I''m trying to use stories to drive some high-level design. I''ve got some branching scenarios where I want to follow a scenario, to establish a base situation, and then have different scenarios which ''branch'' out from that state, possibly several levels deep. I asked a bit about this a few days ago, and David pointed out the rather undocumented GivenScenario

The RSpec Development Team is pleased as glug (that''s kind of like punch, but more festive) to announce RSpec-1.1.0. Thanks to all who have contributed patches over the last few months. Big thanks to Dan North and Brian Takita for their important work on this release. Dan contributed his rbehave framework which is now the Story Runner. Brian patiently did a TON of refactoring around

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

I''m having trouble using autotest with rspec on a non-rails project. my Rspec gem is version 1.0.8, ZenTest is 3.6.2 project structure $ ls * lib: parser.rb spec: parser_spec.rb autotest finds and runs the spec, but it won''t detect changes to lib/parser.rb I know it''s something stupid, but... help? -- Rick DeNatale My blog on Ruby

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

I''ve gotten quite a bit out of Pat Maddox''s screencast http://evang.eli.st/blog/2007/10/8/story-runner-top-to-bottom-screencast One thing I''m not sure of is the feature where he writes things like: When "I POST to", "/articles", :post => {:title => "Title", :body => "Body") do | path, params| post_via_redirect

I''m working on porting our app. Do I need to upgrade rspec from 1.1.3? If so which version. BTW the installation doc at http://rspec.info/documentation/rails/install.html seems to be stuck in the pre-git days. -- Rick DeNatale My blog on Ruby http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/

How do I use the ruby debugger with a specific test (not the whole spec file)? I want to do something like this. $ rdebug spec/models/user_spec.rb -s "should error if not new_record" ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?

do I have to manually clear out the database after a story runs? Seems like the data the story left is still in there. Joe

I''ve got a model Message, which needs to send an email using action mailer after it''s first saved in the database. I want to pass the model to the mailer which then uses methods on the message model to render the email. So the natural way to do this is in an after_create callback on the Message model. But I can''t see an easy way to test this. Here''s my spec

I''ve made a model called Color to manage custom styles for my application. It works find when I''m running it locally in Mongrel, and I haven''t tried to deploy it yet. I use ZenTest and Autotest, and when I run autotest I''m getting the following message: "C:/rails/band/trunk/app/models/color.rb:1: Color is not a class (TypeError)" My Color model is

Hey, I just ran into a situation where I would like to expect a method call with an argument I know and another one, which is a random number. I think mocking up the rand method is somehow ugly so I thought maybe this is the first time where I can take something from Java to Ruby ;) Java''s EasyMock mocking library knows things like "anyObject()" and "anyInteger()" in

Hi all, We''ve moved the rspec website to http://rspec.info. We want http://rspec.org, of course, but someone is squatting on and has yet to respond to my email :( The 1.1.0 docs are there. The 1.0.8 docs are still at http://rspec.rubyforge.org for the time being. We''ll be archiving them at the new site soon. This new site is hosted on our shiny new sponsored slice at Engine

I''m wanting to write a spec that a model is applying an :order option to a find call, but I don''t want to completely specify all of the find parameters. So I want to write something like this, say in a controller spec User.should_receive(:find).with(:all, hash_with_at_least(:order => ''user.name ASC'')) get ''index'', :sort =>

hi all, i''m just trying to check a partial has been rendered, by using: response.template.should_receive(:render).with(:partial => "tasks/list") this passes, even if I put something bogus in the partial name, such as: response.template.should_receive(:render).with(:partial => "___tassdfsdfks/list") does anyone know why this doesn''t fail? is this the

I have multiple roles in my application. Now I want to block a method for all users except the administrator and a manager. When I do this: before_filter (:check_administrator_role), :only => [:administration] before_filter (:check_taskmanager_role), :only => [:administration] The user must have both roles. How can I change that to an "OR" combination? -- Posted via

Today I worked on adding email exception notification to some ancillary background processes for a Rails app. Since I was already using Jamis'' exception notification plugin to notify me of errors in controllers for the web app, I figured that the path of least resistance was to try to figure out how to hook it into the daemon code. At first it looked easy. I just needed to
