I cloned rspec source and try to run rake, and got 4 failures after
installing a bunch of gems. So just wonder is there any tutorial or
instruction on how to pass all specs? Thanks.

BTW: the failures are:

Hey Mark,

Thanks for the patch.  Tickets show up in lighthouse, and I subscribe
to the RSS feed (as I'm sure others do), so we do see them.  In the
future, it's not necessary to send a message to the mailing list.

I'd suggest posting (and searching for) a lighthouse ticket, with your  
version of Ruby, OS, etc.

I remember getting similar errors when I built some version of Ruby
myself.  It was either really old or really recent, or it was stuff
with dtrace.  What's the full ruby version info?

Yeah, that's just too old.  Upgrade your XCode / custom ruby install.

Updated to ruby 1.8.6 (2008-03-03 patchlevel 114) [i686-darwin9.2.2]

Now down to 2 failures:

'Spec::Runner::Formatter::HtmlFormatter should produce HTML identical
to the one we designed manually with --diff' FAILED

'Spec::Runner::Formatter::TextMateFormatter functional spec using
--diff should produce HTML identical to the one we designed manually
with --diff' FAILED

Any idea? Thanks

Thanks all. I raked on my Linux box and all specs passed. I guess just
a couple more gems needed on my MBP to get it passing. :)

Now the build still fails because the coverage was 88.6%. Is this
correct? Thanks again.

No. Should be getting 100% coverage.

Subject: [rspec-devel]  Rspec blowing away my initial data
Message-ID: <17697155.post@talk.nabble.com>


I have this code in the only migration I have in my app:

    create_table :states do |generic_table|
      generic_table.with_options :null => false do |t|
        t.string :name
        t.datetime :created_at, :updated_at
      end
    end
    
    State.create!(:name => 'New')
    State.create!(:name => 'Submitting')
    State.create!(:name => 'Reviewing')
    State.create!(:name => 'Implementing')
    State.create!(:name => 'Finished')

When I run `rake test` it builds my test database with the migration I have
correctly.  But then when I run `rake spec` and look at the database, the
initial data (all of the States) are missing.

So my questions are:
1) Does rspec blow away my initial data before it runs tests?

2) How can I get it to stop doing that?

This isn't an rspec feature, every time you run your rails app tests
it will drop the whole database and rebuild it again (based on the
development database) but only the structure will be copied, no data
will be copied and no migrations are run.

If you want to add test data to your specs you should use fixtures
instead or just add your data in a "before" block and remove it in an
"after" block.

Fixtures are evil, at least in my opinion.  And this isn't data I want loaded
in each test, it's data that is basically storing constants in my database. 
I need this to be in the migration, but I don't want to have to enter the
data in the migration and in a fixture as well.

Just copy the code out of the migration and in to a before block?

Could probably just generate a YAML file using to_yaml as well ...  
should be fairly simple. Then just drop it in your spec/fixtures

Or create the fixtures file and load them in the migration and in
rspec -> http://blog.zmok.net/articles/2007/05/29/loading-data-in-migrations

Yes, it is exactly my situation. All I can do is to write a rake task
on my own to run all specs without destroying the db first (instead,
do rake db:migrate:reset)

You could change the tasks to use db:migrate instead of dropping the db.

I didn't always follow Rails convention by keep adding scripts. I just
change existing scripts when needed. I do this when I don't have to
worry about the production yet. :) That's why db:migrate:reset is
needed.

Actually, you won't need to destroy it in the after block as long as  
you have transactional_fixtures = false in spec_helper.rb

The State data looks like seed data, data that the application depends
on to run (as opposed to data created by use of the application).
seed_fu [ http://www.intridea.com/2008/4/20/seed-fu-simple-seed-data-for-rails
] could help, as could some of the choices that the seed_fu article
links to.

Does anyone have a link to a fairly small project that has "up-to-date"
implementations of the Story Runner? I'm trying to get familiarized with it
and I'm not having much luck finding resources ...
I've seen the tutorials and they all seem to refer to the "older" (1.1.1)
patterns used for rails integration tests.

Thanks, guys.

You could look at http://github.com/mvanholstyn/strac/tree/master . It has
old and recent usages of Stories. Just look for files that have been
modified in the past few weeks for the most recent usages.  For example
stories/project_iterations. Step files are stored in
stories/steps/project_iterations/

It looks like my ticket got marked as spam and is not showing up in any

In Spec::Runner::ExampleGroupRunner, this code exists:

# TODO: BT - Deprecate BehaviourRunner?
BehaviourRunner = ExampleGroupRunner

Does this mean ExampleGroupRunner is what is being used going forward, and
BehaviorRunner is for backwards compatibility?

Help please. I'm struggling to find the right word. Here are some  
statements - can you fill in the ???:

The sign of +1 is positive.
The sign of -1 is negative.

The polarity of this magnet is positive.
The polarity of that magnet is negative.

The ??? of the expression "x should y" is positive.
The ??? of the expression "x should not y" is negative.

I've already ruled out 'should-ness' :)

Cheers,
David

How about:

The sense of the expression "x should not y" is negative.

type things in high school.

Also maybe

The tone of the expression "x should y" is positive.
The tone of the expression "x should not y" is negative.

I suggested "sense" because I believe that's sort of the mathematical ...
um... sense!

signicality?
Just kidding, I like tone which has already been suggested.

A look at a thesaurus also yielded: mood, feeling, aura, timbre.  Not sure I
like any of those better than tone though.

Subject: [rspec-devel] Inverse Thinking,
	describing behaviors with contexts rather than in contexts
Message-ID: <85d99afe0806221025v67773e1dm24751d480b8f60ee@mail.gmail.com>

Two friday's ago I was talking to my pair Cabout a pet peeve I have
sometimes. Grouping behaviors by contexts, rather then the inverse.

So I ask you, in regards to describing behavior in a particular context,
have you ever entertained the idea of the describing behavior with a
particular context?

For example here is an example of describing behavior inside of a context:

  describe Trip
    context "with no breakfast expenses"
      it "has $0 for breakfast amount"
    end

    context "with breakfast expenses" do
      it "has a breakfast amount which is the sum total of breakfast
expenses"
    end
  end

And here's an example of describing the behavior with contexts:

  describe Trip
    behavior "computes breakfast amount" do
      context "with no breakfast expenses" do
        it "is $0"
      end

      context "with breakfast expenses" do
        it "is the sum of all breakfast expenses"
      end
    end
  end

The difference is subtle, but it inverts how behaviors are described. It
also groups contexts for a particular behavior together, rather than
grouping the behaviors to a particular context.

It does add another level of verbosity, but it makes my contexts more
meaningful because the setup is directly tied to the behavior I'm testing,
rather than potentially many behaviors which rely on the same setup.

I'm just thinking out loud at this point, but I'm interested in hearing your
thoughts.

Bravo! That's my initial thought.

This all makes sense to me, though there are pros and cons. If you're  
a fan of common setup, this won't work too well. If you're a fan of  
organization/layout for communication, this seems to make sense.

I'm not ready to add behaviour as an alias for context/describe/ 
example_group just yet, but I'd say you should do so in your projects  
- and feel free to write about this in your chapters - just be sure to  
point out both approaches and the pros/cons of each.

Good?

The result of the expression "x should y" is positive.
The result of the expression "x should not y" is
negative.

Or: consequence, outcome

Subject: [rspec-devel] slightly-less-simple-matcher [was: crazy semantic
	question]
In-Reply-To: <26076b36d74f40aaa50b7fa4e4518655.a.schur@nucleus.com>

The ??? of the expression "x should y" is positive.
The ??? of the expression "x should not y" is negative.

So we've got:

sense
outcome
consequence
mood
feeling
aura
timbre
(un)likeliness
(un)likelihood

Let me provide a bit more context. RSpec matchers don't know whether  
they're being called with should or should_not. I'm toying with adding  
that capability such that if the matcher will accept a 2nd argument to  
the matches? method it will be given a hash. Then you can do this:

def matches?(given, options, &block)
   if options[:should_ness] == :positive
     # handle the 'should' case
   else
     # handle the 'should_not' case
   end
end

Although, now that I'm looking at it, it could just be:

def matches?(given, options, &block)
   if options[:called_with] == :should
     # handle the 'should' case
   else
     # handle the 'should_not' case
   end
end

Maybe that solves the problem? Thoughts?

For those interested, this stems from some evolution of the  
simple_matcher method. Right now (in git) you can do this:

def report_to(manager)
   simple_matcher do |employee, matcher|
     matcher.failure_message = "expected #{employee} to report to  
#{manager}"
     employee.reports_to?(manager)
   end
end

Some have expressed a desire to make these more like expectation  
wrappers, where you can put a couple of logical expectations together.  
The example above uses a boolean expression. But what if you wanted to  
do this?

def report_to(manager)
   simple_matcher do |employee, matcher|
     matcher.failure_message = "expected #{employee} to report to  
#{manager} and #{manager} not to report to #{employee}"
     employee.reports_to?(manager).should be_true
     manager.reports_to?(employee).should be_false
   end
end

This actually works ... as long as you only call it with should. If  
you use should_not, you'll get the wrong response, whereas the  
original boolean expression would work fine.

To be able to support this, the matcher *could* be written like this:

def report_to(manager)
   simple_matcher do |employee, matcher|
     if matcher.called_with_should?
       matcher.failure_message = "expected #{employee} to report to  
#{manager}"
       employee.reports_to?(manager).should be_true
       manager.reports_to?(employee).should be_false
     else
       matcher.failure_message = "expected #{employee} to report to  
#{manager} and #{manager} not to report to #{employee}"
       employee.reports_to?(manager).should be_false
     end
   end
end

Now you have a custom matcher that can handle should and should_not  
cases with the appropriate expectations and semantics for each. A bit  
more complex than maybe a simple matcher should be :) And certainly  
not necessary for you to use this way - just available.

Any feedback on this is welcome.

Cheers,
David

I really like "sense" too. I was also playing with "intent", but "positive
intent" and "negative intent" have specific meaning elsewhere in cognitive
psychology. (A statement with negative intent would probably want to do you
harm!)

So my vote is for "sense".

Cheers,
Dan

What about "since" ... or even "cents" ... sorry, spam message, but I  
found it humorous. :)
