Hi, I''m posting this stack trace again because it keeps popping up, seemingly as the ''default error'' when something is wrong with my story code; for instance, I got it when I referenced a variable in my ''Given'' that I had forgotten to pass into the block. Now I''m getting it when I attempt to post to a login action: And ''user is

Hi, I''m trying to get up and running with StoryRunner. I have a story that looks something like the following, but the call to mock_model produces the exception listed below. Am I just misunderstanding the concept? Are mocks not meant to be used in stories like this? Or is this a bug? Changing @user to be an actual AR object makes things run without error. ENV["RAILS_ENV"] =

Hey, we''re currently using shoulda (http://dev.thoughtbot.com/ shoulda/) on a project and I saw some things that would be really nice to see in rspec, namely the should_ methods, and especially the should_be_restful method. Do these go against the rspec goals at all? Or could an ambitious programmer go to town implementing these for rspec_on_rails? Nathan Sutton fowlduck at

How can I safely mock a singleton without the mocked method living on outside the scope of the test method? I''ve run into this problem with mocking methods on globals (gasp!) in the past by doing something like def mock_my_global original = $my_global $my_global.expects(:foo).returns(''bar'') yield $my_global = original end Is there something similar I

Hi all, I''m trying to run a Story Runner integration test that uploads a file through Attachment-fu. I''ve tried various ways of specifying the file data, from custom mocks: class MockFile < Struct.new (:original_filename, :read, :content_type); end fdata = MockFile.new "test_upload.txt", "Test Upload", "text/plain" to

We''ve been working with the ParameterMatchers (so cool!) but I don''t see a way to insure a method is called with no arguments. I imagined something like: user = mock(''User'') user.expects(:friends).with(nothing) Anyone run into this?

Hi, Is there or could there be any way to test that a method calls "super"? Thanks -- Jonathan Leighton, Web Developer http://jonathanleighton.com/

I have some embedded tables that form different sections of a view. I find that I use the same look for certain ones which means I have to duplicate the same exact table for each section that''s similar. Is there a way to do.. hmm.. well.. kind of like what a layout does using @content_for_layout, but for a partial. Does that make any sense whatsoever? :) OK so here''s some

It would be good to be able to set the return value to be the same as the return value of the block. I am trying to test opening a file in a block and reading from it. It would be nice to use code like this: object.stubs(:open).with("/path/to/file", "r").yields( stub(:read => "The file contents") ).returns(from_block) Which would make open() take the return

Hi, I have installed Rails 3 on my local machine. Let''s say I wan''t to create a new project but in version 2.3.5, can I do that?

Hi, I am following the guide here: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/contributing_to_ruby_on_rails.html I have an ubuntu 11.04 VM setup, installed rvm, and ruby (ruby 1.8.7 (2011-06-30 patchlevel 352) [x86_64-linux]).

Hello, Is there some Rails 3.0.6 ETA? I am asking because there are some security holes in Rails 3.0.3, which are currently available in Fedora 15. So is it right time to update Rails to 3.0.5 or is it worth of waiting for 3.0.6? Vit -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.

I''ve had a right fun few days at work trying to figure out why our Rails app (which isn''t under very heavy load) kept eating memory and bringing our server to our knees. Eventually I traced it to send_file (which was in a way a relief as it wasn''t down to my coding ;) -- every time a user started downloading, the memory consumed by the app would jump, and

So, now that we''re using Mongrel and not the horrid FCGI, do I really need these files in my Rails apps: dispatch.fcgi dispatch.cgi .htaccess ?? The .htaccess file has rules for rewriting that look FCGI based. For Mongrel, I do my Apache re-writing in my config file, right? is there a reason to include these files at this point? Hunter

Hello, how can I execute some code after each step of a story. Is there some kind of listener documentated. Thank you in advance, Armin

Hi. Myself and a anti-Micro$oft companion tried to get NT domain logons working yesterday and seem pretty close, but not quite. Samba is 1.9.18alpha3, server is an Ultra-2 running SunOS 5.5.1. Encrypted passwords seem to be working, a la smbclient and mostly from NT, "mostly" because it *seemed* to be working but we did have some problems with home directories in smbpasswd changing

Hi all, I think CSFR protection broke in rails 2.3.11. As in: it''s turned off now. I tried this in rails 2.3.10 and in 2.3.11 and 2.3.11 seems broken. >rails csrftest >cd csrftest >script/generate scaffold post title:string >rake db:migrate now I visit /posts/new in my browser, use firebug to delete or change the authenticity token, and submit the form. rails 2.3.11: all

If so, shouldn''t it be documented in the Rails API? Or is there a better way to allow class reloading of my files under lib. I mean, I know about config.autoload_paths, but I want to be explicit about my requires. I just want to be able to reload then on each request when I''m working on them. require_dependency seems to do just that but I''m worried since it is not

Hello! At first I posted this in rubyonrails-talk, but no one there was able to tell me if this is a bug or not (I got only suggestion for workaround). As this looks like 3.1 regression that breaks existing 3.0.10 code I decided to post this here in addition. I''ve upgraded to Rails 3.1 (from 3.0.10), ran my test suite and found this issue: class Trade < ActiveRecord::Base

I am the sysadmin in an office with an overabundance of Win95 machines and a few NT 4.0 workstations. All installs went relatively easy for logon scripts, wins, etc. I have run into a semi-serious problem with 2 of the 3 NT workstations. (All running the same service pack - 1). When trying to make a share from one of the 2 remaining workstations, I will recevie an error message saying that:
