Hey gang, I have this dead-simple method defined in a helper: def add_category_link(name) link_to_function name do |page| page.insert_html :bottom, :categories, :partial => ''category'', :object => Category.new end end Where, and mostly how, would I spec this? I haven''t been able to find how to stub the rjs in a helper spec, so

Hi, I have a need for the StepGroup feature in stories but not clear what''s the current api. Could you provide an example? In my case I have several scenarios which vary in the Givens, but not the results. Ideally I''m hoping to achieve something like: (but anything will do for now :) Scenario: one Given something When he does foo Then good things should happen

Hey list, This is a kinda quirky question for this list, but I do think it belongs here. I''m currently writing an app with users with different roles. Roles are sequentially so to speak, so role 2 can do everything role 1 can, and so on. If I truly test my whole app, I should test all behaviour for each role, I guess. I could solve that by doing some clever shared steps and

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 just found this one: http://tinyurl.com/3c3mfa David, are there any other RSpec books in the works? With Regards, Cody Skidmore

Hey list, Anyone have experience with acts_as_xapian and Cucumber? I''m struggling with updating xapian''s index, to actually "find" fluff that has been indexed.. In a scenario, I''m adding a bunch of articles, and in the actual search step, I run: When "I search for \"$query\"" do |query| %x[rake RAILS_ENV=test xapian:update_index]

Greetings, How to write Example which will check if model''s variable''s format is valid using :on => :create, like this: class User < ActiveRecord::Base ... validates_format_of :email, :with => /.../, :on => :create ... Using following code is not right: it "should ..." do @user = users(:example_user) @user.email =

Hi all, Running on OSX 10.5.3, Latest Rspec trunk, Rspec rails trunk, latest autotest gem and rails 2.1 I''ve lost my colour output in autotest. rake spec gives colour output, but autotest gives me black and white. It was working a little bit before, I think I upgraded to the latest versions of everything to get all the textmate snippets talking and being friendly to one another again

Hey gang, I find myself struggling with multiple step definitions in cucumber all the time. I regularly test the contents of my flash[:notice] in steps, since I think that''s part of the behaviour of the app. So, while implementing a new feature, I ran into the following error: /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/cucumber-0.1.15/bin/../lib/cucumber/ step_mother.rb:81:in

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

I am using auto_complete to provide a list of persons from which the user can select one. On selection from the auto_complete list, a hidden field is updated with the id of the selected person. This is all wrapped in a form, that then can be submitted by the user (by clicking the provided submit button). On submission, the person (based on the id in the hidden field) is added to a group. I assume

I find myself doing this kind of thing a lot in Controller Specs: @vacancy = mock_model(Vacancy) @vacancy.stub!(:reference) @vacancy.stub!(:title) @vacancy.stub!(:created_at) @vacancy.stub!(:updated_at) @vacancy.stub!(:body) @vacancy.stub!(:contract) @vacancy.stub!(:location) @vacancy.stub!(:salary) @vacancy.stub!(:benefits)

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

Assuming you have a multi-step wizard like thing, with lots of different states and paths through it. What approach would your use to write a feature for it? What I want to do is do the separate states and then reuse these things in more complex scenarios that cover paths. For example Scenario: State A Given I''m ... And I''m ... When I ... Then I should see And I at

I''ve got the following in config\routes.rb: map.resources :users In app\views\shared\_menu.erb, I''ve got: Please sign in <%= link_to "here", :controller=>"user", :action=>"sign_in" -%> In app\controllers\users_controller.rb def sign_in end When I run the application, I crash with: Routing Error No route matches

Hi all, The following only affects people who have bravely begun to experiment with the 2 day-old plain text story runner and definable groups of steps. For those who fit that bill, I just committed a few changes that will require you to make changes to your code. The StepMatchers class is now the StepGroup class. The step_matchers methods on PlainTextStoryRunner and StepGroup is now just

In using stories, I find myself wanting to build scenarios on top of each other, For example I want something like Scenario: The user logs on Given a And b When c And d Then e And f Scenario: The user changes his password Given the user logs on And g Then h In other words, I''d like to write the second scenario starting with the ''state'' produced by

I have non non-plain-text story without any steps_for, can it be run? If so, how? Thanks, Nate

I think it is a common test case you would meet. For example, you want to test a user registry scenario. You write: Scenario: User Registry When I dosth Then I dosth ... And now business has some changes. Register should have to activate his account by a secret code sent by mobile phone. So you need to write the other scenario: Scenario: User Registry and Account Activation By Mobile
