Hi!'' assert_rjs :assign, ''a'', ''2'' assert_rjs :call, ''foo'', ''bar'', ''baz'' assert_rjs :draggable,

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

Hi folks. I''m trying to work out how to verify that a controller has called a render:update block similar to: render :update do |page| page.replace_html ''edit'', :partial => ''form'', :locals => { :operation => ''edit'', :submit_button_value => ''Update'' } end We used to test this with something

hi, I have a template that conditionally renders a partial. Is there a way to test that a partial is NOT rendered? :)

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

Hello List. I''m trying to overwrite part of ExceptionNotifiable (ExceptionNotification plugin) to render customized error 500 pages based on browser agents. For this, I''ve created a fake controller that inherits directly from ActionController::Base: class FooExceptionController < ActionController::Base include ExceptionNotifiable # this action should not fail, used for

I''m trying to specify that an action should be rendered with a given layout one particular spec. What I''ve got at the moment is this. it "should render with the grabber layout" do controller.should_receive( :render ).with( :layout => "my_layout" ) do_get end This doesnt work even though this call to render is being executed. render :layout
