similar to: outside-in = integration tests on views?

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, I''m programming a Ruby on Rails project where I am on the edit page of /boxes/1/edit and I''m trying to make an InPlaceEditor for the color property. (E.g. red box, blue box, etc.) My problem is that after successfully saving the value in the database, the response I get from the server is javascript, and it''s being rendered in the place where the updated value is

Hey list, I''m refactoring some much-used functionality into a common_steps step group. Methods like this are in there: steps_for :common do Given "a number of existing $types?" do |type| @initial_item_count = type.singularize.classify.constantize.count end When "the user adds an invalid $type" do |type| post

Comments and suggestions for improving the specifications are welcome. Thanks, Alvin One example comparing context/specify (CS) with given/when/then (GWT) with a strategy pattern follows: Consider a pipeline transporting oil supplied by multiple partners. The amounts transported on behalf of each partner are recorded as transactions in a general ledger. There are multiple approaches to

I would like y''all''s opinions on ease of implementation into Rails, quality and quantity of widgets etc between Yahoo User Interface and Google Web toolkit and ExtJS. I am just getting ready to invest a huge amount of effort into one of them and I would like to know what the community''s experience has been with these toolsets. OR.. is there a better open source set of

Dear Debian persons I would like enquire about whether the repository deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic-cran35/ I tried to follow the instructions and I cannot get R3.5.1 - I get R3.4.4???

I''m going through Peepcode''s Rspec Basics for an overview. He''s just doing a simple spec: class PeepCode end describe PeepCode do it "should be awsome" do end end So running spec spec/simple_spec.rb should produce according to his screen cast: 1 example, 0 failures, 1 not implemented but I only recieve: 1 example, 0 failures Also spec

Hello, I want to seperate my admin and public views but only use one controller. How to seperate layouts ist clear but how can I tell the controller to render the *.rhtml files in views/admin/ when logged in or render the *.rhtml files in views/public/ (for example).

I have looked through the docs, looked at the code, even gave a cursory (2 page) glance at google, and it is not clear to me what SpecServer is or what it is for. Is it meant to speed up the execution of specs in a rails environment by doing some magic on the database? Or I am thinking it keeps a copy of Rails running to avoid the rails reload delay... Is there any documentation on this so I

Does anyone know of any RSpec screencasts for dummies, like me :) I have a Java background, but I have never written a java test in my life. I''ve never learned about TDD or BDD so I''m totally blank on everything that has anything to do with testing and stuff. Where should I start?!? ;) Christian... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this

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

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 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

Has anyone done any experiments with regards to type strengthening or weakening in the context of LLVM? For example, the GWT compiler does type strengthening - that is, if you are calling a method on an interface or abstract type, and the compiler determines through live variable analysis what the concrete type is, then it goes ahead and re-writes the type information to be the stronger

So I dig rspec and BDD, of course. I thought that Dave''s Google Video was a great intro () -- even if it was a bit heavy on theory and a bit loose on the nuts and bolts. But I don''t see anyone sufficiently answering the big question: What do you test? How do you define higher level and lower level behaviors that should have tests written for them?

Hi to all I''m a new in ruby and RoR programming. And my problem is Rspec. I don''t understand how to write test files in rspec. Maybe it''s because I don''t know ruby good. Can you send me links to fine examples/screencasts/e-books and other stuff. I found some on google but it not enough :( Thanks for replie''s -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Google Summer of Code has announced the opening of applications for Mentor organizations. Pamela Fox mentioned awhile ago that Mapstraction may be a good fit. http://socghop.appspot.com/ I would like to brainstorm if we have identifiable projects, and preferably even interested students, that would like to work together on putting in some applications. A couple of initial possibilities: -

Hi, Thanks Zed - this is very interesting. One item in particular caught my eye: Does anyone on this list have any comments or validation that Rails 1.2.1 is 2-4 times as slow as Rails 1.1.6? Topfunky provided a link that purports what looks like really horrible performance and memory characteristics for Rails 1.2.1, even v. 1.1.6:

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
