Hi, by switching to MySQL from SQLite, it fixed the problem. I ran rdebug on it and it is trying to call I ActiveRecord::Base.connection.begin_db_transaction. from ActiveRecordSafetyListener.scenario_started. I don''t think SQLLite likes transactions.

Hi, Just installed 0.9.4 (from 0.8 series) and ran the spec translator. It messed up specs that had the should include() where the argument to include is a string (using no parens for the arg) IOW, given: context "OldSchool" do class OldSchool attr_accessor collection def initialize @collection = [] end def add_new(item)

MasterView is a rails-optimized (x)html friendly template engine plugin that provides another option to the existing rails view templates (rhtml and rxml). The main idea is to provide a template engine that would provide all the power of layouts, partials, and rails helpers but still be editable/styleable in a WYSIWYG editor. It was also a major goal that the syntax of these attribute directives

I''m taking my first fledgling steps driving a new ruby (non-rails) project with BDD. I''ve got a (test) story working. However, when I run the story in TextMate (via command-r), the output is plain text. See: http://skitch.com/georgeanderson/8grg/run-examples How do I get the output to look pretty (formatted)? rspec-1.1.3 OS X 10.5.2 TextMate v1.5.7 (1455) Thanks, /g --

Hi - I have 3 fileds a user can fill out. They can fill out 2 of them or just one of them, for example. fill out these 2 fields: Field1 and Field2 Or fill out this field: Field3 In my model how do I use validates_presence_of for Field1 and Field2 or just Field3. I want to do something like this: validates_presence_of Field1, Field2 OR validates_presence_of Field3 So the user can fill out

Hi, I''ve been following this thread and I can get the example stories to run with the ruby command. But I''ve been unable to get the example from http://blog.davidchelimsky.net/articles/2007/10/25/plain-text-stories-part-iii to run with all.rb ruby stories/all.rb /home/edh/story/stories/additions/steps/addition_steps.rb:2: undefined method `steps_for'' for main:Object

HI, After I upgraded to RSpec 1.1.4 (from git), my stories all failed. I was using Webrat and the first thing I noticed was the ''visits'' method was gone. I then backtracked to just using ''get'' and got the same undefined method exception. I confirmed it was still working in 1.1.3 Eventually, I got it to work doing this: in my first Given: @app =

Hi, I''ve been reading with interest the threads trying to integrate Mocha and Stubba with RSpec. So far, I''ve made the two changes in spec_helper.rb suggested, but discovered another one that neither of the archives mentions: If you use traditional mocking: object = mock or the stub shortcut : object = stub(:method => :result), you run into namespace conflicts with

Hi all, I''m fairly new to rails and ruby, but I''ve come across an interesting glitch and I''m not sure whether I''ve just got something wrong with my assumptions or if it really is an error in the underlying framework... I''ve created a bare-bones set of tests to show you where the problem is. What follows are the steps I went through to reproduce the

This updates Ruby to 1.8.6 patch level 111 (lots of bug fixes since 1.8.6 was released). It also updates most of the included extensions to their latest versions (see the change log). The final release won''t happen until after RubyGems 0.9.5 is released (which should be any day now) because we want the latest RubyGems version to be included. However, we''re putting out this

Hi, After I upgraded RSpec from 0.7.4 to 0.7.5, first the gem, then the Rails plugin, I noticed that when I ran my spec/models, the fixtures were overwriting the data in the development environment DB, not the test one. The test environment was being used prior to the upgrade. I am using SQLite3 and an in-memory db for the test environment. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ed -- Ed

I''ve run into another functional testing issue. Odds are I''m taking the wrong approach, so I''m back to this list again in the hopes of finding the true path. with assert_tag, I''d like to check the values of various table cells and ensure that the proper values are placed in the appropriate places. I written some tests that make good sense to me, and in

Hi everyone. I can''t get the above(subject line) combination to work. If I use a standard sqlite3 file db for the test db, and spec_server all the specs on my models pass. If I use an in-memory db for the test db, script/spec w/o spec_server, they all pass. But if I use in-memory and spec_server I get the following error: 1) ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in ''User should be

assert_tag smells bad. Hpricot smells nice (apricotty!).

I''m using the date_select and datetime_select helpers in my view, and they return Date classes from the params hash. But how do I work with Date classes, they don''t print human readable dates or times, Time classes work well I can use strftime("%H:%M") to print to the screen. Is it possible to convert a Date to a Time, Ive been tinkering in irb but have got

I''ve spent all day digging through the rails api and postgres-pr on this, I think it''s time to ask the list. Postgres stores a Date in YYYY-MM-DD format. My users want the dates in MM/DD/YYYY format. Sure, I could explicitly convert it on the app level every place where a date is displayed, but that seemed like a DRY violation. I thought I''d be clever and simply

I''m wondering what''s the difference between stub and message expectation with any_number_of_times, for example: myMock = mock("mymock") myMock.stub!(:is_a?).with(MyClass).and_return(false) and myMock = mock("mymock") myMock.should_receive(:is_a?).with(MyClass).any_number_of_times.and_return(false) because is_a? may not be called at all, it just like a

I am pleased to announce the immediate release of Radius 0.5.0. Radius is a small, but powerful tag-based template language for Ruby inspired by the template languages used in MovableType <www.movabletype.org> and TextPattern <www.textpattern.com>. It uses tags similar to XML, but can be used to generate any form of plain text (HTML, e-mail, etc...). This release is much more feature
