Re: [rspec-users] cucumber generator error in rails 3
Senthil kumar Loganathan, 2010-09-27 08:11: Did I missed any gems or do I need to do any configurations? I had cucumber:install work fine with rails3. Did you remember to `bundle install`? Also you did not seem to have Rails in your Gemfile. Do you have it vendored or? If `rails --version` is different from `script/rails --version` you might want to use the later. My Gemfile looks like this. gem 'rails', '3.0.0' gem 'authlogic', :git = 'http://github.com/binarylogic/authlogic.git' group :production do gem 'mysql2' end group :test do gem 'rspec-rails', '= 2.0.0.beta.22' gem 'cucumber-rails' gem 'capybara' end group :development do gem 'sqlite3-ruby', :require = 'sqlite3' gem 'ruby-debug' end You can use `bundle list` and `bundle show` to see what you have and where did they come from. `script/rails g` should list the generators you have, including the two Cucumber generators.

Re: [rspec-users] Good practices on spec'ing views?
Stefan Kanev, 2010-04-30 11:26: And most importantly, how does the process of writing view specs feel? It sucks. ;) I don't feel like getting any return on the investment, so I don't write them. IMO views should be about looks, and looks only. The most prominent regression issue with views (as I regard them) is getting browsers to render them right (enough). If somebody does (even partially) automatized (even single browser) render testing, I'm all ears. -- Tero Tilus ## 050 3635 235 ## http://tero.tilus.net/ ___ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
Re: [rspec-users] should and != operator
2009-10-12 22:18, Tero Tilus:
Expression x!=y is instead just syntactic sugar for !(x==y).
To illustrate how this affects #should, think of
'some string'.should != 'some string'
Now Ruby internals kick in and desugar this (before anything is even
executed) to
!('some string'.should == 'some string')
Which obviously does not fail.

Re: [rspec-users] [RSpec, Rails] POST create action spec and before_filter
2009-05-18 21:40, Florent Florent:
I have this controller: http://pastie.org/482270
I wrote this spec: http://pastie.org/482273
There are a few spots which draw my attention. At spec line 4 you
create a mock Page with #save that always fails (succesfull save
returns true). Is that intentional? At line 9 you .and_return a
value from a variable you don't set anywhere. Moreover the should
set @context is imo a spec smell (even though it's in description
string), because it refers to internal state of a PagesController
instance, which you should not be interested in, but the external
behavior.
The spec should set @context works fine. But when running the
spec should build a new message I got this error:
Page(id: integer, title: string, content: text, created_at:
datetime, updated_at: datetime) (class) expected :new with
({title=Introduction, content=page d'introduction}) once,
but received it 0 time
Could that have something to do with the fact that you end up stubbing
Page.new one or two times before setting the expectation on it at line
14? It shouldn't, but you never know.
I can not find why Page model does not receive new call, and playing
around I can have the spec running successfully when I remove
:create from the before_filter line!
Could your filter be failing and the failure not showin up somehow?
Does should set @context _really_ succeed? Comment the other
example one out and then try again. Generally you shouldn't expect
your examples (or specs) to run in any particular order.

Re: [rspec-users] what has RSpec got against stack traces?
2009-03-06 22:32, Phlip: Line 192 contains neither a stray nil nor a method 'macro'. So what exactly _is_ there? Do you know that particular line causes (or noes not cause) the error? In situations like this I usually pop to debugger right before the problematic line and then poke around (eval the problematic expression in smaller parts, move up in the call stack and look for anomalies) to find out whats up. The question is why did RSpec throw away the backtrace? How do you know it did that?

You could have told that right away. :-/ It seems I cant reproduce the trace mangling. Do have steps to reproduce? Please please please focus: Nobody is asking how to debug We are trying.

Re: [rspec-users] Examples not getting rolled back...
Forgot to mention before. I'm on Rails 2.2.2 and RSpec 1.1.4.
Inspired by older discussion touching this issue (see
http://www.nabble.com/Database-clearing-td19572270.html) I've now got
Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
config.use_transactional_fixtures = false
...
tables_to_truncate =
ActiveRecord::Base.connection.tables - [schema_migrations]
config.before(:all) do
tables_to_truncate.each do |table_name|
ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute(TRUNCATE TABLE
#{table_name};)
end
end
...
end
And if I run rake spec all specs pass. But if I run script/spec
spec/models/class_foo_spec.rb then
it finds no ghost foos do
ClassFoo.should have(:no).records
end
fails. That is the first example of describe ClassFoo. Looks like
script/spec runs examples (see pastie http://pastie.org/354521) in the
order they are defined and rake spec in reverse order. And that of
course makes ClassFoo.should have(:no).records fail when run _after_
examples that create ClassFoo instances (befause ive got transactions
off and the db state bleeds within one describe.
2009-01-07 16:11, Tero Tilus:
I'm keep getting the following kind of pattern in my logs
... log from example starts here ...
SQL (0.0ms) BEGIN
SQL (0.0ms) BEGIN
ClassFoo Create (0.2ms) INSERT ...
Group Load (0.4ms) SELECT ...
Contains Create (0.2ms) INSERT ...
... other stuff from example, no transaction stuff ...
SQL (1.9ms) COMMIT
SQL (0.1ms) ROLLBACK
... log from example ends here ...
If I turn use_transactional_fixtures off, the outer transaction is
gone.

Re: [rspec-users] scenarios on production data
2008-09-05 16:10, Nick Hoffman: I know what you mean about it feeling reassuring to know that your tests/specs passed when run on production data. However, if your specs, scenarios, tests, etc cover all behaviours, situations, edge cases, etc, then you needn't worry. All is well. I think you are overlooking the often stressed point of tests. You are supposed to gain confidence on your codebase by testing. If you have covered everything you can think of and still have the gut feeling that some end user voodoo hiding in production environment will kill your mighty app, why not run tests against production data too? You know very well, that if you have that icky feeling, it's not gonna go away if somebody says you needn't worry. ;) Of course, if you hit something in production data, you should immediately isolate and reproduce the case in your tests and then go debugging. That way you aren't actually using production data as test data, but using it to develop the test data.
