How does a person test private methods? Is there a way to declare them as private, but retain any tests that were written during the initial development? Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, We just spent half an afternoon figuring out why "jruby -S rake spec" didn''t generate any output at all (no warnings) on an edge rails app. We were seeing different behaviour on different boxes, and after a while figured out that it was related to a missing diff-lcs gem on one box.

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

How do you load fixtures from specs as you would test? eg. rake db:fixtures:load RAILS_ENV=development -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/rspec-users/attachments/20080131/38c3b0ab/attachment.html

Hi, I''m very new to rspec so please be patient with me. I''ve tried to take some of my tests out of the controller specs to check for things that are rendered. This has not worked so well, since my views have the controller method current_user in quite a few places. Is there any way that I can define this so that my views will be executed? Will this same thing occur for all

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 =

I''m trying to jump on the TDD/BDD bandwagon, but am having trouble understanding how i should mock my user. The user has a habtm relationship to a roles model (acl_system2 plugin), but I''m not sure how to tell rspec about a model. My code: describe UsersController do integrate_views before(:each) do @user = mock_model(User)

I''m using restful_authentication in my app and I have the before filters in my application rhtml: before_filter :login_required around_filter :set_timezone around_filter :catch_errors Currently I have them commented out while rspec''in but I''ll need to add them in my specs. def create @ticket = Ticket.new(params[:ticket]) @ticket.user = current_user if

My problem: Mock ''Task_1005'' received unexpected message :user_id= with (1) No matter what I do to try to stub that out it will still fail out and give me that message. Here is my spec describe TasksController, "handling POST /tasks" do before(:each) do @task = mock_model(Task, :to_param => "1", :save => true)

Hi, I have been reading the documentation and examples on the rspec site. There are two "patterns" from Rails that I am not clear how to implement that are kind of related, and so I am not sure how to start. Does anyone have any examples of how to write rspecs for these? 1/ Nested resources. 2/ Resources that are specific to the current_user. In other words, I only want to

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

I had an error that I couldn''t figure out, then when writing up a question for the forum I figured it out. The thing is I don''t understand why the change that was made works and why what existed before didn''t. Here is the initial post when I had the error: ---------------------------------- In the controllers/application.rb file I have a method that finds the account

I''m doing RSpec controller testing with CanCan authorization, and I''m seeing something I''ve never seen in RSpec before: the same test run twice fails on the second one. I am NOT doing before(:all) or other things that should cause state to persist between tests: Here''s the relevant code: context "POST create" do context "with user logged

1 def create 2 @user = User.new(params[:user]) 3 @user.save! 4 self.current_user = @user 5 redirect_to user_path(@user) 6 flash[:notice] = "Thanks for signing up!" 7 rescue ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid 8 render :action => ''new'' 9 end I can''t seem to properly spec this out. I am trying numerous things, the latest one is

Right now in my view, I have a whole HUGE clump of <% if current_user %> and then <% if current_admin %> and then <% if current_teacher %> and then all that other stuff in my view. I have a ginourmous chunk of if and else statements in my views... is there a way to make it prettier? The if and else''s almost all have the same functions, expect for some minor changes.

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

I am using helper the RESTfully generated helper methods in my views. My routes are nested so the helpers appear to need arguments passed to them, but it works without arguments. Say for example I have pages and comments. If I do page_comments_path without parameters, it works. However, when I run the rspec test, it fails and tells me i''m missing parameters. I tried to pass

Thank you in advance for your help. I am relatively new to both Rails and Rspec and I am hoping for some insight from some experienced veterans. Right now I am using Rspec for code that has already been written so that additional functionality can be developed using the BDD method. My problem shows up when I try to spec controllers that are behind the login system. Each page checks for the

ok, i have a pretty almost finished (frontend) blog, i have defined an admin zone with authentication to add content, now im getting trouble with the views for the controllers in the admin zone, here you can see my file structure: http://img284.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tmpviews6oq.gif and my admin controllers like this: controllers/admin/admin_controller.rb class Admin::AdminController

I''m having trouble testing my Rails 3 application. Unit testing doesn''t work. If I try ruby article_test.rb directly, I get a "no such file to load" error, and if I try rake test:units or ruby unit/ article_test.rb I get this odd "superclass mismatch for class ArticlesController" error! I''m hoping I can get this settled... My test files were
