Hi all! I''m looking into the testing chapter of Agile Web Development With Rails (2nd ed.). I want to performance test my app, but I''m too lazy to write fixtures for performance test. I''d rather use the data from my development db (because the data is so close to the production data). How do I get the data into the test db without writing fixtures? Could you please

Hey I''m writing a simple admin interface thats reading user data (skills) from a comma separated file. To clear the database before inserting new skills, I use Skill.delete_all Then I insert the new values I read from a file. Everything goes well up to the point where I see that auto-generated ID''s are not starting from 1. They start off at 840 (responding to the number of

In my work with a simple localization plugin, i''m running into a lot of places in the Rails core, where text and other localization specific information is hardcoded. I''ve included some examples in the bottom of this post. It''s hard for an outsider to know, if the hardcoded values are a result of inconsistency in code, or "by design". I hope that we can have

I have an autocomplete field with road names (looking up in a database with approx. 100,000 road names). To limit the number of roads, i want an extra input field where to put postal code. I''m currently using <%= text_field_with_auto_complete %> for the field. What is the best way in Rails to intercept the Ajax call and send the value of the postal_code field? (I guess I could do

Something suddenly went wrong in my ruby install. When installing Mongrel on my Windows XP laptop, it incorrectly tries to build it as a native extension. I don''t even get the selection where I can choose to install a compiled version. I would appreciate any help/links or similar, as I frankly don''t understand what''s going on and why I dont get the usual selection box.

Hi Railers If you are in the Copenhagen area on the 29th of this month (that''s a Thursday) Jesper and I would be glad to see you at Caf? Selina in the central Copenhagen for the first of many Ruby on Rails meetups. We start at 20:30 hours and have of cause arranged for free beer and complementary WiFi. Our goal is to create an inspiring atmosphere where railers (new and old) can

Hi I can''t get heckle working. In fact, I''ve built an example so simple that it either shows a bug, or I am being really, REALLY stupid. Heckle does not appear to support RSpec directly, so I''m trying to use spec --heckle (RSpec trunk as of 10 mins ago, Heckle 1.4.1). I''ve constructed this pair of sample files: 18> ~/Desktop/heckle_test % cat

Hi In light of the fact that RSpec mocks are going into maintenance mode in the near future, I was wondering what everyone was switching to. I liked the look of FlexMock most, so gave that a shot. However, there''s a few things that don''t work well with RSpec due to the traditional differences in the way Test::Unit cases are written vs RSpec specs. (One spec per

Hi Not sure if this is the place to ask this or not. I''ve upgraded to RSpec 1.0.5, installed the latest TextMate bundle, but whenever I do "Run Behaviour Descriptions in selected files/directories" I get this: /Users/ashleymoran/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Pristine Copy/ Bundles/RSpec.tmbundle/Support/lib/spec_mate.rb:18:in `run_files'': private method

Hi I just wondered if there was a reason why Rails controller specs are not shareable? eg describe "All XHR POSTs to /gap/calculate_quote", :shared => true do controller_name :gap # ... end describe "XHR POST /gap/calculate_quote with valid details" do it_should_behave_like "All XHR POSTs to /gap/calculate_quote" # ... end blows up with

Bleeding-edge story-writers, How are you structuring your specs? I am working on a new project and tried this: ./lib ./blah ./spec ./blah ./stories But it breaks autotest, so I moved stories parallel to lib and spec. Also what about suffixes? I have adopted "xyz_story_spec.rb", and "xyz.story" for the time being, with the line runner =

Hi Just trying to spec a Rails model that defaults a valid_until date to this time tomorrow. I''ve done something similar involving Dates, and you can stub the :today method to return something fixed. But when I tried this with Time, I found that RSpec calls Time.now four times per spec. So there''s no way to spec code like 1.days.from_now . The best I can come up

Hi Something that''s gnawing at me... to avoid using the SQLite3 gem I''m stubbing it out like this: before(:each) do @database = mock("SQLite3 database") SQLite3 = Module.new SQLite3::Database = Class.new SQLite3::Database.stub!(:new).and_return(@database) end But then it keeps nagging me:

Hi I''m loading a gem on demand but can''t find a way to spec it. Assuming rubygems is already loaded, I assumed the following would work: describe SqliteConnection, " class" do it "should require ''sqlite3''" do Kernel.should_receive(:require).with("sqlite3") SqliteConnection.new end end Unfortunately

Hopefully in a matter of days. The next release will be 1.1.0. We''re going to a release model in which 1.odd.x will be considered experimental. This means that while we will document

So in the past I''ve written a script that query''s a remote DB, takes the data, validates it, then does some processing, producing a new file with the data in a completely different format. Since this is a script with it''s own set of methods, etc, how do I go about testing the pieces parts? It seems like it should be no different than doing the rails testing I have

Hi Recently I sent a modified version of the GetBundle bundle to textmate-dev. It was failing because the RSpec bundle was from another repo (ie RubyForge). One of the replies said that the RSpec bundle was now in the MacroMates repo, which it is. Is that an officially handled thing? If so, what version of the RSpec bundle is being maintained there - CURRENT? It''s

Forgot post this when I did it... For anyone else that used the "aspect" method of the rspec-ext gem, here''s a New World version of the code to drop into spec_helper.rb.
