[rspec-users] Unsubscribing from the list ...

2009-07-22 Thread Bryan Ray

I'm currently subscribed to this list on two email addresses (personal and
'work') ... i would like to remove this list from my 'personal' just to
reduce the amount of email ...
I have tried using the unsubscribe feature on the web site as well as
attempting to send an email with unsubscribe but it refuses to get me off
this list.
Is there a secret that I'm missing? How do I get off this crazy ride?

Re: [rspec-users] another noob question about stubs

2008-04-30 Thread Bryan Ray

If you used Matt's code below, then successful? is most likely  
referring to a method after your open_id_authentication method.


When you stub! that method you're effectively telling rspec to skip  
over it and return what I tell you instead.


You'd need to paste more of your spec and controller action that  
you're stubbing for anyone to be of further help.

ok thanks, I still get a undefined method `successful?', successful?
is a method that is used inside of the block, it's partof the
open_id_authentication plugin, any way to include the plugin in the
spec so that it recognizes the method?

thanks in advance

 Hey Chris,
 AFAIK you can't test content_for's in the view specs.  Someone may want
 to correct me on that.

 I usually test content_for stuff in my stories.  If your not using
 stories then you could try integrating the views on certain controller
 specs and testing it there.

 Not the answer you were probably looking for, but I hope that helps.

  Hi David,
 
  Is there any chance you could elaborate on the problems please, so
  that
  other projects can make an informed decision whether to use
  submodules
  or not?
 
  There is always a chance :)

 What I learned was that submodules are great for things like consuming
 plugins in your rails projects, but not so great for a development
 effort in multiple people are pushing and pulling to multiple
 repositories with dependencies and no multi-project transaction support.

 The parent repository depends on specific versions of the subs. As
 you're making changes in your local repos, the last thing you do is
 commit the parent with the references to the new versions of the subs.
 Every time you make a change to any of the subs you have to commit a
 change to the parent. These changes are useful as documentation if
 you're updating a plugin to the latest release. Not that useful if the
 log is polluted with these for every commit to every submodule.

 When you pull, you pull the parent first, and then use git-submodule
 to pull the correct versions of the subs. The parent is in control of
 the situation and it somewhat guarantees that you're getting all the
 right stuff. This is GREAT for consumers, but problematic for
 contributors. And even then, if consumers are pulling from a
 development branch while developers are pushing to it, then consumers
 might run into problems.

 Let's say you're doing a pull while I'm doing a push. If I push the
 parent first, and I push it before you do, there is a chance that when
 you go to pull the subs those versions of the subs might not be there
 yet. Conversely, if I push the subs first and you grab an old parent,
 you'll be pulling old subs. No problem when you're pulling, but it's
 going to create problems when you go to push because you're that much
 further down the history.

 Of course, these problems exist even when you're dealing with a single
 repository on a team that believes in frequent commits, continuous
 integration, etc. And just by virtue of the fact that we have several
 repos with dependencies means that we're going to run into conflicts
 now and then. It just seems that the explicit references from parent
 to children adds a layer of complexity to this for both consumers and
 developers.

 This all make sense?


  Cheers,
  Jon

  the

I can try to fix this?
 
   Pat, please don't accept blame for this.  You didn't screw up the
   repo: git screwed up the repo by rewriting history when it shouldn't.

 Blame is irrelevant here.  Code and commit history is gone, and we
 need to get it back.  We also need to figure out how to prevent this
 from happening again.  That's all.

Re: [rspec-users] textmate = pass, autotest = failing specs ???

2008-04-15 Thread Bryan Ray

That'll learn ya to use Mocha over rSpec ;)

On Tue, Apr 15, 2008 at 2:27 PM, Giuseppe Bertini [EMAIL PROTECTED]
wrote:

  catch any dependencies your tests may have on each other
  in order to reveal brittle tests.

 Following Ben's hint, I took out examples from the controller spec until
 I isolated the culprit.

 Briefly, I am switching from RSpec's built in mocking framework to Mocha
 and fixture_scenarios when necessary. I had forgotten to modify one of
 the examples, which still had this construct:

  object.should_receive(:method).and_return(:a_mock)

 instead of Mocha's:

  object.expects(:method).returns(:a_mock)

 So I have empirically learned that enabling

  config.mock_with :mocha

 in /spec/spec_helper.rb and then mixing Mocha with RSpec's own
 mocking/stubbing messes things up in a nasty way, in the sense that
 failures occur all over the place with error messages that did not help
 me finding the bug.
 And again, these errors were not raised by TextMate's environment.
 Tricky.


 Thanks for the feedback!
 Giuseppe

Re: [rspec-users] how to stub the :current_user and any methods associated with it

2008-04-07 Thread Bryan Ray

Sorry this isn't extremely informative ... in a bit of a rush. Hopefully it

 I'm new to Rspec and I'm having a bit of trouble with this controller
 that I'm testing. I think I'm doing it right but I guess my syntax is
 wrong.
 I'm currently using the acts_as_authenticated plug in.

 What I want to test out is

 EventController on entering the tickets_page
 - should show the tickets_page  if the current_user has NOT entered
 this page today


 -
 Below is my event controller
 -

 class EventController  ApplicationController

  before_filter :login_required

  def tickets_page
  if current_user.has_already_entered_today?
flash[:notice] = 'Come back tomorrow'
redirect_to :action = 'home'
  else
flash[:notice] = 'Welcome'
  end
  end
 end


 -
 Below is my rspec for this controller
 -

 require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../spec_helper'
 describe EventController do

  before(:each) do
@current_user = mock_model(User, :id = 1)
controller.stub!(:current_user).and_return(@current_user)
controller.stub!(:login_required).and_return(:true)
  end

  fixtures :users


  describe on entering the tickets page do
it should show the tickets_page  if the current_user has NOT
 entered this page today do
 controller.current_user.stub!
 (:has_already_entered_today?).and_return(:false)
 get :tickets_page


 controller.current_user.should_receive(:has_already_entered_today?).with(:false).and_return(:false)
 response.should render_template(:tickets_page)
end
 end

 end

 -
 My errors
 -
 Mock 'User_1001' received unexpected
 message :has_already_entered_today? with (no args)


So this is a good start ... it means that the controller action is actually
being mocked out ... you just need to keep moving forward mocking/stubbing
out the rest of your controller actions. it's complaining that it doesn't
know what to do on your *current_user.has_already_entered_today?* method.

@current_user.stub!(:has_already_entered_today?).and_return(insert true or
false here)





 Anyone can help with any direction of what I might be doing wrong?

Daniel,

I was in your place asking this question about a month ago. Here are
the pointers that were helpful to me.

[2] http://svn.nightlite.org/applications/cody/trunk/

After examining the links above, I rewrote a small project that I
already had working only this time I used BDD for the process. I ended
up writing about 50% more code and created about 100% more methods,
but the resulting program was much easier to understand and very easy
to extend. I also had 100% code coverage which was a first for me.

I don't know if the code I wrote would be useful to you but I would be
happy to send you a tarball (under 50k) containing this project.

Good luck.

Re: [rspec-users] rspec controller action list

2008-02-29 Thread Bryan Ray

It has to do with your find_city method. You spec is expecting it to be
called from controller, hence:

controller.should_receive(:find_city)

Where is that method and why isn't it being called should be your next
questions based on the code and spec you've pasted.

Hope that helps, buddy.

[rspec-users] Autotest file

2008-02-28 Thread Bryan Ray

I'm using rSpec 1.1.3 and ZenTest 3.9.1 and every time I run a test I get
All Tests Passed ... perhaps I should just leave it that way? :p

Anyways, I've attempted to construct my own ~/.autotest file and it's
extremely basic, but for some reason whenever I make one test fail (on
purpose) it still kicks off the :green hook rather than the :red one ...

Anybody have any ideas?

# My ~/.autotest file
require 'autotest/redgreen'

module Autotest::Growl
  def self.growl(title, msg, image=, priority=0, sticky=)
system growlnotify -n autotest #{sticky} --priority #{priority}
--message '#{msg}' '#{title}'
  end

  Autotest::add_hook :green do |at|
growl Tests Passed!, All tests passed!
  end

  Autotest::add_hook :red do |at|
growl Tests Failed!, Tests have failed!
  end
end
