I have a form ... html ..... <% form_for @person do |f| %> ... html ..... <%= f.text_field :last_name %> ... html ..... <% end %> When last_name field of @person doesn''t contains french special symbols like ''é'', all characters are displayed in the input control (f.text_field :last_name ).

When I run rake test:units I get this error: 292 tests, 350 assertions, 2 failures, 13 errors rake aborted! Command failed with status (1): [/usr/local/bin/ruby -I"lib:test" "/ usr/loc...] This error just showed up yesterday --- I have no idea how I caused it. Here is my gem list in case that helps: actionmailer (2.3.2, 2.2.2) actionpack (2.3.2, 2.2.2) activerecord (2.3.2, 2.2.2)

I wanted to play music in VLC for Windows off a network SMB share. [*] Music's on \\red\trollop\music\ so I put that into VLC and it didn't like it. So I started "wine explorer" from the command line and went to "Connect network drive ..." and it came up with a dialogue box: "No network" - that's all. Is this actually supposed to work properly, or is

I like Shoulda. Sometimes I like plain old Test::Unit. Cucumber gives me a different thought process. I''d just like to hear some thoughts on why RSpec? What does it buy me that I can''t get with Shoulda? I just can''t seem to think in RSpec. Where is there a good example of RSpec tests that will help me grasp the right path? Thanks! -- Amos King

Hi! I''m observing some problems using gem inside Rails. My understanding is that after following sequence in irb: $ irb irb(main):001:0> require ''rubygems'' => true irb(main):002:0> require ''active_record'' => true irb(main):003:0> gem ''acts_as_taggable'' => true I should have access to acts_as_tagable mixins, like:

First off, I love unicorn. Thanks to all who have worked on it. For the first time, I am trying to run a rails 2.3 app with unicorn. I don''t understand what is not set correctly. I have rails 2.3.8 and dependencies installed. I am sure it is something simple.... See output below. Much thanks! Matt config/environment.rb ... RAILS_GEM_VERSION = ''2.3.8'' unless defined?

Hi There!

Forgive the long post, just looking for input/advice/alternate opinions.. Like many I think that going through the exercise of framing user requests in Cucumber terms(Features, Scenarios..) really helps facilitate necessary conversations and avoid time wasted implementing the wrong thing(e.g. as a requirement/specification tool). However, I''m a bit confused when it comes to

I vote for spec''ing. Anybody else?

I'm trying to implement a connection between two processes using a simple socket mechanism. The messages are rather long object stored as JSON. R is crashing with a segmentation fault when I try to read my test message (which is 5305 bytes long). I first send the length in bytes and then I send the actual message. Here is my R code: library(jsonlite) library(futile.logger)

I''m trying to spec a view but haven''t done much view specing. This view render different partials depending on authentication of the user: annon, admin, player So I I''ll write if conditionals in the view with the partials it "should render signup propaganda for annon users trying to view games" do render "/games/index.rhtml"

I''m trying to stub(!) the Kernel.` (backquote) method and I''m having confusing (to me) results. Here''s the method I''m spec''ing: class Barcode ... def raw_barcodes self.make_temporary_copy `OcrBarcode #{self.temp_file_path}` end ... end And this is my (newbish) attempt at the spec: describe "Calling @barcode.raw_barcodes" do

I finally plunked down for the beta RSpec bundle and I''m working through the initial example. Although I''m a fairly experienced RSpec user, I''m stlll learning new tricks. Anyway, I''m going though the mastermind example, and everything is going well, except that I decided to also try out the Textmate bundle for Cucumber. I decided to use Ben Mabey''s

I am using Cucumber 0.2.3 and am having problems running a single feature. In particular, the cucumber Textmate bundle was not working so I traced it back and discovered that I could not run single files or features from the command line either. My setup has the following line in cucumber.yml default: -r features/support/env.rb -r features/support/plain.rb -r features/steps

I''m just starting on BDD. I installed the gems for webrats and cucumber. I also ran the following in the Ruby shell: >rake gems:install RAILS_EN=test >script/generate cucumber These commands seemed to create the expected features and lib folders in my project. I''m using the eclipse framework with Aptana and RadRails as my IDE. However, when I run: >cucumber features

I have a step definition like this: Then "the account should be created" do account = Account.find_by_name("my shiny new account") p account.class account.should_not be_blank end When running this step, I got the error message: Account(id: integer, name: string, state: string, next_renewal_at: date, created_at: datetime, updated_at: datetime, full_domain: string,

Thanks for the link.? Somehow the information about how to join the bugzilla site was not available at bugzilla and buried in the CRAN web site instructions on reporting bugs (which pointed me at Bugzilla and not the page you showed me). The example is pretty minimal.? I left the tracing statements (flog.trace()) and the toJSON, fromJSON in as I thought they might provide some context for

Dear Rich, I think that it's generally a bad idea to give statistical (as opposed to simply technical) advice by email without knowing the context of the research. I think that you'd do well to seek help from a statistician, and not just do what I suggest below. Interpolating the data only makes sense if there's no random component to the response (mag in your data). Otherwise, it

Hi, Not sure if this is the right place for general questions on BDD style, but here goes... I have a class which behaves almost like a big function - you always instantiate it with a bunch of args, and call one of a couple of methods to get the results back. BDD style seems to like a separate describe block for each instantiation of the class under test. In this case that would mean a
