Hi folks. So I''m using mocha on a ruby project, and I really like it. One thing I''ve noticed is that it can be a bit "surprising" when I''m mocking methods that don''t exist on an object, and I think there''s an easyish fix. At the moment, you use sheep = mock() to create a mock sheep. What I''d like to do is something like sheep =

I really like the idea of Mock Proxies as explained in Brian Takita''s post here: http://pivots.pivotallabs.com/users/brian/blog/articles/352-introducing-rr I posted to this list eariler with an incomplete implementation of .stops_mocking in the thread "Mocking Time, delegating to original object." The Mock Proxy pattern would make this simpler.

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

Hello, Is there a way to set the html element id for the form_tag and form_remote_tag on the server side? I want to have this resultant html... <form id=''something'' ... ... </form> Thank you, Brian Takita

How would I go about writing specs for a lib, particularly one with all protected and private methods. I''m trying to spec the AuthenticatedSystem library from the rails restful_authentication plugin: http://pastie.caboo.se/103625 Also, when you''re mocking objects, a side-effect is helping you define the api of the object. Is there a way to get all the behaviors that

Hey all - The trunk currently supports three types of mocking/stubbing: Mock Objects (created dynamically at runtime) Partial Mocking of methods on existing classes Stubbing of methods on existing objects or classes The main difference between Partial Mocking and Stubbing is that Stubs don''t verify. I''m wondering if we really need the stubbing facility at all, given that we

Hello, I wrote a script that runs a focused spec/test from the filename and line number. I bound this to an external tool in my Idea environment. http://weblog.freeopinion.org/articles/2006/11/04/focused-unit-test-spec-script Brian -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I''m getting into RSpec more after getting the awesome Peepcode screencast about it. So far I love it, but coming form Test::Unit with Rails, I have some concerns about the recommendation to mock models and database calls in controller and view specs. Lets say you have a method on your User model called User.find_activated, and you have models specs for it. Then in your controller specs

Hello, I deployed a Rails App using Switchtower and now I''m getting a Routing Error to my Javascript and Stylesheet files. Has anybody else had this issue?

Hello, I submitted a patch <http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/3287> ( http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/3287) a couple of days ago. The patch adds some methods into and changes the existing methods in the CaptureHelper module. It should not, as I can see, affect any existing Rails implementations. I added the relevant unit tests and all but one of the tests pass. The test that fails failed

Hello, While reading Dan North''s BDD tutorial <http://dannorth.net/introducing-bdd>, I tried to implement his ATM example as spec stubs. When I first implemented it creating a context for each of his scenarios, I noticed that there is duplication and a combinatorial explosion of the specs. I attached the full files to this email. For brevity, I will use scenario 1 in the body of

I have some specs that ''require'' other files. When running spec_server, if these required files are changed, it''s not picked up when the specs are run. I have to restart spec_server to get the changes recognized. Is there an option or some such to have spec_server reload required files as well when a spec is run? Thanks, Steve

Does anyone else have issues running rspec textmate bundle? I''ve got revision 2997, but the blasted thing just won''t run. It is checked out to my /Users/zdennis/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/RSpec.tmbundle When it runs I get the below error... "textmate" is not a valid class name

Hi all, I would need to put datas downloaded with quantmod into a matrix or a data frame. Suppose to start from here: *require(quantmod) ticker.list <- c('AAA', 'ALTSALES', 'AMBNS', 'AMBSL', 'BAA', 'EMRATIO', 'FEDFUNDS', 'GASPRICE', 'GS1', 'GS10', 'GS20', 'LNS14100000', 'MORTG',

Seems like the recently updated (and wonderful) textmate bundle does not take into account running individual tests that are in nested specs. Anybody else notice this? Any ideas?

I like Shoulda. Sometimes I like plain old Test::Unit. Cucumber gives me a different thought process. I''d just like to hear some thoughts on why RSpec? What does it buy me that I can''t get with Shoulda? I just can''t seem to think in RSpec. Where is there a good example of RSpec tests that will help me grasp the right path? Thanks! -- Amos King

Hello, on the application that I''m working on, we are using Thin. The server implements long polling and commands that alter its internal state. Connecting to the long poll is a very fast operation, while updating the state of the server is a relatively slow operation. The long poll connection is held open until there is a change to be sent to the connection. Here is my current

A couple days ago I submitted a patch, that was committed by Ezra, to the MrBlog project for the Rspec on Merb plugin. So far, it only works with ActiveRecord including fixtures. Has any played with it? If so, did you get it to work? I''m going to be submitting a patch for Controller specs soon. It will be very bare bones, given my current lack of understanding of Merb controller

I''d like to start gathering information/debating on the advantages/disadvantages of using it "should ..." vs other techniques. Dan North explained why we should use should: http://dannorth.net/introducing-bdd/ I used to use it "should ..." for the projects I was on, until I was challenged by a fellow developer who started using it with an active voice.
