similar to: be_valid (validates_format_of ..., :on => :create)

I''m new to rspec and looking for way to test a validation I added to a model. The test checks to see that if field1 has a value then field2 must be nil and vice versa. ------------------------------- When I did the rspec_scaffold it generated one test which worked before :each do @valid_attributes = { :field1 = "value for field1" :field2 = "value for

Having used JUnit and Test::Unit, I''m quite used to having the ability to insert a failure message, which helps when tests fail. For instance, the example RSpec that is generated for a model class specifies that the model class is valid. Assuming this were supposed to be true, and it failed, I''ve now got to duplicate the code in the test in order to find out why it

Hey gang, I find myself struggling with multiple step definitions in cucumber all the time. I regularly test the contents of my flash[:notice] in steps, since I think that''s part of the behaviour of the app. So, while implementing a new feature, I ran into the following error: /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/cucumber-0.1.15/bin/../lib/cucumber/ step_mother.rb:81:in

Hey list, I''m refactoring some much-used functionality into a common_steps step group. Methods like this are in there: steps_for :common do Given "a number of existing $types?" do |type| @initial_item_count = type.singularize.classify.constantize.count end When "the user adds an invalid $type" do |type| post

Hi, I have a spec it "should have a unique username " I have a code: validates_uniqueness_of :user_name Now, I don''t know how to test this code. In order to test this, do I need to run `save`? For example, @user = User.create(:username => "mike") @another = User.create(:username => "mike") @another.save.should be_false This messes up test

The docs say DEPRECATED. See Spec::Rails::Expectations model.should_have(:no).errors_on(:attribute) model.should_have(1).error_on(:attribute) model.should_have(3).errors_on(:attribute) However the rdoc for Spec::Rails::Expectations shows the same code. The only difference is that it''s "model.should have(1).error_on(:attribute) instead" So is error_on itself deprecated, or is

Hi experts, I picked up a copy of the rspec book and wrote some tests in spec/lib and spec/models for my Rails 2.3.8 code. I was using rspec 2.5.1, rspec-core 2.5.0, rspec-expectations 2.5.0 et. al. But I realised that the rspec-rails version I am using is meant for Rails3. Which version of rspec-rails should I use for Rails 2.3.8? Best, Radhesh -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

In a model I have following validates_format_of. Is there an easy way to DRY this up? It seems to be rather repetitive. validates_format_of :expiration_date, :with => /^[0-9]{4}[-][0-9]{2}[-][0-9]{2}$/ validates_format_of :activation_date, :with => /^[0-9]{4}[-][0-9]{2}[-][0-9]{2}$/ validates_format_of :some_other_date, :with =>

Hi I''ve got a problem validating a boolean and I can''t see what the problem is. Here''s my model: class FinanceAgreement < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :asset validates_presence_of :finance_company validates_inclusion_of :balance, :in => 0.01..10_000_000 validates_inclusion_of :term, :in => 1..600 validates_numericality_of

I need a validates_format_of that disallow dots. In the api there is nothing to find about how validates_format_of exatly works. Is there a better documentation or is there something that can tell me howto disallow dots. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

Rails 3.1.3 rspec-rails (2.11.4) rspec 2.11.1 I am new to rspec. I don''t quite understand tests for POST create part. I have generated scaffold, and simultaneously it generated controller_spec.rb as well. it "assigns a newly created plan as @plan" do post :create, {:plan => valid_attributes}, valid_session assigns(:plan).should be_a(Plan)

Hey gang, I have this dead-simple method defined in a helper: def add_category_link(name) link_to_function name do |page| page.insert_html :bottom, :categories, :partial => ''category'', :object => Category.new end end Where, and mostly how, would I spec this? I haven''t been able to find how to stub the rjs in a helper spec, so

Hi, I recently migrated from classic rails testing to Rspec, so I am pretty new to the framework and still learning. I am getting weird errors on an ActiveRecord model test, here is the basic class model definition: class Size < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :quantities, :dependent => :destroy validates_presence_of :name validates_uniqueness_of :name, :case_sensitive => false end

Hi all, I''ve got a form which accepts a "price" field and I''m attempting to validate it and allow some flexibility in the way the user enters it. It''s a numeric field but I want the user to be able to enter dollar signs and commas naturally in the data entry. I''m trying to understand how to use validates_format_of, and I''m not sure what

Hi all, I''m hoping to stir the Rails pot a little bit here, so please go easy with me ;-) Regular Expressions is the most densely inhumane language construct ever invented in any ''civilisation'', and the fact that we still have to dirty our minds with this in Rails is something that (sh/c)ould ideally be corrected in Rails (preferably before the release of 1.2

I''m using validates_format_of and the validation I want to do works, but I can''t get an error message to be displayed if the data is invalid: validates_format_of :mobile, :with => /\A[\+0-9]+\Z/, :message => " - Wrong" I have another validation some where else that does display the error message: " - Name is too long" validates_length_of :name,

I''ve noticed that validates_format_of will return invalid if the field is nil. Question 1) How should we declare a validation that will validate it with a regex if it is set, but, if the field is not set, just move on Question 2) Why is it done this way? The other validators are only invoked if the field is set . If you want to declare the field mandatory, you add a

Been manually testing file column with success except it seems to upload the file before validating it. Also .pdf files (which shouldn''t even validate) crash WEBrick. What am I missing to solve these problems? (apart from a brain!) validates_presence_of :title, :file validates_format_of :file, :with => %r{.(gif|jpg|png)$}i, :message => "File must end with .jpg, .gif or

Can someone tell me why this returns ''dob is invalid'' when dob is ''01/01/1969''? validates_format_of :dob, :with => /[0-9]{2}.[0-9]{2}.[0-9] {4}/, :message => ''is invalid'' I''m trying to validate a date entred into a form. I suppose there are different ways to accomplish this, and because it doesn''t work, I''m
