[rspec-users] Rspec controller test
Great Hi to everybody! I am currently working on a project which tests the controllers using rspec. I came across some methods in the controller which do not generate any actions at all. However, they still need testing! Some of these methods do require parameters. I am wondering how I can pass the test cases as the parameters to these targeted methods in the controller spec?? Below is a simple example for illustration: in the controller: def method_for_test(parameter_1, parameter_2) #do some coding #no action end in the controller_spec: it "should test the method_for_test" do parameter_1 parameter_2 ??how to pass them to method_for_test end Thank you all in advance. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Rspec-controller-test-tf4229016.html#a12030820 Sent from the rspec-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
[rspec-users] Failed to pass arguments to controller method
Good morning to everyone: So weird!! I got a method called apply_settings(arg1, arg2) in the controller to be tested. In the controller spec, I of course called the method. In the controller: def apply_settings(arg1, arg2) #where arg1 is a hash, and arg2 is an array of object #do some coding end In the controller spec: before(:each) do @controller = Controller.new end it "should test the apply_settings" do @controller.apply_settings(Hash.new, array_of_object) #where the arguments are exactly some format #as required end However, it yielded "wrong number of arguments(0 for 1)" error after I ran the spec. It there anything wrong in my spec?

[rspec-users] Problem of using fixture in Rspec
Dear Fellows: I was using fixtures in the model tests using Rspec. I found that the test data specified in the fixtures was stored in the test database once I ran the spec and won't be removed anyway. Is my observation correct? There might be another problem regarding the fixtures. When I ran the specs one by one, it was working. However, it failed when I tried to run all the specs in one command. It seemed that the test data which was modified by one spec caused the other spec which accessed that particular data to fail. In other words, the data is actually kind of public to all specs, so the specs shares one copy of test data. If my observation is correct, are there any ways to overcome these problems? Is it possible that each single spec owns its test data so that the modifications on the data will not affect other specs?

[rspec-users] How to use expect_render?
Hi:
I am a rspec beginner. I have scratched my head for the whole afternoon,
trying to figure out a way of writing render expectation in controller spec.
However, I failed. It kept telling me that the 'expect_render' was an
undefined method. I have installed rspec 1.0.8 and rspec_on_rails as well.
Below is the controller to be tested.
Controller
def index
pre = Array.new
render :partial=>'index', :layout=>false, :locals=>{:pre=>pre}
end
My controller spec
before do
@controller = MyController.new
end
it "should render the index partial" do
@controller.expect_render(:partial=>'index', :layout=>false) #I don't
know how to expect the :locals
end
As I mentioned, the spec failed , saying that "Undefined method
'expect_render' ". There might be some mistakes in my "before" block. Do I
need to mock the controller or something else? Anyway, do any one know how
to fix the problem? It will be even better if you guys could show me a piece
of example code.
Thanks!!

Re: [rspec-users] How to use expect_render?
Hello, Aslak:
I know we could do template.expect_render somehow, although I haven't
tried that out. But the rspec developer said that we could now actually use
controller.expect_render in controller specs, which caused me confused. You
may want to have a look at this:
http://rspec.rubyforge.org/documentation/rails/writing/controllers.html
writing controller spec
Thanks, regards.

Re: [rspec-users] How to use expect_render?
Dear Aslak and David:
I have tried two possible ways to get expect_render work. However, they
all failed. My combinations are:
my controller spec
describe MyController do
before do
#do nothing
end
it "should render the index partial" do
controller.expect_render(:partial=>'index') #1st way
MyController.expect_render(:partial=>'index') #2nd way
end
end
The 1st way gave me an error: Mock 'expect_render_mock_proxy' expected
:render with ({:partial=>'index'}) once, but received it 0 times
The 2nd way gave me an error: undefined method 'expect_render'
Do I need to mock the controller or there are some mistakes I have made in
my spec?

Re: [rspec-users] How to use expect_render?
Dear Aslak:
Sorry to bother you over and over again. I did follow your instruction to
write the controller spec, but...the thing is not getting better.:-(
I'd like to post my code again, hopefully you would figure it out.
My Controller
class MyController
def index
pre = Array.new
render :partial=>'index', layout=>false, locals=>{:pre=>pre}
end
end
My Controller spec
describe MyController do
it "should render the index partial" do
controller.expect_render(:partial=>'index', :layout=>false)
get 'index'
end
end
By the way, I am using JRuby rather than ruby. Hence my command to run the
spec above is
jruby --command spec spec/controllers/my_controller_spec.rb --format specdoc
It always gave me an error:Mock 'expect_render_mock_proxy' expected :render
with
({:partial=>"index"}) once, but received it 0 times.
Is it because "expect_render" is not compatible with JRuby or I forgot to
mock something?
Thanks a lot.
Regards.

[rspec-users] Can Rspec do module spec? What if module uses test data?
Dear fellows: I am currently working on writing specs on some ruby modules(e.g. myModule). At first I try to use script/generate to generate rspec_module, but it failed. :-( Later I manually created a file (e.g. named myModule_spec.rb) and put the 'require spec_helper.rb' as the first line of code followed by 'describe' block. Luckily, it seemed to be working. But it was not likely to be a logical way to generate module specs. Question 1:Is there any better way of creating module spec??:confused: Anyway, I started to write method specs in these manually created module specs, and I found another problem. Module specs do not support 'fixtures'. This means that if you test some methods which modify test data in your module specs, that data won't be restored after you finish running each spec. In other words, all the modules specs actually share a copy of test data. This will cause some module specs to fail if other modules do modified the shared data beforehand. Question 2:What should I do to resolve this problem, making module specs access test data independently? :confused: -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Can-Rspec-do-module-spec--What-if-module-uses-test-data--tf4309226.html#a12267615 Sent from the rspec-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
[rspec-users] Can module spec use fixtures?
Good morning, dear fellows: I'd like to recall one question I posted yesterday. I am writing specs for ruby modules. Some of the modules do some data process in the test database. Because 'fixtures' is undefined (Am I correct?) in module specs, spec of certain module (e.g. delete data form database) will affect other specs of other modules (e.g. try to access the deleted data). My observation is all the modules specs share only a copy of test data. If I am correct, are there any way of avoiding this, and providing a copy of initial test data (like fixtures do) for each module spec? Thanks Regards. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Can-module-spec-use-fixtures--tf4314808.html#a12285512 Sent from the rspec-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
[rspec-users] Can module spec "behave like" controller spec?
Hello everyone: Right now I am writing spec on modules, which are provided by my colleagues. Some of the modules actually contain action methods. I tried very hard to spec those action methods in modules. But it seems that the rspec does not allow module spec to 'get' action like controller does. After I saw the documentation, I then used :behaviour_type=>:controller. However, it failed again. It reported an error for me. For illustration, I'd like a simple example. module MyModule def copy #an action method render :partial=>"/index", :layout=>false end end describe MyModule, :behaviour_type=>:controller do it "should render partial index" do get 'copy' #test code not provided yet, just want to get the action end end The error reported was: undefined method 'new' for MyModule:Module. Do you guys have any idea of the error? And how should I test the action methods in modules?

[rspec-users] How to test 'Paginate'?
Great Hi to everyone:
I don't know how to write spec for a controller method which has
'paginate'. Is there any Rspec API for it?
To illustrate, I would like to post an example.
class PeopleController
def paginate_method
hash = Hash.new
hash[:people_page], hash[:people] = paginate :people, ...#order and
conditions omitted
render :partial=>"/index", :layout=>false, :locals=>{:hash=>hash}
end
end
Does anyone who knows how to write spec on this method? I appreciate any
help. Thank you.

[rspec-users] Can not 'assigns' value in View test
Hello everyone:
I am quit new to View test using rspec. I want to write spec for a
partial, which is rendered by a controller. However, the controller does not
pass data to the partial using instance variables, it uses symbol variable
instead. I read the example of view spec provided in the website. But the
example is using instance variable. So I am looking for a way of assigning
my test data to the partial to be tested. I would like to show an my code
below:
class MyController
def index
hash = {...#data provided here}
render :partial=>'index', :layout=>false, :locals=>{:hash=>hash}
end
end
_index.rhtml
..#unrelated code omitted
var data = <%= hash %>;
In my spec, I used assigns[:hash] = my_own_data, but an error occurred,
saying that "undefined local variable or method 'hash' ".
How can I assign my own data to hash in my view spec?
Thank you!

Unfortunately, I am not supposed to change the code inside the partial.
That's why I posted this message. I am trying to find a way of tackling this
problem. Because I am going to test tens of hundreds of partials, most of
which are using the symbols rather than instance variable.

Re: [rspec-users] Can not 'assigns' value in View test
I also feel puzzled. But that's what my colleagues do, and it works. The
thing is they use
render :partial=>'index', :locals=>{:hash=>hash}
in the controller to pass the hash data to the partial it will render(index
in this case). And later they simply use <%= hash %> to get the hash data
passed from the controller. Maybe the :locals does some magical work here. I
am quite familiar with rspec and ruby. So I am reading more documentation
now.
Hopefully we could figure it out shortly.

Re: [rspec-users] Can not 'assigns' value in View test
Hello, David:
Thank you very much for your help. Now it works!
I would like to recall a message posted several days ago regarding the
"paginate". How to test "paginate" in controller spec? One simple example
may be like this:
hash[:accounts_pages], hash[:accounts] = paginate :accounts(the table),
#order and conditions follows
How should I test this code in controller spec? Or can I mock this line,
like should_receive(:paginate).and_return(...)? But the problem is
'paginate' returns two values. :(
Thanks for investigating this question.

[rspec-users] Need help in View Spec
Hello everyone: I am kind of puzzled in writing spec on view partials. I can not find much information about the "should have_tag" syntax in Rspec. Can rspec test a particular attribute of a tag (e.g. input tag)? Let me put an example here: #../view/group/_index I want to test the "onclick" attribute in the input tag, which ensure that clicking the button will call the correct Javascript method. How should I do? Great thanks for any help. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Need-help-in-View-Spec-tf4439760.html#a12667395 Sent from the rspec-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
Re: [rspec-users] Need help in View Spec
Yes, I have gone through the documentation before, and I read the reference
of 'assert_select' as well. But I still can not figure out a way of testing
attributes in a tag. What I know is we can use:
should have_tag("tag#id") or should have_tag("tag.class")
to select a tag, whereas I don't know how to select an attribute and test
it!
Another problem is the tag does not have id or class sometimes, does it mean
that is no way of selecting it?

Sorry, that's another spec caused the error. It is working. Thank you very

Re: [rspec-users] Need help in View Spec
Hello
To spec the example I mentioned before, I wrote the spec as what you
suggested
#../view/group/index_spec.rb
describe "/group/_index_spec" do
it "should call JS function when click the button" do
render '/group/_index'
response.should have_tag("input[onclick=?]", "update()")
end
end
However, it generated an error "Expecting a selector as the first argument".
What is wrong?

[rspec-users] Is Rcov working with Jruby now?
Hello everyone: I am currently assigned to test a big project which uses JRuby to build a web application. The reason of using JRuby is the web application is communicating with Java Service. I am writing test cases using Rspec and looking for a code coverage tool. Rcov is no doubt a nice code coverage tool. However, it is said that Rcov is not compatible with JRuby so far. SighI can not find any other code coverage tools for JRuby. Some developers are working on this problem. So I am wondering whether there are any progresses so far? Or are there any alternative code coverage tools for JRuby? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Is-Rcov-working-with-Jruby-now--tf4506880.html#a12853457 Sent from the rspec-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
[rspec-users] weird behavior of mocking ruby class methods
Hello everyone:
After I played with Rspec for three months, I realized a weird behavior of
mocking ruby classes (e.g. File).
Please let me post a sample code before I point out the problems:
#file_reader.rb (to be tested)
class FileReader
def do_read
File.read('asd.txt')
end
end
#file_reader_spec.rb
describe FileReader, "do_read" do
it "should throw File Not Found on non-existent file" do
reader = FileReader.new()
lambda {
reader.do_read
}.should raise_error(Errno::ENOENT)
end
end
describe FileReader, "do_read" do
it "should read the mock contents" do
reader = FileReader.new()
File.should_receive(:read).and_return('file contents')
reader.do_read.should == 'file contents'
end
end
In the test cases shown above, I wanted to mock the "read" method in ruby
"File" class.
The first case passed while the second one failed. I suspected that the
mocking was not working in the second case. (Please see the output in
"Scenario 1" in the attached file)
Then I switched the running order of the test cases, another interesting
result came out. The mocking worked well this time but "read" method in
"File" class became undefined in the second test case. It seemed that the
mocking erased the "read" method. (Please see the output in "Scenario 2" in
the attached file)
http://www.nabble.com/file/p14205880/result.txt result.txt
I am wondering what is going on out there when I mocked a method of ruby
class?
Do I use mocking in a proper way as the sample code shown above?
What is the correct way of mocking methods of ruby classes?
