similar to: rspec "assigns" and "render"

I''m having trouble figuring out why one of my specs passes when run without --reverse and then fails with --reverse. What am I missing? I''m using the plugin versions of both rspec and rspec_on_rails 0.9.2. Here is the offending spec (Bill is an ActiveRecord model in a Rails app): ---------- describe Bill, " when valid" do def valid_bill_attributes { :uuid =>

Hi All So I am a first-time caller ;-) ... and have been trying to apply RSpec to the depot example in Dave Thomas'' book as I build the application. I am having a problem testing the admin controller create method and cannot quite see where I am going wrong so was hoping for a pointer :-) My spec looks like: describe AdminController do before(:each) do @product =

Hi, I''m a rspec newbie. I''m having trouble with rspec''ing a simple controller to Create a record. I''ve tried a couple of approaches and still get errors: Mock ''remedy'' expected :save! with (any args) once, but received it 0 times -or- Mock ''Remedy'' received unexpected message :save with (no args). Here are my two

I''m in the process of migrating from Rails 2 with rspec 1 to Rails 3 with rspec 2, the process has been going pretty well, however, today I came across an issue that I wanted to share. I have a controller that sends out an email through a mailer. Rails 2 code: CurriculumCommentMailer.deliver_comment_update(@curriculum_comment, "created") Rails 3 code:

Hi all, I am mocking the following Rails view (inside a partial): <%= render :partial => "forums/forum", :collection => forum_category.forums.readable_by(current_user? ? current_user : nil) %> My spec fails with the following message: 1) ActionView::TemplateError in ''forum_categories/index (anonymous user) should only render forums accessible to anonymous

describe MessagesController, "POST create" do before(:each) do @message = mock_model(Message, :save => nil) Message.stub(:new).and_return(@message) end context "when the message fails to save" do before(:each) do @message.stub(:save).and_return(false) end it "assigns @message" do post :create assigns[:message].should

I would like to have some valid mock models readily available in the helper module, but when I try to access the helper I get the error saying that the method is not found. ======= describe MembersHelper do # Helper methods can be called directly in the examples (it blocks) def valid_member_mock member = mock_model(Member) member.stub!(:first_name).and_return("Joe")

Hi All I''m having some problems running my view specs when using simply_helpful. I have it semi-working via the following: module SimplyHelpfulHelper def self.included(base) base.send :include, SimplyHelpful::RecordIdentificationHelper base.send :include, SimplyHelpful::RecordTagHelper end end context "The index template" do setup do @shift =

Hey folks, How do I mock a model that is given to me by a Rails plugin? I''m trying to mock Session from the restful_authentication plugin but I get a number of errors telling me RSpec doesn''t recognize Session. NameError in ''SessionsController handling GET /sessions/new should be successful'' uninitialized constant Session An example of my usage:

I''ve got rspec and zentest installed as well as the rspec rails plugin, and my model/controller specs all pass and work well. I can''t seem to get views to work though - 100% of the specs fail with: NoMethodError in ''/users/show.rhtml should render attributes in <p>'' protected method `render'' called for

Hey guys. I''ve just found some odd behaviour within RSpec 1.1.12 , and would like to know whether this is a bug, or I''m doing something wrong. When I give multiple return values to a stub, like this: SubtitleFile.stub!(:new).and_return @sf1, @sf2 RSpec complains: Mock ''SubtitleFile_1001'' received unexpected message :size with (no args) However, if I

I''m having a terrible time trying to test a nested route with rSpec. I can''t seem to tell rSpec to expect the call @item.user. The following error message plagues me not matter how I try to fuss with the mock: Spec::Mocks::MockExpectationError in ''ItemsController handling POST / items should redirect to the new course on successful save'' Mock

I''m wondering what''s the difference between stub and message expectation with any_number_of_times, for example: myMock = mock("mymock") myMock.stub!(:is_a?).with(MyClass).and_return(false) and myMock = mock("mymock") myMock.should_receive(:is_a?).with(MyClass).any_number_of_times.and_return(false) because is_a? may not be called at all, it just like a

Hello generous coders, I''m having difficulty getting a couple of tests to pass. I have an address model which takes an address and with a callback on save and update passes the address to google''s geocoding service. The returned XML is parsed and saved to the address object: protected def geocode_address key = "mykey" url =

Hello, I''m working with scaffold generated controller test code for handling GET requests. Address is the model being tested. Address belongs_to Company, Company has_many addresses. In my addresses_controller I have: before_filter :get_company def index @addresses = @company.addresses.find(:all) respond_to do |format| format.html # index.html.erb format.xml {

The ability to choose a mocking framework is great as I prefer mocha, but I am have problems. On my controller specs, I am forced to ''integrate_views'' as the following code below shows you, the mocking of views is rspec specific. See stub! versus mocha''s stub unless block_given? unless integrate_views?

How do you go about implementing and rspecing subdomains as account keys? I''m sure that this must be an issues for others as well. So I have an app using subdomains as account keys. The Application Controller sets up @current_company in a before filter. Everything is done within the context of the @current_company. After reading about Demeter''s Revenge

I just opened a Rails ticket on a problem with named_scope in Rails 2.1, and cross-posted a message here which I send to rails-core. I''m still a bit mystified, because I''m having a problem caused by this on RSpec 1.1.4, but not on 1.1.3, and I don''t see a difference in code which would explain it. The basic problem, which I encountered upgrading our rails app to RSpec

I''ve just started doing TDD/BDD and like the idea of mocks. So I set out to use them. The doc pages seem great, I setup the mock and then it just works. Here is what I am trying to do: Myuser is a non-rails model of user attributes. We are going to be mocking the connection to the ldap server. The user class has a login method that connects to the ldap server and if successful,
