Yes, I believe it is and I think it is dangerous, and confusing to people new to the concepts of testing. I''ve mentioned a point similar to this on here before, but with the announcement of Rails "integration" test, I''m worried that somebody somewhere is getting their types of tests worryingly mixed up. Lets start with what we had in the beginning...unit tests (for

Sorry if this comes across as a bunch of disjointed thoughts...I''m just trying to put my thoughts down and I''d like to know what other people''s opinions on the subject are. I''ve been working with Rails for 3 or 4 months now and I''m constantly trying to look at ways of improving my testing techniques, especially when it comes to TDD. I have a few

One of the things I like about Rails is the built-in support for testing ? it?s almost hard not to write tests. But even if I write extensive tests (currently ?Code to Test Ratio: 1:3.4? according to rake stats in a small toy project) I still feel that it?s not enough. I occasionally get the urge to fire up the browser and click around to test that everything works. You shouldn?t have to

Hi, I really like selenium, and I just tried the plugin created Jonas Bengtsson. However I cannot get it to run on rails 1.1 and coundn''t find anyone complaining about it? Did anyone get it to run on rails 1.1.2? Greets, Abdur-Rahman

This is the first release of a new Ruby library for the www.bulksms.co.ukAPI which should allow simple integration of SMS functionality into your Ruby or Rails apps. Sending a message is as simple as: @service = Service.new(''username'', ''password'') @service.send_message(''This is my message!'', ''4479123456789'') # whats my

Since upgrading to 1.1.3 on our dev box, we''ve started to see random routing errors with our apps running under Mongrel in production mode. The errors seem to go away after a while but come back everytime we restart the server. This may be a mongrel problem, it may be a rails problem (I''ve posted a bug on the trac) and I was wondering if anybody else had had similar

Hi, I''m looking to upgrade an application based on rails 1.0, and I have a problem with plugins working fine in development, but not in production or test. Actually, it happens in all environments with their dependency mechanism set to :load. For example for the selenium on rails plugin, it needs the class SeleniumOnRailsConfig, which triggers the dependency on

Hello, I need to put a script in place for updating a local database with a remote resource periodically. It should be started alongside the server (or inside it, whatever) and be run as long as the server running my rails app is up an running. Any thoughts on how to accomplish this? I have thought of editing the environment.rb file and placing the call to the script trigger there, but I wonder

Hello, I have been struggling to get fixtures to work here with no success. They just Do Not Work For Me (tm).

The "rspec" rake task collects all _spec files in the spec directory, and excludes the "watir" directory. Is this indicating a preference for using Watir over Selenium? I would like it better to standardize on something more neutral, ''ui'' perhaps? /Marcus -- Marcus Ahnve http://marcus.ahnve.net

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

What if...you could produce accessible, unobtrusive javascript, using Rails built-in javascript/prototype helpers, with just one extra line of code in your layout, a plugin, and one small enhancement to the helpers. Something like this: [php] <% form_remote_tag :controller => ''foo'', :action => ''bar'', :unobtrusive => true %> # which produces

hello all, I need any framework that generate models using the database structure.... Anyone knows if have this framework???? Thank''s -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I made a brief post on here the other day about this and now I can proudly present the initial release of our unobtrusive_javascript plugin for Rails. We''ll be working with Dan Webb of Vivabit to roll in much of the functionality in his own as-yet unreleased unobtrusive_javascript plugin into a single plugin. This is essentially a preview release and probably not suitable for use on a

Hey all, I am currently working on coming up w/ an easy to use, developer-centric web testing framework to test a J2EE app with. (I have 3 rails apps in production, love rspec, and am currently at a java shop). I''ve looked at selenium, and it just doesn''t seem like it is ready for prime time, and the target audience is developers. So, having said that, does the rspec

RSpec 0.9.4 has just been released. Gems haven''t rsync''ed around the globe yet, so you might have to wait a few hours to install it. The big news this time is Spec::Ui 0.2.0, which has been released along with RSpec core. This RSpec extension gives you custom Watir matchers (custom Selenium-RC matchers are not implemented yet). Moreover, it comes with a custom KICK ASS formatter

While looking into spec_ui, I decided to run the examples. The watir example works a little, but always chokes on the ''better than fudge'' spec (failure output below). Also, is there any command to pause the "browser"? If my connection slows, the test gets out of whack. The selenium example fails right away (output below). I do have the 0.9.0 selenium-rc

Hello, I wonder if some of you have evaluated these two solutions and how they compares each other. What did you liked or disliked ? And may be are you aware of others functionnal testing tools usable with and integrated with Ruby ? Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
