Hi all, I''m fairly new to rails and ruby, but I''ve come across an interesting glitch and I''m not sure whether I''ve just got something wrong with my assumptions or if it really is an error in the underlying framework... I''ve created a bare-bones set of tests to show you where the problem is. What follows are the steps I went through to reproduce the

I added this test towards the end of the included file_column_helper_test.rb that shipped with the file_column plugin: def test_url_for_file_column_different_root_path Entry.file_column :image, :root_path => File.join(RAILS_ROOT, "public/files") e = Entry.new(:image => upload(f("skanthak.png"))) assert_match %r{/public/files/entry/image},

Good morning (Pacific Time). I have a controller action that, as a side-effect, sends an email to an administrator. I want it to do something like this: specify "when someone successfully signs up, an email should be sent to the administrator with the person''s contact page" do post :signup, {...lots o'' params} response should_be success #

Hello, I''m getting this warning: Warning: Ambiguous first argument; make sure. in my unit test: assert_match /^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$/, user.username Does anyone know why or how to change it so it disappears?

Hello all, I seem to have an annoying habit of realizing that I''ve asked a question with a blindingly obvious answer just after I''ve asked it but here goes. I''ve noticed that in my functional tests there''s the occasional reliance on the contents of the flash. For example, I have an action that confirms a users identity and may reject them because A)

Hi, I''m using ActionController::rescue_action_in_public() to send emails when uncaught exceptions happen. Is it possible to write tests for that? Joe

I have seen it in 3.0.9 doc ( http://apidock.com/rails/v3.0.9/ActionDispatch/Assertions/SelectorAssertions/assert_select_rjs ) but it''s not mentioned in the latest guide ( http://guides.rubyonrails.org/testing.html#integration-testing-examples) if deprecated how can I check the view from an Ajax call ( assert_match + gsub could work ? ... ) am I missing any doc ? xhr :get, :change_area,

I have an input field with an id which has a value. The web_steps.rb method does not find the value. Is this the right step to use to check an input field? It works fine for a text_area but not an input. Scenario steps (tried both ways): Then the "travel_card_number_gate" field should contain "5" Then the "#travel_card_number_gate" field should contain "5"

We have a service that clients use to upload files. We have a couple of clients that are on slow links and so their upload times out. We get errors in the logs that I''d like to get rid of. I was hoping that the recent commit 24b9f66dcdda44378b4053645333ce9ce336b413 would help us, but it does not. After digging in a bit, I have some ideas about why and a patch I''d like comments

Hi ! I just need a pointer on how to do functional testing of ActionMailer. My unit test for the ActionMailer is working fine - now I simply need to assert that it''s being called in my Controller. The testing book ends quite abruptly at http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/64 I searched around on the web, but I didn''t find anything very conclusive. Thanks, François

I figured most of it out. The Spec::Rails stuff was something in the code which has been fixed by revision 3099. The test methods partially make sense. Since the test/unit code has been integrated, methods with test in them are automatically turned into specs. However, the test? method is in a lib file that isn''t directly loaded into the specs. It is a convenience method: def

Yum fails to install Pan, and neither epel nor rebelbase.com seems to have an rpm for it. Why not? And can I get an rpm somewhere else? Or am I doing something obviously wrong that I don't see?? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.

Sorry, but this is really NOT as easy as the tutorials/books make out. I''m really struggling at the first hurdle here. And while I''m not a programmer by design I do know my way around most stuff. And if I can''t get this to work I suspect more people will have the same issues. There seems to be too many variables to address. I have winXP, I have ruby and rails all

I appeal to those entrusted with the keeping of the R flame, the S flame, and the S-Plus flame to relate a bit of history. How did S, S-Plus, and R get their names? Going from S to S-Plus appears clear, a commercial company purchased rights to S, developed a product that they wanted to indicate was related to S, but was more fully developed. This leaves me with only a rumor how S got its original

Hallo all, can someone tell me what can be the regulare expression for this: "The Road", "The Road 12", "Road", "On the Road 89". -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Fyi, I made the following renames: * RailsExample -> RailsExampleGroup * FunctionalExample -> FunctionalExampleGroup * ControllerExample -> ControllerExampleGroup * ViewExample -> ViewExampleGroup * HelperExample -> HelperExampleGroup * ModelExample -> ModelExampleGroup This was done to keep the naming consistent with ExampleGroup.

Hi, I''m trying to write a helper for Scriptaculous'' InPlaceCollectionEditor component. I''ve already submitted a patch (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/4302). This was a drunk patch; it needs a bit of work (Don''t drink & code!). So far I''ve gotten it to work correctly with normal collections, but I want to use it for belongs_to relations as

Railsters: ActiveRecord''s validation system puts other database systems to shame. However, the newbies might not know how to write a regexp that excludes a match, instead of tests for it. Understand - I''m just asking this question to help them. I have been using Regexps since ''grep'' on Xenix! But the newbies here might not know how to do this:

I store my file_column database outside of my RAILS_ROOT. It seems to work in real life, but not in tests. In the tests, I can''t set both the root_path and the store_dir. In tests, setting the store_dir option will override the root_path option. The only way for root_path to work is to remove store_dir. I think the problem is in file_column.rb on line 22: options[:store_dir]

I''m curious why the Parameter block check for the with is going to be removed. I like the concept of clean, readable tests, however I also like to test as efficiently as possible. For some tests, I''ll take the approach of putting test assertions inside the parameter block, and always returning true. This is a contrived example: def test_something mock =
