similar to: RSpec Post/Get and Sessions in a Story

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

hello there, i have been trying my hand at this rbehave material, specifically in terms of integration testing a rails application, and i am curious about the most friendly way to deal with session data. currently, the only way i have found to simulate a session is to open a session and refer to everything afterward via the @session variable stored after open_session. it seems to be workable,

Hi all, Are there any plans for better documentation for the new StoryRunner feature? I tried to use it today (with Rails), and had a hard time getting my head around whether I was doing it "right" and exactly what things are appropriate to test at that level (this might be exacerbated by the fact that I''ve never really used integration testing that much). A full example of

This is related to Selenium/Watir usage along side webrat in story testing. MHS_Testing and Rspec-ui provide some great help for testing through frameworks like Selenium/Watir. But there is something missing, Webrat has changed the landscape somewhat with Acceptance Tests/Story Driven development. Now I have a choice: 1. Tests and rails process run as one test process (Webrat) 2. Use

Very simple, but not googlable: how do I access ''session'' in my story? In rspec controller specs I could just say session[:user] for example, but this doesn''t work here. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi, How can I have a common set of steps that all my stories share? i.e. My stories often start out looking like this: Given a user Joe Given a user Jordan then: Given("a user $username") do |username| @users ||= {} @user_sessions ||= {} @users[username] = create_user(:username => username) @user_sessions[username] = login_as(@users[username]) end I want to share that

I have played a bit with RSpec specs and now want to check out stories. I note that there is no generator for rspec stories pre se (unless I managed to miss all references to one ) and that the only directory relating to stories added by installing rspec is ./stories itself. The documentation at rspec.info seems to presume a great deal of prior knowledge. What I am looking for is a guided tour

Has anyone noticed any problems with the Rails story runner returning a response code of "0" when doing get/post/etc methods? I just grabbed the latest rails/rspec and just started noticing this problem, http://pastie.caboo.se/117497 Regular controller specs pass as expected. -- Josh Knowles phone: 509-979-1593 email: joshknowles at gmail.com web: http://joshknowles.com

Hi all! Just wrote a few stories and committed code to a project of mine, then realized I made a mistake (with the commit, not the code or tests). It would be nice to put the script that runs the stories as a pre-commit hook, preventing the commit from succeeding if the stories fail. For that, I need to set the right exit code. In turn, I need to know he result of the tests. Given the

Hello. I just started to use rspec stories. I followed the following tutorial: http://www.tomtenthij.co.uk/2008/1/25/rspec-plain-text-story-runner-on-a-fresh-rails-app So I implemented my story and some of the steps are: (...) When "user creates a product" do post "products/new", :name => @name end Then "there should be a product named

VERSION: rspec rails plugin current edge version XP/Cygwin on XP Hi, I hit this when trying to use parenthesis in my stories ... (that''ll teach me!). If a scenario looks like the following: Story "User has story with parentheses", %{ As a user I want parenthesis So that ... well I just do }, :type => RailsStory do Scenario "the Given has parentheses" do

I''ve written a story and I run into a snag. I''ve written the create_forum method and told it to set the id to 1 but when it creates the forum the id is autoincremented. My forums table is empty but the id keeps incrementing the newest record on creation. When I run the story it comes out as something like 59 which fails my story because I''m asking it to look at /forums/1

I find myself doing this: Scenario "logged in user visiting the home page" do Given "A logged in user" do a_logged_in_user end When "..." Then "..." end The a_logged_in_user method is a helper method in helper.rb which sets up the state so that the user can browse the website. Later in the story of course, I can just do ''Given

hi, I just started fooling around with story runner, thought I''d start with a dead simple scenario: The first thing I do when describing a site to someone is go to the home page, and begin exploring public pages from there. So, that seems like a good first story to spec out. And I''d really like to extract the actual link from the rendered page (rather than just

Hey guys, just poppin in to ask if anyone knows when stories will be somewhat stable? We''re starting to use integration tests at work, we''re already using rspec, and I''d like to avoid integration tests if possible. Thanks, Nate "fowlduck" Sutton

With a rails application I''m trying to access the public/ folder from within a rspec story. I have a controller which redirects to: /public/static_html_page.html I have a story written using webat. This story uses the above controller and it expects the redirection. This story always fails as within the story it cannot follow the redirection (Always gives a 500 error). It does not

I''ve been slamming my head against a wall for a while now, and would like some help. I believe this is session related. I have a story that looks like: -------------------------------------------------- Given that a post exists And I am logged in When I visit the post details page Then there should be a link to add a new comment

I generated a new rails app then installed rspec and rspec_on_rails from trunk. I then created a sample story: require File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/helper" Story "View Home Page", %{ As a user I want to view my home page So that I can get a birds eye view of the system }, :type => RailsStory do Scenario "Publisher with no videos" do When

Hi, Does the Story Runner work on edge rails? I thought that is what the example app was using but I am on the latest Rails and latest rSpec revisions and I am having problems. When I call ''render_template'' in a story I get the following: NoMethodError: undefined method `render_template'' for #<ActionController::Integration::Session:0x327d974> Do I need to

HI, After I upgraded to RSpec 1.1.4 (from git), my stories all failed. I was using Webrat and the first thing I noticed was the ''visits'' method was gone. I then backtracked to just using ''get'' and got the same undefined method exception. I confirmed it was still working in 1.1.3 Eventually, I got it to work doing this: in my first Given: @app =
