It would be good to be able to set the return value to be the same as the return value of the block. I am trying to test opening a file in a block and reading from it. It would be nice to use code like this: object.stubs(:open).with("/path/to/file", "r").yields( stub(:read => "The file contents") ).returns(from_block) Which would make open() take the return

How can I safely mock a singleton without the mocked method living on outside the scope of the test method? I''ve run into this problem with mocking methods on globals (gasp!) in the past by doing something like def mock_my_global original = $my_global $my_global.expects(:foo).returns(''bar'') yield $my_global = original end Is there something similar I

Hi all, Are there any plans for better documentation for the new StoryRunner feature? I tried to use it today (with Rails), and had a hard time getting my head around whether I was doing it "right" and exactly what things are appropriate to test at that level (this might be exacerbated by the fact that I''ve never really used integration testing that much). A full example of

We''ve been working with the ParameterMatchers (so cool!) but I don''t see a way to insure a method is called with no arguments. I imagined something like: user = mock(''User'') user.expects(:friends).with(nothing) Anyone run into this?

Hey, we''re currently using shoulda (http://dev.thoughtbot.com/ shoulda/) on a project and I saw some things that would be really nice to see in rspec, namely the should_ methods, and especially the should_be_restful method. Do these go against the rspec goals at all? Or could an ambitious programmer go to town implementing these for rspec_on_rails? Nathan Sutton fowlduck at

Hi, I have installed Rails 3 on my local machine. Let''s say I wan''t to create a new project but in version 2.3.5, can I do that?

Hi, I am following the guide here: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/contributing_to_ruby_on_rails.html I have an ubuntu 11.04 VM setup, installed rvm, and ruby (ruby 1.8.7 (2011-06-30 patchlevel 352) [x86_64-linux]). Pulled down the rails from github and created a 3.0 branch: $ git branch --track 3-0-stable origin/3-0-stable $ git checkout 3-0-stable I can run the non-db tests ok, all pass

I recently had a bug where a class variable was being initialised wrongly: @@var1 = nil, @@var2 = nil instead of: @@var1, @@var2 = nil In investigating this, I realised that in a unit test, class variables do not get "reloaded" between tests like everything else. Is there any way to make them "reload" (I would have though given the nature of tests that would be the default

Hello, Is there some Rails 3.0.6 ETA? I am asking because there are some security holes in Rails 3.0.3, which are currently available in Fedora 15. So is it right time to update Rails to 3.0.5 or is it worth of waiting for 3.0.6? Vit -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.

I have a lot of controllers with virtually identical functionality for most actions. I''ve been using shared behaviours to DRY things up a bit, but I still have to create separate behaviours for each context before I can use the shared behaviours what I have now is a generic file which contains all the behaviours and examples common to all the controllers, and that file gets loaded from

hi, i want to make a behavior shared between models, the examples need to create new instances etc. Is there a way to pass the model class to the shared behavior? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I''m trying to use it_should_behave_like, and something seems to be wonky with the syntax. When I add :shared=>true, the DSL complains that the next line is the fixture declaration: /vendor/plugins/rspec/lib/spec/dsl/behaviour_eval.rb:137:in `method_missing'': undefined method `fixtures'' for #<Spec::DSL::EvalModule:0x324a2cc> (NoMethodError) Here''s the

Is it possible to access the described class in a shared behavior? I''m trying to do something like this: describe "Siberian feline", :shared => true do described_class_instance_as :feline, :name => "fluffy", :breed => "Siberian" # or maybe before(:all) do @feline = described_class.new(:name => "fluffy", :breed =>

Hi, I want to be able to get at the described class in my shared behaviour. I''m sure an example will say it better than my words describe "my shared", :shared => true do it "should tell me what the class is its describing" do how_do_i_get_the_user_class_here end end describe User do it_should_behave_like "my shared" #... end So in my

Hi all, I think CSFR protection broke in rails 2.3.11. As in: it''s turned off now.

Two "updated" patches, according to Michel Daenzers review. See separate e-mail for details. 01/10: Replaces original 01/09 -- Same code, updated commit message. 10/10: Just for demonstration, not for application to ddx.

Hello, Has anyone already come up with a set of shared behaviours that someone could leverage when adhering to a CRUD concept, with respect to controllers? Relatedly, it would be nice if there were a way to share generalized behaviour specs. -Chris

So, now that we''re using Mongrel and not the horrid FCGI, do I really need these files in my Rails apps: dispatch.fcgi dispatch.cgi .htaccess ?? The .htaccess file has rules for rewriting that look FCGI based. For Mongrel, I do my Apache re-writing in my config file, right? is there a reason to include these files at this point? Hunter

The Pygments highlighter supports many more languages than CodeRay. Pygments is written in Python, but I''ve seen non-Python projects use it (Jekyll, Pygments). There''s also this: https://github.com/nex3/rb-pygments Any idea how much work it would be to add Pygments support to Webgen?

Pre-nv50 has all sorts of funny requirements for non-copy alu operations, and will bail out of solid fills left and right. Account for that case and fall back to the memset.
