similar to: render_to_string in a controller test?

Hi all, Hoping you can help. I have a project using rspec 1.1.3 and rails 2.0.2. I''ve run into a small problem. Said project has a method in application_helper.rb named "description". Whenever a spec test fails, I see a message like so: *snip*/vendor/plugins/rspec/lib/spec/runner/reporter.rb:37:in `description'': wrong number of arguments (0 for 2)

I realise that this is kind of a basic question but I''m new to rspec and still trying to work out how to do things. I''m working on a rails project that requires basecamp integration via the api, which is fairly trivial to use via the basecamp.rb wrapper: Connection: basecamp = Basecamp.new(APP_CONFIG[''api_host''], APP_CONFIG[''api_username''],

It seems to me that the RSpec bundle''s ''it'' snippet is in need of some love. By default, a newly inserted spec passes. This seems odd as it is misleading.

One of the things I really liked about TestNG was the grouping feature. Are there any plans for rSpec to incorporate that? Is there any way to emulate that functionality in rspec? Will.

Here''s the controller action, spec, and output: http://pastie.org/1640962 Any idea what I''m doing wrong? Thanks, Nick -------------- next part

Hello, my question is rails related though it is also somewhat specific to the prawnto plugin (installed latest version as of 2010-03-15). I would ask on a prawnto forum/list if I knew where one was. Anyhow, I''m using rails 2.3.5 (with ruby 1.8.6 patchlevel 111) in an app that is successfully using the prawnto gem (with the prawn gem version 0.7.1). I''ve got a a

I''m playing around with a list of todos, which I want to render as <ul>''s that can nest to an arbitrary level, so I wrote this as a helper method: def print_todo(t) str = "<ul>\n\t<li>" str += render_to_string(:partial => ''todo'', :object => t) + "\n" t.children.each { |c| str +=

How can I call render_to_string outside of a controller. I''m stuck on this. I''ve nearly got my plugin finished but I can''t seem to get this to work. The method is in ActionController::Base but it is protected. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Just for collective knowledge as I have found no info on this problem online: I solved this by adding an .html.erb file for the "missing template", since by design or bug Rails3 will not find or render another controllers view (in my experience). Then in the new html.erb file, I just put <%= render "comparisons/display" %> because the views *are* able to find templates

The reports are stored in the database and uses database information at the time they are generated (and can thus not be generated later, e.g; when you want to consult them).
