How would I go about writing specs for a lib, particularly one with all protected and private methods. I''m trying to spec the AuthenticatedSystem library from the rails restful_authentication plugin: http://pastie.caboo.se/103625 Also, when you''re mocking objects, a side-effect is helping you define the api of the object. Is there a way to get all the behaviors that

I appear to have written code which travels backwards through time: http://www.vimeo.com/742590 This disturbs me immensely. If anyone can explain it, that would be cool. I think it''s an illusion brought about by how RSpec wraps the code it executes, and by the sheer weirdness of continuations. -- Giles Bowkett Blog: http://gilesbowkett.blogspot.com Portfolio:

Hey all, you HAVE to read this blog post: http://blog.jrock.us/articles/RSpec%20vs.%20Test::More.pod#comments My favorite parts are: 1) ... some rspec code ... > For the sake of comparison lets translate this directly into perl: ... some perl code ... 2) >First, notice that the rspec-version isn''t actually ruby code. It''s not any real language. For the sake of

I''d like to test that my model attributes are properly protected against mass assignment, something like: it "should NOT update :balance on mass assignment" do @account.attributes = {:balance => 1000} @account.balance.should_not == 1000 end instead of doing each attribute manually however, I''d like to automate it so I can pass a list of attributes which CAN be

Hello, I haven''t been able to create a controller spec. You can see the code here: http://pastie.caboo.se/67980 The error message I''m getting is: Spec::Mocks::MockExpectationError in ''PersonController should tell the Person model to create a new person on POST to create'' Mock ''person'' received unexpected message :save with (no args)

Hello all, I''m currently having an issue with some specs, specifically scope issues (probably more of a scope issue than a spec issue at this point)... Here''s the error: ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch in ''A new User should know what role it has'' Role expected, got NilClass D:/ruby/projects/restful_authentication_test/config/../app/models/role.rb:5:in

So how do you work with cookies properly in rspec now? I noticed in the docs that it mentions session, assigns, and flash, but nothing of cookie. I''m using edge rails so I''m concerned about changes to the cookie mechanisms. I need to assign values into the cookie (a remember token for restful authentication) so that I can have it log in by cookie. here is my spec

Hi all, I''m trying to run a Story Runner integration test that uploads a file through Attachment-fu. I''ve tried various ways of specifying the file data, from custom mocks: class MockFile < Struct.new (:original_filename, :read, :content_type); end fdata = MockFile.new "test_upload.txt", "Test Upload", "text/plain" to

I''m trying to mock a object to raise a certain error. By doing so I get a ArgumentError on ActiveRecord''s save! method: http://pastie.caboo.se/85628 I''ve tried to debug it but just can''t seem to find what I''m doing wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers, Eivind Uggedal

I''m doing a redirect in one of my controller actions and somehow I can''t spec it, see this pastie: http://pastie.caboo.se/53120. When following the link from a browser I''m being redirected to the right page. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

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 feel like I''m missing something really easy and I''m just not seeing it. I''m using the restful_authentication plugin and have a User model. Uesr has_many :things and Thing belongs_to :user. That''s it. I did a "script/generate rspec_scaffold thing" to generate all the necessary bits. The "rake db:migrate" to create the db. At

Hi all ! I just started writing specs on a new project. I would just like to validate that this is the way you would write it. I know about mocks, stubs and expectations. I don''t think this is a problem for me. My question really boils down to: def index @projects = current_user.projects.active end My spec needs to return the proxy, no ? Here''s my code: context "A

I recently wrote a matcher for testing AR associations which allows you to specify things like: Foo.should have_many(:bars).through(:bazes) I''m pretty darned proud of it and a couple of people have suggested that I should submit it to the rspec_on_rails project. Before I go to the trouble of writing out rdoc and fully spec''ing it, I just wanted to make sure this was

All, I''m missing something simple, I think. I am writing a spec to say that my CouponController should create a new coupon from the form parameters, then set the current user. Here''s the spec: describe CouponController, "When posting to save_coupon" do before(:each) do @expectedName = "pepper''s" @expectedAmount = 5 coupon =

Here''s a controller spec I wrote, it''s for a very simple RESTful controller (well, aren''t all RESTful controllers simple? :) I''ve created a couple spec helper methods to refactor some of the common code...for example, require_login_and_correct_user creates two specifications: one for when the user isn''t logged in, and one when the user is logged in but
