similar to: stub! and null_object

Given that RSpec has the following methods to create test doubles ... double(:my_test_double) mock(:my_mock_object) stub(:my_stub) Is there a way to/ plans to introduce a similar syntax for null objects? null_object(:my_null_object) Instead of mock(:bar, :is_null_object => true) or mock(:foo).as_null_object I think this would be cleaner, what do you think?

Please understand in the following that I am making relatively minor changes to legacy (non-TDD/BDD) code in Substruct and don''t have the time to refactor nicely right now. I''m just trying to get past the untested/un-speced cruft quickly to write the spec for my new code, so I''m looking for expediency over prettiness. I''m specifying before( :each ) do

Hi, My application relies on request.domain for doing its job. The problem I am encountering, is that when running tests, request.domain returns "test.host", how can I change that so that it returns "mysite.com"? Thanks in advance. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I''m a rspec newbie. I''m having trouble with rspec''ing a simple controller to Create a record. I''ve tried a couple of approaches and still get errors: Mock ''remedy'' expected :save! with (any args) once, but received it 0 times -or- Mock ''Remedy'' received unexpected message :save with (no args). Here are my two

Hi I am using Mongoid. In Mongoid while saving a record we typically give like in the controller @post.safely.save For a model class Post I am writing rspecs for my controller and want to mock the model. So what I am doing is let(:post) { mock_model(Post).as_null_object } before(:each) do Post.stub(:new).and_return(post) end it "creates new post"

Mocha''s mock/stub framework has the ability to stub all methods on a mock given. Does RSpec''s mocking framework have this ability? And if not, is there some reason it shouldn''t be implemeneted? Regards, Scott

I''ve found myself mocking out a published api in my set-up method. This has led to some contexts having a large set-up and empty specifications. As the mocks get auto-verified, the specification blocks have nothing to do but serve as documentation. Does this sound bad? Chris

I''m developing a rails application. I have an Order model that has_many OrderItems. I mocked the OrderItem model in my Order specs using mock_model. I thought I should focus my specs on each model and always mock associated models. In my Order model I need a way to merge OrderItems which have the same cost and same product_id. That I can spec. The other thing this merge helper

RSpecrs, I''ve been running into some trouble lately when passing mock objects into rich views. Either I have to obscure my specs by stubbing every method the view would call on my object, or I have to resort to trickery like stubbing ActionController#render, which is also less than ideal. The solution I''ve some up with is a variant on the :null_object option that can be passed

I am generating a report containing several R scripts in the appendix. Is there any way to "beautify" the R source codes in microsoft word, similar to what we see in tinn-R ? Thanks _________________________________________________________________ [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I find myself doing this kind of thing a lot in Controller Specs: @vacancy = mock_model(Vacancy) @vacancy.stub!(:reference) @vacancy.stub!(:title) @vacancy.stub!(:created_at) @vacancy.stub!(:updated_at) @vacancy.stub!(:body) @vacancy.stub!(:contract) @vacancy.stub!(:location) @vacancy.stub!(:salary) @vacancy.stub!(:benefits)

Hi all, I am working on a project in Rails for my senior seminar class. I am fairly new to Rails but I have done a major project, so I know a little. The one thing I cannot find however is a way to make the html code that is output look any cleaner. So, I was wondering if there was a function/library/extension that worked like PHP beautify. Thanks for your input in this matter. I am sure I will

Hi, For example, the y axis shows "0 500000 1500000". Is there any way to beautify the tick labels to get 0 5 10 15, and at the top of y-axis "x10^5" (superscript 5) ? My plots all have different ylim, how to perform the beautification automatically ? Thanks Stanley [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all, Initially I thought this was a bug in the built-in mocking framework(and it still may be), but I better hash it out on the mailing list before I file/reopen the ticket: http://rspec.lighthouseapp.com/projects/5645/tickets/478-mocks-on-constants#ticket-478-6 I thought my example illustrated my problem, but obviously I was passing the wrong arguments to the mock. I revised my example to

Hi all, I sent a message earlier, so forgive me if you have already read this (I got some cryptic message in German about how my e-mail was not read?). Anyway, I was just wondering if there was any way to format the html that is output using <%= @content_for_layout %> I want to use something like the PHP Beautify. I guess I could write my own, but I was hoping that Rails already had

Hi, I was just trying to figure out how to beautify the output of my bwplot-output. Altogether I figured most of the things out on my own. The one thing which puzzles me though are the symbols for the outliers. I can easily change the form of the median symbol by using "pch" but I don't know how to do this for outliers. Obviously the "outpch" of the

I want to use ActiveResource in my app. Instead of hitting server though, I want it to load from a file when I call find. Any clue how I do that? Pat

Hi I can''t get heckle working. In fact, I''ve built an example so simple that it either shows a bug, or I am being really, REALLY stupid. Heckle does not appear to support RSpec directly, so I''m trying to use spec --heckle (RSpec trunk as of 10 mins ago, Heckle 1.4.1). I''ve constructed this pair of sample files: 18> ~/Desktop/heckle_test % cat

What is the correct way to mock out the errors on a Rails model? I''m assuming i need to say @mock_thing = mock_model(Thing) @mock_thing_errors = mock("errors") @mock_thing_errors.should_receive(:full_messages).and_return("An error") @mock_thing.should_receive(:errors).and_return(@mock_thing_errors) Just wanted to check the best practice on this kind of thing and how
