I'm using rspec 1.3, and using rspec's mock_model to mock out some of the models in my controller tests. I create all the mocks in the before(:each) in the controller spec. I then run my model tests where I build real activerecord objects for setup in before(:each) instead of mocks. It seems that in my model tests, the model is still ...
I upgraded to Rails 3 and RSpec 2 and one of my RSpec tests stopped working: # Job.rb class Job < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :location belongs_to :company validates_associated :location end # Location.rb class Location < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :job end # job_spec.rb describe Job, "location" do it "should have a ...

I am testing a simple password reset action and would like RSpec's "change" matcher for lambdas. But it doesn't work for this controller action. Everything works fine without that matcher.

When using a helper class with an rspec test, I can't see to use the .should be_false idiom. It's okay in a function defined in a helper .rb file, but when it's within a class the be_false symbol is not found. Example below -- why doesn't this work? How can I use be_false et al in a helper? It seems possible that it's intentional tha...
There is a very noticeable difference in application initiation time between running my specs from the command line with ruby 1.9.x vs. 1.8.7. My application initiates much faster with ruby 1.8.7 than with ruby 1.9.1 or 1.9.2. The application initiation difference is approximately 18 seconds. It takes about 5 seconds for my app to ini...

I've recently just added Devise to my first Rails3 app, and I'm having a bit of trouble with the controller tests. I'm testing the User controller class, which is the same model that Devise uses. So at the beginning of my spec I have this: before(:each) do sign_in @user = Factory.create(:user) end Now I can get the test passing wit...
I don't really care about testing file uploads, but since I have validates_attachment_presence, etc.. in my model, rspec is complaining. So now I'm creating my model with these attributes in the spec to try and shut it up: @attr = { :name => "value for name", :title => "value for title", :content => "value for content", :pic_fi...
