I have been an evil coder - working like crazy to get a ROR demo operational and ignoring RSpec. Does anyone have any helpful (aka; friendly) advice on using RSpec to get the current implementation under BDD control? Especially pitfalls to avoid. Many thanks. ...
I have this Factory: Factory.define :email_address do |e| e.sequence(:address) { |n| "factory_#{n}@example.com" } e.validated true end When I run my specs with rake spec, it works fine. When I run autospec, it fails right away, claiming that the email address is being used twice in two different objects (there is a validation whi...
I might be missing something basic here, but I'm stumped on this error: model code: class CachedStat < ActiveRecord::Base def self.create_stats_days_ago(days_ago, human_id) d = Date.today - days_ago.day @prs = PageRequest.find(:all, :conditions => [ "owner_type = 'Human' and owner_id = ? and created_at = ?", human_id, d] ) ...
I'm using rspec and cucumber for BBD. Now I'm migrating to rails 3 and rspec 2 and as I could see both of frameworks (shoulda and remarkable) support rails 3 and rspec 2. I have never used shoulda or remarkable. What should I prefer to use with rspec: shoulda or remarkable? And why? ...
Guys, I'm having trouble understanding why I can't seem to stub this controller method :load_user, since all of my tests fail if I change the actual implementation of :load_user to not return and instance of @user. Can anybody see why my stub (controller.stub!(:load_user).and_return(@user)) seems to fail to actually get called when ...

I'm working with a bit of a bleeding edge rails app. Rails 3, RSpec 2, Rspec-Rails2. It seems as if RSpec2 doesn't include the spec:rcov rake task that RSpec 1 has. (at least it isn't there yet) Has anyone had any luck running rcov with rspec 2, or writing their own rake task to make this work? ...
How I can test a send_data method? ...
How can I confirm the absence of a HTML attribute in a Rails RSpec test? I can verify that an input tag has a value attribute and that it is an empty string like so: response.should have_tag("input[name=?][value=?]", "user[password]", "") response.should have_tag("input[name=?][value=?]", "user[password_confirmation]", "") But what I...

Let me preface this be saying that I'm newb to both TDD and Ruby on Rails. I'm using Rspec to perform unit testing of my data layer and to ensure that my database is rejecting invalid input. My rspec code looks as follows: it "should fail at saving without name" do @my_data.attributes = valid_my_data_attributes.except(:name) @my_d...

I am trying to execute rspec code passed in to a Ruby process as a string. How can I execute rspec from within a Ruby process rather than from the commandline and capture the results? # Ruby code code = ' #solution class User def in_role?(role) true end end #Tests to pass describe User do it "should be in any roles ass...

Not sure if this is a Rails 3 issue or an RSpec 2 issue, but I can't seem to get a standard controller test working - it seems that the 'get' method can't be found. I have a controller test that looks like this (named discrepancies_controller_spec.rb in spec/controllers directory): require 'spec_helper' describe DiscrepanciesControlle...
