Specifing methods in a steps_for block
Hey list,
I''m refactoring some much-used functionality into a common_steps step
group. Methods like this are in there:
steps_for :common do
Given "a number of existing $types?" do |type|
@initial_item_count = type.singularize.classify.constantize.count
end
When "the user adds an invalid $type" do |type|

BDDish rspecish question
Hey list,
This is a kinda quirky question for this list, but I do think it
belongs here. I''m currently writing an app with users with different
roles. Roles are sequentially so to speak, so role 2 can do everything
role 1 can, and so on.
If I truly test my whole app, I should test all behaviour for each
role, I guess. I could solve that by doing some clever shared steps

new home for the rspec website
Hi all,
We''ve moved the rspec website to http://rspec.info. We want
http://rspec.org, of course, but someone is squatting on and has yet
to respond to my email :(
The 1.1.0 docs are there. The 1.0.8 docs are still at
http://rspec.rubyforge.org for the time being. We''ll be archiving them
at the new site soon.
This new site is hosted on our shiny new sponsored slice at Engine

local variables in partials lead to NameError
I know I must be doing something dumb, but I can''t seem to send a
local variable to my partial. The below code leads to the following
error:
NameError in Residential_listings#new
undefined local variable or method `foo'' for #<ActionView::Base:

I am trying to call the variable ''foo'' in a partial called

[Cucumber] Cucumber and acts_as_xapian
Hey list,
Anyone have experience with acts_as_xapian and Cucumber? I''m
struggling with updating xapian''s index, to actually "find" fluff
that has been indexed..
In a scenario, I''m adding a bunch of articles, and in the actual
search step, I run:
When "I search for \"$query\"" do |query|

Why has the --color gone from my life?
Hi all,
Running on OSX 10.5.3, Latest Rspec trunk, Rspec rails trunk, latest
autotest gem and rails 2.1
I''ve lost my colour output in autotest.
rake spec gives colour output, but autotest gives me black and white.
It was working a little bit before, I think I upgraded to the latest
versions of everything to get all the textmate snippets talking and being
friendly to one another again

[Cucumber] Struggling with "multiple step definitions"
Hey gang,
I find myself struggling with multiple step definitions in cucumber
all the time. I regularly test the contents of my flash[:notice] in
steps, since I think that''s part of the behaviour of the app. So,
while implementing a new feature, I ran into the following error:

Can cucumber/webrat set a value on a hidden field
I am using auto_complete to provide a list of persons from which the
user can select one. On selection from the auto_complete list, a hidden
field is updated with the id of the selected person. This is all wrapped
in a form, that then can be submitted by the user (by clicking the
provided submit button). On submission, the person (based on the id in
the hidden field) is added to a group.

backgroundrb script crashing on startup
Everything works fine on my development box (Ubuntu 7.10, Ruby 1.8.6)
but on my server (Fedora Core 6, Ruby 1.8.5) when I run
script/backgroundrb start, the process fails to start.
This is with Rails 2.0.2 frozen in the app, and I have the most recent
version of the plugin (r297). Is Ruby 1.8.6 a requirement for
backgroundrb now? I can''t figure any other reason it would fail...

mock out render call in helper
Hello,
Does someone know where I can hook in to mock out a render call from
a helper in Rails? I know I can do this in view specs with the
following
@controller.template.stub!(:render)
but template doesn''t seem to be attached to @controller in a helper
context. Thanks.

Is it still possible to use should_have_rjs
Hi
I''ve come back to a Rails project after about a month doing other
work, and there''s a lot of changes. I was on the 0.7 branch before
and I''ve upgraded to RSpec 1.0.5. I used the spec translator, fixed
the cases where it barfed on unusual line contents, and all my model
and controller specs now pass. But I''m getting 53 failures on my view

link_to_function or button_to_function memory usage
I have an full ajax app doing crud operations for contact info for one
section. I was using ajax calls to edit and cancel and also to add a
contact. I am implementing a button_to_function instead of doing an
ajax call to just edit/add/or cancel a contact. I am running into a
memory issue using the button_to_function or link_to_function.
I have this:

Object Task at episode 74 of railscasts
Hi.
In the episode 74 <http://railscasts.com/episodes/74>, Ryan has a model
"project" that can have many "tasks", and he uses link_to_function to
dynamically add a field in the form for a new Task.
In order to do that he created a helper called add_task_link. The code of
the method is:
# projects_helper.rb
def add_task_link(name)
link_to_function name do |page|

expect_render(...).and_return(''x'')
Hi,
I''m trying to spec a controller method which renders some rjs as part
of a render :update block. The problem I''m having is that stub_render
or expect_render don''t seem to allow and_return to work.
The controller method does:
if @thing.save
render :update do |page|
page.insert_html :bottom,
