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

I am trying to write a custom formatter to update a database record based on example results. Having a lot of trouble, so I thought to ask if anyone has a custom formatter that writes results to a database or outputs results in JSON or some other programmatic format. A working example will go a long way in helping me work thru my own use case. Thanks -------------- next part -------------- An

Hi, I'm running RH9, 2.4.20-18.9. Each night, the server mounts an external FAT32 disk using firewire, and performs backups to it using rsync. Twice within the past 3 months, the backup process has resulted in machine crash (complete hang, hardware reboot needed).

Hi lhere, i'm trying the detect-renamed patch in 2.6.7pre2 in a really small scenario. Having two dirs with some files rsyncing to destination.

Hi, I have been trying to set up a network bridge on my FreeBSD 3.4 machine (hades), and as soon as I enable the bridge, Samba stops servicing requests from both sides of the network.

If I try: @article.article_groups.delete_if {|x| x.group_id == x.group_id } It does nothing. If I try: articletmp.article_groups.each{ |x| @article.article_groups.delete(y) } It deletes some of the groups. @article.article_groups.clear works. Why dosn''t the to first examples work as expected?? Do I have to put groups I don''t want to

Hi, I''ve tried to find anything about using ''should'' within a Thread, but it is a little hard do look up there, so I hope you forgive-me if I am asking an "old question". I guess this spec should fail: describe Thread do it "must be fine" do Thread.new { true.should_not be_true } # Why don''t fail?! end end It seems that some

Hi all, I have an array of shipping_type''s being returned, and I want to see what is in there. In the past I have done: shipping_type.include?(Cart::SHIPPING_TYPE_REGULAR).should be_true This works, but looks really ugly.. It just doesn''t roll of the tongue very well. I then looked up the use of Predicates, which I had been using, but hadn''t realized:

I''ve just upgraded to Rails 3.2.1 and I can''t get my specs checking whether or not around_save work anymore. I simply did something like: object.should_receive :around_filter_name object.save.should be_true (Actually, it was slightly more complex, it''s part of a state machine)

Hi, My helper specs were going ok until I added a call to a rails DateHelper method in one of my helpers http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/ DateHelper.html#M000574 The helper runs fine from my view templates, just dies in the spec test. I boiled my question down to a simple (not too useful) example. I''m not sure what I''m missing. #

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
