similar to: deep test with rspec?

Just wanted to pick some smart people about this topic: What are you guys doing to increase the speed of your specs? I''m a big fan of autotest, but right now my current project has 438 specs (for rails). Most of them are in the model, and for all of them we are hitting the database (they are more functional specs than unit-tests). The whole suite takes 112 seconds (meaning the

So I''ve just started working on a rails project which currently has something like 7500 LOC. All of the tests are written in Test::Unit, although the test coverage is pretty poor: rcov says that 25% of the code is covered, while rake stats shows the code to test ratio as 1:0.1 (800 lines of test code). I guess I''m wondering what would generally be advisable here. Is it

Is this the appropriate place to talk about spec_distributed? If not, I''ll post the spec-ext (seemingly dead) mailing list on rubyforge... I was able to run a non-rails project with Spec::Distributed::RindaSlaveRunner (and RindaMasterRunner). But I''m stumped on how to do it with a rails project, when I have rspec trunk installed. I continue to get wrong error

Hi all, Is there any integration with testing tools such as RSpec or Test::Unit planned? I see that the cruise task is run correctly, but the tests show up underneath the build log. Ideally I''d like them to show up the same way that they do in ''java'' CruiseControl, in their own section of tests. Will.

Hey all, I was just wondering if any one has played around with getting autotest''s rspec integration working with rspec''s HTML output. I really like how in the rspec textmate bundle the context of the failing code is inlined with the failing spec along with the exact line highlighted and a link to the exact spot in reference. However, I rarely use this nice output since

Hi, I''m fairly new to Rails and v. new to RSpec. Think it looks pretty useful and so I''m trying it out for the first time. I have installed the rspec-rails gem and created a simple plain text my_story file and my_story.rb file along the lines described here - http://www.tomtenthij.co.uk/2008/1/25/rspec-plain-text-story-runner-on-a-fresh-rails-app. When I run

Hey all, Has any one ever tested or try to test c code with rspec? I am using system calls to my compiled c program and testing against the standard output but I would like to get a lot more granular than this. I have experimented with using RubyInline to test individual functions and that works on functions that are not calling other c functions. I have some other ideas on how to do this

Hey all, What is the easiest way to include rpec''s mocking framework into a story so I can use it? I want to use it to stub out a Net::HTTP method so I''m not making API calls every time I run my story. :) Thanks, Ben

I recently wrote a matcher for testing AR associations which allows you to specify things like: Foo.should have_many(:bars).through(:bazes) I''m pretty darned proud of it and a couple of people have suggested that I should submit it to the rspec_on_rails project. Before I go to the trouble of writing out rdoc and fully spec''ing it, I just wanted to make sure this was

I finally plunked down for the beta RSpec bundle and I''m working through the initial example. Although I''m a fairly experienced RSpec user, I''m stlll learning new tricks. Anyway, I''m going though the mastermind example, and everything is going well, except that I decided to also try out the Textmate bundle for Cucumber. I decided to use Ben Mabey''s

Just started looking at the Story Runner integration, and am converting a few Rails integration tests to get a feel for it. My integration tests relied on fixtures, and since my models have a significant amount of validation (and hence need valid data unless I save without validation), this has made setup easy. With stories however, I''m wondering what the recommended approach is.

Hi all, I''m just getting to grips with rspec, and I''m trying to put together a showy demo. We''re trying to use the (plain text) stories feature, rather than the specs. I''d like to show off a fancy HTML report of the results if possible. So it seems I can do this from the spec command line tool, but I can''t make it work for a story. I''ve got

Cucumberists (and RSpec Classic users ;): How can we convert a Cucumber feature file into HTML with syntax highlighting? Not the test-runner output; that''s preprocessed so it does not match the input file... Tx! -- Phlip

Im trying to write a controller spec, but when I run it I get an error like the one below. I found Bug6707 (http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/rspec-devel/2007-March/002147.html ), but I get the error no matter how I run the spec ( whether I use rake or not) Any ideas?

Hey list, Anyone have experience with acts_as_xapian and Cucumber? I''m struggling with updating xapian''s index, to actually "find" fluff that has been indexed.. In a scenario, I''m adding a bunch of articles, and in the actual search step, I run: When "I search for \"$query\"" do |query| %x[rake RAILS_ENV=test xapian:update_index]
