Railsters: Despite Rails being the only Web platform designed for TDD, a lot of its test infrastructure is still "cargo cult" - imitating other test rigs instead of understanding their principles. Most importantly, tests should run instantly. There''s no excuse for breaking this rule, and if you invent a platform that can''t obey it then you are doing something

Guys I''ve been struggling with this one for a couple of hours, and nothing seems to work here, any advice would be duly appreciated... Background: I''m busy working on a plugin called "shared_models", allowing you to easily share models between different applications, running different database or on the same database. The plugin is nearly complete, offering a

I''m getting two strange errors, both which I believe relate to sqlite3. The first one is with validates associated. Here is my test: require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../test_helper'' class SubscriptionPlanTest < Test::Unit::TestCase fixtures :subscription_plans fixtures :publications def setup @six_month_gold = subscription_plans(:six_month_gold)

With a normal test_helper, everything works just fine. However, if I change test_helper.rb to include test/rails and the class from Test::Unit::TestCase to Test::Rails::TestCase, I get this: ./test/functional/../test_helper.rb:19: undefined method `use_transactional_fixtures='' for Test::Rails::TestCase:Class (NoMethodError) from ./test/functional/contact_controller_test.rb:1

The ssl_requirement plugin indicates that I can override the ssl_required? method. I want to use this facility to ignore the ssl requirement declarations when RAILS_ENV is anything other than ''production''. My question is, where do I override this? The relevant readme is: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/plugins/ssl_requirement/README Also, does this plugin work with a

I''ve got an interesting (possibly) problem right now between autotest and rails integration tests. There are a few things to preface this with. Works fine: rake test rake test:integration Blows up: autotest Autotest is correctly determining rails and runs tests just fine. One part of the behavior is that if I save a change in just the integration test (even hitting cmd+s to trigger a

I am getting this horribly ugly output from autotest when a test fails. Normal output from ''rake test'': -- 1) Failure: test_export_format(TaskTest) [./test/unit/task_test.rb:61]: <"Michael Alvarez"> expected but was <nil>. -- Same failure, as seen via autotest: -- 1) Failure: test_export_format(TaskTest) [./test/unit/task_test.rb:61]: ---

Hello, I''ve been trying to google the definitive way to combine autotest, rspec, and spec-server, but to no avail. It seems like there are lots of suggestions from old versions. Furthermore, some commands such as rake:autotest don''t seem to be around anymore. So, is it required to install ZenTest as a gem? I have version 3.9.1. I believe this gets me the autotest

Hello, a very strange thing is happening : the test below pass but it should fail I had a syntax error which produced an exception in the browser and http 500 in the script/console (using app.get ''/'') But with rake test:functionals it passes - How is it possible ? Of course this file is really executed by the test suite, I can see it in the screen output of rake Which

I recently had trouble installing the ssl_requirement plugin. script/plugin said it couldn''t find ssl_requirement. I "solved" this by running "script/plugin discover" and accepting the addition of a bunch of other repositories. The script could then discover and install ssl_requirement. BUT: It wasn''t the same version of ssl_requirement that I''d

Guys, I''ve created a plugin, i wanna put my automated test there. However, I got bad file descriptor error when i run the test like normal unit test file: "ruby plugins/acts_as_fox/test/acts_as_fox_test.rb" How to test a plugin? Also, is it right to say that I should only put my unit tests (but not functional test for example) for the plugin in the plugin test folder?

I upgraded a working app from rails 2.1 to 2.3.2. Now when I run rake test:units I get this error: /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ activesupport-2.3.2/lib/active_support/test_case.rb:17: superclass mismatch for class TestCase (TypeError) I generated a new test app and all tests run OK. For the upgrade I ran rake:update and renamed the class in test_helper to ActiveSupport::TestCase. Also renamed

How can I spec out a rake task? How can I use rake in my spec''s? I want to fix this rake spec:autotest bug with --drb and --color. How can I get rake output? How would I get out of autotest? My initial thought is just to run the command in the spec. Scott

I recently upgraded to Rails 1.0 and started a new project. I''ve started writing some tests, but when I run rake, I just get the following... Amnesia:~/Development/Rails/pog shad$ rake (in /Users/shad/Development/Rails/pog) /usr/bin/ruby -Ilib:test "/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.6.2/lib/rake/rake_test_loader.rb" "test/unit/pog_test.rb"

People, I''m getting an error from Rake I''d like to debug.

Because the require ''test_helper'' at the top of all the tests is relative now (it used to be something like require ''../test_helper''), you can''t just run the file with ruby anymore. And running the file with ruby is exactly what command + r does. Which means you can''t easily run your tests from textmate. The solution:

Hi Guys, I can start my server in development mode. However, when I run rake test.

Hi, I just updated to the latest RSpec 1.1.3 + ZenTest 3.9.1. I also have rspec 1.1.3 installed as a gem When starting autotest with -v option, there is a lot of noise because autotest does not ignore the vendor folder, the migrations, etc ...: Dunno! vendor/plugins/acts_as_solr/solr/lib/jetty-util-6.1.3.jar Dunno!
