I am a bit confused about the different purpose of each. I think the .gitignore file belongs in the root of my project and is project specific, but that also seems to be the reason for the .git/ info/exclude file what happens if they conflict? which one wins. What is standard practice? My exclude file looks like this # git-ls-files --others --exclude-from=.git/info/exclude log/*.log tmp/**/*

I have my application happily generating UUID primary keys using the uuidtools gem. But the auto-generated specifications created by "script/generate rspec_scaffold...", etc, assume that one is using a sequential integer primary key. For those who have hit this same issue, is it just a matter of rewriting the auto-generated specifications to take this into account, or does one have to

Hello everybody, Being a new user of RoR, i'm experiencing a problem using Rspec, it should end without errors but I still get this result: PS C:\RubyTools\rubygems-2.2.2\rails_projects\sample_app> rspec spec Called from: C:/RailsInstaller/Ruby2.0.0/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/actionpack-3.2.0/lib/action_dispatch/middleware/session/abstract_store.rb:28:in `initialize'.

Hello, I have a controller action that raises a RecordNotFound exception if you''re not allowed to see something. In my global application controller (application.rb), I catch these and render the 404 template. But when I run cucumber (using webrat), it''s getting the full stacktrace (the step blows up). Any ideas why? I have consider_all_requests_local turned off in my test.rb.

It doesn''t seem like my controller specs are calling my middleware on requests. Has anyone figured out a good way to test middlware with rspec? I''m thinking something like rails'' rails/actionpack/test/controller/session/mem_cache_store_test.rb but with rspec... any thoughts? Thanks!

I''ve got a love-hate relationship with script/generate rspec_scaffold If you are using non-nested controllers/resources it''s great. I love the spec skeletons it generates. But I find myself doing this, where Y is and existing set of model/controller ... representing a resource: 1) script/generate rspec_scaffold x .... At this point rake spec passes. 2) edit config/routes.rb

I have an odd problem. I got controllers in a namespace and controllers outside of the namespace. For example, I have a PagesController and a Admin::PagesController. When I run rspec from the top, tests pass and I get the following warning: spec/controllers/admin/pages_controller_spec.rb:4: warning: toplevel constant PagesController referenced by Admin::PagesController This makes no sense. I do

Hello, I''m doing namespace routing based on subdomain, rather than path, so that http://admin.example.com/pages leads to app/controllers/admin/ pages_controller.rb. Cucumber is following this fine, but RSpec is complaining that the requested route doesn''t exist even though "rake routes" shows the route. When I add a standard namespace below the "scope :admin"

I have following resource defined in my config/routes.rb (the model name is contrived) map.resources :foo_items, :as => :foo that I originally generated with rspec_scaffold: ruby script/generate rspec_scaffold foo_item but when I use the :as attribute in resources to make the URI path be ''/foo'' instead of ''/foo_items'' the default/generated controller

We had an after(:each) callback that looked like this: PurchaseOrder.find(:all).each {|po| DraftInvoice.find_all_by_po_number(po.po_number).each {|di| di.destroy}} which we were hoping would reset some purchase order data in a certain way. However, because we have "self.use_transactional_fixtures = true" set in test_helper.rb, this code was never getting committed. So, I just

I''m working on a new rails project that will have a very, very large database. Initial insert will be in the hundreds of thousands of records. The database we are getting the information from is Microsoft SQL based, and we have access to tab delimited update files daily. We''re trying to write import scripts and use a well designed database on our end. The data they are

Dear list, In the app we are making we have a rout something like this: map.resources :projects do |projects| projects.resources :pages, :controller =>"Wiki::Pages", :path_prefix => "/projects/:project_id/ wiki", :name_prefix => "project_wiki_" end But I can''t get RSpec(I''m very new to it) to accept this. It keeps throwing errors:

First of all hi, I''m new to the list, and rather new to rspec as will probably show in myquestion. I have tried installing rspec and rspec_on_rails as plugs both using "script/install" and "piston import" commands using the "current release install instructions" here [1]. However, there doesn''t seem to be any mention of the rspec_resource

I use rspec_scaffold to generate a part of examples as below: it "should expose a newly created awarding_body as @awarding_body" do AwardingBody.should_receive(:new).with({''these'' => ''params''}).and_return(mock_awarding_body(:save => true)) post :create, :awarding_body => {:these => ''params''}

So after I updated all my gems, I started getting: /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.4/lib/active_support/ dependencies.rb:105:in `const_missing'': uninitialized constant Test::Unit::TestResult::TestResultFailureSupport (NameError) from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/test-unit-2.0.3/lib/test/unit/ testresult.rb:28 from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in

I just discovered James Golick''s resource_controller plugin http://jamesgolick.com/resource_controller after spending another stretch of boredom making the changes to nest yet another rails resource controller. I''d actually slowed down this time to think about what I was doing in hopes of automating the task. I''ve tended to use script/generate rspec_scaffold to get

rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production rake aborted! uninitialized constant User::Authentication The preceding I encounter when attempting to migrate to the production database. My google powers have escaped me. Everywhere says Restful Authentication is missing in the production server. However, to validate this, I attempted this on the same server as the development, which works. So, what

I''ve been reading through the Rspec book to see if I missed any tricks, and the discussion of before block use for context setup in sec 12.6 struck me as interesting and something I had a knee-jerk reaction to. I think that when you are using nested examples to describe a context change it is bad practice to allow any example within that group to run outside of that context. This could

Recently as a result of using Git I''ve noticed a number of inconsistencies in the RSpec codebase with respect to whitespace (mixed line endings, mixed use of spaces and tabs for indentation, and trailing whitespace at the end of lines). I never would have noticed, but Git produces nice colorized diff output which highlights these kinds of inconsistencies. I wanted to ask if the
