similar to: AutoTest / Rspec - "stack level too deep"

Hi We have a Rails project using an engine which I want to run autotest with rspec against. So the project specific specs are in the specs directory but the common specs are in the specs directory of the engine plugin (e.g. vendor/plugin/engine/specs) Just wondering where I would be looking to change configuration so that autotest will also look for the specs in the engine directory?

Hi Just a quick question .... what backward versions of Rails will the 1.1.0 versions of RSpec and Spec::Rails support? I think I maybe under the (incorrect) impression that I had to go to Rails 2.0 for 1.1.0 Cheers Shane Shane Mingins ELC Technologies (TM) 1921 State Street Santa Barbara, CA 93101 Phone: +64 4 568 6684 Mobile: +64 21 435 586 Email: smingins at elctech.com AIM:

Hi In a controller I have method that is accessed via an AJAX call and will conditionally do: render :nothing => true to test the condition hitting this line I was hoping to do something like: response.should render_template(:nothing) How should I test this behaviour? Cheers Shane

Hi We have specs in our rails project other than model/view/controller .. we have interests and lib ... using use_transactional_fixtures = true seems fine in a spec in the m/ v/c and interests directories but not in lib Just wondered if anyone had any quick thoughts as to why that may be???

Hi Just something that I have been finding very helpful sometimes when I am stuck with "how could I test this?" moments is looking at the Rails test suite. At the moment I am working on testing our custom error_messages_for methods and I have found looking at how the Rails tests in active_record_helper work helpful :-) So just thought I''d share that. Have

hello spec''ers, i''m in the hunt for guides on testing controllers with rspec, would you guys recommend any? thanks Oliver -- Oliver Azevedo Barnes oli.azevedo.barnes at gmail.com +55 11 9768 0193 http://www.linkedin.com/in/oliverbarnes http://workingwithrails.com/person/4704-oliver-barnes

Hi We are looking at moving a project over from 1.05 to 1.08 but have a problem with some of our helper specs They work fine in 1.05 but error in 1.08 and it is the calls to route helper methods that seems to be the problem. I did some playing around .. because the code being tested is reasonably large etc ... but this sample (using the peepcode app) seems to boil down the problem

Hi Has anyone mocked a call like the following for backgroundrb? MiddleMan.new_worker(:class => :admin_email_worker, :args => params [:email]) I cannot seem to find the correct manner to do it. Would have liked to be able to do MiddleMan.should_receive (:new_worker).with(:class => :admin_email_worker, :args => {"body" => "my message"}) Cheers Shane

Trying to spec the following but don''t know if I''m using the right matcher. How do I spec? Plz, sugar on tops.

Hi All So I am a first-time caller ;-) ... and have been trying to apply RSpec to the depot example in Dave Thomas'' book as I build the application. I am having a problem testing the admin controller create method and cannot quite see where I am going wrong so was hoping for a pointer :-) My spec looks like: describe AdminController do before(:each) do @product =

Hi Is stubbing a call to super possible? I am testing a protected method called authorized in a Rails controller ... part of the logic flow calls super which calls the method authorized in the application controller. As I am focused on the logic of the method in the controller I am testing I just wish to stub the value returned in the super. Is this at all possible? Cheers Shane

Hi I hope this is not OT. I''m training my replacement at work to do BDD Rails development. He''s done a CS/maths degree but has no professional programming experience, so he''s never NOT done a project without BDD. In a way I am jealous of his unspoilt situation :) I''ve gone about things this way: * first teach him some Ruby (he did mainly Java at

Trying to set up a Rails 3 project with RSpec and Autotest. I followed these steps exactly: http://gist.github.com/365816 But when I start up autotest, I get: $ autotest loading autotest/rails style: Rails instead of: $ autotest loading autotest/rails_rspec2 style: RailsRspec2 And autotest doesn''t seem to do anything. Any idea what''s happening? I''m using Ruby

Hi all, I tried testing with Rspec for first time, following a tutorial. "rspec spec/" works fine but when I try ''autotest'' it gives me the error message below. I also made a gist about it: https://gist.github.com/779265 It seems like a redgreen or ZenTest error. I''m using Ubuntu10, Rails3, Ruby 1.9 and RVM. Any help is appriciated, thanks in advance, gezope

I believe for rails projects you can put rspec''s code repos into vendor/plugins, and autotest will automatically use the rspec binary in that directory, and not the gem installed. Is there an easy way to do this for non-rails projects? There are a few advancements on trunk which I would like to take advantage of. Tips welcome ; ). Scott Taylor

Just upgraded to latest rails and rspec builds and my autotest doesnt work undefined method `before'' for Spec::Rails::DSL::RailsExample:Class (NoMethodError) Here''s the full trace: http://pastie.caboo.se/112754 Any ideas? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

hi list - should it be possible to use autotest to continuously run specs for a non-rails project? when i execute autotest in the base directory of my project, it complains that it cannot load rspec_autotest, however looking at rspec_autotest[1] and rspec_rails_autotest.rb, it appears as though both are geared towards rails (perhaps even rspec on rails). cheers, jean-pierre [1]

If you want to use rspec-0.9.2 with autotest (ZenTest-3.5.2), you''ll want to read this blog: http://blog.davidchelimsky.net/articles/2007/05/01/rspec-0-9-1-and-autotest-zentest-3-5-2 Enjoy! David
