similar to: setting request.raw_post with rspec-rails

Once again, here''s something I haven''t figured out. Apologies if this is too newb-ish, but, how do I spec my routes using RSpec-Rails? In particular, I''ve got a catch-all route that needs to catch a wide variety of URLs: map.document ''*url'', :controller => ''documents'', :action => ''show'' Is there a way to

Hi, We''re using Ferret in a slightly unorthodox way: We''re indexing a large (>100,000) list of names of places all around the world. Mostly we''re quite happy with it, and have been able to graft on our own particular required functionality with just a little tweaking. There''s one strange problem, though: We''ve got a place in Cyprus called

Hi all, I''m just starting to work w/ RSpec, so I hope this question isn''t too obvious or missing the point somehow: Is there a way in RSpec to specify that a controller action should use a specific HTTP status code? Specifically I want to test for the usage of 301 as opposed to 302, for a permanent redirection. response.should be_redirect looks like it calls

Hey all, I''m seeing a strange behavior in my spec that I can''t account for. I''ve got a route that looks like this: map.writing \ ''/writing'', :controller => ''abstracts'', :action => ''index'', :index => { :select => ''all'' } and I have template code that looks like this: <br

OK, so i''ve played a bit with mocks and mock_models in controller and view tests and i have a question. Is this statement really correct: "We highly recommend that you exploit the mock framework here rather than providing real model objects in order to keep the view specs isolated from changes to your models." (http://rspec.rubyforge.org/documentation/rails/writing/views.html

I''m in the process of migrating from Rails 2 with rspec 1 to Rails 3 with rspec 2, the process has been going pretty well, however, today I came across an issue that I wanted to share. I have a controller that sends out an email through a mailer. Rails 2 code: CurriculumCommentMailer.deliver_comment_update(@curriculum_comment, "created") Rails 3 code:

Say I''m testing a controller with rspec, and I have logger.debug and logger.error calls. Normally I''d like them to write to the appropriate file, but in this case I''d like to see the output on STDOUT. Is there an easy way to redirect logging in rspec to do this? I''m thinking that controller.should_receive(:logger).and_return(logger) should start it off,

I''ve been off the rspec for a few months and I''m trying to get back on it. 1) Spec::Mocks::MockExpectationError in ''TicketsController handling POST /tickets should create a new ticket'' Mock ''Ticket_1001'' expected :new with ({}) once, but received it 0 times ./spec/controllers/tickets_controller_spec.rb:16: script/spec:4: class

I''m having a terrible time trying to test a nested route with rSpec. I can''t seem to tell rSpec to expect the call @item.user. The following error message plagues me not matter how I try to fuss with the mock: Spec::Mocks::MockExpectationError in ''ItemsController handling POST / items should redirect to the new course on successful save'' Mock

Hi, I''m a rspec newbie. I''m having trouble with rspec''ing a simple controller to Create a record. I''ve tried a couple of approaches and still get errors: Mock ''remedy'' expected :save! with (any args) once, but received it 0 times -or- Mock ''Remedy'' received unexpected message :save with (no args). Here are my two

I''m wondering what''s the difference between stub and message expectation with any_number_of_times, for example: myMock = mock("mymock") myMock.stub!(:is_a?).with(MyClass).and_return(false) and myMock = mock("mymock") myMock.should_receive(:is_a?).with(MyClass).any_number_of_times.and_return(false) because is_a? may not be called at all, it just like a

Hi, I have two model: Message, User message.rb ``` class Message < ActiveRecord::Base class << self def method_a(args) [1,2] end end end ``` user.rb ``` class User < ActiveRecord::Base def method_user if Message.method_a(''anythings'') #... some code end end end ``` I want to test method_user,but I don''t want to test

The ability to choose a mocking framework is great as I prefer mocha, but I am have problems. On my controller specs, I am forced to ''integrate_views'' as the following code below shows you, the mocking of views is rspec specific. See stub! versus mocha''s stub unless block_given? unless integrate_views?

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

Thanks Wolas! Sorry if this seems like a newbie question, what am I supposed replace the stubbed_method_name with? Also, I came across the only thread on the Interwebs which seems to cover this topic - it''s over a year old, but I think they have a solution which could work around the issues you pointed out. However, I couldn''t work out how to get their subbing approach to

I''m trying to spec out a render partial collection but I get the following error 2) NoMethodError in ''/games/_game.rhtml should show game name'' undefined method `body'' for #<#<Class:0x316580c>:0x2f1154c> /Volumes/EXTERNAL/web/omenking.ca/vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails/lib/spec/rails/matchers/have_text.rb:12:in `matches?''

I was looking over some of my specs. I was thinking that the following: @game.should_receive(:name).and_return(''The Battle for Blaze'') @game.should_receive(:people).and_return(5000000) @game.should_receive(:activated).and_return(true) Would it look cleaner if I could do this instead? @game.should_recieve_and_return( :name => ''The Battle for Blaze''

Hey, Sorry for so many questions - I''m really bad at this right now. I''m trying to cover the following code w/ rspec def index if params[:user_id] @user = User.find(params[:user_id]) @messages = @user.messages end end So basically what I''m doing is listing all the messages for a user, provided there is an id parameter. describe
