similar to: Radrails and RSpec

I''ve been working through the book ''Beginning Ruby on Rails E-Commerce'' which is very heavy on Test Driven Development. As in, you have to write tests for scaffolding methods and validations and crap like that. And then they fail. And you KNOW its the test not the method. So you spend 2x the time writing a test that has to be adapted when requirements change. You

I''m just starting on BDD. I installed the gems for webrats and cucumber. I also ran the following in the Ruby shell: >rake gems:install RAILS_EN=test >script/generate cucumber These commands seemed to create the expected features and lib folders in my project. I''m using the eclipse framework with Aptana and RadRails as my IDE. However, when I run: >cucumber features

Hi, Is there already a plugin for RadRails that would support RSpec ? Thx Julien -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/rspec-users/attachments/20070411/1c9aca29/attachment.html

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 all, As an experiment in playing nice with others, we''ve added the ability in rspec''s trunk to do this: class ThingExamples < Spec::ExampleGroup def should_do_stuff ... end end This is how rspec 0.1 worked, and for people already comfortable with the classes/methods approach of Test::Unit, it is a more comfortable entry point to rspec. For others, however, it

I''ve decided that I want to use more automated tests because I''ve been intrigued by the idea of BDD. I am new to using tests, so I''m curious if there have been any writeup on using rSpec. This is one of the only ones I''ve found: http://blog.teksol.info/articles/2005/11/17/building-a-plugin-on-rspec It seems that the benefit of BDD is that it makes it

<http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=10368> Came across this as a stub page browsing Amazon UK. This is good news! I''m surprised it hasn''t been discussed on the list before. Was Chad keeping it a secret? I hope it will have plenty of BDD theory. I''m still waiting for that magic book I can give to someone and say "here - read this, it

The RSpec Development Team is pleased to announce the release of RSpec-1.0.8. RSpec 1.0.6 is the "holy cow, batman, it''s been a long time since we released and there are a ton of bug fixes, patches and even new features" release. RSpec 1.0.7 and 1.0.8 deal with a regression introduced in 1.0.6 and a hiccup in releasing 1.0.7, respectively. == RSpec RSpec is a Behaviour Driven

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

Has the should_... syntax changed? I''m getting errors when running the following: should_render(:index) should_be_valid should_not_be_valid should_respond_to should_be should_render I thought the syntax changed to something like the following: obj.should render(:index) but this doesn''t seem to work. Scott

It seems to me that the RSpec bundle''s ''it'' snippet is in need of some love. By default, a newly inserted spec passes. This seems odd as it is misleading. It also makes it harder find what specs still need to be completed if you return to an RSpec module after a break. I propose that the ''it'' snippet is changed to the following: it

I''ve the same problem as Alastair when running rspec command : http://lists.macromates.com/pipermail/textmate/2007-October/022585.html ../spec/mate/runner.rb:34:in `run'': undefined method `parse'' for Spec::Runner::OptionParser:Class I fixed this for me by changing the offending line to : ::Spec::Runner::CommandLine.run(argv, STDERR, stdout) (see

Hi! I recently updated my rspec and rspec_on_rails plugins to the tip of the trunk and ran into an issue with helper methods with names starting with should_ in my describe blocks. Fictive example to show what I''m talking about: describe Order do it "Can be paid for" do ... should_have_paid(user) end def should_have_paid(user) end end I know in

Hi, I starting a new project, and have run into behavior I cannot replicate in irb, (i.e. outside of using rspec) when the directory? returns true, so I thought I''d ask here, in case any one has seen this badhavior. ruby-1.9.2-p136 rspec (2.5.0) rspec-core (2.5.1) rspec-expectations (2.5.0) rspec-mocks (2.5.0) When I try to run this spec: require Pathname(__FILE__).ascend { |d|

Hey does anyone know of a good open source Rails project that uses RSpec? I''d like to check out some real world code that''s drinking the RSpec BDD koolaid.

Hello everybody, I''ve been using RSpec as a tool to create web applications for some time now, in Rails, and using plain Ruby with WEBrick as well. The tool suits my needs and the story runner is great. Now there are things that aren''t solvable on the web, you''ll need a _real_ desktop application for those problems. So I''ve toyed a bit around with various GUI

Hi I hope this is not OT. I''m training my replacement at work to do BDD Rails development. He''s done a CS/maths degree but has no professional programming experience, so he''s never NOT done a project without BDD. In a way I am jealous of his unspoilt situation :) I''ve gone about things this way: * first teach him some Ruby (he did mainly Java at

Hi, I''m don''t want to start another post about what''s the best IDE. Am just considering getting a licence for Rubymine which is 99$ I think. But I don''t know whether it''s really better than Netbeans. My focus is on BDD with cucumber, Rspec and Shoulda. Can anyone tell me his/her experience concering test support in those two IDE''s
