similar to: render :action apparently invalid

Along the same lines as the default javascript library discussion [1], why don''t we switch the default test library to RSpec? The stats [2] posted by Xaviar in the other thread seem to support that RSpec is the preferred way to test. [1] http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-core/browse_thread/thread/e9b9cf2233d9a59b [2] http://survey.hamptoncatlin.com/survey/stats -- You received

I''m trying to test that "static" pages (they''re ERB, but get cached), generated through rails, don''t render any stray flash notices left over by the authentication system (Devise) or wherever else. I''ve tried writing this controller spec, but it appears that response.body only renders the template, not its layouts? describe "so that static

I''m banging my head over this really strange error in a view test when I run "rake spec". The weird thing is that I don''t get the error when I run the spec file by itself. Here is the spec (I know, fixtures are the devil): describe "/units/new.html.erb here" do fixtures :units, :accounts, :groups it_should_behave_like

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

Hello, I''m playing around with Rspec again after going from test/unit to rspec then back to test/unit... :) Right off the bat, I find myself wanting to do something like this: https://gist.github.com/1128091 Basically, I want to name a context, then call it later by name, passing a block to it. Or in other words... what is the best way to DRY this code?

In a method named logo in my application helper, I reference an application controller method (current_account) that has been marked as a helper method with the following syntax: helper_method :current_account When I test out the setup in the browser (without rspec), rails is happy with this setup. However, when I run the spec, the spec won''t pass and gives me the following error:

Hey guys! I am using rspec trunk, and I am having a little problem with the latest version. (I am quite sure this worked with an older version about a week ago) heres the spec: it "should render the new user form without layout for a xhr request" do @controller.should_receive(:render).with(:layout=>false) xhr :get,:new end and the controller: def new render

Forgive me if this isn''t the proper list. It''s specific to the rSpec Rails plugin. The problem is, some controller actions are rendering the "diagnostics.rhtml" template when I''m expecting it to render something else in a controller spec. I''m assuming this is the template that displays the error message and a stack trace when an error is raised in the

Hi all, I''m trying to create some view specs using rspec following the example at http://rspec.rubyforge.org/documentation/rails/writing/views.html However, when I put @person = mock("person") @person.stub!(:name).and_return ''Joe'' assign[:person] = @person I get a NameError saying that ''assigns'' is not defined. Similarly, "render

Hi all, I tried testing with Rspec for first time, following a tutorial. "rspec spec/" works fine but when I try ''autotest'' it gives me the error message below. I also made a gist about it: https://gist.github.com/779265 It seems like a redgreen or ZenTest error. I''m using Ubuntu10, Rails3, Ruby 1.9 and RVM. Any help is appriciated, thanks in advance, gezope

Hi, Is it possible to do the following in a controller spec? @controller.should_receive(:render).with(:layout => false) I''ve been trying this kind of thing and it looks like RSpec is messing with the render calls, and requires you to use render_template instead. Could we have at least a warning that mentions that parameters passed to :render expectations are going to be thrown

I''m not sure why this is happening, but if I do this in a controller unless @variation && @variation.quantity > 0 flash[:error] = "Sorry, that product is currently not available." redirect_to(:action => ''error'') and return end rspec tells me 2) ActionController::DoubleRenderError in ''The Carts controller with an

I''m trying to specify that an action should be rendered with a given layout one particular spec. What I''ve got at the moment is this. it "should render with the grabber layout" do controller.should_receive( :render ).with( :layout => "my_layout" ) do_get end This doesnt work even though this call to render is being executed. render :layout

I''m having this odd problem that I encountered, today. I want to check that when I upload a CSV file that it does import some records into a DB. Problem is that sometimes when I run RSpec it seems that it wants to read the uploaded file as a string, rather than an object that I am sending with a post request. Here''s a gist of my code: https://gist.github.com/1187861 With Rails

Hello again, First of all, thanks much for everyone''s input on my question last week about spec''ing an invocation of super. Here''s another question that seems resistant to my Google searching: With this helper method (defined in a module and included in Rails controllers): def render_rjs_redirect(url = ''/'') render :update do |page| page

Hi folks. I''m trying to work out how to verify that a controller has called a render:update block similar to: render :update do |page| page.replace_html ''edit'', :partial => ''form'', :locals => { :operation => ''edit'', :submit_button_value => ''Update'' } end We used to test this with something

A controller I''m trying to test simply delivers a text string to the client, which then demarshalls it to retrieve some objects. I want to test that the returned string is correct. I don''t want to compare the string character-by-character with response.has_text because that ties me to the implementation of the Marshall class. Instead, I just want to demarshall the string

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|

I ran across a problem today in which some code ran fine in regular operation but failed in a test case. I scratched my head and thought "why would running from within the test harness change the behavior of my code?" Clearly it was the Heisenberg uncertainty principle in action! :) I discovered the root cause was that the rspec runner is setting the magical ruby global, $KCODE, to
