One of my controllers directly renders some JSON output that I would like to test with RSpec. For that I use ''response.should have_text("foobar")'' in my spec file, but that leads to a Failure/Error: response.should have_text("enim") undefined method `has_text?'' for #<ActionController::TestResponse: 0xb6736944> I read here somewhere that webrat

Hello, I''m scheduled to give a rspec brown bag this Wednesday (11/22) for my company (Pivotal Computer Systems, http://www.pivotalsf.com). I did see Dave Astel''s talk as well as several of my coworkers. The developers at my workplace are experienced Agile developers. What would be some good things to focus on for this brown bag? Are there slides to presentations that would be

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

Hey all - The trunk currently supports three types of mocking/stubbing: Mock Objects (created dynamically at runtime) Partial Mocking of methods on existing classes Stubbing of methods on existing objects or classes The main difference between Partial Mocking and Stubbing is that Stubs don''t verify. I''m wondering if we really need the stubbing facility at all, given that we

When I run rake test:units I get this error: 292 tests, 350 assertions, 2 failures, 13 errors rake aborted!

Hello, While reading Dan North''s BDD tutorial <http://dannorth.net/introducing-bdd>, I tried to implement his ATM example as spec stubs. When I first implemented it creating a context for each of his scenarios, I noticed that there is duplication and a combinatorial explosion of the specs. I attached the full files to this email. For brevity, I will use scenario 1 in the body of

I''d like to start gathering information/debating on the advantages/disadvantages of using it "should ..." vs other techniques. Dan North explained why we should use should: http://dannorth.net/introducing-bdd/ I used to use it "should ..." for the projects I was on, until I was challenged by a fellow developer who started using it with an active voice. For example

I added cucumber to my rails project using the following commands: git submodule add git://github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber.git \ vendor/plugins/cucumber ruby script/generate cucumber git submodule add git://github.com/brynary/webrat.git \ vendor/plugins/webrat git submodule add git://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec.git \ vendor/plugins/rspec git submodule add

I''m using Shoulda. After copying the code here.... .... http://joshuaclayton.github.com/code/2009/07/14/should-act-as-list.html.... into my test_helper file so I can test acts_as_list, I came across issues. For one I realized I had to get rid of the _ between the "should" and "have" in past cases, but here, I get this error when I run my unit test:

I created a button_to_remote function that I use to call :toggle_blind visual_effect :toggle_blind, ''div_id'' It works great on Safari, Opera, IE, but in firefox the button does nothing.

Hey guys, We developed this plugin while writing my first real set of RSpec stories. It''s still missing a lot of functionality, but it''s useful to us as is, so I''m shipping 0.1.0.

I was trying out RSpec framework in a project and got stopped doing the unit test of a model. In particular, doing the test for the associations and the ActiveRecord validations. I started writing the validations but my tests didn''t look DRY at all. Before refactoring the tests checked out and look for other people solutions. I found out shoulda-matchers and Shoulda (which if I

This is related to Selenium/Watir usage along side webrat in story testing. MHS_Testing and Rspec-ui provide some great help for testing through frameworks like Selenium/Watir. But there is something missing, Webrat has changed the landscape somewhat with Acceptance Tests/Story Driven development. Now I have a choice: 1. Tests and rails process run as one test process (Webrat) 2. Use

As I work with Rails TestUnit tests I am reconsidering how to use cucumber features. It seems to me that it might be best to have a coherent view of how to arrange my test suites before I get much further into this. Now, so far I have considered three possibilities: 1. Use features exclusively. Create a feature file for each model, one for each controller and possibly an additional one for
