similar to: What is SpecServer?

Hello, I''ve been trying to google the definitive way to combine autotest, rspec, and spec-server, but to no avail. It seems like there are lots of suggestions from old versions. Furthermore, some commands such as rake:autotest don''t seem to be around anymore. So, is it required to install ZenTest as a gem? I have version 3.9.1. I believe this gets me the autotest

Hello List, For a small project I''ve been using ''ruby script/spec -X spec'' to execute my specs. Now that I added ZenTest on it, found that the test takes longer to run due the complete load of test environment. Since autotest uses ''script/spec -O spec/spec.opts'' as the command, I decided to add --drb to spec.opts Using --drb or -X, spec_server is

I am just getting into web servers/web applications and rails as well so bear with me. I am trying to write a web app that, based on a users input from the browser, will perform some task, and update the browser (ala ajax style) as needed and/or provide a way for the user to control the background task. Now, I have more experience with java servlets, which makes this easy enough for a beginner.

Hi everyone. I can''t get the above(subject line) combination to work. If I use a standard sqlite3 file db for the test db, and spec_server all the specs on my models pass. If I use an in-memory db for the test db, script/spec w/o spec_server, they all pass. But if I use in-memory and spec_server I get the following error: 1) ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in ''User should be

Is the rspec_autotest plugin mentioned here, http://blog.nicksieger.com/articles/2006/11/15/rspec-autotest-now-a-rails-plugin the accepted method of auto testing specs? It''s an old article, and after grabbing the plugin, and giving it a run, it fails with: $ rake spec:autotest:rails trunk/vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails/lib/spec/rails/dsl/behaviour/rails_example.rb:31: undefined method

Hello, Running RSpec without DRB works fine. However, "spec -X" runs without error but provides no output at all, even though the DRB spec_server seems to be fine. Has anyone got some suggestions as to why and how to fix?

Hey guys, I''m running spec_server and using --drb with my specs in Rails, and I''m seeing virtually no speed up. I''m using rspec/rspec_on_rails trunk. Is there something I''m doing wrong?

My application is going to have a work queue of scheduled tasks stored in the DB. This work queue will be shared across multiple Rails app servers. I need a way to ensure that no two servers get the same jobs if multiple servers pop jobs off the top of the queue simultaneously. Is there a fairly simple way to acheive this? Or do I need to come up with some fancy secondary server to dispatch

Hi all, I have an external web service that I need to log into at a specific part of my web app,. The problem is that I only have one login to this web service, and if another login attempt is made while an existing login session is still active, the existing session gets terminated. How can I best serialise access across my mongrel cluster to this external API? I thought of creating

hi, When running rails spec tests is there a log file generated? i''m looking for generated sql to help me debug like in development.log or is there a way to run the test against a webrick server so i can see logs? (i''m not running with spec_server at the moment, it doesnt seem to work well with autotest) thanks linoj

Just ran svn up this morning, and got this (after running ./script/ generate rspec) escher: ./script/spec spec/models/item_spec.rb Finished in 8.0e-06 seconds 0 examples, 0 failures ./script/spec:4:in `run'': wrong number of arguments (3 for 1) (ArgumentError) from ./script/spec:4 Using rails 1.2.3, rspec trunk, on Mac OS X.4.9.

Folks- I just commited another revision of the plugin. Nothing huge in this update but some extra features. Acl lists are now configurable in the config file. So you will want to blow away and recreate your config file again. Thanks to Georg Friedrich for this. And I applied Gunter Ladwig''s patch for singleton worker classes. These are workers that only have one instance of

Before I chalk this up as a bug and report it, I just want to make sure I''m not doing something silly. Running ZenTest''s autotest on OS 10.4.10 with RSpec 1.0.8, drb, produces the following failed test: ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch in ''User should create an avatar with uploaded_data'' Avatar expected, got Avatar This only happens with that exact

hi all I''m trying to use spec_server to run my specs in rails, but the specs don''t seem to be running any faster, and it looks like they''re being run twice when I use the --drb option ..? The app I''m testing is just a basic rails app with 2 empty models and a hello world controller. The specs are just the default ones created by the generators. I was

How can I spec out a rake task? How can I use rake in my spec''s? I want to fix this rake spec:autotest bug with --drb and --color. How can I get rake output? How would I get out of autotest? My initial thought is just to run the command in the spec. Scott

Is there something currently going on on the rspec trunk that causes a massive slowdown when running rake spec and autotest (without spec_server)? I updated to the latest trunk yesterday and the time needed to run the specs of my app jumped from ~20 seconds to more than a minute. The weird thing is that if I run the rake spec tasks separately (controllers, models, views, helpers), they

Hello, Thank you so very much for Backgroundrb. Good Stuff. A general question: Do: - calling ''teminate'' within a worker - calling delete_worker through MiddleMan - letting the :ttl expire - calling MiddleMan.gc! (with an appropriate timestamp) All accomplish the same thing? And here''s a bonus feature request: It''d be cool if you could specify how many

Is there some way to remove the database hit when running rake rspec:models ? I''d like to mock all of my objects (or at least remove all reliance on fixtures and the database itself) - both for speed and because static fixtures are brittle. Best Regards, Scott Taylor
