I''ve decided that I want to use more automated tests because I''ve been intrigued by the idea of BDD. I am new to using tests, so I''m curious if there have been any writeup on using rSpec. This is one of the only ones I''ve found: http://blog.teksol.info/articles/2005/11/17/building-a-plugin-on-rspec It seems that the benefit of BDD is that it makes it

I posted a quick screencast demonstrating some BDD with RSpec yesterday: http://wincent.com/a/about/wincent/weblog/archives/2007/05/ behaviourdriven.php I''m a C/Objective-C programmer who knows a bit of Ruby, almost nothing about Rails, and in BDD I can really only claim "new but interested" status. It''s not scripted, it''s totally improvised and

Hi I hope this is not OT. I''m training my replacement at work to do BDD Rails development. He''s done a CS/maths degree but has no professional programming experience, so he''s never NOT done a project without BDD. In a way I am jealous of his unspoilt situation :) I''ve gone about things this way: * first teach him some Ruby (he did mainly Java at

Hey everybody I''m sorry, I know that this question seems to arise every few moments, but I think in my case it''s a bit special (but doesn''t everybody?). Well, I''m working with RoR on a private level since v1.0, and my knowledge about both Ruby and Rails are on a basic level (but definitely does exist), but I''m in no means near being an expert yet. In

Hello, and Happy News Year from France J Since 4 month I'm trying to configure Samba 3 on an Ubuntu server 10 to replace a W2k server. The client software is used over Windows XP vista and seven. This software use smb for a flat file (.dbf) share for 9 users the new server is more powerful the old one but I think that the Oplocks options are causing high latencies in the request.

Hi, I''ve installed Dashboard on my server and I aim to remotely request the MySQL Database. All documentations read explain the way to roll out using Dashboard and MySQL Database on the same server. I am looking for any information to achieve that because I haven''t found any from the time being and I wonder if it''s just possible. Thanks you, David -- You received

Hi all, How can I use spec fixtures with rails integration tests ? I''ve tried adding {{ fixtures "../../spec/fixtures/myfixture" }} to the integration test but the fixtures are not loaded when I run the rake task. Rails doesn''t load symlinked fixtures either so I copied the files from spec/fixtures for the time being. Not very DRY. Any ideas ? Keith

Going back to the debate about keeping state between steps, I found myself with the mild urge to be able to write this today: Given there is a user And the user has 20 friends Then I should see a thumbnail of each of the users''s friends Which should be a link to the user profile page for that friend NB: An idiom in this which may be songkick-only but was inspired by what

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|

This email is written on the premise that LLVM will be involved in GSOC again this year. I noted that the wiki's open projects page [0] has several possible projects, that seem suitable for a summer of code project. I am writing this email to this list with the hope of getting some feedback on specifics for a GSOC application, and also wondering if any potential mentors are interested in

The RSpec Development Team is pleased to announce the release of RSpec-1.0.8. RSpec 1.0.6 is the "holy cow, batman, it''s been a long time since we released and there are a ton of bug fixes, patches and even new features" release. RSpec 1.0.7 and 1.0.8 deal with a regression introduced in 1.0.6 and a hiccup in releasing 1.0.7, respectively. == RSpec RSpec is a Behaviour Driven

Hi, I wonder what kind of interest there is on Test Driven Development (TDD) in R. Test Driven Development consists of writing the test before the function, and iteratively build the function until it passes the test. Python and Ruby (specially Ruby) have very strong test-oriented cultures. In fact, in Ruby at least the custom is to do TDD and lately Behavior-driven development (BDD). In BDD,

Hi, Not sure if this is the right place for general questions on BDD style, but here goes... I have a class which behaves almost like a big function - you always instantiate it with a bunch of args, and call one of a couple of methods to get the results back. BDD style seems to like a separate describe block for each instantiation of the class under test. In this case that would mean a
