I installed the current RSpec 2 Beta under Rails 3 RC as mentioned on the GitHub page (and several blogs). Everything works fine, but I am not able to turn off specific generators like advised on some blogs. Here is what I do in ./config/application.rb: config.generators do |g| g.test_framework :rspec, :fixtures => false, :views => f...

My Rails 2 app displays a slideshow of photos from Flickr via the flickraw library. My code works, but I'm stuck on how to properly write RSpec unit tests. I have a Slide class that encapsulates everything that my app needs from flickraw. It acts somewhat like a model object but doesn't use ActiveRecord. It doesn't do much work; it de...

So I just started using Steak, which in turn uses Capybara, which in turn uses Selenium. So I've heard it's good RSpec practice to split testing into lots of little it-clauses, each testing a small piece of functionality. But then it makes a test run take a lot longer, because the same steps get repeated for each test. Say I'm testing...
I'm getting an argument error whenever I run an RSpec test on any controller action that uses a POST or PUT action. It's happening on all of the controllers, no matter what I do. It's just the "wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)" one. The app is working, but the tests are all failing. I think this is happening whenever a "save" is call...

When I execute my specs trying to perform a post to the create action in my controller, I get this error, and I'm not sure why: 1) CustomersController as gues...
I'm trying to test a rails action that takes raw json in the POST body. If i curl with the Content-Type: application/json header set, rails parses the params correctly. How do you set the request body and headers directly in an rspec controller test? ...

The application works, and I can see from tailing the test logs that the database is being written, but for some reason, it's not returning the save ...

Any ideas how to get the specs into the IDE anyway? ...

Instead of automatically creating or updating child records based on id key, in this case the child records must already exist and have certain other conditions, or it raises an error. So as part of this, I have a parent model itera...
