I am trying to write a spec were the number of examples i.e. 'it "should ..." do' are determined at runtime. I tried putting the 'it' method in my own method so that I could call it multiple times: def new_method(test) it "#{test} should... " do end end However, the 'it' method is not available from the current Spec::E...
I am making a concerted effort to wrap my head around Rspec in order to move towards more of a TDD/BDD development pattern. However, I'm a long way off and struggling with some of the fundamentals: Like, when exactly should I be using mocks/stubs and when shouldn't I? Take for example this scenario: I have a Site model that has_many :b...

This is what I'm trying to spec it with : it "should vote up" do @mock_cat = Factory.create(:ca...
Hi there, I'm basing my question on this one: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1583760/rspec-mocks-verify-expectations-in-it-should-methods and also on these guidelines: http://eggsonbread.com/2010/03/28/my-rspec-best-practices-and-tips/ So, if there should be only one expectation per "it" block, what if I'm mixing mocks expectations...
I have a bunch of rspec tests that are taking entirely too long to run. I am trying to figure out where the bottleneck is and the logical place to start is using the standard libraries profile library. Execution is happening with JRuby 1.5.2 in this particular case. Here is the output after embedding the profile library in my spec: % ...
I'm trying to stub out a method on my current_user (using a modified restful_authentication auth solution) with rspec. I'm completely unsure of how I can access this method in my controller specs. current_user by itself doesn't work. Do I need to get the controller itself first? How do I do this? Using rails 2.3.5, rspec 1.3.0 and r...

I used the approach details in Railscast espisode #197 on how to add dynamic input fields, but I'm not sure how to write an RSpec test for it. Suggestions? def link_to_add_fields(name, f, association, path, *args) new_object = f.object.class.reflect_on_association(association).klass.new fields = f.semantic_fields_for(association, n...
A Rails/tool specific version of: How deep are your unit tests? Right now, I currently write: Cucumber features (integration tests) - these test against the HTML/JS that is returned by our app, but sometimes also tests other things, like calls to third-party services. RSpec controller tests (functional tests), originally only if the c...

As a result, you end up seeing a lot of code like the following: describe "authentication requests" do it "should return 401 for unauthenticated :show" do get :show ... end it "should return 401 for unauth...
