Hi -- I am just getting to grips w/ view specs, and am having an issue with mock_model not stubbing the mocked model''s attributes. For instance, I have the following: <CODE> before do @input_timesheet = mock_model( InputTimesheet ) assigns[:input_timesheet] = @input_timesheet end it "should display a table element" do render

Hi Google has not helped me here. I''m looking for a way to use the have_tag assert_select wrapper outside RSpec on Rails (but in a Rails project) so I can use it to check text strings. Has anyone managed this? Thanks Ashley -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi The code I''m working on now is a server daemon that talks to Twitter, an RSS feed, and some web pages. I''ve got mock implementations of Twitter and the web stuff, which I start and stop with daemon_controller[1]. I do all the setup in a Before block, but this makes the feature runs agonisingly slow due to the time waiting for everything to restart. I''m

Hi I''ve been doing this a while now. If I have a class that responds to : [], and all I''m interested in stubbing is that method, then instead of using a mock I just create a hash. (Similarly, you could create an array when you are testing an Enumerable object.) Example from code I just worked on, where uses MigrationGraph#[] looks up graph vertices by name:

Hi Saving a controller spec frequently gives me this error: 52) LoadError in ''UsersController GET /users with basic request params should find all the user types'' Expected /home/amoran/Documents/becta/apps/Backend/app/models/user_type.rb to define UserType ./spec/controllers/users_controller_spec.rb:299: script/spec:4: I have to Ctrl-C autotest before it will load again.

Hi I have three steps like this: Given ''a user called "$name" of type $user_type and status $user_state in organisation "$organisation_name"'' do |name, user_type, user_state, organisation_name| $runs ||= 1 puts "MOO #{$runs}" $runs += 1 # ... end Given ''a user called "$name" with username

Is there any way to do foo.should (be_nil || be_empty) in rspec. Thanks in advance -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/rspec-users/attachments/20081104/ee43c9c9/attachment.html>

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

Hi I ran across the following when running spec on an old merb app. $ cat spec/spec.opts $ spec spec/models/topic_spec.rb Options written to spec/spec.opts. You can now use these options with: spec --options spec/spec.opts $ cat spec/spec.opts spec/models/topic_spec.rb $ spec spec/models/topic_spec.rb Options written to spec/spec.opts. You can now use these options with: spec --options

Hello. You''re saying that: To get rspec to behave as it did before this change, use this: --pattern "**/*.rb" I tried like this (rspec 1.03) and it wasn''t same as before (rspec 1.08). Now it also loads all other files in current directory and in all subdirectories and not only from directory and subdirectories given to spec as a parameter. So, for example, I have

Hi all Reposting this for the benefit of anyone who may be able to attend but wouldn''t normally see ShRUG announcements. ShRUG is the Sheffield (UK) Ruby User Group. ShRUG July 2010 is now confirmed. Ashley Moran (that''s me) of PatchSpace Ltd (that''s also me, really) will be running an introduction to RSpec, a powerful and mature BDD/testing library for Ruby*. No

Hi I''m trying to spec a call to error_messages_for to avoid stubbing out whole models. Something like this: context "A rendered calculate_quote view" do setup do @form = mock("form") assigns[:form] = @form end specify "should render the error messages" do <SOMETHING>.should_receive(:error_messages_for).with

I wrote a Rails plugin which uses simian to look for duplicates lines in your code and reports in html format, Textmate or Netbeans. I wrote it using RSpec and I have included a RSpec custom matcher: it { rails_application. with_threshold_of_duplicate_lines(4). should be_DRY } If you use Autotest, your specs will fail the next time you do a nasty copy-paste !!!

Hi Just trying to spec a Rails model that defaults a valid_until date to this time tomorrow. I''ve done something similar involving Dates, and you can stub the :today method to return something fixed. But when I tried this with Time, I found that RSpec calls Time.now four times per spec. So there''s no way to spec code like 1.days.from_now . The best I can come up

Hi I''ve just tracked down a wierd error that AFAICT is caused by an error not being raised in the setup: context "An Asset" do setup do @provider = Provider.create(:name => "Provider1") @product = Product.new(:name => "Product1", :provider => @provider) @applicant = Applicant.new(:first_name =>

Hi Are there any plans to add a structure for library specs, eg RAILS_ROOT/spec/lib ? There''s no equivalent spec:libraries task, and any spec lines for library code are lost from the rake stats output. Ashley

I''ve started using specs as a to-do list. I write explicitly violated specs so I know what to come back to. But a lot of the time, that means if I start to work on another piece of functionality covered by the same spec, it''s hard to tell what I''m working on now from the explicit failues. I run all my specs through TextMate to use the HTML output, so I go by

Hi I''ve used the ssl_required line from the ssl_requirement plug-in at the start of a controller for SSL. Its implemented as redirects so I can spec this... describe "GET /gap/get_qote" do controller_name :gap it "should redirect to the HTTPS version of the action" do get ''get_quote'', :id => "finance"

Hi I''m struggling to find a neat way to spec this. The Sequel ORM doesn''t support automatically destroying dependent models. It''s easy enough to do in a callback though: class Changeset < Sequel::Model has_many :migrations, :class => DataModel::Migration before_destroy do migrations.each { |m| m.destroy } end # ... end
