Has Rails 2.1.0 changed the loading precedence? Does it now use a gem in preference to a plugin if both are available? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B. Byrne

I am attending a training course covering rspec. I am using a MS WinXPpro SP3 machine. I have installed the cygwin environment. I am using git 1.5.4. I am using ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32] and rails 2.0.2 (albeit rails 2.1.0 is installed as well) I had to install rspec-rails and rspec via git and as a gem. Problem 1. If one goes to the rspec.info website and links

Hi all, How can I use spec fixtures with rails integration tests ? I''ve tried adding {{ fixtures "../../spec/fixtures/myfixture" }} to the integration test but the fixtures are not loaded when I run the rake task. Rails doesn''t load symlinked fixtures either so I copied the files from spec/fixtures for the time being. Not very DRY. Any ideas ? Keith

This is perhaps a naive question, but what is the recommended manner of testing a helper method in rspec? I have created a simple string manipulation function and I want to write some tests for it. It it were a script then I would just add if __FILE__ == $0 and add the tests below that but I do not feel that this is the best way to handle a rails helper. The code (I said it was simple) :

Greetings! Here''s the problem. When running tests on the restful_authentication plugin, I am getting a routing error on "/". Which I don''t really understand, because the route "/" certainly does exist as I can confirm when I run ./script/server and point my browser at http://localhost:3000/ Here is an example of the error I am getting when I run

Hi all - I''ve applied (to trunk) Bob Cotton''s patch which supports shared behaviours (link to tracker below). I''m still toying w/ names, so please be aware that until this is released w/ 0.9 it should be considered experimental and there will NOT be translation support for it. It will definitely be included in some form - just the names (specifically

Hi -- I''ve tried to get the latest RSpec by following the instructions at: http://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec/wikis/home I clone the repository just fine, but then, when I ''rake gem'', I get the following errors: <OUTPUT> svn: ''..'' is not a working copy svn: Can''t open file ''../.svn/entries'': No such file or

I have played a bit with RSpec specs and now want to check out stories. I note that there is no generator for rspec stories pre se (unless I managed to miss all references to one ) and that the only directory relating to stories added by installing rspec is ./stories itself. The documentation at rspec.info seems to presume a great deal of prior knowledge. What I am looking for is a guided tour

Hi David, all: I recently upgraded to Rails 2.3.1RC2 (Ubuntu 8.10, ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i486-linux]) and have been dilligently following the instructions for upgrading rspec and rspec-rails according to: http://wiki.github.com/dchelimsky/rspec/rails-with-rspec-gems. and when I run ''rake gem'' fails with error: rake aborted! undefined method

Sorry to be such a pest but I am trying to learn Ruby, Rails and RSpec all at one go and it is a bit overwhelming. I have previously completed the depot tutorial in the Agile Web Dev with rails book and now I am trying do do it again using RSpec. What I would like to know now is why I am getting a rake failure error at the end of every spec:models run. Is this the expected behaviour when a test

Hi, I have a rails 2.3.3 app I am migrating to 2.3.11. In the process I am adding bundler support. When I add rspec and rspec rails (1.3.4) to my gemfile, then try to install rspec-rails per the instructions (here https://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec/wiki/rails) using the config.gem method link, I can''t get the script/generate rspec command to work (I am told rspec generator not
