Is it possible to create a stub that returns hash values. For example I would like to convert this: @siteItem = stub(''plmSiteItem'', :one => "uno") To something like this: @siteItem = stub(''plmSiteItem'', {''one'' => ''uno'', ''two'' => ''dos''} ) So that I can do this:

Hi All, I am new to rspec and it seems that I don''t understand some basics. I need to have a XML import which should parse through XML data and saves all that in various mysql tables. The XML part works just fine and I can test this with rspec. However when I try to execute it "should find country object for DE" do I get an error. @user.country is a one-to-many relation in

Hi guys, I''ve just been reading Martin Fowler''s article re mock versus stubbing<http://martinfowler.com/articles/mocksArentStubs.html>where he compares traditional TDD testing techniques with mock based testing. I''d be interested in comments from a ruby on rails perspective in terms of this and Mocha? For example: a) Do you see Mocha as a robust way to test Ruby

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>

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

Suppose we have a method ''foo'' which internally uses another method ''bar''. Being good BDDers we mock out the ''bar'' method. After all, we only want to spec the ''foo'' method - actually running the ''bar'' method means slower, less maintainable and brittler specs. That''s why we <3 mocking,

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 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

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 !!!

Hello all, In yet another attempt to learn Ruby on Rails and Rspec I have started writing a simple life streaming app with will aggregate feeds from several places and save them in a database for later use. An internet search eventually led me to the following method for looping through the feeds in the database, getting the contents of the URL and then passing this into another model to prepare

Hi to everyone, I''m an RSpec, and BDD in general, newbie so in order to learn I have chosen to use my personal website as a tesbed. I''m having difficulties juggling with mocks, and in particula with the following code. Here''s the controller action: def create @album = Album.new(params[:album]) if @album.save flash[:notice] = "album saved"

Hi all - does anyone know of a good blog post or wiki or something with a good guide to mocking? I''ve got some degree of responsibility for people who are creating mocks. I''m supposed to actually be telling them the best way to do it. In some cases we have code with like a bazillion mock(:x) statements and it''s kind of out of control. I have an idea how the specs should

I am wondering what is the best way to mock such expression: "comment.initiator.group.name" What I do now is: =========================== comment = mock_model(Comment) initiator = mock_model(User) group = mock_model(Group, :name => "Admin") initiator.stub!(:group).and_return(group) comment.stub!(:initiator).and_return(initiator) =========================== So it becomes

Hi everyone, I''m trying this in my helper spec and it didn''t work: @curr_odontogram.should_receive(''photos[1]'').and_return(@photo) and the error is: SyntaxError in ''PersonHelper Deberia devolverme un link para eliminar una foto'' compile error /home/gramos/src/rails/r-dental/config/../vendor/plugins/rspec/lib/spec/mocks/proxy.rb:99: syntax

Hi all, I am mocking the following Rails view (inside a partial): <%= render :partial => "forums/forum", :collection => forum_category.forums.readable_by(current_user? ? current_user : nil) %> My spec fails with the following message: 1) ActionView::TemplateError in ''forum_categories/index (anonymous user) should only render forums accessible to anonymous

I have the following statement mock_requester.should_receive(:request_with).with ("x").any_number_of_times.and_return(@object) which works fine, but when i do it backwards, which makes the same amount of sense syntactically, it fails mock_requester.should_receive(:request_with).with("x").and_return (@object).any_number_of_times are all of the mock options

There is one annoyance I''m encountering with the Mock API in rSpec. Overall it works well, as far as dynamic mocks go ;)... but there''s this one thing... It doesn''t allow overriding of expectations. example: m = mock("blah") m.should_receive(:one).any_number_of_times().and_return(1) m.should_receive(:one).and_return(1) The second call to should_receive

Hello, I am trying to implement the following scenario, but I am stuck ... The thing is I want to initialize a variable @comment when the stub function "find_comment" is called. The way I do it below doesn''t work, since "before_filter :find_comment" returns true/false and @comment initialization is done inside it. Could you please give me a hint how to do it? One

So I have a describe which is a subclass of RailsExampleGroup. I inserted some data into my database, and reconnect! my connection. Before reconnect, finding the data I just created is fine. The data cannot be found, after reconnection, the data is gone. It''s not in the database. It looks to me the data is not actually inserted into the DB at all, just somehow buffered somewhere. Would
