Re: [rspec-users] autospec fails but rake spec tasks pass (solution)

[jakepaul]

I figured out what the problem was. Turns out that the controller specs used
Mocha's any_instance method to stub valid? and return false (I got this idea
from a Railscast). Due to the order in which autospec runs the specs,
editing the model spec was causing it to be run after the controller spec,
and the Mocha stubs were still being applied in the model specs. I'm not
sure if I was doing something wrong, if there is some way to 'clear' the
stubbed methods that would be great, or perhaps I just shouldn't use
any_instance.

[rspec-users] autospec fails but rake spec tasks pass

[jakepaul]

I can't figure out what is causing this problem. I'm using the latest rspec
and rspec-rails gems on rails 2.3.2.

When I run autospec, the tests in the model spec that I am editing will all
fail. The error messages are like this: 

ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid in 'Job new record should create a new record
given valid attributes'
Validation failed: 

(Nothing after Validation Failed:, just blank). It doesn't matter what
attributes I pass to create the new model, and it doesn't matter if I do it
using a regular create! method or using Machinist, the same error happens.

Now, if I make a change, autospec will run the specs from that one model
spec again, and they will all pass. Then it runs all of my specs again and
that's when the specific spec I'm editing fails (only when it runs all the
specs). When I run rake spec:models or rake spec:controllers, everything
passes as it should. So I figured it might have something to do with the
controller specs, and if I remove those, autospec passes again. Then if I
put the controller specs back, autospec still passes. It only starts failing
if I again edit the model specs.

This is happening in multiple models, not just one. It's making it
impossible to work with, so I'd really appreciate any thoughts you might
have. Thank you!
