i am trying out minitest, but need some advice on a clean way to test validations. I setup my testing to use minitest by following the following railscast plus i added miniskirt for Factories. http://railscasts.com/episodes/327-minitest-with-rails everything works well, but there has to be a cleaner way of testing failed validations. would i be better off using something besides

Hi I''m building a small library to use in my Rails app which interacts with a 3rd party API. It fetches artists and tracks. So I have: lib/my_lib.rb lib/my_lib/artist.rb lib/my_lib/track.rb To get an artist I do artist = MyLib::Artist.find("Oasis") Which returns an instance of Artist if it finds (via 3rd party API) it or nil otherwise. Then I can call artist.tracks which

'tc_410_close_event.rb' was not being run. You could prove this by simply inserting "exit 1" into that test. The reason is unclear, but by renaming every class and method in the tests to be unique, this ensures the tests are run. --- ruby/t/tc_010_load.rb | 4 ++-- ruby/t/tc_020_create.rb | 4 ++-- ruby/t/tc_030_create_flags.rb | 4 ++--

I'm a fairly new R user and while I have a solution to my problem I'm wondering if there is a better one. In SAS it's common to use if/then logic along with a "do" statement to make several things happen. While I could do the same thing in R using a "for" loop, and "if" and {}, I've read that loops are less common in R and I wonder if I'm doing

Googling around, I found that apparently adding to the gem file will fix my problems, but where do i find the gem file? what is the name of the gem file? "group :test do # Pretty printed test output gem ''minitest'' ####### add this line ####### end" Here is what happens when i run rake test, please note that i have already installed minitest

Use better functions to check for proper values instead of assert: - refute_nil for non-null functions - assert_equal for checking equality Also, make sure that the parameters for assert_equal are correct: expected value, then got value. --- ruby/tests/tc_120_rlenvalue.rb | 4 ++-- ruby/tests/tc_130_special.rb | 12 ++++++------ ruby/tests/tc_200_write.rb | 4 ++--

When I enter rails g, I get the bunch of logs behind. Any idea what I''m missing? I though it''s trying to install minitest, so I manually installed it. Still this error persists. $ rails g gem install minitest /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-3.2.8/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:251:in `require'': no such file to load -- minitest/unit

I''ve seen a few examples of dummy Rails apps (for testing, so they live under test or spec dirs, typically) for use with the Appraisals gem that supposedly work with both Rails 3.x and Rails 4, but they seem hackish and not fully functional. It is somewhat expected, as it is a stripped down Frankenstein monster that is trying to be compatible with various versions of Rails 3 as well

Hi All: For certain key terms I always get this error; I had to rebuild the indexes then it works for a while then again it is gone. here is the message ActionView::TemplateError (undefined method `each'' for nil:NilClass) on line #4 /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.12.5/lib/action_view/base.rb:316:in `compile_and_render_template''

must be doing something dumb.... not sure, but the ''call'' appears to be on the block.call when the respond_to block gets executed. straight forward "channels" resource with a ''create'' action.... only new thing is just assigning the current_user to the model. def create @channel = Channel.new(params[:channel]) @channel.user = @user
