similar to: Rails, rSpec and BDD

Hi I hope this is not OT. I''m training my replacement at work to do BDD Rails development. He''s done a CS/maths degree but has no professional programming experience, so he''s never NOT done a project without BDD. In a way I am jealous of his unspoilt situation :) I''ve gone about things this way: * first teach him some Ruby (he did mainly Java at

I posted a quick screencast demonstrating some BDD with RSpec yesterday: http://wincent.com/a/about/wincent/weblog/archives/2007/05/ behaviourdriven.php I''m a C/Objective-C programmer who knows a bit of Ruby, almost nothing about Rails, and in BDD I can really only claim "new but interested" status. It''s not scripted, it''s totally improvised and

Hey everybody I''m sorry, I know that this question seems to arise every few moments, but I think in my case it''s a bit special (but doesn''t everybody?). Well, I''m working with RoR on a private level since v1.0, and my knowledge about both Ruby and Rails are on a basic level (but definitely does exist), but I''m in no means near being an expert yet. In

Hi, I starting a new project, and have run into behavior I cannot replicate in irb, (i.e. outside of using rspec) when the directory? returns true, so I thought I''d ask here, in case any one has seen this badhavior. ruby-1.9.2-p136 rspec (2.5.0) rspec-core (2.5.1) rspec-expectations (2.5.0) rspec-mocks (2.5.0) When I try to run this spec: require Pathname(__FILE__).ascend { |d|

The RSpec Development Team is pleased to announce the release of RSpec-1.0.8. RSpec 1.0.6 is the "holy cow, batman, it''s been a long time since we released and there are a ton of bug fixes, patches and even new features" release. RSpec 1.0.7 and 1.0.8 deal with a regression introduced in 1.0.6 and a hiccup in releasing 1.0.7, respectively. == RSpec RSpec is a Behaviour Driven

Hi everyone, We went ahead a created a BDD mailing list in Google to talk towards BDD and how it can be applied to just software development in general (language agnostic). We try to mediate the usage of language syntax but occasionally it creeps up in there. We would love to have Ruby BDD''rs (is that a word) lend their perspective on BDD as well. Looking forward to hear from you all.

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

Was Chad keeping it a secret? I hope it will have plenty of BDD theory. I''m still waiting for that magic book I can give to someone and say "here - read this, it

Hey does anyone know of a good open source Rails project that uses RSpec? I''d like to check out some real world code that''s drinking the RSpec BDD koolaid.

Is it too late to suggest some filename conventions for example rspec files--especially when bundling with gems? I see spec_foo.rb and foo_spec.rb around. Also found some foo_ex.rb around. Would having a foo.rspec be worth talking about? Or is the convention more or less to have ''spec'' in the file name? I have to confess the only real motivation I have at the moment is syntax

Hi there, I can''t upgrade rspec on rails to 0.7.5.1. I followed the install guide on the website without sucsess. Here''s my env info: $ rails -v Rails 1.2.2 $ gem -v 0.9.2 $ spec -v RSpec-0.7.5.1 (r1395) - BDD for Ruby http://rspec.rubyforge.org/ $ spec ... <snip> ############################################################################ Your RSpec on Rails plugin

Hello everybody, I''ve been using RSpec as a tool to create web applications for some time now, in Rails, and using plain Ruby with WEBrick as well. The tool suits my needs and the story runner is great. Now there are things that aren''t solvable on the web, you''ll need a _real_ desktop application for those problems. So I''ve toyed a bit around with various GUI

I''ve been working on a Rails project with one other developer; he was using Test::Unit, and I was using RSpec. That works OK for a while, but obviously it starts causing pain when you have to check in two places to see if a piece of code is properly tested/spec''d, you can''t use TextMate shortcuts to switch back and forth between code and test, you have to duplicate

Hi, test "is_admin method is not visible" do get :is_admin assert_??? end is_admin is protected and should stay that way forever. What assertion do I use? M. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I just read ''Mocks Aren''t Stubs'' and was intrigued by the notion of ''outside-in'' TDD. As a Rails developer, I''m curious if others are employing this method when developing Rails applications using RSpec. Is it common practice (or even practical) to drive the development of a Rails app by starting with view specs, then controller specs, then

Hello, and Happy News Year from France J Since 4 month I'm trying to configure Samba 3 on an Ubuntu server 10 to replace a W2k server. The client software is used over Windows XP vista and seven. This software use smb for a flat file (.dbf) share for 9 users the new server is more powerful the old one but I think that the Oplocks options are causing high latencies in the request.
