Same question as waloeiii in twitter: How can I have autospec/test not run the full test suite after everything goes green? The next test I write will be red! I'd rather run the full test suite manually. By the way, I tried adding a failing spec: it "should flunk" do flunk end but autospec seems to ignore it when it fee...
I am stuck with a problem when testing my controllers with RSpec - the response.body call always returns an empty string. In browser everything renders correctly, and cucumber feature tests seem to get it right, but RSpec fails each and every time. Other expectations on the response object, such as response.should render_template('index...

Can anyone tell me why this test is passing? I am ne...

I have created the following example, which should pass based on the documentation I can find. it "should pass given the correct expectations" do payment = mock_model(Payment) payment.should_receive(:membership_id).with(12) payment.membership_id = 12 end It is faili...

How can i access it without having to define the accessor? By default the usual: controller.variable.should == '3.15' doesn't work. Defining attr_reader :...
Is there a way to stub Kernel.sleep in an rspec scenario? ...
For learning purposes, I'm looking for open source Rails projects that exemplify idiomatic usage of RSpec for BDD. I can find projects, but I'm not experienced enough with Rails or RSpec to know whether what I'm looking at represents best practices. Thanks! ...
A two-parter with a quick intro. Intro: I'm coming to Ruby from Perl, and I'm a bit lost among the test framework choices. I understand that there is probably no single, all-around best choice, but I can't even get a clear picture of the playing field. So, first, MiniTest or Test::Unit? I just realized that 1.9.1 defaults to MiniTest no...
I set out to solve a problem we have, where under certain circumstances; we may need to make an attribute or relationship immutable, that is once the attribute is written it is written forever. attr_readonly wasn't appropriate, as that didn't work for relationships, so I tried to prove the concept here: http://pastie.org/562329 This sh...

I am trying to write specs for the posts/show.html.erb view of a simple application I'm putting together to learn rspec. I'm a bit stumped at the moment on trying to figure out where the extra "%2F" is coming from. Any ideas? My spec... it "should render a form to add a comment" do render "posts/show.html.erb" response.shou...
I've pastied the specs I've written for the posts/show.html.erb view in an application I'm writing as a means to learn RSpec. I am still learning about mocks and stubbing. This question is specific to the "should list all related comments" spec. What I want is to test that the show view displays a post's comments. But what I'm not ...
This is something that has been driving me mad over the past few days. I have an action which allows authenticated users to upload assets to the site. I know that the controller action is correct as I can run through the process manually however I want to test it using rspec. I have to use the request helper so I can reuse an authentica...
I've recently came across different tutorials, where people use both mock and mock_model functions. In RSpec tutorial for controllers they use the mock_model function, but right in the documentation of RSpec, there is only mock function, but no mock_model I tried to run some tests myself, and I didn't find any real difference, since ev...
I am working on some Cucumber stories for a 'sign up' application which has a number of steps. Rather then writing a Huuuuuuuge story to cover all the steps at once, which would be bad, I'd rather work through each action in the controller like a regular user. My problem here is that I am storing the account ID which is created in the f...
I am a fan of using mocks and stubs everywhere I can to keep my specs running quickly. I'm kind of stumped as to how I might do this to test the find_special method in the following: has_many :foos do def find_special if proxy_owner.baz ... find stuff else ... find other stuff end end end ...
