similar to: Can I construct the controller myself in a controller spec?

Im trying to write a controller spec, but when I run it I get an error like the one below. I found Bug6707 (http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/rspec-devel/2007-March/002147.html ), but I get the error no matter how I run the spec ( whether I use rake or not) Any ideas? I am using 0.8.2 The Error: C:/rails/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-0.8.2/lib/spec/expectati ons/sugar.rb:14:in

Inspired by Nick Evans'' RSpec progress bar[1], I had a little crack at implementing the progress bar for cucumber, ''cause I want to know how long a break I can take while the features are running :) It''s in my fork, in the coverage_formatter branch: http://github.com/mattwynne/cucumber/tree/master It will dump failing feature, scenario, step and the exception as

Hi all, In GOOS[1] they use an assertion called assertEventually which samples the system for a success state until a certain timeout has elapsed. This allows you to synchronise the tests with asynchronous code. Do we have an equivalent of that in the Ruby / RSpec world already? I know capybara has wait_until { } but that''s fairly rudimentary - the failure message isn''t very

Hi, I''m struggling with something that seems to be simple, and I''ve not had any joy following the RSpec books suggestions (p. 187). I''d like to test that a method raises and error when a file is not found. I''ve tried adding this in my example just before I call my method, but it never seems to get invoked. Pathname.stub(:exist?).and_return(false) The whole

I love the way I can throw a call to pending() in the top of an unfinished RSpec example and stop it from failing the build. Is there a similar way to do such a thing with good ole'' cucumber? cheers, Matt ---- http://blog.mattwynne.net http://songkick.com In case you wondered: The opinions expressed in this email are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of any former,

I found myself having to write this today: class ArrayMatcher def initialize(array_to_match) @array_to_match = array_to_match end def ==(other) ok = true @array_to_match.each do |item| ok = ok and other.include?(item) end ok end end def array_including(array_to_match) ArrayMatcher.new(array_to_match) end Is there already something in the

Since upgrading to Cucumber 0.1.99.19 I''ve noticed that the backtraces appearing in the console output are of the form: Page load was not successful (Code: 500): Followed by the dump of the rails error page. That page looks fine in a browser, and it''s helpful enough to see it when save_and_open_page does its thing, but I''m pretty used to reading plain old

I am writing a controller admin/cities_controller.rb it inherits from AdminController, so it''s defined like class Admin::CitiesController > AdminController Whenever I save the controller file, autotest freaks out: uninitialized constant Admin::AdminController (NameError) I''m pretty used to just hitting CTRL-C to get autotest to re-load all the files, or flicking to

Going back to the debate about keeping state between steps, I found myself with the mild urge to be able to write this today: Given there is a user And the user has 20 friends Then I should see a thumbnail of each of the users''s friends Which should be a link to the user profile page for that friend NB: An idiom in this which may be songkick-only but was inspired by what

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/.

What''s the best way to handle a requirement that shows up as a sub-requirement requirement in other features? For example let''s say users can enter dates in various forms throughout my application. There is one set of global rules specifying the formats in which dates may be entered, and how they are interpreted. I put that in one feature. In various other features, like

Hi all, I appreciate that this is not an RSpec question, but I wondered if anyone out there can offer some pointers. We''re using the latest versions of RSpec and RCov, and ruby --version says this (on the Ubuntu build server): ruby 1.8.6 (2008-07-17 patchlevel 279) [x86_64-linux] We''re getting intermittent (yes, intermittent!) segfaults from the build when running

Hi all, I have what I thought was quite a simple requirement but something to do with the way ActiveRecord''s associations work is making it quite puzzling. I guess I can sum it up with this failing test: before(:each) do @source_comment = @source.comments.create(:user_id => 1) @target_comment = @target.comments.create(:user_id => 1) end

Hi there I have a weird situation. I have inherited a project in Rails 1.2.3 that has been upgraded to Rails 2.3.14 (and is running). I have installed Cucumber and Rspec to start to write features/tests for the new code that needs to be written. In my Gemfile, these Gems are loaded: group :test do gem ''rspec-rails'', ''~> 1.3.4'', :require =>

Hey guys, I''d never used RSpec Stories before, so I decided to follow the apparent direction of the wind and just jump right into cucumber. I''m dabbling with/using Cucumber and really like it. Good job, aslak! Where i''m struggling right now is using either fixtures or a model factory methodology like the FixtureReplacement. In both cases, I''m not

I''m working on writing features for a wizard. The wizard collects information from a number of different forms, and you can navigate through it in a number of ways. Anyhow one of these forms is a customer form collecting name, and email. In the context of the wizard I feel that the following scenarios Scenario: Given I step to customer And I fill in my customer details

Hi all, I''ve been cleaning up our routing file, and removed the default map.connect ":controller/:action" route. It''s thrown up a bunch of sloppy mistakes, which is great, but I also think I''ve found a problem with the view specs. We have a generic navbar partial which is rendered in the index page of several different controllers. The navbar contains

Assuming you have a multi-step wizard like thing, with lots of different states and paths through it. What approach would your use to write a feature for it? What I want to do is do the separate states and then reuse these things in more complex scenarios that cover paths. For example Scenario: State A Given I''m ... And I''m ... When I ... Then I should see And I at
