similar to: specifying output of render call

Hi, (This is my first post after months of appreciative lurking...) I''m trying to spec the following conditional controller macro: class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base # turn off session management for robots session :off, :if => lambda {|req| req.user_agent =~ /(Google|Slurp)/i } # ... end My current attempt seems to be quite unsuccessful: 1) when I

I have some javascript specs (using the jspec javascript framework) in my rails 3 project, living in the spec/javascript directory. How can I exclude the ruby files in the jspec project from being run when I run "rake spec"? RSpec::Core::RakeTask used to take a file list (which was usually generated with a glob pattern and an explicit call to Dir.glob). Now it only takes a glob

In FooController, I put method #bar whose only purpose is to run some logic in the background and return a status 204 [1]. So in order to return only the 204 status code, I put at the end of #bar: `render :nothing => true, :status => 204` But then when surfing to /foo/bar, I get an error about "missing template bar.rhtml". Is this a bug? (The solution eventually was `render

In my rspec_on_rails controlle rspec, I have this: require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../spec_helper'' describe FooController, "with a foo" do it "should be false" do get ''index'' assigns[:foo].should be_false end end In my controller I have this: class FooController < ApplicationController def index @foo = FALSE end

Why would, in an upgrade from 3.0.1 to 3.0.3, a rake db:migrate run this: SELECT "schema_migrations"."version" FROM "schema_migrations" vs this ? SELECT `schema_migrations`.`version` FROM `schema_migrations` __ rake db:migrate output __ rake aborted!

Hi! Is it possible to render the action within the after_filter method, or is the rendering performed before? I have something like this: class FooController after_filter :send def a @content=... end def b @content=.. end protected def send send_data(@content,...) end end However, when calling the action a or b, the @content doesn''t get sent, but instead

Hi guys, I would expect an ActionController-derived class to reload _completely_ in development mode. class FooController < ApplicationController include FancyStuffSupport def index # bla end # more actions here end However, the ''FancyStuffSupport'' is not reloaded, only the ''FooController'' itself. Can this behaviour be changed? I feel back

I track svn/trunk of Rails using svn:externals Some change to Rails committed in the last 1-2 days broke my subclass of ApplicationController The example, below, works with Rails 1.0, but in today''s svn, it dies with the following error: "superclass mismatch for class FooController" class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base end class FooController <

I have a lot of controllers with virtually identical functionality for most actions. I''ve been using shared behaviours to DRY things up a bit, but I still have to create separate behaviours for each context before I can use the shared behaviours what I have now is a generic file which contains all the behaviours and examples common to all the controllers, and that file gets loaded from

Rspec is all about using natural language to define behavior. In this context, I feel that lambda is sorely out of place. I was chatting on #irc and a pal of mine (wycats) proposed an interesting alternative: alias_method :doing, :lambda so instead of something like lambda {post :create, {:title => nil}}.should raise_error(ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid) we get doing {post :create, {:title

Hi, In my test case below, it seems that ''initialize'' is called everytime ''hello'' is called. Is this by design, a bug, or my pilot error? class FooController < ApplicationController def initialize print "\n initialize \n" end def hello print "\n hello \n" end end I

Hello all. Is there a way to stop users from being able to access a controllers methods without affecting the ability of other controllers to use them? i.e FooController def secret #Stuff end end BarController def index redirect_to :controller => ''foo'', action => ''secret'', :id => ''007'' end end But directly

Hi there, How does one spec an invocation of a Ruby keyword, such as super in this case? class User < ActiveResource::Base # faking the ActiveRecord before/after_save observers def save super UserMailer.deliver_activation(self) if recently_activated? end end Does the solution look anything like the following? describe User do describe ''#save'' do it

We have an issue where we are using RJS templates to render the results of Ajax calls. Everything works fine so long as the user waits for the render to occur. However, if the user initiates the request and the RJS template is still in the process of rendering, but hasn''t completed, and the user clicks a different link, then we get a Javascript alert popup "Unexpected Server

Hi all, I''m trying to output some info to see what''s happening in a controller during functional tests. Problem: ''print'' only works in the test code, but not in the production code that''s being called by the tests. Example: In FooControllerTest: def test_list print "1: starting" <<----- WORKS FINE get

I''m not sure but I think this is due to the ''modules'' support in the latest beta gems. In some controllers I include small utility classes that only make sense for that controller. Something like this: class SantasLittleHelper < Foo end class FooController < ApplicationController end Where Foo is defined in RAILS_ROOT/lib/foo.rb What I am seeing now

In my blog a user can add comments. I want an Ajax call to add the comment to the bottom of the comments list. How to i return a comment thats is in the comment template and add it to the bottom of the page. I have gotten as far as rendering some text back to the form and the comment doesn''t display until i refresh. This is my _newcomment.rhtml form to create a new comment <div

Hello, I have a simple link_to_remote that refresh a div. I just want to know if it''s possible to interrupt the div''s refresh inside :action to perform a complete reload of the page, outside of the div Actually, I havea a new page, but loaded inside the ":update" div. Someone have an idea please ? the rhtml: **** link_to_remote "yeah" , :update =>

I''m evaluating what to use for integration testing: SafariWatir - integrates nicely with RSpec - doesn''t work with Ajax because of Safari event firing issues Selenium - Works with Ajax - doesn''t integrate with RSpec What is the best guess timeframe for RSpec integration testing? Will it be able to test Ajax application in the early iterations? Thanks, Brian Yamabe
