I''m learning to use rspec and I want to see some good examples. Any recommendations of open source projects that demonstrate the use of rspec? So far I''ve found: 1) the Caboose sample app (http://sample.caboo.se/) 2) the Altered Beast forums app (http://beast.caboo.se/forums/1/topics/4650 ) Any others come to mind? I''m especially interested in seeing

I''m having trouble figuring out how to drive the design of a class. I''m hoping I can get a hint or two from the more experienced BDDers on this list. I''m writing an adapter class that sits between a 3rd party library and my business logic. I would like to extract some information from objects available from the 3rd party lib and covert them into ruby objects.

Just a few observations now that I have completed the upgrade from RSpec-1 to RSpec-2. 1. In my project (2800 examples across about 40 files), MRI 1.9.2-p0 takes roughly 3 times longer to complete the spec run. Runtimes grew from 2.2s (rspec 1.3.0) to 6.1s (2.0.0.rc). 2. Rubinius 1.1.0 runs RSpec-2 without error. 3. JRuby 1.5.1 runs RSpec-2 without error. 4. Both Rubinius and JRuby print a

The canonical example of using BackgrounDRb involves updating a progress bar on some user''s web page. Therefore, the long running background process has some affiliation with a view. How can backgroundrb be used for long running processes that are NOT associated with a controller/view? Is this even possible? I understand the nature of Rails is such that it does "just in

I''m just getting back to looking at backgroundrb after a long hiatus since June. I''m looking at creating some workers but I''m a bit stuck as to how I should write tests for them. What''s the recommended approach for unit testing of workers? The project will ultimately be used by a Rails app but I''m comfortable developing the worker code as a

It seems like half the people on this list are writing a book on Ruby or Rails. For all the hints I''ve seen strewn across the list I have yet to see one that will focus on test-driven development for either Ruby or for Rails. If anyone is looking for a topic, please consider this. I''ve been trying to wrap my brain around the TDD process, but its way of thinking is

hi, can''t find any good tutorial or advice to deal with the creation of a new record and it''s associated objects within the same page. do i have to use ajax just to add custom form fields that will be handled by the controller for associated objects creation.? do i have to use ajax to add associated objects to the unsaved but allready in session parent object? what''s

I''m a new merb user. Rather than ask a bunch of questions on this list, I''d like to ask if anyone can point me to a sample merb application preferably using trunk (or close to it) and preferably using Sequel for the ORM. If I can''t figure out how to bull my way through things from a sample, I''ll come back and ask my newbie questions. Thanks! cr

I''m working on a Rails app that needs to expose a RESTful web service. I''m curious to know some of the best practices as it relates to RESTful API design. Let''s say I have a set of related objects on the server side. I''ll use the venerable subscribers, subscriptions and magazines example to lay it out. class Subscriber < AR has_many :subscriptions

I''d like to play around a bit with ActiveResource for consuming a web service. Does anyone have sample code they would be willing to share? I''ve googled all around and have come up empty except for simple (non- working) examples given in the RailsConf keynote and some associated blog entries. Thanks! cr --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received

I''m trying to test a controller method''s error handling. To do so I need to mock out a method that normally returns a unique number so that it returns a duplicate number several times in a row thereby triggering the error handling. However, I can''t get the mock working. Here''s the test code along with the error (all from test/functional/

What repository should I pull from to get the latest snapshot of the EM java code for jruby? cr

By default, Mongrel will delete the HTTP request body and short circuit calling any handlers if a request is interrupted or incomplete. Unfortunately, this breaks any attempt to correctly handle a partial PUT. (BTW, PUT is *way* more efficient for uploads compared to POST which requires a MIME parsing step.) So, about a month ago I wrote up some patches to Mongrel 0.3.18 that allowed

Hi, I have some controller code like this: def mailing_lists @ml = MailingList.find_by_identifier(@params[:id]) @messages = @ml.messages @headers["Content-Type"] = "application/atom+xml" @response.headers[''Last-Modified''] = @messages.last.created_on.httpdateunless @ messages.empty? minTime =

I''m trying to use TDD on a Rails app. So far (6 hours into it) things are going well. My data model is starting to get a little more complex now. I now have two related tables and I want to make sure my tests cover input validation, record creation, and the proper creation of the foreign key. Do I put this into a test unit for the parent table''s model? Or do I test this

I have what I hope is a simple question regarding a security practice I''ve been using in my first Rails app. I want to know if it''s worthwhile or if the extra typing isn''t worth it. I have 3 models that are related to each other. class User < AR:Base has_one :library end class Library < AR:Base belongs_to :user has_many :items end class Item < AR:Base

I use: STDOUT.should_receive(:puts).with...... many times in RSPEC However, I have a couple of "do you want(Y/N)?" where I use ''print'' and apparently ..(:print).with... does not work. I can change ''print'' to ''puts'' and it works perfectly. How do I test :print and ...getch("y") for input??? Any help would be

I''m thinking of an application in which a user can request for different items (like office stationery). So, I have a table of users and a table of requests. The thing is that depending on the item requested, the parameters are different - for example, pens may have {colour, width, type} while paper may have parameters such as {colour, size (A4, letter, legal), stack size,
