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

Is there a way to preload common data made by factory_girl to speed up tests instead of recreating these common data at the beginning of every test. For example, I want to have 10 users premade at the beginning of every test. I found this http://agilewebdevelopment.com/plugins/factory_data_preloader But the page says that this plugin does not "play nice" with autotest. But I use

I am working on my first Rails BDD project with extensive tests since starting out with Rails a few years ago. Running RSpec or Cucumber is really slow. I''m using Rails 3 and RSpec 2. To run one model spec with only 5 tests takes almost 1 minute! When it finishes it says it took only 0.9 seconds to run the actual test. So obviously it is loading the environment that takes so long. I just

I have narrowed my problem in a prior topic (I''m having trouble with Routes) to the fact that I get the problem, below only when I reload my page. Clicking on links to go to the pages I want ... I seem not to have problems. Given that it seems to be a reload that is generating an "/undefined" path somewhere ... can anyone suggest what I should be looking for to fix the

Hi, I changed my environmnet.rb to say PRODUCTION mode, however when I start up a server "ruby scripts/server" a) it runs in development mode (via the logs) - any ideas why? b) why does webbrick run - I thought by default now it was supposed to be lightty Tks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Trying to set up a Rails 3 project with RSpec and Autotest. I followed these steps exactly: http://gist.github.com/365816 But when I start up autotest, I get: $ autotest loading autotest/rails style: Rails instead of: $ autotest loading autotest/rails_rspec2 style: RailsRspec2 And autotest doesn''t seem to do anything. Any idea what''s happening? I''m using Ruby

False Positives I just discovered how easy it was to create a false positive when I, trying my first RSpec test, did this: ob.should eql?(''foo'') instead of: ob.should eql(''foo'') or: ob.should == ''foo'' As far as I can see, this is roughly equivalent to: ob.should false Neither eql?(''foo'') nor false causes the spec

Hi I''m new and using Ruby on Rails 3 but when I run $ autotest nothing happens (I have growl installed). If I run $ rspec spec then I get the ''Finished in 0.07253 seconds seconds 2 example, 0 failures'' message I have the following gems installed for autotest (checked via $ gem list): autotest (4.3.2) autotest-fsevent (0.2.4, 0.2.2) autotest-growl (0.2.9, 0.2.4)

This applies to anyone using rspec''s trunk from >= 3220 with ZenTest <= 3.7.2. Anyone else, feel free to move on.... The next release of ZenTest, coming soon, includes some changes that improve the relationship between Autotest, it''s subclasses (like those in rspec) and .autotest, the file that you can use to plug into autotest''s hooks to extend/modify

Hey, I''m trying to configure autotest with rspec on cygwin but something is going wrong. I made a very simple testing environment with a user.rb and user_spec.rb file. Rspec works fine, but autotest outputs nothing - it just stays here, idle. ^C doesn''t display anything more. I can see it''s running because I added require ''autotest/snarl'' in my

My autotest runs but when I make changes to a spec it doesn''t reload. I checked another application I was building that had 1.0.9 but it was reloading fine. How would I debug a problem such as autotest not reloading? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi all, Running on OSX 10.5.3, Latest Rspec trunk, Rspec rails trunk, latest autotest gem and rails 2.1 I''ve lost my colour output in autotest. rake spec gives colour output, but autotest gives me black and white. It was working a little bit before, I think I upgraded to the latest versions of everything to get all the textmate snippets talking and being friendly to one another again

Hi, When I start the "autotest" it gives me the following error...not sure what HOME path I have to set...all Ruby/Rails related components are in path! --- C:\>autotest -rails C:/Tools/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ZenTest-3.3.0/lib/autotest.rb:285:in `expand_path'': couldn''t find HOME environment -- expanding `~/.autotest'' (ArgumentError) ---

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

Hello, I''m running AutoTest with Rspec on a Rails application. Every 20 or so runs I get "stack level too deep" on one particular controller stub. Ex. controller.stub!(:login).and_return(true) This particular line is in a before block of a certain describe block. The strange thing is, every single spec in this file fails on that one line, even the specs in other describe

Hi folks, I''m going through railstutorial.org and so I apologize if I''m hitting the wrong group here and would appreciate any appropriate redirection if necessary. I''ve set up Spork + Autotest as per Michael''s instructions in http://ruby.railstutorial.org/chapters/static-pages#sec:testing_tools Essentially by doing the following (using rvm & I''m

I believe for rails projects you can put rspec''s code repos into vendor/plugins, and autotest will automatically use the rspec binary in that directory, and not the gem installed. Is there an easy way to do this for non-rails projects? There are a few advancements on trunk which I would like to take advantage of. Tips welcome ; ). Scott Taylor

If you want to use rspec-0.9.2 with autotest (ZenTest-3.5.2), you''ll want to read this blog: http://blog.davidchelimsky.net/articles/2007/05/01/rspec-0-9-1-and-autotest-zentest-3-5-2 Enjoy! David

Hello all, I''m new to rSpec but after reading a couple of tutorials I''ve become enamored. Anyway, I am at minute 42 of the rSpec basics screencast ( peepcode.com) and I''m having the following error running autotest w/rSpec: D:\ruby\projects\forecaster>autotest loading autotest/rails_rspec c:\ruby\bin\ruby -rrubygems -e "require ''redgreen''"

Hello, I have noticed that, since version 1.1.4, autotest/autospec does not run any of my specs. After getting a hint from http://b.logi.cx/2008/10/9/non-auto-spec, I dove a bit deeper into the code and found that spec is no longer being run by ruby. I monkey-patched Autotest::Rspec in my .autotest file so that spec is again executed (using code taken from version 1.1.4). autospec is now
