Hi all, I''ve been playing in the trunk with putting stuff in different dirs to keep files from a reusable framework separate from the app files. Here are a few considerations regarding the view_paths setting: config.view_path is used to set both action_controller.view_paths and action_mailer.template_root. We get some buggy/unexpected behavior here because

I''m writing my own plugin and all the plugins I''ve seen use class_eval in the method that is called in the including module. For example: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToWriteAnActsAsFoxPlugin module Foo module Acts #:nodoc: module Fox #:nodoc: def self.included(base) base.extend(ClassMethods) end # declare the class level

I haven''t had a chance to work on fixing multiple controller view paths recently. My original patch attempt was: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/8582 It was rejected due to the fact that it was fixing the symptom more than the problem. However, I think it''s critical that this problem get fixed, otherwise the whole concept of view_paths is severely neutered and

I am trying to perform a test unit, using FactoryGirl include ActionDispatch::TestProcess FactoryGirl.define do factory :article do ....... photo { fixture_file_upload ''/files/test.jpg'', ''image/jpg'' } end end IN mt test_helper.rb I defined the fixture_path def fixture_path File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/fixtures/" #

Now that controllers can have multiple view paths I''ve been playing with themes over the weekend. Running into a view issues. I have a before_filter in the ApplicationController that calls prepend_view_path to add the path of my theme. I even log the view_paths in an after_filter to make sure it made it all the way through. The output looks something like:

Hi all, I had some specs that were using fixture_file_upload that were passing just fine. Then I froze edge rails to get some 2.0 functionality, then a I upgraded to trunk rspec to deal with uninitialized constant ActionView::Helpers::JavaScriptMacrosHelper After a couple other of tribulations, I have now gotten down to just a couple of not passing specs, all using the fixture_file_upload.

I just updated my Rails install to the most current Edge and my controller specs fail: 1) TypeError in ''The User Controller should be a user controller'' can''t convert nil into String Each spec fails the same way. <context string> <spec string> can''t convert nil into String Any ideas what''s up with this? Thanks, s.ross

Hi All, I just had this problem come up today and so far I''m stumped. This morning, my mongrels were all completely unresponsive. I had to kill -9 them to get them to go away. I restarted them, but the first time that they were accessed they froze again. Nothing gets printed to the logs. I tried starting a single mongrel and accessing it directly. If I hit CTRL-C before accessing

Hello, After moving into the HEAD of rspec, I am greeted with a mountain of errors, which I expected, due to my specs not being migrated. I use hpricot for a lot of my view tests, as it is extremely simple to traverse the DOM with it. I used to include HpricotSpecHelper in spec_helper.rb, like so: require ''hpricot_spec_helper'' module Spec module Rails module Runner

Hello, I have recently upgraded to the 0.8.2 release of rSpec, and I am receiving the following message with each view spec execution: WARNING: there is no transaction in progress I have upgraded the rspec_on_rails plugin as well, and both the model and controller tests are working flawlessly. Is there some simple step I missed? thanks for the input. -Chris -------------- next part

I have a controller and view that should be providing a search bar that brings up that brings up a selected record on submission. I have tried several variations, including just specifying the assets_path, but usually end up with either an error or a submission to the index action, rather than the show action. Currently, I have the following in my index.html.haml: = form_tag({:controller =>

I am currently trying to get Rspec to work with ScenarioFixtures. http://code.google.com/p/fixture-scenarios/ http://errtheblog.com/post/7708 I did a quick search and didn''t find any mention that any one else had gotten this to work yet. If i missed something, could you please drop me a line. Otherwise, expect a progress report when i get this working... Bret -------------- next part

Hi all, I just released RSpec 0.7.3. It''s got a few bug fixes and the rails plugin *should* run against both Rails 1.1.6 and 1.2.0-RC1. If you run into problems, please report bugs and feature requests in the tracker at rubyforge: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?group_id=797 Cheers, David

Hi guys, I have a publisher called UserPublisher setup in models directory of my app. The reason I have it in a model is because its then possible for me to invoke publisher methods in after_callbacks of my other models, just the way we do it for ActionMailer. My problem is that when I try to update a users profile specifying location of the view template as a paramater to "profile"

Subject pretty much says it all. When user_engine#check_system_roles is called, it discovers that Role.count is zero. However using script/console to execute the same query reveals three users. N.b., this does not happen in the actual application; only when running tests. Any help is appreciated. Thx -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi experts, I picked up a copy of the rspec book and wrote some tests in spec/lib and spec/models for my Rails 2.3.8 code. I was using rspec 2.5.1, rspec-core 2.5.0, rspec-expectations 2.5.0 et. al. But I realised that the rspec-rails version I am using is meant for Rails3. Which version of rspec-rails should I use for Rails 2.3.8? Best, Radhesh -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have an app that varies its content based upon the domain from which it is being accessed. Some of the domain characteristics are supported in the model but it is easier varying static text in the views and then sharing the form templates via partials etc. Rails 2.3.10 and looking at the documentation at

I have a bunch of fixtures designed to populate the database for my Cucumber integration tests. But at this stage I want my database to be empty when using Rspec. So, I moved the fixtures from `/spec/fixtures` to `features/support/fixtures`, and updated `features/support/env.rb` to read: Fixtures.reset_cache fixtures_folder = File.join(RAILS_ROOT, ''features'',

I''m trying to write a story for a Rails app which involves using the attachment_fu plugin to upload images. After blunting my pick on this for a while, google found me this: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/134743#600831 So it seems that there''s a hole in Rails integration testing and multipart form posting. David offered to incorporate a patch to story runner at the end of the
