No reason they shouldn't. You should get the opportunity to
approve/deny any files that already exist, and the new files will just
get written.

Let us know if you run into any problems.

If its existing models you're dealing with, you probably will want to
add --skip-migration. Just skip over replacing the model.

Subject: [rspec-users] Cucumber for testing web services?
Message-ID: <49FAA767.6020009@eldoy.no>

I am looking for a framework to test web services, and was wondering 
whether Cucumber is ready to do this "out of the box". (Or is Ruby 
knowledge required?.

I have posted a question on Stackoverflow if anyone wants to chip in 
there:

Have you looked at celerity? I'm not sure if webrat has an adapter for  
it yet, but it's a 'headless' browser which drives a lot faster than  
selenium. Some people on this list are getting a lot of joy out of it.

Celerity is very cool - when it works.  It didn't work with out messy
combination of javascript libraries, alas.  (Dojo 0.4-ish for legacy
bits, GWT for new bits) - apparently it will work with either of these
frameworks, but for us, with both, it died mysteriously (and we gave
up trying to fix it due to limited time)

I would suggest taking a look at Culerity a nice wrapper for Celerity 
which takes the headache out of having a non JRuby app use Celerity.

http://github.com/langalex/culerity/tree/master

There is also a Selenium style equivalent -> WebDriver -> a headless 
browser. I've not got round to playing with it yet, but it looks nice

Same problem for me with factory_girl and rspec_rails 1.2.6, work fine
the first time but get a bunch of errors the second.

Any solution? Thanks

I'm creating a class in my spec file to test out a module, but when I  
run the spec a second time in spec_server, I get the error above.

I presume this is because rails is un-loading the class, and it's not  
getting re-loaded properly.

Does anyone have a nice workaround for this?

Yeah, I have had similar experiences with Celerity.  To be fair, it is 
not Celerity's shortcoming but rather it is HTMLUnit's and Rhino's for 
not being able to support all the JS frameworks yet.  If you don't have 
a legacy system though I think Celerity is the way to go for JS testing.

I'm creating a class in my spec file to test out a module, but when I  
run the spec a second time in spec_server, I get the error above.

I presume this is because rails is un-loading the class, and it's not  
getting re-loaded properly as it doesn't have its own file in the  
conventional place.

Does anyone have a nice workaround for this?

oh don't... um.

rspec 1.2.2
rails 2.2.2

we know we need to upgrade but when you have 4798 examples it's not a  
task you undertake lightly!

is that likely to be the problem?

It is likely the problem as the 1.2.6 release includes a spec_server
fix. There shouldn't be any breaking changes from 1.2.2 to 1.2.6
(famous last words) so I'd give that a quick try in a branch and see
how it does.

Hi David,

Sorry, that wasn't clear the way I wrote it. The config.gem directive  
was actually in the rails/environments/test.rb file. Then I required  
the blueprints.rb file in spec_helper (or in factory_girl's case it  
automatically loads the factory files from spec/factories). These  
steps showed that rails model reloading wasn't working in 1.2.2 with  
rails 2.3.2:

>>> $ gem list rails
>>> rails (2.3.2)
>>> $ gem list rspec
>>> rspec (1.2.2)
>>> rspec-rails (1.2.2)
>>> $ rails test_spec_server && cd test_spec_server
>>> $ script/plugin install git://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec-rails.git
>>> $ script/generate rspec
>>> $ script/generate rspec_model car name:string
>>> # edit config/environments/test.rb => config.cache_classes = false
>>> # edit spec/spec.opts => --drb
>>> $ rake spec:server:start
>>> $ script/autospec
>>> # 1 example, 0 failures
>>> # edit app/models/car.rb => add invalid syntax!
>>> # 1 example, 0 failures


I had given up on spec_server for the time being. The ticket is  
resolved now, and I just gave these steps another try with a new app  
using updated versions. Reloading the app classes for each run works  
fine out of the box now: I can get it to return a success or failure  
when I change the model on the fly.


However, the problem comes when adding Factory Girl:

# config/environments/test.rb
# add:
   config.gem "thoughtbot-factory_girl", :lib => 'factory_girl'

# spec/factories/car.rb
   Factory.define :car do |f|
     f.name "Jetta"
   end

# spec/models/car_spec.rb
   it "should create a new instance given valid attributes" do
     car = Factory :car
     car.name.should == 'Jetta'
   end


It runs fine the first time against drb, but on all subsequent runs I  
get the following error until I restart spec_server. None of the lines  
in the stacktrace say "rspec" but I was also getting the same error  
with Machinist too, so it's not unique to Factory Girl, and I'm  
guessing something to do with the reloading.

You will probably not want the color so you can use the --no-color 
flag.  FYI, you can specify multiple formatters if you need to.  
"cucumber --help" for more.

bmabey at BenzII:~/$ cucumber --help
Usage: cucumber [options] [ [FILE|DIR|URL][:LINE[:LINE]*] ]+

Examples:
cucumber examples/i18n/en/features
cucumber --language it examples/i18n/it/features/somma.feature:6:98:113
cucumber -n -i http://rubyurl.com/eeCl
...
...



So, to run a single scenario you just need to specify it's line number 
with the colon syntax. "cucumber features/something.feature:42"

Using the cucumber binary is the preferred way of running cucumber.  I 
like to reserve using the rake task for CI servers.

Subject: [rspec-users]  Rspec-rails without ActiveRecord framework failure
Message-ID: <23338988.post@talk.nabble.com>


Hello,

Our project is not using ActiveRecord and so I've removed database.yml and
added this line to the environment.rb file:
  config.frameworks -= [ :active_record ]

Although I see in the rspec-rails source several places where the existence
of ActiveRecord::Base is checked, I am still getting the following exception
when running my specs:

uninitialized constant Spec::Matchers::Change::ActiveRecord

When I comment out the code in
rspec-rails-1.2.6/lib/spec/rails/matchers/change.rb, this error disappears.

Is this expected behavior?  If not, is there a workaround I could use until
the issue is resolved?  I tried undoing the method chain defined in that
file (by a monkeypatch in spec_helper.rb) but it unsurprisingly fails
because I'm guessing the method is aliased later in the code execution
sequence.

Thanks for any input,
Matt

Hi,

Given the hook:

After do |scenario|

end

How do I get the name of the scenario from the scenario parameter?

scenario.name doesn't  work, and I looked through the source code and
it was not immediately obvious to me.

Thanks

Can you please file a bug report at http://rspec.lighthouseapp.com? I
need to fix something else and do another rspec-rails release over the
weekend (before RC) and I'll fix this one in the same release. Don't
know about a workaround this minute, but when i look at the ticket
later I'll put one in there.

Cheers,
David

to_sexp should do it for now, but I'll file a ticket as #name would be
useful.

What I've found is that occasionally when there is a problem loading
the base class, the errors become very cryptic.
You can get to the base error by adding a very simple spec in the form of:
it "" { ... }

In my specific case, my model was in a different schema and so
ActiveRecord couldn't find the table in the database.

Setting up cucumber inside a Rails project is no more difficult than
running script/generate cucumber.  But what does one do when working
without Rails at all?  How do you generate the features tree and all of
its default files?

I don't know if this will interest anyone, but I thought it was a
pretty cool use of Cucumber :)

I've posted a Blog article on how I use Cucumber to test an Erlang
Server directly by talking to my Erlang Nodes.

http://blog.wolfman.com/articles/2009/5/2/using-cucumber-to-test-erlang-servers

It uses Cucumber running under JRuby which uses JInterface to talk to
the Erlang servers.

I hope someone else finds this a fascinating use of Cucumber ;)

Hi list,

I actually just noticed it a couple of days ago. I was able to resolve
it by building and installing the rspec gem, so there is an apparent
dependency on that being present. We're going to be re-vamping (read
*simplifying*) the whole rspec-dev setup in the next month or so, so
I'm not going to try to fix this right now, but installing the gem
should solve it for you.

Cheers,
David

Yeah, "mkdir -p features/support && mkdir -p features/step_defnintions 
&& touch features/support/env.rb" is really all you need.

However, for new projects I really like to use jeweler to bootstrap all 
the setup for Cucumber, RSpec, Rakefiles, etc...  With jeweler you just 
say "jeweler cool_gem --cucumber --rspec" and all of this gets generated 
for you:
    create    .gitignore
    create    Rakefile
    create    LICENSE
    create    README.rdoc
    create    .document
    create    lib
    create    lib/cool_gem.rb
    create    spec
    create    spec/spec_helper.rb
    create    spec/cool_gem_spec.rb
    create    features
    create    features/cool_gem.feature
    create    features/support
    create    features/support/env.rb
    create    features/step_definitions
    create    features/step_definitions/cool_gem_steps.rb

Hi,

Using Ruby on Rails, let's says I have an Article model and Comment
model. An Article has_many :comments,

Using Rais idiom, one would do something like that in the
comments_controller/create:

@article = Article.find(params[:id])
@article.comments.create(params[:comment])

I don't like too much this approach because it puts too much
intelligence into the controller and  it's not easy to test/spec/mock.

So I'd like to push this into a model. So would you tell Article model
to create a new Comment given params[:comment], or would you tell
Comment to create a new Comment given an article_id?

>From a BDD point of view, only creating a new comment record is what
counts, but I'd like to be more careful about Demeter, encapsulation,

You know what'd be awesome?

If Cucumber scenarios were referential.

I mean, wouldn't it be awesome if you could refer to them... so you  
could build on them...

So in a login.feature I'd define:

Scenario: logging in
Given that a default user exists
And I am on the login page
When I fill in "username" with "username"
And I fill in "password" with "password"
Then I should be logged in

And then in a different feature somewhere else, I could say:

another.feature

Scenario: make toast
Given Scenario "logging in"
Given I am on the exciting logged in page
Then I .... blah blah blah

and so on...

Julian.

Hi Julian,
You can do just that, the scenarios stack like that quite well, and it is
reasonable to call a step from another, but you should  have something like

Scenario: Logging In
Given there is a user
When I visit the login page
And I fill in username with .......
And I fill in passowrd with ........
Then I should be logged in as .......

Scenario: Visiting Account Page
Given I am logged in
When I visit the account page
Then I should see my account settings

... "Given I am logged in" you define to call in turn each of the step
matchers you wrote to satisfy the first scenario.

.. does that fit your expectations / workflow?

Believe it or not, this exact feature did exist in Cucumber at one time 
but was deprecated and is now removed.  You can find a good explanation 
of the reasoning behind that decision and what are the better 
alternatives on Joseph's blog:

Fair enough.

The steps from step definitions one is the best approach for what I  
want, and it's actually what am doing, but I do notice that there's a  
lot of the time when I'm actually re-typing the same text (ie once in  
the explicit explanation of what it means to log in, and then once  
more in the step definitions to refer to that login procedure) when I  
do this approach. Re-typing the same stuff is pretty retarded, and  
never a good idea.

Hence... my interest in this feature :)

How about this... Whenever I refer to other steps from within my  
steps, they should be printed out on the output line... tabbed in a  
bit, like so:

Given I am logged in:
	Given a default user exists
	And I am on the login page
	And I fill in "username" with "username"
	And I fill in "password" with "password"
	Then I should be on the superduper page
Given...
When...
Then...

Then the option to turn this feature off or on on the command line.

That'd be bloody brilliant. Okay so maybe I should go fork it and do  
it :)

Julian.

Subject: [rspec-users] Problem verifying routing error
Message-ID: <49FCAAA6.6040600@yahoo.com>

Hi,

When upgrading to rspec/rspec-rails 1.2.6 gem (from 1.1.12), I'm having
a new problem verifying routes that should not exist.

This is to support something like this in routes.rb:

map.resources :orders do |orders|
    orders.resources :items, :except => [:index,:show]
end

I used to use lambda {}.should_raise( routing error ), but it stopped
detecting any raised error.  Requesting it through the browser produces
ActionController::MethodNotAllowed (Only post requests are allowed). But
that error wasn't detected.

When I skip the lambda, and just ask it to verify that the route does
exist (which *should* fail), I get the same result for those :except
actions as for a made-up action name.  Seems this must have something to
do with the change in how route_for delegates back to ActionController's
routing assertion (sez the backtrace :).


NoMethodError in 'ItemsController route generation should NOT map
#indewfefwex'
You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.first
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.2.2/lib/action_controller/assertions/routing_assertions.rb:134:in

`assert_recognizes'
./spec/controllers/thoughts_routing_spec.rb:9:


I tried using bypass_rescue in my routing/items_routing_spec.rb file as
mentioned by the upgrade doc, but it wasn't valid in the "routing" spec
- worked fine when I moved the file back to spec/controllers/, though. 
Seems like that's not the issue, but I'm mentioning for more completeness.

Any ideas what I should be doing instead, or how I can troubleshoot further?

Thanks,

Randy

Thank you for your experience. I myself used to wrap these kind of 
associations but I felt it started to clutter the Model file, so I 
started to use association callbacks.

My heart balances between both ideas. Anyway if attr_accessible is used, 
then you must write a wrapper, but in other cases? Which is the most 
effective / maintainable / etc is still to be questioned.

Honestly, each time something backfired at me in a very unexpected 
manner, it was due to the fact that somewhere far far away I had broken 
Demeter's law. So I'd like to get this fixed once and for all.

We would definitely want it as a feature you could turn on or off.  By 
default I think it should be off.  I think it adds a lot of noise to the 
feature output.  In most cases I don't care what the exact steps of 
logging in are.  How I log in can change and it doesn't really effect 
this scenario at all.  What is important is that you are logged in- not 
how you got there.  So this is probably not a feature I would personally 
use.  (Especially, given that I don't use steps within steps a whole 
lot.)  That said it seems like a reasonable request... Any other 
opinions on the suggested feature?  Should we move the discussion to 
lighthouse?

For what it's worth, I believe that ARMailer requires you to change
your base class for mailers from ActionMailer::Base to
ActionMailer::ARMailer, which makes it difficult to use ARMailer only
in your test environment. However, the adzap-ar_mailer[1] fork
supports using the ActionMailer::Base base class, which makes it easy
to use ARMailer only for testing (by specifying it in config/
environments/test.rb) while using another delivery mechanism for
development/production.

Subject: [rspec-users] [rspec]. Inexplicable error in simple specs
Message-ID: <0ddfe68313e8de5198edce3d5929b901@ruby-forum.com>

Hello.

I am having strange errors running some specs.

I have just installed the nifty_scaffolds gem from Ryan Bates, and ran
"script/generate nifty_authentication --rspec --haml", I have prepared
the databases, and run the specs, and I have almost all the specs
failing.
The odd thing is that it only fails when I run all the spec together,
but not
when I ran models and controllers independently.

"rake spec:models" pass for all the specs
"rake spec:controllers" pass for all the specs.

But "rake spec" fails in a dozen of model tests. Also "autospec" fails.

The code seems clear and ok, and I can't understand why even simple
specs for require presence of a field fails.

I have only notice as unusual the use of view integration in the
controllers specs. Does anyone know about something I can be missing?

Thanks
Juanma

Thanks, this is a work in progress it should get more sophisticated as
I write more features.

BTW Aslak this is why I needed the scenario name in the After hook, I
get a lot of Erlang messages which get stored, and the Steps should
test for them and consume them off the queue, however as Erlang and
messages are totally asynchronous, I don't want to print them out when
they come in, or in the After hook, as that screws up the Scenario
Outline reports.

Hence they are stored and printed in the at_exit hook.

Using cucumber to debug asynchronous processes will probably introduce
a lot of interesting edge cases ;)

Thanks

Well
It seems that the problem is not with the view integration but with the 
fixtures.
I didn't know if the fixtures loaded in the spec of a controller may 
affect the specs of the model, but they indeed do.
I thought each spec runs in its own database transaction and the data 
does not affect other spec. Is it true?
Thanks

Assuming everything is set up correctly, yes. But there are several
things that could break that, including:

* the wrong configuration in spec/spec_helper.rb
* the wrong type of database tables in mysql (gotta use innodb)
* setting up fixtures in before(:all) instead of before(:each)

Also, this sort of thing is often a sign that the either the examples
are leaking state by setting up globals, or the app itself might be
doing so.

HTH,
David

I think this could be a useful debugging feature, although less  
compelling since Cucumber started reporting failures in steps called  
from steps the same way as steps called in a feature file.  But  
sometimes it's useful to see in finer detail what Cucumber is doing.

One thing I wrestle with frequently is making scenarios fail fast and  
transparently.  Assumptions about what exactly is going on creep in,  
and often, the step that reports failure is not the one that  
fundamentally caused it.  Anything to make that assumption-breaking  
easier would be valuable IMHO.

What I ended up doing is dumping the deliveries array to a file from the 
standalone script and reading it into the deliveries array inside the 
step definitions file. A kludge, but it suffices.

Fine for those that know cucumber inside out.  A bit sparse for the rest 
of creation.

What I ended up doing was copying an example directory tree from the 
cucumber gem and deleting most of it.  It would be useful for non-Rails 
users of cucumber if cucumber itself had an option to copy a template 
directory tree from the gem into a project root. In other words:

$ cd project_root
$ tree
.
|-- bin
|-- doc
`-- lib
$
$ cucumber --initialize
$ tree

Hm, snippet from long `p spec` (from my prev email):
 @dependencies=[#<Gem::Dependency:0xb7c922fc @version_requirement=nil, @name="hoe", @version_requirements=#<Gem::Requirement:0xb7c922c0 @version=nil, @requirements=[[">=", #<Gem::Version

So your dependency is/was runtime-only, it seems.
But the stuff got fixed in the meantime!
I'm guessing it's the rubygems upgrade on my system.

Subject: [rspec-users] [cucumber] Assertions about current location in Then
	steps
Message-ID: <49FDE23C.7040703@timfischbach.de>

Hello,

is there currently a way to make assertions about the current location
in Then steps? Here's an example of what I would like to do:

  Scenario: Creating a post
    Given I am on the the posts page
    When I fill in ...
    And ...
    Then I should be on the homepage

I have seen many cases where the last assertion is replaced by a 'Then I
should see "<something that is on the expected page>"'. But I can't help
but feel that depending on the specific wording is way to brittle. And
since I could also check the current location by looking at the address
bar (if I ran the test manually) I guess it would not be a violation if
cucumber did (as opposed to checking for records in the database etc).

Thoughts?

Tim

Message-ID: <1E477BD0-720C-49CD-98B9-3ED6FD155ACC@gmail.com>

I'm just curious about this, since my solution involved stubbing a  
call to GeoIp.

Is there a good rule of thumb for when you make exceptions to the 'no  
stubbing' philosophy of Cucumber?

My step was: "Given I am accessing the site from Japan," but I can  
think of other situations - mostly when interacting with web services,  
that I'd probably want to stub something, rather than requiring a net  
connection for testing.

thanks for any advice,

I realize this.  I am not complaining. I just think that for a modest 
amount of effort cucumber could be made self starting for the large 
number of people who do not have any prior experience with either Rails 
or Cucumber and who probably do not know about jeweller and newgem.  I 
had no idea such things existed or were possible until I received 
replies to this thread.

I still recall the vast amounts of time it took me to get going with 
cucumber and BDD. And that was with the benefit of the Rails generators 
that at least set me up with a skeleton to work from.  I think it would 
be useful to offer non-Rails users a similar facility.

I'm in a similar boat as Matt.  My app does geocoding using Andre  
Lewis' excellent geokit gem (and the Rails plugin).  That stuff hits  
web-based geocoders (Google in my case).  I also scrape other web sites.

So, in order to make my testing executable without a net connection  
and avoid extra traffic on other folks' sites from my tests, I stub  
out the actual net call with code like this:

def stub_geocode_lookup(address,datafile)
   @xml = File.read(RAILS_ROOT + "/spec/fixtures/geocodes/" + datafile)
   response = MockSuccess.new
   response.stubs(:body).returns(@xml)
   stub_google_call(address,response)
end

def stub_google_call(address,response)
   url = "http://maps.google.com/maps/geo? 
q 
= 
#{Geokit 
::Inflector 
::url_escape 
(address)}&output=xml&key=#{Geokit::Geocoders::google}&oe=utf-8"
    
Geokit 
::Geocoders 
::GoogleGeocoder 
.stubs(:call_geocoder_service).with(url).returns(response)
end


I also make use of FakeWeb in a couple places to do a similar thing  
for the scraping of sites.  I have a rake task that grabs fresh  
versions of the pages I'm going to scrape and deposits it into my spec/ 
fixtures directory.  If I run that every couple of days, I reduce my  
risk of having my fixture data diverge too far from what the  
production app actually sees.

It's possibly worth pointing out for anyone else who needs to do
stubbing, that you don't necessarily need a framework to stub stuff; I
have cucumber tests that stub out some setup code in my app*, and they
just use monkey-patching to do the stubbing.

For instance, in the example below, you could just do:
module Geokit
  module Geocoders
    class GoogleGeocoder
      def call_geocoder_service(url)
        ... do whatever is needed to return appropriate test data
      end
    end
  end
end

You could even use alias_method to rename the original
call_geocoder_service and call it if it got an unexpected url.

I'm not sure which is better - this at least saves you from a
dependency on an external stubbing/mocking framework.  But it could be
seen as uglier.

- Korny
* I know, this is not ideal, but it's testing a one-off migration
script, and I didn't really want to make the script setup code
generic, just to make the tests cleaner.

Hi,

Before I do anything stupid, I'd like to know if there are any gotchas
when using Rails observers instead of writing my own methods or
callbacks? Are they easy to spec/test or will I run into troubles? Are
they easily mockable?

Fernando,

They are easier to spec with Pat Maddox's "no peeping toms" plugin.

I use Pat's no-peeping-toms plugin as well. It's a great tool in Rails toolbox.

Brandon Keepers has made some additional enhancements which are nice:

http://github.com/collectiveidea/no-peeping-toms/tree/master

I don't know if he has requested Pat to pull them in, but Pat if
you're listening please check them out and consider pulling them in.
As much as I like the ability to fork there's something to be said
about having a consistent *official* home for plugins. ;)

This is an rspec-rails extension of ActiveRecord. It's not cucumber
(or rspec-core).

Try this (no guarantees):

require 'spec/rails/extensions/active_record/base'

That's where it's defined right now, though it might move in the
future. If it works, please file a feature request at lighthouse and
I'll see what I can do about exposing it somewhere more intuitive and
permanent.

Thanks,
David

Don't mock the Geolp library directly. Wrap it with an API that fits
your domain better. Then write a very simple object that implements
the same API but doesn't hit the network. You can use a switch
somewhere in env.rb to use your fake implementation or the Geolp one.

My absolute favorite solution for this:
http://github.com/chrisk/fakeweb/tree/master

I use that in an application I'm building that uses Twitter's OAuth,
and otherwise heavily uses the Twitter API. It allows me to easily
fake out all of Twitter's responses so I can do
unit/integration/acceptance tests (with Cucumber and WebRat for the
latter) without touching the network.

As a matter of good practice, I always do this first:

FakeWeb.allow_net_connect = false

That ensures that any outbound HTTP requests that I forgot to fake out
will cause FakeWeb to blow up in my face and let me know that I've
missed something rather than silently letting it go by.

Hi again.  I haven't heard any responses on this thread (is this thing

Is there any known pattern for verifying a route that *doesn't* exist,
as of Rspec 1.2.6?

Thanks,

Message-ID: <7b561b930905051329h6aeaea1erf4cca8ed8f1d2f10@mail.gmail.com>

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, Google was not very helpful
to me on this one. If I'm running a model spec and am one of those
benighted souls who wants to hit the DB while doing so, is there a way
for me to tell RSpec to skip transactions? In Test::Unit I can say
"uses_transaction :test_should_do_something", but am not sure what the
analogous thing would be in RSpec.

Thanks in advance,
Francis

Actually, I do have my own object wrapping GeoIp, and I stubbed the  
method on that object that returns a country code for me.
I can see maybe creating another object to be used in the test  
environment, but I can't see what advantages that offers over using  
the rspec mocking framework.

Subject: [rspec-users] cucumber segfaults
Message-ID: <1F817FAF-D906-4BD7-BC81-6DB993781A7D@gmail.com>

Just started getting this, every time I run rake features:

myapp/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/vendor/rack-1.0/ 
rack/lint.rb:16: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-03-03) [i686-darwin9.2.2]

after updating from cucumber 0.3.0 to 0.3.2 I'm now getting the  
segfault here:

myapp/vendor/gems/nokogiri-1.2.3/lib/nokogiri/xml/node_set.rb:138:  
[BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-03-03) [i686-darwin9.2.2]

While trying to ascertain a cause, I discovered something weird.
It seems to be related to the number of scenarios I'm running.
I had 11 scenarios, and I was getting the error every time.
I tried to isolate a cause, but the bug would not happen for any  
individual scenario. I thought maybe there's some combination effect,  
so I started grouping them.
I can get the error to happen about 50% of the time if I have 3 or 4  
scenarios (10-12 steps)
It happens 100% of the time with more than 6 scenarios.
It happens 0% with any of the individual scenarios.

any ideas how to debug this?

have_selector is from webrat and there is a separate webrat google

Any thoughts on what uses_transaction wants as an argument? I can't
help but feel like I've tried 10 combinations of ways to do this, and
there's some 11th way that will be easy but I haven't thought to try.

For context, my code doesn't even use transactions; it's using a 2nd
DB connection to a slave DB, which will be different in some envs and
not others. This seems to get tripped up by transactions since the
master connection makes a change to the DB and the slave connection
needs to see it right away. (Yes I know in production there are
latency issues, that's acceptable in this case.)

I use them quite a bit, and really like them - I factor them out of  
repetitive tests to make little DSLs for testing specific things.

Can you give us a couple of examples of what you're trying to do?

Why not write a wrapper step, something like

Given /I submit the billing address form with valid data/ do
   submit_form {
     :email => 'mickey_mouse at test.com',
     :firstName => 'Mickey'} # etc
end

And call that from your feature? Do you really need to see all the  
fields in the formatted output? Are they relevant to the particular  
scenario you're building, or just noise?

Yeah, that worked for me, thanks. And for whatever reason nesting was
part of the problem, but if I put it all in one top-level describe
with the examples below it worked fine.

Hey all,

Has anyone else had any issues with trying to get APPLICATION code  
debugging when using cucumber, selenium & webrat?

I can debug steps just fine, but debugs in application code get  
skipped over under selenium for some reason.

Is this usual?

Julian.

Well it's out of process, so that might have something to do with it.

I don't know how webrat starts the mongrel to serve pages to selenium,  
but that's where you'd need to look. I suggest you ask on the webrat  
mailing list about this.

Hi,

We're using Rails 2.3.2, and debugger doesn't seem to work in cucumber/ 
webrat running selenium mode. Has anyone else had this issue?

It seems to be skipping the debugger methods

Hi
Thanks for information.
It helped me a lot.
bascically using cucumber framework(using stdoutput) i want to capture 
Failed testcase along with log and passed testcasenames.
Is there any plugin supported by cucumber ?
atleast to generated xml of html or text log for passed and failed 
testcase.

Because --o FILENAME just write standout to the given file.

Thanks,

Message-ID: <9f7f32ad-2bf8-4331-9943-7f28c80685c0@o20g2000vbh.googlegroups.com>

Alright, I'm trying to get up to speed with using Rspec, Webrat,
Mechanize and Cucumber to test a non rails application.

The RSpec Matchers (I think) seem to not be working as expected. When
I run my feature, it says the world cannot find the method "contain"

I have the following gems installed:
cucumber 0.3.2
rspec 1.2.6
mechanize 0.9.2
webrat 0.4.4

My feature is as follows:
Feature: Google
	In order to buy a sweet new laptop
	As a apple enthusiest
	I want to find apple.com

	Scenario: Search for apple
		Given I visit "http://www.google.com"
		When I fill in "q" with "apple.com"
		And I press "Google Search"
		Then I should see "www.apple.com"

#env.rb
require 'webrat'

Webrat.configure do |config|
  config.mode = :mechanize
end

require 'webrat/core/matchers'
require 'webrat/mechanize'
class MechanizeWorld < Webrat::MechanizeSession
  require 'spec'
  include Spec::Matchers
end

World do
  MechanizeWorld.new
end

#webrat_steps
...
Given /^I visit "(.*)"$/ do |url|
    visit(url)
end

When I run the feature, everything passes except for the last step,
"should see"
Then /^I should see "([^\"]*)"$/ do |text|
  response.should contain(text)
end

The error it gives is:

    Then I should see "www.apple.com"
      undefined method `contain' for #<MechanizeWorld:0x429aa64>
(NoMethodError)
      ./features/step_definitions/webrat_steps.rb:94:in `/^I should
see "([^\"]*)"$/'
      features/google.feature:10:in `Then I should see
"www.apple.com"'

As far as I know, contain is an rspec matcher which is getting
included in MechanizeWorld, but it doesn't seem to be working
properly.

Any ideas?

I'm busy experimenting with RSpec and encountered a small issue with
the scaffolding.

As soon as I chooce mocha as my mocking framework in the spec helper
the specs created with rspec_scaffold fail. Is this a bug or do the
rspec_generators only work with the default mocking framework ?
I've tested it on a clean rails app to make sure it wasn't something
else.

Kind regards,
Jeroen

Hi All,

I have a question about the rspec_scaffold and if it's compatible with
other mocking frameworks.
I just created a blank application and a scaffold of a very basic
model. The specs run fine untill I choose to use mocha in the
spec_helper.

Can somebody please tell me if this is ment to be and if so if there's
an easy way to make the scaffold work with mocha ?

Thanks in advance!
Jeroen

Hi.

I realised that it was because I was simply running the server  
automatically - when I manually started it, I got access to the  
debugger server. All good.

Thanks

Not only that, he did it in <html> so it was impossible for

+1 from me, too.

I'm adding a request: cut out the paragraphs of the email
that you are not responding to. I'm encountering plenty of
emails that don't fit on my screen (which is much bigger than
an iPhone) and turn out to contain not much more than
"yes", "thanks" or "see lighthouse <url>".

Rails noops the debugger method by default with a method which just
logs the call. If Kernel already has a debugger method then it
doesn't.

If you run script/server with the -u / --debugger option, then it
requires 'ruby-debug' and calls ::Debugger.start during
initialization.

Rails 2.3 does this by inserting a rack app which just does this.

David C. and I put support for the -u/--debugger options for the spec
command a few releases back, I don't know if this has any effect on
cucumber.

Hi all,

Sorry if this get's posted several times but I got a message that my
previous post wasn't allowed because I'm not a member. I think I am
now though.

The problem I have is fairly simple. I have some plugins who use rspec
and mocha and I want to make use of the rspec_scaffold generator.
Unfortunately this doesn't work, the tests fail as soon as I set mocha
as my prefered mocking framework.

Is this by design or should it work out of the box.

If anybody knows about a generator that does work, please let me know

All the best!
Jeroen

Subject: [rspec-users] [RSpec] implicit receiver for should problem when
 helper predicate methods are in use
Message-ID: <23432383.post@talk.nabble.com>


I just upgraded RSpec and noticed that some of my specs started to fail and
it is caused by the 1.1.2 update where implicit receiver for should is
introduced.

Here is one sample example group, which works with older versions naturally.

describe "example group" do
	it "example" do
         should be_ok
       end
	
	def ok?
	  true
	end
end

And gets NoMethodError of course. I tried different things to set as
subject, but was unlucky. For example, subject {self} caused
SystemStackError although I hoped that this does the trick, since self has
method ok? as expected.

I also noticed that there is accessor for subject, so I tried something like
this instead of def ok?:

def subject.ok?
   true
end

Why doesn't it work? It works when doing like this:
s = "str"
def s.ok?; true; end
s.ok? # true

I found only one way to fix them like this:
class String
    def ok?
	true
    end
end

Of course I'm not happy with that solution :)

What are my options to fix these specs? It seems to me that most logical
functionality to this problem would be to make the subject {self} line to
work as expected.

They only work with rspec's mock framework.

Generators are a good way to look at some example code, and not much  
else.   I wouldn't advise using it.

You need to use 'Scenario Outline', not 'Scenario' if you're using an  
Examples table. I think that's the problem.

Okay, I fiddled around a little and made this solution:
module Spec
  module Example
    module Subject
      module ExampleMethods

        def should(matcher=nil)
          if matcher
            self == subject ?
Spec::Expectations::PositiveExpectationHandler.handle_matcher(self,
matcher) : subject.should(matcher)
          else
            self == subject ?
Spec::Expectations::PositiveExpectationHandler.handle_matcher(self) :
subject.should
          end
        end

        def should_not(matcher=nil)
          if matcher
            self == subject ?
Spec::Expectations::NegativeExpectationHandler.handle_matcher(self,
matcher) : subject.should_not(matcher)
          else
            self == subject ?
Spec::Expectations::NegativeExpectationHandler.handle_matcher(self) :
subject.should_not
          end
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

In short, if subject is set as self then I'm calling Kernel::should
method's body directly. I don't know if there's any side effects that
I'm omitting block parameter (although original should and should_not
also doesn't send any blocks).

Any problems that might arise with this patch?

Also, if my original example wasn't real life example enough, then I
will give another one:
require 'watir'

describe "Google" do
   subject {self}

   before :all do
     @b = Watir::Browser.new
     @b.goto "http://www.google.com"
  end

  it "has google written on page" do
    should have_text("Google")
  end

  def has_text? text
    @b.text.include?(text)
  end

end

PS! I changed my poster nick, but I'm still the same "juuser" who made
original thread.

Jarmo

I don't understand why you want these to pass in the first place. Can
you give an example of where the receiver should be the example
itself?

The first problem is the dependency on subject, which is a construct
from rspec's example groups. This would make rspec's matchers unusable
outside rspec.

I'm also not clear on what your goal is, per my earlier response.
Please help me understand.

Subject: [rspec-users] Sharing common Cuke steps
Message-ID: <F23F5D3E-A6A0-45CD-BD3D-66F1321C54AD@mikedoel.com>

Cucumber is awesome and destined to rule the world.  As that starts to  
happen, has there been any thought of a mechanism for the community to  
build a library of common, generally useful steps that can be used  
across projects?  I've got stuff that I use for myself at:

http://github.com/mdoel/cukesteps/tree/master

This is stuff that I wish were in the default webrat_steps.rb file  
that you get at the start.  Would it be better to fork Cucumber and  
add them there and send a pull request to Aslak?

It seems to me that there's an opportunity for packaging together and  
sharing steps, but am curious of folks thoughts on the best way to go  
about this.

I think that I don't understand what you mean by that exactly. I mean,
I patched the should and should_not methods in moule
Subject::ExampleMethods themselves, which means that this changes only
behaviour of subject itself e.g. it is already part of RSpec and don't
see how it would break matchers outside of RSpec. Please correct me if
i'm wrong.

Anyway, wasn't that Watir example good enough? I think that You're
right when You think that this thing should not be needed when testing
Ruby code with RSpec, but as soon as I start using Watir or some
similar tool, then I need to write bunch of helper methods to make my
specs less verbose. Let me try to make it more clear.

module WatirHelperMethods
    def has_text? text
      text.is_a?(Regexp) ? $browser.text =~ text :
$browser.text.include?(text)
    end

    def login user_id
      # do something so user would be logged in
    end

    def logged_in? user_id
      # return true if user is logged in
    end

    def start_browser_on_url url
      $browser = Browser.new
      $browser.goto url
    end
end

describe "my test" do
    include WatirHelperMethods

    before :all do
      start_browser_on_url "http://url"
    end

    it "should log user into application" do
      login "testuser"
      should be_logged_in
      should have_text("Welcome testuser")
   end

   after :all do
     $browser.close
   end
end

Something like this. Do You see where I'm going? Or am I doing
something what I ain't suppose to do ever? Should I just make
WatirHelperMethods as a class instead of module so it would work like
this: helper = HelperClass.new($browser); helper.login "testuser"...?
Doesn't remove much of a verboseness also.

I have also another question: why the should and should_not methods in
Spec::Example::Subject::ExampleMethods have this if statement anyway?
I mean, the matcher argument has it's default value as nil and it is
also as nil on Kernel#should(_not) method so this if doesn't make
sense to me. Can't it just be written as subject.should(matcher)? Or
is it just some code block which is written like that because of some
3rd party tools?

Great stuff, Mike.

I had a similar thought a while back, but it never really took off:
http://www.mail-archive.com/rspec-users at rubyforge.org/msg07936.html

I feel like this might be better suited to being a separate project,  
as you'll eventually have steps that are only relevant in certain  
contexts (we have quite a few that depend on factory_girl, for  
example), and it's likely to change at a different rate to the core  
cucumber code.

It's almost like you want a kind of plug-in mechanism for sharing re- 
usable step libraries.

This is pretty helpful, thanks for a more thorough explanation. I did
add your patch locally, however, and it doesn't seem to solve the
problem (I still get undefined method `ok?' when I run the example in
your 2nd post).

I need to think about this some more before I agree to go in this
direction, as I want to make sure there are no negative impacts that
I'm not thinking of right now. That said, I'd need a patch w/ specs
that fail without this change and pass with this change. Please file a
ticket at http://rspec.lighthouseapp.com w/ a patch.

Cheers,
David

Sorry. It didn't work because I didn't have subject {self} there.

Message-ID: <2dd99fdb726b853b3e7c14e875ee17a6@ruby-forum.com>

Hello,

     I am trying to execute controller spec but it gives me error which
says

     @controller is nil: make sure you set it in your test's setup
method.

I tried to search for the solution but till now no success :(

Following is the description of the controller spec.

describe ChannelCategoriesController do

  context "Admin" do

    before(:each) do
      @cha_category = ChannelCategory.new
    end

      it "should delete categories" do
        delete :destroy, :id => 1
      end
 end
end

Please advice :-)

Has anyone got RCov working with Ruby 1.9.1? The rcov gem won't even
install, and the spicycode-rcov gem crashes.
It would be nice to still benefit from rcovs features.

So are you saying we'd put the steps in a gem, then include them using  
require?

So I can do this in my env file:

	gem 'cucumber-steps'

	require 'cucumber/steps/webrat'
	require 'cucumber/steps/factory_girl'

or in another project that uses the command line:

	gem 'cucumber-steps'

	require 'cucumber/steps/console'

Is that the kind of thing you mean? I think it would be good to allow  
for steps that cater to different use cases to all be in the same  
library but allow you to pick and chose the ones that are relevant to  
your project.

Have you seen Scenario Outlines? I think this is exactly kind of stuff  
that should be surfaced in a Cucumber test, but you need to organise  
your steps to facilitate that. Tools like Scenario Outline really help.

I went down the route of using Scenario Outlines for this, and it
still became messy. There are simply too many cases to cover and the
tables you build up become long and redundant. After a while they all
look start to blur together and look alike. I think these kind of
things belong in controller specs where you can be confident resources
are being protected, but you can also extract out nice little macros.
For example, you might end up with:

desribe PeopleController, "GET index" do
   should_allow_logged_in_access_to :superuser
end

You could use a convention of the controller description to determine
the method and the action to hit, or you could parametrize your macro:

    should_allow_logged_in_access_to :get, :index, :roles => [:superuser]

I'd recommend not specifying the roles that are denied since if you
had one you'd have to do potentially change every controller spec in
your app. Rather I'd have the macro try a non-allowed role to ensure
it didn't work for other roles.

In the Rails Controllers chapter in The RSpec Book there is a section
on extracting out a should_require_login macro which walks through
step by step the same technique I'd use for writing the macro you
want.

It worked well at the time but I can't make it work with cucumber 0.3.2.

module Cucumber
  module Netbeans
    class Runner
      def initialize(cucumber_opts=nil)
        @argv = []
        @cucumber_opts = cucumber_opts || " --profile default"
      end

      def run_scenario(line_number)
        @cucumber_opts << " --line #{line_number}"
        run

      def run_feature(feature)
        @argv << "#{feature}"
        run
      end

      protected

      def run                
        @argv << @cucumber_opts
        puts %Q{cucumber #{@argv.join(' ')} \n}
        Cucumber::Cli::Main.execute(@argv)
      end
    end
  end
end

Cucumber::Netbeans::Runner.new().run_feature
"features/_admin/projects.feature"

I wonder if fellow netbeans on cucumber users will have an idea ...
Ironically, debugging that script with netbeans crashes the debugger at
Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/polyglot-0.2.5/lib/polyglot.rb:54 

For the time being, I am using the "old school" ruby-debug which works
pretty well ...

Questions:

* ruby version
* rspec version
* rails version
* OS
* what's the path to the file
* how are you running the spec (rake, spec command, etc)
* pls provide a full backtrace
  * best in a gist or pastie
  * script/spec path/to/file --backtrace

Cheers,

Hmm.. yeah, it seems like it might have to do with how the exceptions 
are being handled in the newer version of rspec-rials (see 
https://rspec.lighthouseapp.com/projects/5645/tickets/85-11818-have-mode-for-rails-error-handling).  
I don't use RSpec to verify my routes very often and have never used it 
to verify the non-existence of a route so I'm afraid I don't really have 
any ideas...

Does anyone else have an idea to do this?

Okay, I guess I can do this with shared examples.  I added to my 
spec_helper.rb:

describe "an admin user is signed in", :shared => true do
  before( :each ) do
    @admin_user = Factory(:admin_user)
    login_as @admin_user
  end
end

and then in each controller that needs that behavior:

  it_should_behave_like "an admin user is signed in"

Good enough.  I had myself going in circles because I was trying to use 
a :type and global before behavior, and I think that doesn't work at all 
how I was expecting it to.

Can :type be anything?  Or is it limited to some set of values (e.g. 
:controller, etc)?

Thanks,

dwh

:type is the type of group (model, view, controller, etc). We're going
to be adding some sort of tagging thing eventually where you'd be able
to set something up in config that you could later hook w/ a hash
passed to describe or it, but that won't be for a bit.

Your solution seems like a fine option, given the current constraints.
Another thing you could do is make it a macro, so you could say:

describe "something" do
  logged_in_as :admin do
    it "should behave this way" do
      ...
    end
  end

  logged_in_as :anonymous do
    it "should behave differently" do
      ..
    end
  end
end

Depends on what you find more expressive.

Cheers,
David

Here's how I do it w/ Flavorpill:

Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
  Spec::Rails::Example::ControllerExampleGroup.class_eval do
    include SpecHelpers::AdminLoginHelper
   
    before(:each) do
      setup_action
    end
  end
end

What do you mean by "filespec"?  Regardless, I agree with you that this 
doesn't seem normal at all.  Care to add a ticket for it?

So, you can run the feature fine without the debugger?  What is 
confusing is that "lib/active_merchant" is showing up in the backtrace 
saying it can't be found... What if you try to run the feature with the 
debugger from outside of Netbeans?  Just trying to get an idea of who 
the culprit really is here.

RSpec scaffold is not set up produce scaffold for all of the various
mocking libraries. It does so just for what comes with RSpec. I do not
know of a way to simply replace scaffolding w/o providing more
scaffolding (ones for each mocking library) and then adding a flag to
the "script/generate" command to produce scaffolding for
rspec+default, rspec+mocha, rspec+rr, etc.

Also, in addition to this the normal "script/generate rspec" command
could be used to take the same options so it would configure your
spec_helper to run with the appropriate libraries.

I think your idea for scaffolding with different mocking libraries is
a good one. Please open a ticket on lighthouse and let's see if we can
get some more input from others in the community as well as the core
team.

I must admit that ruby-debug is very easy to use and it did well to find the
cause of my problem:
cucumber calling webrat visit with "eval". There was a bug in a
before_filter of a controller which was doing an infinite loop. Apparently,
the mac ruby interpreter did not like it and crashed with "segmentation
fault". Running Rails in "development" mode was working fine and showing an
exception stacktrace... 

This is the kind of situtation where TDD is actually slower than
"prehistoric development with no tests". I spent 3 hours looking for the
source of the problems and it took me 15 minutes running Rails in
developement mode. 

In order to improve webrat, I'll spend 1 hour this morning o try to write a
spec to reproduce the bug.

Message-ID: <d373023d-ff4e-4ad1-b5b7-e11a41a7040d@t10g2000vbg.googlegroups.com>

Hey all, just upgraded an older app to latest rspec and rails. This
code runs fine in console but fails under rspec.

    class User
      has_many :statuses, :extend => Status:::AssociationExtension
    end

    module Status::AssociationExtensions
      def after(status)
        find(:first, :conditions => ['statuses.created_at > ?',
status.created_at], :order => 'statuses.created_at')
      end
    end

This code works in the app and from console

    recent = @user.statuses.first
    status = @user.statuses.after(recent)

But in the spec, I get this: Weird, eh? It thinks that "self.class" ==
Array and can't find the "find" method on the array instance.  Is this
something in my code somewhere, or did something change with
association collections?

Is there any reason not to accept them for inclusion in the Cucumber
gem?  You already have precedent with the Webrat steps.  Obviously
you'd need some set of standards of generality and quality, but you
could delegate someone else to handle the submissions process.
Candidates could be put up on a page in the Wiki, discussed, and then
taken off again when they're rolled into a production release or
rejected.

I love the idea of a repository, but I don't like the idea of having
still more highly coupled gems to manage.  And I don't think this
warrants it.  I'd rather either see them _in_ Cucumber, or a pure Web
resource where I can do my own copying-and-pasting.

The only direct handling of AssociationProxy in rspec-rails is if
you're using the change matcher. Does the failing example have 'should
change' in it? Could be an rspec bug in that case. If not, I'm not
sure what else it could be. Can you try converting it to a test/unit
test_case and see if you get the same result?

Personally I just always run the debugger whenever I encounter some 
weird fucked up thing like this in rails.  Better to know that to guess.

But, if I recall correctly, the association proxy is just an Array which 
includes a ton of modules - some of which come from AR.

Glad you got it fixed.  Yeah, TDD/BDD certainly can slow you down at 
times especially on initial investments like this.  It just comes down 
to if it is worth it for you and this project or if you would be fine 
with some technical debt. :)

You can go ahead and file a feature request if you like, but given
that there is a GSOC project to deal with rails generators, including
support for rspec, I'm not going to be making any significant changes
to the rspec generators in the short term.

Imagine someone looking at the problem report
two years from now. No pastie. Then the
solution (if provided) comes without a complete problem.

Like code without a test.

Put it in an attachment, or whatever, but keep the two together,
please.

Bye,

I solved it with relevance-rcov (formerly spicycode-rcov).
There were remnants of an the failed "gem install rcov" attempt that 
caused errors. Some sudo rm -rf ... fixed that.

Seemes to work fine on a test project.

Right, the bypass_rescue() method.  Just to clarify:

"worked fine", by which I mean "didn't have a problem with me calling
it" - but didn't provide any exception for me to catch.

Maybe I'm out of my tree a bit to want it.  I guess I don't really care
to validate has_many relationships, why should it matter to validate
:except rules?  Should I adjust my thinking on this one?

Customer/Users are likely to have their 'own' language' and that
providing library steps - could thus be argued - to negate BDD.

Also we are all using different 'browser' drivers.

I am at the point where a more complete authorisation system is required 
and I was wondering what others here would suggest for implementation. 
I am looking at both acl9 and declarative_authorization.  However, if 
there are any alternatives to these that people feel strongly about I 
would like to hear of them.

I am leaning towards declarative_authorization but acl9 seems very 
attractive as well.  Any comments on either of these or alternatives?

If you have a user object in your specs, you could do this:

user.widgets.stub!(:new).and_return(mock(Widget, :save! => nil))

but you're getting into some ugly territory mixing mocks with calls to  
the database (e.g. widgets.reload).

What does your spec look like?

Message-ID: <310c80f00905111259r8747b66m8c7ba44f4873cf53@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Folks -

I'm hoping someone has come before me in trying to do this. I want to
use Cucumber to acceptance-test my JSON output. So far all I can do is
validate that the JSON is valid, with this step:

Then /^I should get valid JSON$/ do
  assert_nothing_raised do
    ActiveSupport::JSON.decode(@response.body)
  end

What I'd really like to do is be able to drill down into the JSON
looking for the presence of certain elements in their correct places.
For example, if my JSON is {"foo":{"bar":"baz"}} and parses out to
{'foo' => {'bar' => 'baz'}} then I want to be able to test that
['foo']['bar'] gives me 'baz', or at least that ['foo']['bar'] exists.
Unfortunately I'm not sure how to go about writing step definitions to
do anything like this, since I haven't yet figured out a way to take a
regular expression or string and inspect a hash with it.

Anyone have any ideas? I could really use a brain-kick here.

Thanks...

Well.. IIRC ActiveSupport::JSON.decode will return a ruby hash of the 
JSON, correct?  So you should be able to make expectations on it just 
like a regular hash object.

json = ActiveSupport::JSON.decode(@response.body)
json['foo']['bar'].should == 'baz'.


Does that help or am I missing something about your question?

Thanks for adding this change into repo!
I'm quite surprised that anyone else haven't stumbled upon this
problem yet. I guess it's because most of spec'ing is done for Ruby
projects, so this functionality is not needed.

I have been thinking a little more about this topic and asked myself:
why not make it backwards compatible without explicitly stating
subject as 'self'? If not making it backwards compatible then all my
current specs which use Watir would have to be changed by adding
"subject {self}" to them.

Why just not use ExampleGroup as a receiver for #should when string is
used in ExampleGroup description? I cannot see any negative impacts on
that change and rake specs are also passing. Any ideas where this
might fail? There probably aren't any specs where description is
written as a string and then you want to invoke matchers against that
string... Doesn't seem logical to me.

So, I've changed locally should method in
Spec::Example::Subject::ExampleMethods from:

        def should(matcher=nil)
          self == subject ? self.__should_for_example_group__
(matcher) : subject.should(matcher)
        end

to:
        def should(matcher=nil)
          if self == subject || (subject.is_a?(String) && subject ==
instance_eval(&self.class.subject))
            self.__should_for_example_group__(matcher)
          else
            subject.should(matcher)
          end
        end

I've added that "&& subject == instance_eval(&self.class.subject)"
part as an extra precaution, but i don't have any ideas, why it's
needed anyway, because I cannot think of any cases where string is
used as a subject... or maybe there are some libraries, which monkey-
patch String and want to call #should implicitly?! :)

in short, at the moment this seems to work also (rake specs are
passing again):
        def should(matcher=nil)
          if self == subject || subject.is_a?(String)
            self.__should_for_example_group__(matcher)
          else
            subject.should(matcher)
          end
        end

If you think that this functionality might be reasonable for wider use
(some other Watir or similar library users for example), then I can
provide a patch with specs.

Regards,
Jarmo

You're absolutely correct - I think I did a poor job of asking my
question. Maybe a more concrete example would help. Suppose I have
this JSON:

response:{code:'200',requestId:'1234'}

I want to have a scenario like this in my Cucumber feature file:

When I go to "the statuses JSON url"
Then I should find "....." # ['response']['code']
And I should find "....." #['response']['requestId']

With a step definition like:

Then /^I should find "([^\"]*)"$/ do |the_string|
  json = ActiveSupport::JSON.decode(@response.body)
  assert_not_nil ...... #(something with the json obect and the_string)
end

I don't know what goes in those blanks. Cucumber is going to give me a
string it found with the regex, but I don't know what the string would
look like in my "Then I should find" line in my feature file, nor what
to do with it in my assert line in the step definition. I'm not even
sure any of this is possible.

Consider if I were dealing with XML instead of JSON - I could put an
XPath expression in my "Then I should find" line, and in my step
definition I could search the XML with the given XPath expression
using hpricot or something. With JSON and it's resultant hash, I have
no idea where to start...

Do you want to cherry-pick individual pieces from the JSON, i.e. you 
don't care about the exact response as long as the parts you're looking 
for are there? Or would it be okay to check against a known good 
response?

The latter case is easier. In the former case, how about a matcher that 
checks the actual response is a superset of the expected response?

There's JSONPath, but I don't think a Ruby implementation exists. If you 
always have "definite" paths without wildcards and recursion(?) then you 
might be able to do with some simple code like this

When I go to "the statuses JSON url"
Then I should find "response.code"

Then /^I should find "([^\"]*)"$/ do |the_string|
  json = ActiveSupport::JSON.decode(@response.body)
  obj = traverse(json, the_string)
  assert_not_nil obj
end

def traverse(json, path)
  path.split('.').inject(json) do |value, selector|
    value = value[selector]
  end
rescue
  nil
end

Another options is to call #to_xml on the JSON hash returned by

Yes... "Examples" is only valid in Scenario Outlines, but you can also 
use "Scenarios" as well.  I don't remember being able to use "Examples" 
outside of the of Scenario Outlines.  Where were you using it before?  
My guess is that if you were using it before it was an unintentional 
feature that was removed when things were cleaned up.  Aslak or Joesph 
could give you a more definitive answer.  In short, I don't know what

Before upgrading from 1.1.11 to 1.2.4 I used to be able to do this:

  ruby spec/models/user_spec.rb

Now it looks like you have to do

  script/spec spec/models/user_spec.rb

Or something like this, which is actually kinda cool:

  script/spec spec/*/user*

Is that correct? Am I missing something?

There was a change that broke this behaviour, but it was documented in 
the History and how to get back the old behaviour:

=== Version 1.2.0 / 2009-03-15

* warnings:

  * If you use the ruby command to run specs instead of the spec 
command, you'll
    need to require 'spec/autorun' or they won't run. This won't affect 
you if
    you use the spec command or the Spec::Rake::SpecTask that ships with 
RSpec.



So... just add a require 'spec/autorun' in your spec_helper.rb and you 
should be good to go.

HTH,

Ben

I would assume that would work if you are requiring test-unit interop  
mode.  I believe in previous versions of rspec it was automatically  
included if the constants Test && Test::Unit were present (which AR  
automatically adds once AR is required).

I've always kept around this alias:

alias ss='./script/spec -O spec/spec.opts'

So I can do:

ss spec/unit/models/event_*

ooh - I love this solution. The downsides that immediately come to
mind are that I'd be putting XPath expressions in my acceptance tests
which aren't necessarily readable, but since I'm the only one who has
to read them that's alright, and that I have to parse JSON into a
hash, convert the hash to XML, and then parse that XML again with
Nokogiri or something, but assuming that the converters I'm using are
well-tested and predictable, that's an acceptable thing to me.

The upside is that I can query my JSON with arbitrary depth and
precision using XPath. Awesome.

I love having access to groups of people who are smarter than me.
Thanks for everyone's suggestions...

It seems pretty important that update_widgets is able to produce
actual widgets. I would use actual models here rather than try to
stub/mock something out. After all the whole method is about creating
(or destroying) the widgets. It seems pretty central to the behaviour
of the method. However, if what you shared is the "dumbed" down
version of your code for us on the ML then perhaps there is something
complicated going on that makes it a good candidate to be designed
differently.

Are you telling us the full story? In the above code you shared you
don't pass any attributes into "widget.new". So, how does it create
valid widgets in the actual app?

I don't want to promote using self as subject. I think being able to
do so explicitly, as we can now with your previous patch, is perfectly
reasonable. But doing so is a bit of a trick in my view, and runs
counter to the overall intent of the structure of examples of
behaviour of an object or sub-system. "should" is about that object or
sub-system, not self.

If your whole suite is using this, you can localize the "subject
{self}" call, however, in spec_helper, like this:

class Spec::ExampleGroup
  subject {self}
end

HTH,
David

Wow, thanks for all the replies ...

The rspec scaffold generates more tests than the nifty_scaffold. I
didn't look into it in detail yet cause some of the nifty tests where
failing too.

What I did to get it workin is map the missing methods (used by
respec) to methods in mocha. I also use the mislav-rspec-rails-mocha
plugin.

example:

module Mocha
	class Expectation

	def and_return(*values)
			returns(*values)
		end

	end
end

post wasn't finished yet ...

I know that it's not very clean but since it's just for scaffolding
and I'll probably rewrite most of the tests later on anyway it's
acceptable for now.

Thanks again and I'll monitor the GSOC project :)

Kind regards,
Jeroen

Aidy, I could not use netbeans because of the gems loading problem as I said
in my first message.
However, I was successfull with ruby-debug, see
http://www.sitepoint.com/article/debug-rails-app-ruby-debug/2/

In the meanwhile, I was successful reproducing the bug with a test in webrat
:
https://webrat.lighthouseapp.com/projects/10503/tickets/243-segmentation-fault-when-visiting-rails-action-with-infinite-loop

A simple fix would be to replace the code generation created with "eval". I
believe it might speed up also cucumber as eval is slower than normal ruby
code ...

Yay! thankyou. I've had the idea of writing a cucumber mode for  
ci_reporter[1] bubbling on my todo list since we switched to hudson,  
and this is going to make that much easier.

Message-ID: <961005.1326.qm@web23901.mail.ird.yahoo.com>

I am new to RSpec and have just started to drive out my first Rails view using a spec. I have used the The RSpec Book (beta) to do the basic stuff like testing for the presence of a field but I am unsure where to start for driving out some AJAX functionality.

In the view, I will have a text field that a user can enter a name into and then click on a link to check the availability of this name or otherwise. I plan to implement the check as an AJAX request, returning an HTML snippet or 'available' or 'not available'.

I would appreciate some help on what sort of examples one might write and the various mocks, stubs and helpers etc that can be used. Or alternatively a pointer to some existing information/tutorials on this topic.

Thanks.

gem install nokogiri rkelly assert2
...
require 'assert2/rjs'

   specify 'a simple passing assertion works' do
     xhr :get, :xhr_availability, :name => 'masone'
     js = @response.body
     js.should send_js_to(:replace_html, 'label_7', /available/)

     js.should send_js_to(:replace_html, 'label_7'){
                 span /available/
                 }
   end

The first send_js_to just checks for a regexp to match the payload of the 
Element.update call. The second one uses {} to generate a Nokogiri Builder 
snippet of HTML, and match that. Here it's just span, but it could have been 
more complex HTML. Google assert_xhtml for more on that.

The RSpec community, in my exalted opinion, mocks too much! If you can't use the 
real thing, it's too coupled, so break it up!

To test the onchange='' of the field, start by pulling in the Test::Unit 
versions of the assertions:

   Spec::Runner.configure do |c|
     c.include Test::Unit::Assertions
   end

Now use assert_xhtml to grab your edit field and return it as a Nokogiri node. 
This line does it for a <a href='#'>All</a>:

     a = assert_xhtml{|x|  x.a 'All', :href => '#'  }
     assert{ a[:onclick] =~ /new Ajax.Request.*xhr_run_all/ }

.send_js_to is supposed to work in the second line, but I have not yet 
researched out how get rkelly to parse the Ajax.Request line.

The point of using rkelly inside send_js_to (aka assert_rjs_) is it's a real 
JavaScript lexer, not a Regexp, so when I get it working it will be very accurate!

Check out Adam McCrea's fork of webrat:

http://github.com/adamlogic/webrat/tree/master

It includes a submit_form_via_ajax method that I use to do this.  It  
basically just forces Rails into treating the form request as asking  
for a .js response.  There are limitations on what you can do with the  
response (e.g. inspecting the entire page is no longer possible), but  
you are able to look at the response body of the call and match it  
against regular expressions.  So, I use features like:

     When I go to the homepage
     And I use a search term of "foo"
     And I press "search"
     And the edit_search_form is submitted via ajax
     Then the search results should have 2 bars

with the critical step like:

When /^the (.+) is submitted via ajax$/ do |form|
   submit_form_via_ajax form
end

I've left out a couple of things here (in particular, a step that  
fills in form fields to mimic javascript action), but this basic idea  
makes it possible to have acceptance tests for ajax based features  
that are written in the language of the customer and yet operate  
quickly (i.e. you don't need to have selenium or something else like  
that involved to run this).

The drawback of course is that it's not really exercising the full end- 
to-end system.  While I understand that this is frowned upon (and for  
good reason), in my case, I have decided that the speed of the tests  
(and thus my willingness to use them) makes up for the drawbacks  
involved.  To limit my exposure, I'm working on including javascript  
unit tests that will ensure that the behavior I stub out above  
actually works as expected.

Phlip,

You could just say "be careful not to mock too much," which would be
really good advice, but instead you make a generalizing and judgmental
statement like this. When's the last time you paired with someone in
the RSpec community?

Lee,

Phlip has some really great ideas about some things, and assert2 is
lovely, but based on several posts on this and other lists, I'd say he
doesn't really like RSpec, nor understand its underlying intent. So by
all means listen to his advice, and by all means take advantage of
assert2 for this particular problem, but please also understand that
he is in no way the voice of the RSpec community.

Cheers,
David

Thanks Philip.

I should have added in my original post that I have included the
Webrat::Matchers as instructed in The Rspec Book.

Unless I have misunderstood you, it appears that RSpec with
Webrat::Matchers do not support the driving out of AJAX functionality
in views, hence the need to use Nokogiri. Is my understanding correct?
Or is this your preferred approach but there are others?

Lee,

One thing you might want to consider is looking at using a headless  
browser like 'celerity' for testing your ajax code. This is quite a  
bit more involved for initial setup than using RSpec but will give you  
real confidence as you're actually running your javascript inside a  
browser. There are quite a few people on this list who are doing this,  
using the 'progressive enhancement'[1] pattern to build a version of  
the page that works with raw HTML, then decorate it with javascript  
behaviour when the page loads.

I'm not doing this myself in earnest, so I'll say no more, but  
hopefully a couple of other people will chime in with some advice.

Thanks Mike.

fyi, I am trying out Cucumber and Culerity for integration testing.
Culerity provides for AJAX testing.

Having written my first Cucumber (with Culerity) feature and set of
scenarios, I was keen to then use RSpec to begin driving out the
views, controllers etc so that I can eventually run the e2e Cucumber
scenarios.

Thanks Matt.

I have been trying out Cucumber and Culerity (Celerity) but rather
than jump directly from Cucumber to coding the necessary views,
controllers and models required for each scenario, I wanted to drive
out the code using RSpec. So I've started to spec a view required by a
scenario, and this is where I am confused about how I approach the
AJAX aspects of the view in my specs.

If you're using progressive enhancement though, I wouldn't expect the  
views themselves to be any different - the code to add javascript  
behaviour is all in external js files. I'd personally recommend doing  
that over using the rails js generators that squirt behaviour into  
your onclick events. eugh.

Subject: [rspec-users] [RSpec] problems with a rails controller spec using
	AASM
Message-ID: <8a8977e30905120959s6f5edc49jca4bbf03ff7e0a7d@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

I'm trying to spec out a Rails controller and I'm coming up with a bit
of a problem. I'm pretty sure it's something fairly simple but I can
no longer see the wood for the trees.

I have a Jobs controller that looks like this (this is just the action
with the problem for brevity)

class JobsController < ApplicationController
  before_filter :require_user

  def accept
    @job = Job.find_by_jobno(params[:id])
    unless @job.accepted?
      @job.accept!
      add_message "Job accepted"
    else
      add_message "Job already accepted"
    end
    redirect_to(job_path(@job.jobno))
  end
end

And here's the relevant part of the specs:

describe "when accessed through a browser" do
  before(:each) do
    @claim = Claim.make()
    @inspector = Inspector.make(:inspector)
    @job = Job.make(:jobno => 1)

    controller.stub!(:current_user).and_return(@inspector)
    controller.stub!(:login_required).and_return(true)
  end

  describe "when accepting a job" do

    it "should find the job" do
      Job.should_receive(:find_by_jobno).with("1").and_return(@job)
      do_accept
    end

    it "should redirect to the job page" do
      do_accept
      response.should redirect_to(job_path(@job.foxpro_jobno))
    end

    describe "if it's already accepted" do
      before(:each) do
        @job.status = "accepted"
        @job.save
      end

      it "should add a flash message" do
        do_accept
        flash[:message].should == "Job already accepted"
      end

      it "should not change the job status" do
        do_accept
        @job.status.should == "accepted"
      end
    end

    describe "if it has yet to be accepted" do

      it "should accept the job" do
        @job.should_receive(:accept!)
        do_accept
      end

      it "should add a flash message" do
        do_accept
        flash[:message].should == "Job accepted"
      end

      it "should change the status" do
        do_accept
        @job.status.should == "accepted"
      end
    end

    def do_accept
      get_with @inspector, :accept, :id => 1
    end
  end
end

Some info: RSpec 1.2.6. It's a restful controller with the accept
method being an additional member. I'm using Machinist to create the
objects in the database and I'm using Rubyist's AASM for state
changes.  The default state for a new Job is "unaccepted".

When I run the code through the browser it all works as I would expect
but when I run the specs I get the following failures, all other specs
pass:

Spec::Mocks::MockExpectationError in 'JobsController when accessed
through a browser when accepting a job if it has yet to be accepted
should accept the job'
#<Job:0x398a988> expected :accept! with (any args) once, but received it 0 times

And

'JobsController when accessed through a browser when accepting a job
if it has yet to be accepted should change the status' FAILED
expected: "accepted",
     got: "unaccepted" (using ==)

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Andy

Hi Matt,

You're a star! That was exactly it. I guess I should start pair programming :)

For end to end coverage you'll need to utilize something like Selenium
or Watir. Webrat has  built-in Selenium support which I know folks are
using successfully (we are at MHS). It is not as polished as the
simulated support that Webrat has using an in-memory DOM, but that is
starting to change. Selenium and Webrat have a bright future ahead
(and a little longer term so does Watir IIRC).

For isolated and/or complex client-side logic in JS you can utilize a
JS-based testing framework like Screw.Unit or JSSpec:

* http://github.com/nkallen/screw-unit/tree/master
* http://jania.pe.kr/aw/moin.cgi/JSSpec

Sorry I don't have any links to any tutorials, maybe others can
provide. For me it was a largely dive-in and figure it out with
Selenium a few years back, and I personally haven't taken the time to
dump what I've learned to the world. The RSpec Book will include a
chapter on automating Cucumber scenarios in the browser with Selenium,
although I know that chapter has not been released yet.

Message-ID: <5087f5f1-c2c7-4b28-91b7-58f6af347971@l28g2000vba.googlegroups.com>

The new rspec beta book and the rspec site mentions that it is
possible to add a hash to "describe" and "it" constructs but very,
very litle information about the particulars.

What can the options hash be used for and what should it be used for?

F.x. I have some identical examples that I need to run against a wide
range of different models that have two configuration parameters that
sometimes differ. I am thus thinking of using the has like this in
example groups (tptions which are recoginzed in helpers, macros etc):

describe XXXX-MODEL, :fixturesRelativeRootDir =>
?testfixtures?, :serviceDescriptorRelativePath => ?services/
RubyHelloExample.service?

Does usage of custom options like this make sense rspec-wise ?

Finally, I did find out myself that I can get the hash from a helper?s
Spec::Runner.configure.config.before(:all) using ?self.class?.
However, this does not work inside nested ?it? constructs. Any advice ?

I want to stub a global method in a model spec, but I can't figure out  
what's the equivalent in model specs for controller.stub! in  
controller specs and template.stub! in view specs . . . at least, it  
seems like I need to do that in order to make acts_as_audited happy in  
models. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Steve

I"m not sure what you mean by global method.  Do you mean class method? 
If so then ModelName.stub!(:class_method) should work.  If you are 
talking about an instance method then you just need to call stub! on the 
instance (it can be a mock object or a real object.)

What is the exact problem you are running into though?  Mocking may not 
be the best option....

acts_as_audited has the line (acts_as_audited/lib/acts_as_audited/ 
audit_sweeper.rb:73)

     controller.send :current_user if controller.respond_to? 
(:current_user)

which blows up in my audited models. I assume there's something akin  
to "controller" in controller specs and "template" in view specs that  
makes it easy to do things like:  controller.stub! 
(:logged_in?).and_return(true)   (vs. a stub on the model itself)

This might be used for tagging examples, marking examples for use with
formatters, or other purposes probably not bearing on spec execution. 
I'm not saying they could or couldn't be used the way you're suggesting,
but there are other possibilities you should try first IMO.

I have used a callback for this, but I understand that rspec 1.2 has
macros that can take args the way your shared example can't.   I haven't
dug into them.


Here's the callback approach demonstrated.

describe "shared", :shared => true
  it "..." do
    options = shared_options()
    ...
  end
end

describe "thingy"
  it_should_behave_like "shared"
  def shared_options
    { :foo => 'bar', :baz => 'buz }
  end
end

Spec::VERSION::REV does not exist anywhere in rspec, so this is coming
from something other than rspec. What versions of rails, rspec and
ruby are you using? What other plugins and/or libraries?

I think this is the culprit. Looks like you have a VERY old version of
rspec-rails (when it was called rspec_on_rails).

Are you trying to use rspec[-rails] as plugins or gems? If gems,
system or bundled?

You can access the group and example options from within an example:

describe "group options hash", :defined_in => :group do
  it "is available in examples via self.class.options" do
    self.class.options[:defined_in].should == :group
  end
end

describe "example options hash" do
  it "is available in examples directly", :defined_in => :example do
    options[:defined_in].should == :example
  end
end

Message-ID: <ab4a2c95-8549-450a-b9fe-c11f5df6f803@s28g2000vbp.googlegroups.com>

I found a potential solution from this blog:
http://www.rubytutorials.net/2008/02/29/small-rspec-revelations-rjs/

In my spec for the view in which I want to include the AJAX
functionality ("new.html.erb_spec.erb"), I have added a couple of
Examples to drive out the some of the AJAX functionality:

  it "should render /Available/ if name does not exist" do
    @name_exists = false
    assigns[:name_exists] = @name_exists
    render "contexts/check.js.rjs"
    response.should have_rjs(:chained_replace_html, 'checkname') do
      response.should have_text(/Available/)
    end
  end

  it "should render /Not available/ if name does not exist" do
    @name_exists = true
    assigns[:name_exists] = @name_exists
    render "contexts/check.js.rjs"
    response.should have_rjs(:chained_replace_html, 'checkname') do
      response.should have_text(/Not available/)
    end
  end

The rendered template "check.js.rjs" contains:

if @name_exists
  page['checkname'].update('Not available')
else
 page['checkname'].update('Available')
end

These examples pass and seem to achieve my objective of using the spec
to drive out the required AJAX behaviour, or at least some of it.
Though I suspect that this approach may have limitations for other
types of AJAX functionality.

At this stage, I am wondering whether it is worth trying to drive out
any AJAX functionality at the point of writing RSpec view specs. Some
replies seem to suggest the use of Cucumber with Culerity/Webrat/
Selenium and I read into this that one would bypass view specs for the
AJAX related steps and just write the necessary view code (e.g.
JavaScript or Rails Prototype helpers) to get the step to pass.

Further thoughts appreciated.

Thanks Lee.

Subject: [rspec-users] Rails HTML error page in the console.
Message-ID: <255D8CD4-9AB0-4CBB-94DD-40CEAA61E870@songkick.com>

I'm still bugged by the fact that when I get an exception during a  
feature run (e.g. Couldn't find partial) then what I see in the  
console is all the HTML to report that error in a browser.

I have had a few ideas for this bubbling around at the back of my  
mind. I wondered whether anyone else was thinking about this too.

I guess the idea would be to patch rails's  
ActionController#rescue_action_locally with something that threw the  
exception out at Cucumber rather than bubbling it up to the web. What  
do you think? Would it work? What are the drawbacks I haven't thought  
of?

Well I can't help you but I do have a similar problem. In my case
Cucumber-Selenium works, Cucumber-Webrat works but Cucmber-Webrat-
Selenium doesn't work because Webrat issues requests to www.example.com
and Selenium starts up a mongrel on localhost:3001, connects to it via
Firefox and then throws up when it gets a request to go to www.example.com.
I need to find a way to change the host name that Webrat uses when it
connects via Selenium.

Subject: [rspec-users] Cucumber Tables
Message-ID: <4fd7adf1f4f63e662ecd02dcbbc8a176@ruby-forum.com>

I am running into this situation:

Feature 1

  Scenario A
    ...
    Then we should have currency exchange rates for "USD" on file
      And we should ...


Feature 2

  Scenario D
    ...
    Then we should have currency exchange rates for "USD" on file
        | code|
        |"EUR"|
        |"JPY"|
        |"KRW"|
        |"MXN"|
      And we should not ...

This arrangement presently gives a cucumber error because the step
definition that matches will either have one argument too many or one
too few.  However, from a user point of view it strikes me that this
situation should not be an error at all.

My reasoning is this.  The features statement as given is completely
logical, straight-forward and applicable in either situation.  Having a
requirement to create separate invocations for exactly the same test,
depending only upon whether one wishes to do it once or several times,
strikes me as bending the situation to the limitations of the
implementation rather than elaborating the implementation to handle the
situation.

On the other hand, as this may be quite involved to solve I am not
saying what I suggest MUST be the behavior, only that it seems to me
that it should be.

I seem to recall that when I first used cucumber in December last, that
one could either provide additional examples to a matcher in a scenario
or not.  In either case the matcher would work.  I think that this
behaviour, if at all possible, might be more natural than requiring two
separate matchers that exist only to match to different patterns.

What do you all think?

A common way to express step definitions that take multiline arguments
is to explicitly refer to the multiline argument in the step text. For
example:

Then I should have the following shoes:
  |size|model|
  |43  |Adidas Oslo|
  |41  |Nike Racer|

If you don't do this, the multiline argument is "dangling". Steps that
take multiline arguments should be formulated in such a way that
removing the multiline argument makes the sentence nonsensical. This
is not the case for your example. Remove the table and the sentence
still makes sense. That's very confusing. In fact, sticking a table
onto that sentence makes no sense at all to me. I have to guess how
that table is related to the sentence above it. Be explicit, and
you'll save yourself a lot of headache.

In your case I would do this:

Then we should have currency exchange rates for "USD" on file

Then we should have currency exchange rates for "USD" on file with the
following codes:
       | code|
       |"EUR"|
       |"JPY"|
       |"KRW"|
       |"MXN"|

Have you tried catching the error in an After block and opening up the 
page?  Aslak added that functionality:

I'm also thinking that maybe I'm doing something wrong when using this
approach, but cannot think of any better way. Do you have any
suggestions how to get rid of using self as a subject in my context?
Maybe i'm not aware of some best practices when it comes to using
helper methods. Should I monkey-patch Watir (or some other library) to
add methods to it like has_text? and so on in which case subject would
be $browser (which is actually correct)?

Thank you for this great tip! I think that this solution will satisfy
me.

I actually think that what you're doing is perfectly fine. Just not
the common case. That's why I think it's OK to support explicitly
assigning self as subject, but not making that a default behaviour.

If it were me, and it's *not*, but if it were, I'd wrap those helpers
in an object and make explicit calls.

you mean something like this?

class PageHelper
  def has_text?
   # blah
  end
end

describe "cool page" do
   subject {PageHelper.new}

   before :all do
      PageHelper.new
   end

   it "has something" do
     should have_text("blah")
   end

end

Doesn't seem too bad. I will give it a thought!

The one thing I would add is that Rails responds differently when it  
receives a post with XMLHttpHeaders than when these headers are not  
present. I typically put this in my spec_helper.rb and then I can  
include it where necessary.

# spec_helper.rb
module XmlHttpHelper
  def set_xhr_headers
    request.env['HTTP_ACCEPT'] = 'application/json, text/javascript, */ 
*'
    request.env['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH'] = 'XMLHttpRequest'
  end
end

# things_controller_spec.rb
describe ThingssController do
   include XmlHttpHelper

       it "should provide a not acceptable response if user is not  
appropriately related and it's an xhr" do
         login_as(@unrelated_child.login, 'secret')
         set_xhr_headers
         post :slug_collection, :name => 'bob', :collection_name =>  
'my-things'
         response.status.should eql('406 Not Acceptable')
       end
end

Just a thought...

Yes, I got this to work too but not for nested describes as below:

describe "group options hash", :defined_in => :group do
   ..
   describe "nested describe wont work"
    it "is available in examples via self.class.options" do
     self.class.options[:defined_in].should == :group # WONT work
    end
   end

end

BTW. I am actually accessing the hash from within a common helper
files in a before action setup by Spec::Runner.configure. Hence it is
important that accessing the Hash work regardless of how the describes
are nested.

"not bearing on spec execution". I.e. for meta-data only. Any official
word on thos?

Ok. Thanks for the advice.

Ok. will look into that.

Thanks for the suggestion. I can see how it world work, but for this
particular problem I have (where 3parties would need to reuse my
tests),  I would like something that not only works but is also simple
and elegant....

And the above is a bit verbose I think compared to just

describe "thingy",  :foo => 'bar', :baz => 'buz
...
end

Subject: [rspec-users] Unable to post to an update action in a controller
	spec
Message-ID: <21c3a7541a88ce7a2bed574cf193caf0@ruby-forum.com>

Hi,

I use restful routes. In one of my views I have a form that looks like:

<%- form_tag '/items/update', :method => :put do -%>
  ...
  <%= submit_tag "Recalculate" %>
<%- end -%>

I know I cheated a bit, as I should be submitting to /items/1 instead.
Anyway, now how can I trigger the update action in my controller test?

I tried stuff like:
post :update, {:method => 'put', :item => {'1' => {:quantity => 5}}}

But the route recognition isn't pleased, I guess it's missing an :id. Is
it possible to test the way I coded it?


PS: please no comment about writing code before testing, I know it's a
bad habit, and I am doing my best to change it.

put :update, :item => 1 etc.

There are 4 methods for the 4 HTTP types. get, post, put, delete.

Hey everyone,

I'm having sort of an issue here, I'm trying to test the update of the
last_login field upon login, here is my test

  it "assigns a new last_login timestamp" do
    User.expects(:update_attribute).at_least_once.returns(true)
    post :create, :email => 'bob at example.com', :password => 'test'
 end

sessions_controller:

  def create

    self.current_user = current_account.users.authenticatex(params
[:email], params[:password], current_account)

    if logged_in?

      Time.zone = current_user.timezone
      I18n.locale = current_user.language

      login_flash(current_user)
      current_user.login_updates(current_account.id)

      redirect_back_or_default(default_path)

    else
      flash.now[:error] = t('flash.notice.invalidcredentials')
      render :action => 'new'
    end
  end

and the login updates_method on the user model:

  def login_updates(account)
    self.update_attribute(:last_login, Time.zone.now)
  end

no matter what variation of expects(:update), expects
(:update_attribute) I always get the same failed test:

#<Mock:0x53091e8>.update_attribute(any_parameters) - expected calls:
at least 1, actual calls: 0

I know this thread is long dead, but I'm finding that I have the same 
problem. 'rake spec:modles' loads the development environment and 
clobbers my development database. I have to run set RAILS_ENV=test in 
order for the tests to run correctly.

Commenting out that rake task line does not solve the problem. WHat's 
going on? Do I really have to remember to always set the environment to 
test? Shouldn't that be the default?

User.any_instance.expects(:update_attribute).with(:field, value).etc.

An instance of User will itself call the .update_attribute. The class won't call it.

However, I can't think of a reason not to just write the record, reload it, and 
check the fields. And a _functional_ test should not care how the record got 
written (update_attribute, save, or whatever). A unit test might care, but 
functional tests need a little more float...

I've got a reason. You're coupling the tests for this simple little  
controller class to all the infrastructure and dependencies needed to  
write the record to the database and reload it again. As easy as Rails  
makes it for us to manage our database schemas, gratuitously  
introducing dependencies in your code like this is a bad habit to get  
into. It can lead to tests that are fragile to failing when code is  
changed far away from the place they're apparently testing. The tests  
also run slowly, which makes working on systems written like this  
boring.

I would argue that a true 'functional test'[1] would not even care  
that there is a controller class, and would be exercising the system  
via the user interface.

I tried that but didn't work. I managed to get it working by simply 
doing:

post :update, {:id => 'dummy', :item => {'1' => ...}}

For some reason, I previously tried with :id => 'update' but Rails 
didn't like it.

The point of unit tests (which include the alleged "functional tests" in Rails) 
is to fail more often than production code would fail. Not less often.

Hi guys, I am having a problem with autospec. I upgraded to
rspec-1.2.6, then I tried to run my specs with autospec. All my specs
passes (green), until here, that's all ok. The problem is that after
all my specs have passed, the autospec stops, I mean,  it doesn't
continue to run on background. The same behavior happened if one of my
specs fails too.

Is this the current default behavior os autospec, running your tests,
an then stop?

Yes, I understood that.  And I also realized that the solution is to 
have two separately phrased matcher clauses.  However, this approach 
does strike me as incongruous with cucumber's philosophy of reading 
naturally.

Consider this situation.

Iteration 1 to 5

  Then we should have currency exchange rates for "USD" on file

Iteration 6

  Then we should have currency exchange rates for "USD" on file with the 
following codes
       | code|
       |"EUR"|
       |"JPY"|

Now, besides begin awkwardly worded, "rates for "USD" on file with the 
following codes" (which admittedly could be repaired with some thought), 
this requires that an additional matcher be provided in the step 
definition file.  Further, the similarity of phrasing is an invitation 
to a matcher collision.  I rather suspect that in these cases this is 
what will end up in the feature files on most occasions:

  Then we should have currency exchange rates for "USD" on file
  Then we should have currency exchange rates for "EUR" on file
  Then we should have currency exchange rates for "JPY" on file

This requires far less work as the matcher already exists and one need 
only replace six characters after a couple of cut and pastes.

Presently, the table method works best, I think, when it is employed 
from the outset.  However, when things are elaborated after the initial 
matchers are written then it seems more work than it is worth to 
duplicate existing matchers just to cut down somewhat on boilerplate in 
the feature files.

If, instead, one could just add a table under an existing step matcher 
then this would be more in keeping with what cucumber does so well 
elsewhere, extend features and scenarios naturally and effortlessly.

  Then we should have currency exchange rates for "USD" on file
       | code|
       |"EUR"|
       |"JPY"|

This is more user friendly because it creates far less of an 
intellectual load (having to devise a new wording for an existing phrase 
and implementing same as a special case) than simply extending the 
existing structure.

I don't get the impression you're very familiar with RESTful routing
in Rails. You may want to look read about it in the Agile Web
Development w/Rails book and/or Rails guides:

http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#restful-routing-the-rails-default

It should give you a better overview of when/where to use ids, puts, posts, etc.

Yep, I agree that would be silly.

On the other hand, if the tests fail for no good reason all the time  
because they're fragile, people may stop listening to them, and maybe  
eventually stop writing them. The argument I'm making is really just  
for slowing down and taking a little more care, with the eventual  
benefit of tests that are trustworthy and easy to maintain. I would  
imagine that's your goal too, but we apparently have different  
approaches :)

Message-ID: <6622217A-83E0-4876-8632-F42DE7DDACD2@lukemelia.com>

I'm trying to make sure that my cucumber selenium suite fails if my  
Rails app returns any 500 response codes. I'm working on what the best  
way to identify this state, but the question I'd like to put to the  
list is this: If I want to check for this error condition in an After  
or AfterStep, how can I force a failure in the scenario?

i.e. something like the following non-functional snippet:

AfterStep do |scenario|
   if foo_error_state_detected?
     scenario.fail("A foo failure has been detected.")
   end
end

Ideas?

Message-ID: <eaf90166-80fd-4573-bc6d-f55e129bc7d0@l28g2000vba.googlegroups.com>

I have been trying to spec a Rails Controller for the first time,
having just completed my first View spec.

Having hit a wall trying to spec a controller for my own application,
I have tried to get an example in beta of The RSpec Book to work. I am
however experiencing the same failures. I would appreciate any
pointers on where I am going wrong.

Here is the failure:

1)
Spec::Mocks::MockExpectationError in 'MessagesController POST create
should build a new message'
<Message (class)> expected :new with ({"body"=>"a quick brown fox"})
once, but received it 0 times
./spec/controllers/messages_controller_spec.rb:7:
script/spec:10:

Here is the controller spec:

require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../spec_helper')

describe MessagesController, "POST create" do

  it "should build a new message" do
    message=mock_model(Message)
    Message.should_receive(:new).with("body" => "a quick brown
fox").and_return(message)
    post :create, :message => {"body" => "a quick brown fox"}
  end

  it "should save the message"

end

Here is the controller:

class MessagesController < ApplicationController
  def create
    message = Message.new params[:message]
  end
end

And here is the (mocked) model:

class Message
end

***

As an aside, I already have an implemented model that I'd like to use
in my controller spec. In this case, should I be using stub_model() to
make use of it e.g.:

context = stub_model(Context)

Also the constructor expects a name to be passed in so can I write:

Context.should_receive(:new).with("name" => "fred").and_return
(message)
post :create, :context => {"name" => "fred"}

And then in the controller 'create' method:

Context.new params[:context]

I did try this but received an error from my model and trace
suggesting that the "name" was not being supplied.

Thanks.

I have now managed to get the example to run as expected from The
RSpec Book.

I would appreciate pointers on the following though:

To be honest, I don't remember what happened to AfterStep. I think we
had it at some point, but can't see it in the codebase. Did I remove
it? Or was that back in the pre-Cucumber days? Help me remember
here...

I'm not so sure I like the idea of AfterStep - smells like a
workaround for something that belongs elsewhere. Can't your have
selenium-rc (or a helper method you create around it) raise those
exceptions?

Given /bla/ do
  # don't remember the API, but you get the idea
  @browser.goto_strict('/bla') # raises on 500 errors
end

I'm not sure. I saw a reference for it on the wiki: [http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/hooks 
] and it seemed to fit this problem, but it's not in the version of  
cucumber we're running. I thought perhaps it was in trunk but it  
sounds like that's not the case.

Yes, I'd prefer to be able to configure selenium-rc to fail on 500s.  
The problem I ran into is that selenium client doesn't appear to be  
able to access the HTTP response code. In addition, ajax-y HTTP  
requests can get kicked off in our app by lots of different things (a  
click here, a mouseover there, etc).

In our suite today, of step matchers will usually fail if a 500 is  
raised, due to the user-facing impact (e.g. a div is not updated or a  
form does not appear), but it usually takes us a few minutes to  
realize that there was a 500 error raised (vs. incorrect javascript,  
etc.). I am hoping to short-circuit that investigation time and also  
catch the cases where a 500 is triggered and we don't have a step  
matcher that fails.

The approach is a little smelly to me because it adds a little  
translucency to what is mostly black-box-testing, but I think it would  
be a net positive, at least for our app.

Cheers,
Luke

The specific umbrage I took over mocking to detect a update_attribute is I 
worked for 2.5 years on a huge Rails project with hundreds of tests, including 
mocks, including controller tests that went a little too far, including very 
fragile tests, and I never once had the inclination to mock update_attribute. 
The real attribute is just so easy to detect!

Run fragile tests more often and revert more often.

Can you show me the code you would want to put in AfterStep that would

This uses user.id, not params[:id]

The @user gets defined with an ID of 1001 (in this case). Try:

  @user = mock_model(User, :id => 1)

This looks similar to a ticket James opened earlier:

Subject: [rspec-users] Cucumber tables
Message-ID: <60ea1eb12b658b3d5d8d1c071c690131@ruby-forum.com>

I cannot seem to locate any documentation on how to implement the new
table syntax otherwise I would not bother the list with this.

I wish to write something like this:

  And we do have a forex rate for the following currency code and date
        |code |    date    |  rate  |
        |"USD"|"2009-04-01"|"0.8555"|
        |"USD"|"2009-04-05"|"0.8444"|

Then /^we do have a forex (.+) for the following currency (.+) and
(.+)$/ \
  do |rate,code,date,table|
  # table is a Cucumber::Ast::Table
    puts rate
    puts code
    puts date
end

All I see from this is:
...
rate
code
date
    And we do have a forex rate for the following currency code and date
#
features/app/models/currency_exchange_rates/step_definitions/currency_exchange_rates_steps.rb:8
      | code  | date         | rate     |
      | "USD" | "2009-04-01" | "0.8555" |
      | "USD" | "2009-04-05" | "0.8444" |

I only get one iteration of output and that only displays the regex
matches found in the original string.

What is happening with the rest of the data? Is the table data keyed by
the headings or is it position dependent on the matcher order?  In other
words, does the data in the table have to be in the same order as the
regexp in the preceding clause.  If so, then why the table headings?

I make a spec/spec_helpers/ directory and put them in there. I try to
namespace them in the module SpecHelpers to avoid conflict and/or
confusion with other modules in the app.

I would not use spec/lib/, because a rails app has a lib directory,
and convention would have someone assume spec/lib/ are specs for
objects in RAILS_ROOT/lib/.

Forgot to add in my spec_helper.rb I load all ruby files in spec/spec_helpers/

   Dir[File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/spec_helpers/**/*.rb'].each { |f require f }

and then in my spec config I include specific ones I need:

Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
  config.include SpecHelpers::MyApplicationMatchers
  config.include SpecHelpers::ControllerMacros, :type => :controller
end

I've written a simple piece of rack middleware (included below) that  
will create a file in the event a 500 is raised. I would clear the  
file before each scenario and check for it's existence in the  
AfterStep. For example:

Before do
   File.delete('/tmp/rails.error') if File.exist?('/tmp/rails.error')
end

AfterStep do |scenario|
   if File.exist?('/tmp/rails.error')
     scenario.fail("Failed because app raised a 50x error.")
   end
end

Here's the rack piece, for the curious:

class RackErrorTouch
   def initialize(app, options = {})
     @app = app
     @path = options[:path]
   end

   def call(env)
     rack_response = @app.call(env)
     if rack_response.first >= 500
       `touch #{@path}`
     end
     rack_response
   end
end

Subject: [rspec-users] Can I run the same specs with different gems? Ideas?
Message-ID: <deb2337a0905150950o146762f3qfd57da5bdcbee56c@mail.gmail.com>

I have a new icalendar Ruby library/gem which is implemented so as
require an implementation of the TZInfo::Timezone class, but not to
care whether that implementation comes from the tzinfo gem, or the
activesupport gem in rails.  It also will make use of the TimeWithZone
class in recent versions of activesupport if it's loaded, but it
leaves the decision of whether to load the activesuport or tzinfo gems
up to the user.

Now, it that makes sense I'd like to be able to run my specs with the
tzinfo gen and then with the activesupport gem.  Ideally I'd like to
have rake tasks like

rake spec:tzinfo
rake spec:activesupport
rake spec:both

The problem is that I think I need something like the fork option for
spec task similar to the one in the cucumber task, since once loaded I
can't unload one or the other gem in the same ruby process.

Is there a trick I'm missing?

I do not know if I am doing something wrong or not, but I am seeing 
evidence that feature tables in normal scenarios do not actually do 
anything.

# feature statement

    And we do have a forex rate for "USD" on "2009-03-31" of "0.8666"
      | "USD" | "2009-04-01" | "0.8555" |
      | "USD" | "2009-04-05" | "0.8444" |
    Then the number of forex rates should be 3

# step definition

Then /do have a forex rate for "([^\"]*)" on "([^\"]*)" of "([^\"]*)"/ \
  do |code,date,rate,table|
  my_rate = CurrencyExchangeRate.new
    my_rate.currency_code_base        = 'CAD'
    my_rate.currency_code_quote       = code
    my_rate.currency_exchange_rate    = rate
    my_rate.currency_exchange_source  = 'features test'
    my_rate.currency_exchange_type    = 'TEST'
    my_rate.effective_from            = date
    my_rate.save!
end

Then /the number of forex rates should be (\d+)/ do |count|
  CurrencyExchangeRate.count.should ==(count)
end

But, the results of this are:

    And we do have a forex rate for "USD" on "2009-03-31" of "0.8666"

Hello all

rSquery aims to reduce the difficulties involved in writing selenium  
tests in cucumber environments for webapps that use jQuery.

The project contains several methods to help you with writing  
javascript commands for selenium and javascript based tests for  
cucumber or even rSpec.

It makes it possible to write stuff like (in jQuery enabled webapp):

- jquery("#content").wait_for_visible
- jquery("#dialog button:contains(Ok)").click
- jquery.wait_for_text("User saved...")
- jquery.wait_for_element(".some_element")
- jquery("#dialog div").text.should have_text(/some_text/)
- jquery("#dialog").find(".warning")
- jquery("#dialog").html.should have_tag("button", "Ok")
- jquery("#dialog").should be_visible
- jquery("#dialog") # page must have an element with id 'dialog'

The project is at http://github.com/caifara/rsquery/tree/master

Can you all try to specify the lib attribute of the rake task? I think
that has something to do with this.....

I'm not sure what you mean by "new" table syntax. The syntax for
tables hasn't really changed since it was introduced.

Why are you quoting the cell values?

Which makes sense - these are the values of the 3 groups in your regexp.

Hi All:

So I have some longer running controller specs that interact with outside API's that I want to move into an integration directory.  In doing so, it seems I don't get the (possibly determined by directory?) magic that creates a ControllerExampleGroup, but rather a RailsExampleGroup.


How might I set this up to recognize it as a controller spec?


Thanks


Forrest

That documentation is for scenario outlines.  I had gathered that one 
could also simply use tables with regular scenarios where the table 
values replaced the rexep in the preceding statement.  At one point I am 
sure that this is what I was doing, although the table followed a 
complete scenario.  However, I have not used tables for the last couple 
of months and am somewhat perplexed with respect to the changes.

Thank you very much. Could you give me the rdoc reference for this 
construct.  This is exactly the sort of thing I was looking for and 
could not find.

What are these changes you are talking about?? The only thing that changed was:

* the "More Examples" keyword was renamed to "Examples".
* "Examples" can only be used under "Scenario Outline", not "Scenario".

These are minor changes that haven't really changed anything
fundamentally. You can find the documentation for multiline step
arguments here:

http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/multiline-step-arguments

Thanks for doing that. I have one more favour to ask: Can you show me
an example of a StepDefinition that would cause the file to be
created?

Then I might be able to suggest an alternative solution with the same result.

Will it work with WebDriver? Selenium as we know it seems to be EOL'ed soon...

I just added a wiki page for this:

Yes, I followed that part.  The part I did not comprehend was using 
multiline step arguments, which are more commonly referred to as tables 
as well insofar as I can see.  I was looking for "tables" in the 
documentation, not "multiline step arguments", which conveys to me a 
completely different meaning than the one evidently intended.

Nonetheless, Mr. Flipse's post has put me right and I am on to the next 
bit of confusion.

I'm aware that the two different kind of tables can be confusing, so
I'll try to always refer to them as:

"multiline argument tables" or maybe "step argument tables" or even
"argument tables"

and

"scenario outline tables" or "example tables"

Which terms do you think we should adopt and where in the wiki should
this be emphasized more clearly?

That is a tougher question, because any browser interaction that  
causes an HTTP request to the app under test could result in a server  
error.

Ajax requests can be triggered by javascript, and in various parts of  
our app, they are triggered by clicking on links, submitting forms,  
dragging and dropping divs, hovering over a div, waiting for a page  
load to complete, as a callback from interacting with a 3rd party web  
service, or waiting for a setTimeout to execute.

So one way I could tackle it is to add a step to the end of every  
scenario that says "Then the application should not have issued any  
responses with 50x status codes", but that would be a) repetitive, and  
b) not fail until all steps had run, making it harder to track down  
the step in the test where the failure occurred.

One way to look at may be that I'm trying to enforce an invariant.  
Under no circumstances in my test suite is it appropriate for my app  
to raise a 50x error. In my Rails integration suite, webrat enforces  
this particular invariant for me, but can't find a good hook in the  
selenium test stack to do this, which is why I'm looking at this route.

Cheers,
Luke

I just did an upgrade and came up with .0.3.5.  The last entry I see
on you list was .0.3.4 two days ago?
Is this right?

Thank you David.
The example passes when we pass the id as string
@user = mock_model(User, :id=> "1")

Subject: [rspec-users] HowTo Specify A Method is Called Within A
	Controller's Action
Message-ID: <501653.91777.qm@web23907.mail.ird.yahoo.com>



I am new to RSpec and would appreciate some pointers on how to specify the following for my Rails application...

I have a controller called ContextsController and, within this, the usual 'create' method. The first line of this method should be:

@member = logged_in_member

where logged_in_member is a method that, for simplicity's sake, is a private method of the ContextsController and retrieves a Member model object based on the user_id in the session. I haven't written this method yet so would like to stub it out for now.

What might an Example look like to spec this expected behaviour? 

In particular, I can't work out how to specify that logged_in_member is called.

Thanks,

Lee.

If you didn't have that line yet (recommended, because test-first makes this 
stuff very easy), then what missing behavior would you see in the resulting 
page? Would it behave as if the user were logged out?

Get that behavior going, then specify it didn't happen, and that the correct 
behavior did.

If you merely test that logged_in_member got called, and if it caught a bug, the 
spec you envision would simply continue to report it was called. Behavior Driven 
Development is about specifying behaviors at a slightly higher level than their 
raw source lines!

Also, why isn't logged_in_member called from a "before" action? And

I would also build a scratch Rails site and throw the "salted authentication" 
plugin at it. That generates a very nice set of unit tests which show how things 
like this are done, IIRC!

member = stub_model(Member)

The best suggestion that I can come up with is: Outline Tables for 
Scenario Outlines and Inline Tables for regular scenarios.

As far as the wiki goes then I suggest a general entry with the heading 
"Tables".  This page should contain a brief description of each type of 
table explaining where each is encountered together with links to their 
respective example.  Nothing overly elaborate, just a single place to 
note that their is more than one type and that their employment and 
syntax differs somewhat.

Cucumber is a marvellous tool, but the rate of enhancement ofttimes 
leaves me  behind for a bit.  However, I far prefer having to sprint now 
and then rather than dragging a moribund tool around behind me, wishing 
that it had this or did that.

It won't work right out of the box as it uses selenium in the end. It  
should however be quite easy to rewrite the two commands that access  
selenium directly if WebDriver makes it possible to execute js in the  
loaded document.

I did not really look into WebDriver yet, but is there a ruby api?

Sounds like a missing feature, actually. RSpec's own suite has a
forker, which I'm pretty sure that Aslak wrote and is likely the
source of the cucumber option you're talking about, but it is not
exposed as an API, yet. I think it should be. Wanna patch it?

Sorry I don't understand what you mean by this, could you be more
specific, perhaps a command to run or some more detail.

Thanks

Hi,

On my Rails app, when I run 'rake features', it runs it in development
mode.  Which is weird.  And messes up my development database.

What can I do to force it to run in test mode?

What Cucumber version are you on?
Did you upgrade without reading the changelog? (History.txt)

Hehe. Thanks. Hopefully there won't be any major changes to the

Subject: [rspec-users] RSpec support on .Net with Gallio.
Message-ID: <35B097ECF1D846F2AD8563D6F4D3869F@Atom>

Hi,
I'm getting ready to produce an RSpec adapter for use with the Gallio test
automation platform (http://www.gallio.org/) on the .Net DLR via IronRuby.

The idea is to open up RSpec to a wider audience of .Net developers who
might like to write their tests, *ahem* specs ;-), using a friendly syntax
in a dynamically typed language such as Ruby.

Anyways, this is still a work in progress but I wanted to check on a couple
of legal points:

1. Is it cool to redistribute RSpec in source code form for non-commercial
purposes?  I was unable to find the RSpec license to confirm.  Gallio itself
is open source and is distributed using the Apache License 2.0.

2. I would like to be able to identify the RSpec framework by way of an icon
in Gallio.  Unfortunately I was unable to locate an official logo.  Assuming
there is one, I'd like permission to include an RSpec icon in Gallio.  The
icon will be used in the following ways:

- As a plugin icon when displaying a list of associated plugins.
- As a preference icon when providing options for configuring associated
plugins.
- As an installed feature icon when providing options for installing
associated plugins.
- As a test framework icon when decribing the list of supported test
frameworks and when presenting a report about tests that have been run
specifically using that framework.

Do you have a suitable 16x16 and 32x32 icon file that I can use for this
purpose?

Thanks,
Jeff.

Well, I looked it, and it seems that the RSpec spectask does in fact
run rspec in a separate process using the system command.

So I tried to make a spectask to run the specs after require in
activesupport by adding this in my rake file:

desc "Run all specs with activesupport"
Spec::Rake::SpecTask.new(:spec_as) do |t|
  t.spec_opts = ['--options', "spec/spec.opts"]
  t.ruby_opts = ['-rrubygems', '-ractive_support']
  t.spec_files = FileList['spec/**/*_spec.rb']
  t.verbose = true
end

Unfortunately, it seems that the ruby command only handles a single -r
option, the -rrubygems gets ignored and things fail because it can't
find active_support.rb, the same thing happens if I just try:

$ruby -rrubygems -ractive_support -e'puts "Hello"'

Right now the only approach I can think of is to somehow set an
environment variable which my spec helper would look at to determine
whether to require activesupport, but I don't even know if that's
possible with Kernel#system particularly in a platform independent
way.

You have duplicate step matchers, one in webrat_steps.rb at line 10 and 
the other in forums_steps at line 1.  The regexp /^I go to (.+)$/ 
matches the same thing as /^I go to the homepage$/.  Change them so as 
to be more specific.

/^ I go to the forum (.+)$/

and

/^I go to the user homepage$/

Personally, I drop the leading pronoun together with the start/end of 
line symbols as well.

/\bgo to the user homepage\b/

Follow up.  I figured it out.  The problem wasn't that Ruby doesn't
allow multiple -r options, it was that the way it's done -rubygems
-rsomegem won't work since -r doesn't use the same mechanism as
require so that rubygems doesn't get involved.

I fixed it by having an auxiliary .rb files which require rubygems and
either activesupport or tzinfo and -r requiring that.

Is there a way to tell autospec for rails to run _all_ the spec files
in the spec directory a la spec/**/*_spec.rb instead of just the ones
in model/controller/etc? I've experimented with adding my own mappings
in <project_dir>/.autotest but haven't had any luck.

I think I've actually realised this must be happening because we're  
using an old version of webrat - I've just set up a fresh rails app  
with shiny new cucumber and webrat version and it reports just the  
exception backtrace in the console, rather than the whole HTML error  
page.

That hook is handy though, thanks for the tip Ben.

I think we're talking about different things actually. Do you know  
about the #within method in webrat?

I'm really not sure what I'm doing wrong so I tried started from
scratch still with no positive results.

Here's my setup:
rails 2.3.2
rspec 1.2.6
rspec-rails 1.2.6
ZenTest 4.0.0

Here's what I did:
$ rails foo
$ cd foo
$ ./script/generate rspec
$ ./script/generate rspec_model Bar
$ rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=test
$ autospec # => runs and passes one example
$ mkdir spec/something
$ touch ./autotest spec/something/lol_spec.rb
$ autospec -v # => correctly does not find a mapping for
spec/something/lol_spec.rb

Then I edit the files like so:

./autotest:
Autotest.add_hook :initialize do |at|
  at.add_mapping(%r%^spec/something/.*_spec\.rb$%) do
    at.files_matching(%r%^spec/something/.*_spec\.rb$%)
  end
end

spec/something/lol_spec.rb:
describe "Lol" do
  it "should do a thing" do
    false.should be_true
  end
end

$ autospec -v # => still not finding a match for spec/something/lol_spec.rb
loading autotest/rails_rspec
No tests matched app/helpers/application_helper.rb
No tests matched spec/rcov.opts
No tests matched test/test_helper.rb
No tests matched lib/tasks/rspec.rake
No tests matched Rakefile
No tests matched README
No tests matched .autotest
No tests matched spec/something/lol_spec.rb
No tests matched test/performance/browsing_test.rb
No tests matched spec/spec.opts
/opt/local/bin/ruby
/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-1.2.6/bin/spec --autospec
spec/models/bar_spec.rb -O spec/spec.opts
.

Finished in 0.135414 seconds

1 example, 0 failures

Sorry to be so verbose but I'm honestly very lost at this point...
I've also tried variations of this the add_mapping method by using the
block variables but no go.

I think it should. There is a very blurry line between user doc and
developer doc, and by having it in the Wiki it's easier for everyone
to improve it.

Subject: [rspec-users] REG: Colour setting for html logs
Message-ID: <bab4d34886963c0b3b982e9138d71442@ruby-forum.com>

Hi,
When i run some testcases using cucumber sample.feature --format
html>features.html.

1) After execution, By default in the html file, background colour is
black.
How can i set the background color any other colour i want. Like we can
set
other passed, failed colours using the below command.

export CUCUMBER_COLORS=passed=white

2) The generated HTML just gives the scenarios description but its doest
not show then no of scenarious passed or failed e.tc
How can get the information in htmloutput as well.


Please help me in this regard.

Thanks,
Anil kumar

Currently we do not support customising any of the colours in the HTML 
formatter. These are all defined within a css file.

Rather than passing colours on the command line for the HTML formatter I 
would prefer if you could specify your own css file to use.

Perhaps:
@@@
cucumber --format html --css my_own_special_colours.css
@@@

The other option which is possible now is to create your own formatter 
(http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/custom-formatters) 
extending the HTML formatter. Overide 'def inline_css' so that it 
provides your own CSS file.

This is the option I recommend. I'm not keen on adding a new switch to
the cucumber command line just to accommodate for one of the
formatters.

The Rake task has a lib attribute (t.libs = ...). Could you try to set that?

Hi,

Suppose you have a file with dozens of examples within several
describe/context blocks, and you wanted to focus on just one example.
Is there an easy way to run just that one example instead of all the
examples in the file?



Cheers,

Subject: [rspec-users]  [Cucumber] JUnit, Spring and autowiring
Message-ID: <23595316.post@talk.nabble.com>


We are having trouble with JUnit-tests that are doing dependency injection in
the setup of database connections. The stacktrace identifies autowiring of
sessionFactory as the problem. During bean creation of sessionFactory we get
a NoSuchMethodError; probably because of trouble when initializing the cglib
class net.sf.cglib.proxy.Enhancer. I am using cucumber-maven-plugin on a
pretty standard Spring project with Spring MVC, Hibernate and Java 1.6,
deploying to Tomcat and Jetty. 

-- Test Class (autowiring daoImpl): 
[code=java]
@ContextConfiguration(locations = {"/test-config-db.xml"})
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
public class SdbCollectorDbTest {
 
    @Autowired
    private EventFactory eventFactory;
 
    @Autowired
    @Qualifier("sdbDaoImpl") // tried using autowiring by name, it made no
difference
    protected SdbDao sdbDao;
[/code]
 
-- DaoImpl (autowiring sessionFactory):
[code=java]
@Repository
@Qualifier("sdbDaoImpl") // tried using autowiring by name, it made no
difference
@Transactional(readOnly = true) 
public class SdbDaoImpl implements SdbDao {
 
    @Autowired
    private SessionFactory sessionFactory;
[/code]
 
-- Bean-config for sessionFactory and transactionManager: 
[code=xml]

This looks like the problem here. Can you show us line 4 of your  
spec_helper file?

I'm pretty sure it's because you didn't run "script/generate rspec"
when you upgraded to 1.2.x. 'spec/story' loaded rspec's story runner,
which hasn't been part of rspec since pre 1.2.

I'm honestly sure that nobody cares, but this list needs to split, I can't
handle the volume of `junk` that is completely irrelevant because I am
subscribed looking for to keep up to date with cucumber wisdom; I'm going to
see how this message is received, and unsubscribe myself later today.
The SNR ratio is absurd, and the list users should really consider a split.

Thanks for the things I've learned, and the tips and tricks that I have been
fortunate enough to pick up.

Subject: [rspec-users] Recommendations on multi-view scenarios?
Message-ID: <4A117890.3010201@haskinferguson.net>

I'm trying to find out best practices for a multi-view scenario.  Take 
the classic example of ecommerce, where you might first enter address 
information, then credit card information, then confirm it all and the 
purchase is made.

Seems to me this has to be done with a separate scenario for each view?

The whole process would be:

Scenario: I purchase a widget by paying for it with a credit card
  Given I am logged in as Sheila
  And I have a widget in my cart that costs $5
  When I press "Checkout"
  And enter my address information
  And press "OK"
  And enter my credit card information
  And press "OK"
  And press "OK"
  Then my credit card balance should be reduced by $5
  And I have a completed transaction in my order history

But that seems really really wrong.  So I assume it needs to be like this?

Scenario: I purchase a widget by entering my address information
  Given I am logged in as Sheila
  And I have a widget in my cart that costs $5
  When I press "Checkout"
  And enter complete address information
  And press "OK"
  Then I do not get an error message
  And I am on the "credit card information" page

Scenario: I purchase a widget by entering my credit card information
  Given I am logged in as Sheila
  And I have a widget in my cart that costs $5
  And I am on the "credit card information page"
  When I enter valid credit card information
  And press OK"
  Then I do not get an error message
  And I am on the "confirm purchase" page
...etc...

Yes?  No?  Examples?

Thanks,

dwh

Message-ID: <627ad93f4950cf910ed1ef7883fea4b3@ruby-forum.com>


Hi,
Generally in cucumber, we write the preconditions in GIVEN block,
Is there any way in cucumber using which test scenario execution is
skipped, based on the Given block execution.
Because there is no point in executing the test scenario when
precondition itself fails.

Please help me in this regard

Over the entire weekend I received a little over 30 messages on this
list. I wouldn't exactly consider that high-volume or absurd.

I use both RSpec and Cucumber and I don't personally mind them being
on the same list as it allows me participate in discussions that
pertain to the full cycle of outside-in development. I can see where
you are coming from though since you only seem to care about the
Cucumber aspect of things. If the lists are split I will simply
subscribe to both.

A nice thing about having the two ML's combined at this point is that
discussions and questions which span the entire BDD process can be
asked and answered. The down-side of this is that not all folks who
use Cucumber use RSpec (or even Ruby).

I don't encourage the split, but I think it is becoming inevitable.
Cucumber itself is becoming large and wide. I can't think of a good
reason for Java programmers who want to use Cucumber to join the RSpec
ML.

See README.textile in simple and spring. It has some command line
snippets with classpath. I use this to omit Maven.

Zach,
You hit the nail on the head exactly, the problem was compounded by my being
on vacation for a week, and coming back to a flood of emails, regrettably my
gmail filters can't even take the strain, I can't restrict it accurately
enough, as there isn't enough standardization in subject tagging
([rspec-users] [cucumber]) to filter accurately.

It was a general moan on my part, and not really fair to air it to the list,
but looking at the archives, this comes up from time to time, and I agree
completely for anyone using the whole package, it is an invaluable
resource... I'm not sure what the solution is, or how my participation will
continue (not that the list will feel my absence!)

I do however want the best for the list, and to voice my distress with the
volume of traffic that could very well be largely irrelevant to the
`typical` user... as it happens we are using the rspec+cucumber stack with
MRI ruby, and a rails project, it doesn't get more mainstream for rspec and
cucumber than that, but even so I find most of the rspec centric
conversations on the list to be distracting and confusing.


Considerately,
- Lee

This usually indicates that one or more of your examples are leaking state.

I'm in IRC now - don't have too much time to spare but can spare a
couple of minutes if you pop into #rspec on freenode.

As a long-time RSpec, and now Cucumber user, to me the Java stuff is
the noise <G>.

Rick,
To me too, maybe we could get some mileage by just having a convention of
tagging subjects properly [rspec-users][cucumber][java] etc.. and people
could filter out what they just don't care about

Actually, looking at today's mail, its the Java thread that broke the
proverbial camel's back and prompted me to post this thread

Subject: [rspec-users] Cucumber + Authorize.net CIM
Message-ID: <49397b007d1e87b661ca3e6b131134e6@ruby-forum.com>

Hi all,

I'm curious how one would recommend testing authorize.net customer
information manager storage with cucumber stories.

In my checkout process testing, my code sends user profile/card/address
information to the authorize.net test servers, which then stores the
sensitive data for me.  Obviously, transactions do not remove this data,
as it's not in my database.  My models are set to destroy the data with
callbacks, but since destroys aren't called on my models these callbacks
are never triggered.  Therefor, subsequent tests fail since I have
artifacts left on the Authorize.net CIM.

I'm reluctant to remove use_transactional_fixtures, but I don't really
see any other options or hooks to use to fix my situation, short of
using a Before hook that manually destroys all models in my test db.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Regards,
Dave Nawara

David Chelimsky and I have decided that it's now best to create a
separate mailing list for Cucumber.
The RSpec mailing lists remain the same, but we're hoping that you
will all move Cucumber related discussions to this new list.
I have already sent an invitation to the 98 people who have provided
patches to Cucumber (taken from the Git log). Others can subscribe
manually.

See you at http://groups.google.com/group/cukes

Introduce an abstraction layer for that site with an API you define.
You'll have one implementation of that API that just sends requests to
authorize.net. You'll use this in production.

Implement the same API in a different class, but instead of sending
requests to authorize.net, just hard code some users and roles. Use
this implementation when you run Cucumber.

Subject: [rspec-users] Cucumber rake/webrat issue.
Message-ID: <8F60A90E-3581-48EE-99BC-EFE64DF1B90A@gmail.com>

I'm probably missing something really obvious, but I just upgraded  
cucumber, rspec/rails, and webrat on a project, and for some reason,  
cucumber is not seeing any of the webrat steps (or bmabey's email  
steps) when running from rake.  It seems ok when running using the  
cucumber binary.

The versions are (most recent of the following):
bmabey-email_spec (0.1.3)
cucumber (0.3.5, 0.3.2, 0.3.0)
rspec (1.2.6, 1.2.4)
rspec-rails (1.2.6, 1.2.4)
webrat (0.4.4)

My env.rb looks like this:

# Sets up the Rails environment for Cucumber
ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= "test"
require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../../config/ 
environment')
require 'cucumber/rails/world'
require 'email_spec/cucumber'

require 'cucumber/formatter/unicode' # Comment out this line if you  
don't want Cucumber Unicode support
Cucumber::Rails.use_transactional_fixtures
Cucumber::Rails.bypass_rescue # Comment out this line if you want  
Rails own error handling
                               # (e.g. rescue_action_in_public /  
rescue_responses / rescue_from)

require 'webrat'

Webrat.configure do |config|
   config.mode = :rails
end

require 'cucumber/rails/rspec'
require 'webrat/core/matchers'


Lib tasks cucumber.rake looks like:
$LOAD_PATH.unshift(RAILS_ROOT + '/vendor/plugins/cucumber/lib') if  
File.directory?(RAILS_ROOT + '/vendor/plugins/cucumber/lib')

begin
   require 'cucumber/rake/task'

   Cucumber::Rake::Task.new(:features) do |t|
     t.fork = true
     t.cucumber_opts = %w{--format pretty}
   end
   task :features => 'db:test:prepare'
rescue LoadError
   desc 'Cucumber rake task not available'
   task :features do
     abort 'Cucumber rake task is not available. Be sure to install  
cucumber as a gem or plugin'
   end
end

Do you perhaps have a ~/.autotest with a hook to :initialize ?
If so, let it return nil, like this:

Autotest.add_hook :initialize do |at|
  %w{.svn .hg .git}.each {|exception|
    at.add_exception(exception)
  }
  nil
end


It's documented, but a nasty default behaviour.

Did you read the History on how to upgrade?  If not see if it helps.. 
here is the pertinent info:

** IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTES FOR RAILS USERS **

Running Cucumber features in the same Ruby interpreter as Rake doesn't 
seem to work,
so you have to explicitly tell the task to fork (like it was doing by 
default in prior
versions). In lib/tasks/cucumber.rake:

  Cucumber::Rake::Task.new(:features) do |t|
    t.fork = true # Explicitly fork
    t.cucumber_opts = %w{--format pretty}
  end

(If you run script/generate cucumber this will be done for you).
Alternatively you can omit forking and run features like this:

  RAILS_ENV=test rake features

However, setting the RAILS_ENV is easy to forget, so I don't recommend 
relying on this.

What line/file is this last bit happening on? I wonder if the YML
problem is a red herring.

Subject: [rspec-users] Using "return" in rspec test
Message-ID: <4A121EA0.2030004@employees.org>

Hi,

I am still new to rspec and I wonder if anyone can give me some insight 
about the problem I have encountered.  I notice whenever I use "return" 
in my test, it will skip all the examples and exit right out of my test 
run.  Here is a small example that demonstrate the problem:

describe "This tests uses return in my code" do
  it "should print Hello" do
      puts "Hello"    
      # skip some test scenario if product is in demo mode
      if @product.demoMode?
          return;
     else
       # rest of the test goes here.
     end
  end
 
  it "should print hi" do
      puts "hi"
  end
end

With the above spec, the second "it should print hi" test will never get 
executed. 
I found it would be very useful to use "return" to skip some of the test 
code if a particular scenario occurs.  So I wonder if I cannot use 
"return" to achieve this, is there any way I can workaround it?

Thanks,

--Gary

use 'break'

(However, generally speaking, tests should either pass or fail, and they should 
not skip any blocks.)

Gary,
It's better to not have an if/else in a test.

Why not try:

describe "This tests uses return in my code" do

   context "in demo mode" do
     @product.stub!(:demoMode?).and_return(true)
     something.should be_true
   end

   context "not in demo mode" do
     @product.stub!(:demoMode?).and_return(false)
     something.should_not be_true
   end

end

Yeah. I apologize that was a typo on my part. It should have said ./.autotest

There are a few spots which draw my attention.  At spec line 4 you
create a mock Page with #save that always fails (succesfull save
returns true).  Is that intentional?  At line 9 you .and_return a
value from a variable you don't set anywhere.  Moreover the "should
set @context" is imo a spec smell (even though it's in description
string), because it refers to internal state of a PagesController
instance, which you should not be interested in, but the external
behavior.

Could that have something to do with the fact that you end up stubbing
Page.new one or two times before setting the expectation on it at line
14?  It shouldn't, but you never know.

> I can not find why Page model does not receive new call, and playing

Could your filter be failing and the failure not showin up somehow?
Does "should set @context" _really_ succeed?  Comment the other
example one out and then try again.  Generally you shouldn't expect
your examples (or specs) to run in any particular order.

Hi,
I think i am not clear.
My query is while running the testcases,
Some times precondition of testcase fails, when precondition itself 
fails there is no point in executing the testcase further.
so , is there any way in cucumber to skip execution of scenario when 
precondition of testcase fails.

Thanks,
Anil

  @response    = ActionController::TestResponse.new

describe ChannelsController do

end

Now when i run this file i get error which says

@controller is nil: mke sure you set it in your test's setup method.

In a Scenario if any step fails the following steps of that scenario  
are skipped.

This is the current behaviour of Cucumber.  Older versions of Cucumber 
had some trouble with properly skipping these steps.

The intention is that when a Before block raises an error, the steps
of the scenario are skipped. However, this isn't working properly, but
a fix is in progress:

I posted this on the new list, but this is what I had, and it looks  
correct to me. (I re-ran the generator.)

Where is this file? For rspec-rails to know that it's supposed to be a
controller spec, it either needs to be inside the
PROJECT_ROOT/spec/controllers directory, or you need to change the
describe declaration to this:

describe ChannelsController, :type => :controller do

Get rid of this setup. First of all, RSpec does this for you
automatically inside controller example groups. Secondly, this is
outside any example group (describe block), so it's not related to
anything anyway.

I'd move user_attributes inside the example group too. That way it's
scoped. If not, it's going to be available to (and possibly in
conflict with) any files that get loaded after this one.

Uh, where are all the 'a's in the backtrace?

Subject: [rspec-users] When to stub_model?
Message-ID: <499150.46456.qm@web23901.mail.ird.yahoo.com>

I am trying to specify a controller with RSpec for the first time.

I have been using mock_model to date but, given that the models are fully implemented, I am wondering if I should be using stub_model.

Based on what I have read, I am struggling to understand the advantages that stub_model over mock_model might provide.

Should I be using stub_model and if so, why?

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for quick response

My channels_controller_spec.rb file is inside controller spec only
i.e. PROJECT_ROOT/spec/controllers/channels_controller_spec.rb.

As per your suggestion i removed the setup method and moved 
user_attributes under example groups.

but i am getting the same error which says  RuntimeError in 
'ChannelsController Brand Manager should not create channel'
@controller is nil: make sure you set it in your test's setup method.

Still confused why is this coming again.

Following is the backtrace(Regarding a's its a minor prob.will do it)
RuntimeError in 'ChannelsController Brand Manager should not create 
channel'
@controller is nil: make sure you set it in your test's setup method.

It looks like you're calling the file from the spec/controllers
directory. Just for fun, step up to the project root and run:

script/spec spec/controllers/channels_controller_spec1.rb

That's not an expectation so it won't pass or fail. I'd bet that's
returning false, which is not going to make a step fail (only an error
will).

Subject: [rspec-users] RSpec for Rails plugin
Message-ID: <a0be4d6602f270b343f4c6afa8cc9a0a@ruby-forum.com>

I'm trying to write specs to test a Rails plugin and I'm not clear on
what needs to be installed and required.  Works fine for many specs, but
view testing fails (i.e. anything relying rspec-rails over just rspec).

In other words, how can I use the rspec-rails gem to test a plugin?

Thanks,
Sarah

*Should* is a big word here. It depends.

When you use a stub model, you get a real instance of your AR model  
object, with the database connection crippled so you can't  
accidentally do something that will make your specs slow. The benefit  
of this is that you get all the methods on the model available to the  
controller. For example, if you have a User class which takes a  
date_of_birth attribute in it's constructor, you can call the #age  
method.

This can make your tests easier to read.

The cost of this is that your controller specs will be covering code  
in the model classes as well as the controller you're explicitly  
testing. There is a chance you'll make a change to the #age method on  
your User (maybe you want to specify in days rather than years), make  
the user specs pass, and check in believing you're done. Unwittingly,  
you have just broken the controller specs too.

If you read what from the really experienced guys who started this  
stuff off[1] say, you'll hear that mocks are really a design tool. By  
creating a mock_model in your controller specs rather than leaning on  
the stub_model, you're designing your 'ideal model', rather than being  
constrained by whatever default methods activerecord gives you, or you  
have already written. I often find that this process drives out much  
more elegant interfaces onto the models, and sometimes even shows me  
where I need to introduce an intermediate class.

I think this is something you really have to play around with for  
yourself to find the right balance for you and your team.

How can you tell from _outside_ if the context is properly set or not?
What does your controller use the context for?  And what happens if
the controller does or doesn't know about the context?

But @user.items[0].equal?(@item) wiil return false. They're not the
same object. One of the mysteries of AR associations and proxies.

Subject: [rspec-users] Problem with testing Rails action that uses return
	keyword
Message-ID: <245e6fe5-9449-458a-97df-fb9174940b83@n8g2000vbb.googlegroups.com>

Hi,

I'm trying to test Rails action that looks like this:

def create
  unless facebook_session
    authentication_failed and return
  end
  ...
  @facebook_user = facebook_session.user
  ...
end

authentication_failed method redirects to '/'.

The test looks like this:

it 'should call authentication_failed' do
  controller.should_receive(:authentication_failed)
  get :create
end

The problem is that in the test, despite the fact that
facebook_session is nil and the authentication_failed method is
called, the action does not return and I got error in
facebook_session.user line, because facebook_session is nil.

If I move the return keyword to the next line, the test complains then
about missing create.erb template.

Any ideas how to solve it?

Sorry, forgot to get back to you Luke.

I'm convinced. We'll add an AfterStep hook. Do you want to give a stab
at a patch? Start by writing a feature - see
features/after_block_exceptions.feature for a good example of the
style we like...

Can I make a mild plea for After(:step) rather than AfterStep? I think  
it looks nicer and it's one less method added to the API...

Have you seen what Matt added recently?

https://rspec.lighthouseapp.com/projects/16211/tickets/330-gracefully-handle-exceptions-in-after-block#ticket-330-11

I think this should cover your use case... WDYT?

RSpec now ships with an autospec command that acts as a wrapper.. are 
you using it?

Subject: [rspec-users] Issue with jruby and cucumber step with 4 parameters
Message-ID: <8e15872b0905192029w6da935bbgf70464effd7fcc2@mail.gmail.com>

Hi - sorry for the cross-list post, but this issue happens only with
cucumber and jruby, and I'm not 100% sure which has the problem. It
doesn't happen with non-j ruby though.
Versions:
  cucumber 0.2.3
  jruby 1.2.0 on Ubuntu amd64

When I have a cucumber feature with a "Then" step: (well, really it's
an "And" step):
	And the association between "oh" and "apf" has an active adpoint
named "ap" with id "7890"
which translates to the ruby code:
       Then /^the association between "(.*)" and "(.*)" has an active
adpoint named "(.*)" with id "(.*)"$/ do |arg1,arg2, arg3, arg4|
           # nothing needed here to cause the problem...
       end

In JRuby (with --backtrace enabled), I get:
    And the association between "oh" and "apf" has an active adpoint
named "ap" with id "7890" #
test/features/step_definitions/migration_steps.rb:122
      wrong # of arguments(4 for 3) (ArgumentError)
      /home/yellow/Projects/cmt_workspace/cmtapps/jruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/cucumber-0.3.5/bin/../lib/cucumber/core_ext/instance_exec.rb:20:in
`cucumber_instance_exec'
      /home/yellow/Projects/cmt_workspace/cmtapps/jruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/cucumber-0.3.5/bin/../lib/cucumber/core_ext/instance_exec.rb:38:in
`cucumber_run_with_backtrace_filtering'
      /home/yellow/Projects/cmt_workspace/cmtapps/jruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/cucumber-0.3.5/bin/../lib/cucumber/core_ext/instance_exec.rb:10:in

      /home/yellow/Projects/cmt_workspace/cmtapps/jruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/cucumber-0.3.5/bin/../lib/cucumber/step_definition.rb:105:in
`invoke'
... rest of stack trace elided

In the normal ruby version of cucumber, this works fine.

I looked at the specific code line, but it's just a call to:
   instance_exec(*args, &block)

Does JRuby have a problem with large numbers of regexp capture groups?
 Or is there something else going on here?

Hmm.  Okay, tried that but:

$ autospec
(Not running features.  To run features in autotest, set AUTOFEATURE=true.)
loading autotest/rails_rspec
Autotest style autotest/rails_rspec doesn't seem to exist. Aborting.

I'm running my rails rspec examples just fine manually...

Here's my first pass:

http://github.com/weplay/cucumber/commit/39601bc5eb6f0761dd7bedddc5484cdd895ca787

Not crazy about the way it tracks the current_scenario or the  
exception_fails_scenario parameter on Hook#execute_in. Unlike Before  
and After hooks, I think it's preferable for AfterStep to fail the  
step than to call scenario.fail!

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Luke

I haven't used Windows in a few years, but some simple googling turned 
up this:

Rails 2.3 requires rspec 1.2 or greater.

Can you tell me the difference why it was not running earlier and now it 
is running.Just for my understanding.

Rails 2.3 requires rspec 1.2 or greater.

Unfortunately, you're going to have to run it from the project root
because that's the only it works, apparently. You can file a bug
report at http://rspec.lighthouseapp.com if you're interested.

I'm going to need a bit more context than that. Please post some code,
rspec examples and backtraces.

I agree - I'm not crazy about those small hacks you did, but
completely understand why you did it. I'd probably have done the same
myself. Some refactorings are needed in order to make this cleaner.
They are small enough hacks that I'll pull it in :-)

Thank a lot.
But is the case that all controller specs are run from the root 
directory.
I had had written spec models and it runs fine from inside the spec 
directory.

I will sure file a ticket on the site u mentioned.
Also it will be good if i get to know the reason behind this :-)

That would be confusing, since After already takes arguments (tags).

The cucumber-maven plugin is intended to run Cucumber features, not
JUnit tests, so I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do.
There is nothing JRuby or Cucumber specific in your stack trace.

Could you please follow the guidelines for contributing and commit a
fork to the cucumber_java project that shows how to reproduce the
problem?

Forum.count.should == counts.to_i
doesn't work.

I didn't have ZenTest installed.  I just did, but I still get the same 
error.  Should I *not* have grosser-autotest installed?

$ gem list | grep -i test
grosser-autotest (4.0.4)
test-unit (2.0.2)
ZenTest (4.0.0)

Thanks Matt. Very helpful.

I have tried out stub_model. The constructor of one of my models
(Namespace) requires a mandatory :name attribute to be provided. So
when I try to stub_model it - e.g. representative_namespace =
stub_model(Namespace) - I get the following spec error.

1)
RuntimeError in 'ContextsController POST create authenticated user
should assign a representative namespace to the new context'
A namespace must be assigned a valid name
/Users/leelon/work/cbox/app/models/namespace.rb:696:in
`raise_no_name_error'
/Users/leelon/work/cbox/app/models/namespace.rb:688:in
`get_processed_name'
/Users/leelon/work/cbox/app/models/namespace.rb:643:in `set_name'
/Users/leelon/work/cbox/app/models/namespace.rb:64:in `initialize'
./spec/controllers/contexts_controller_spec.rb:37:
script/spec:10:

Is there a way around this while still making :name a mandatory
requirement of the constructor? I have tried stubbing out :name in the
call to stub_model but this doesn't help:

representative_namespace = stub_model(Namespace, :name => 'A name')

Thanks.

I was having the same problem until I discoved that I forgot to setup 
the .autotest_images folder referenced in my .autotest file.

Subject: [rspec-users] [Cucumber] [Ann] Salad, aka Multi-instance Cucumber
Message-ID: <FFA15466-5EC4-4DA7-B258-CB0D0F255F08@superinfinite.com>

(Apologies for crossposting)

Yesterday, my pair and I wrote a rough rake task to run features  
against multiple instances of Cucumber. We decided to call it Salad,  
since multiple cucumbers makes a nice salad :). The script is very  
rough, and scratches mostly our own itch. The rake task itself can be  
found at http://gist.github.com/114709.

On a 8-core Mac Pro running with 8 instances, we see a speed increase  
of roughly 75%, reducing running time of our entire suite from ~7m30s  
to ~2m30s. We've only tested this script on Mac OS X 10.5.

Basic flow is this:
- Create n extra test databases, similar to the test database in  
config/database.yml
- Split all features evenly in n feature "groups"
- Fork n Cucumber processes, and let them run their designated feature  
groups

We both are neither Cucumber internal experts, nor Ruby experts, so  
this could use a lot of work. I personally would love to have this all  
as a command line option to cucumber itself.

Two major caveats:
- You need to explicitly set RAILS_ENV to 'test'. We couldn't find an  
easy way to force this env from within the rake task
- The project we used to test this all on has some random failures on  
specific features with this rake task, whereas rake features doesn't  
report any failures at all. This could probably have something to do  
with either transactional fixtures or some sort of memory leaks. We  
found it happens more frequent when using more instances of cucumber.

So, try it out from http://gist.github.com/114709, and post your  
findings!

cheers,
bartz

Try removing it.

Make sure to grab the latest ZenTest (which you now have), and rspec 
(and rspec-on-rails, if you are in a rails project).

Aslak used to have some good abbreviation for this phrase: what versions 
of everything are you using?

- rspec
- rspec on rails (if in a rails project)
- rails (if in a rails project)
- OS

I can't remember if you can do that, to be honest. I think the hash of  
parameters to stub_model is used to set up stubs on the object - so  
they won't get passed to the constructor. Hopefully someone else on  
the list should be able to tell you if this is possible.

So why not make the API be like

After(:scenario_tagged => "@emails") { clean_up_emails }
After(:each_scenario) { clean_up_database } #the default
After(:step) { do_stuff_for_luke }

Having less methods makes the protocol more extensible, IMO.

Matt, I have since looked at the source for stub_model on RSpec's RDoc
and I think you're right and it's not possible. I guess one option
would be to fallback to mock_model for this model.

You're confusing me now :)

So, if I understand correctly, this fails:

  Forum.count.should == counts.to_i

and this passes

  Forurm.count == counts.to_i

The fact that the latter is passing is a false positive, because it is
not actually testing anything. It is a boolean statement that returns
true or false, and it doesn't matter whether it returns true or false
because the step will pass in either case. The only thing that makes a
step fail is an error. When you say "Forum.count.should ==
counts.to_i" and those two values are not equal, an ExpectationNotMet
error is raised by RSpec. In that case you get a failure.

The reason "Forum.count.should == counts.to_i" is failing is because
... well, it is failing. Forum.count is returning 0 when you're
expecting 3.

HTH,
David

Any thoughts on how I might change the setting on the fly (or stub

Have you looked at the rails code that uses it? That's what you'd need
to look at to know what to stub.

Thanks.  Ok -- removing grosser-autotest lets autotest run, but it's 
only running my unit tests, not rspec:

$ autotest
(Not running features.  To run features in autotest, set AUTOFEATURE=true.)
loading autotest/rails
/usr/bin/ruby1.8 -I.:lib:test -rubygems -e "%w[test/unit 
test/unit/design_test.rb test/functional/admin/user_controller_test.rb 
test/unit/helpers/admin/user_helper_test.rb test/unit/garment_test.rb 
test/functional/admin/admin_controller_test.rb 
test/unit/helpers/admin/admin_helper_test.rb].each { |f| require f }" | 
unit_diff -u

Here's all my versions:

cucumber (0.3.3)
rails (2.3.2, 2.2.2)
rspec (1.2.6, 1.1.12)
rspec-rails (1.2.6)
ZenTest (4.0.0)

OS: Ubuntu 8.10

I *was* missing rspec-rails, but even after installing it, same result 
as above.

Is there some configuration I need to do to get rid of unit/functional 
tests and only run rspec+cucumber?

Thanks!

Subject: [rspec-users] Cucumber vs Rails Fixtures

Cucumberists:

Apologies for not jumping into some wild alternate fixture (or mock!) system, 
but the unit tests at my new day gig are >cough< hanging by a thread as it is.

I need to show off some cute Cuke, _without_ rocking the boat!

How do I actually use real, pre-existing Rails fixtures, the same as the unit 
tests use? For familiarity?

Putting this at the top of the step.rb seems just a leeettle bit tacky...

   $fixtures_installed ||= (
     ENV['RAILS_ENV'] = 'test'
     RAILS_ENV.replace('test')
     system('rake db:fixtures:load') )

I have attempted to load Rails Fixtures on demand before, and I'm the first to 
admit their architecture sucks - loading them on demand ain't pretty!

And exactly why was 'rake features' running in RAILS_ENV=development mode? Do 
developers _like_ having their scratch database screwed up each time they run 
fixtures? Enquiring minds want to know!

Is this fabled .autotest file fully documented somewhere?  It keeps 
getting referenced in lots of answers and doc, but I haven't located 
complete doc on it.  I'm probably not looking in the right place...

thx

Subject: [rspec-users] How do I get additional information from the Matcher?
Message-ID: <4A14850E.3030406@employees.org>

Hi,

I am trying to implement my own matcher which use a special algorithm to 
do the semantics diff-ing between two proprietary configuration file.  
When come to the report, I would like my formatter to be able to have 
access to the original configuration file content as well as the 
diff-ing result.  By digging through the code, looks like all formatter 
can get is an ExpectationNotMetError with a string-based message 
embedded inside.  How do I make the matcher pass additional information 
to my formatter?  I see there is a class level variable called 
::Spec::Matchers.last_matcher which allows me to access the last 
matcher.  Is that the right away to implement this?  Or if there is any 
better way for me to add additional information into the 
ExpectationNotMetError exception?

Thanks,

--Gary

This eplains all there is to explain (though terse and not from
your use case)
   http://zentest.rubyforge.org/ZenTest/Autotest.html

and you now have to add code from that to your .autotest

If you want to clear existing mappings, and add new mappings,
while also ignoring any temp file created by cucumber (or autotest
will keep triggering because it saw an updated file; which
surprises me, as there is no mapping for those files...)
you get something like this:

Autotest.add_hook(:initialize) {|at|
  at.add_exception %r{^\.git}
  at.add_exception %r{^./tmp}
  at.clear_mappings  # take out the default (test/test*rb)
  at.add_mapping(%r{^lib/.*\.rb$}) {|filename, _|
    Dir['spec/**/*.rb']
  }
  nil
}

The nil make sure that other :initialize hooks get executed.
Very relevant if you have both ~/.autotest and .autotest

I guess I should add this in some form to the rspec wiki ;)

Bye,
Kero.

You are trying to visit the page for a 'forum' object (with ID=1) that  
does not exist in your database.

In each scenario, you need to imagine your application starts from a  
completely empty state, just like it would if you started the  
application with script/server.

You need a step in your scenario that says 'Given there is a Forum'  
which creates the record in the database.

If you don't mind me saying so, this question suggests to me that you  
have quite a bit to learn about Cucumber. While people on this list  
are pretty patient and helpful, they are also busy and will be more  
keen to help if you spend some time helping yourself too. I suggest  
you start with the recent railscast on Cucumber.

Message-ID: <200905211126.47411.michael@schuerig.de>


I'm trying to run the specs of the rspec-rails master branch, but both 
plain rake as well as rake spec fail. The default task fails because 
there is no cucumber.yml. rake spec fails, when it requires a file that 
is not part of the repo: rspec-rails/spec/spec_helper.rb refers to

require File.expand_path("#{dir}/../../../../spec/spec_helper")

Commenting out this line doesn't make everything magically work, of 
course. However, when I do that, I hit "uninitialized constant 
ActionController". So, I surmise that the missing spec_helper.rb among 
other things sees to it that Rails is properly required.

Any hints on how to get the specs to work?

I'm not aware of a single definitive source. There is some overall
autotest doc at http://zentest.rubyforge.org/ZenTest/Autotest.html,
but aside from looking at the code I don't know of a source that talks
about how/when .autotest gets loaded.

Anybody else know of such?

Right now the only way to run them is in the context of the rspec-dev
suite: http://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec-dev

I added this ticket:
https://rspec.lighthouseapp.com/projects/5645-rspec/tickets/822

Please feel free to comment on that ticket.

Message-ID: <6fd630b3-7faf-40bc-9d30-284da2e89787@d38g2000prn.googlegroups.com>

Hi All,

When I execute database actions within a before(:each) they are rolled
back after each example test has run. I expected that if I execute db
actions within a before(:all) they would all be rolled back after all
examples finished running. This appears not to be the case, in my
case. Is there a way to get this behavior?

Lawrence

What you suggest would break backwards compatibility.
I actually think that one method makes the protocol *less* extensible,
since there will always be compatibility issues.

Besides, I actually think Before(*tags), After(*tags) and
AfterStep(*tags) is more readable.
In any case, you don't have to write this a lot, only a couple of
times per project.

So we'll stick with the current API

Nothing built in, and it's probably not something we'd support in
rspec-rails, which simply wraps the transaction handling provided by
rails, which rolls back after every test method (equivalent of an
rspec example).

You're not the first to have asked for this, so having a solution for
it that would work with rails out of the box and with rspec would be
helpful to the community. But I think that would have to be in a
separate gem.

As a social workaround, would you mind to add a note to that effect to 
the rspec-rails README?

I keep learning things...
add_mapping returns nil, that's why it works for autotest/rspec.rb

But I've ran strace to confirm the problem I had with non-nil myself:
~/.autotest is ran *before* ./.autotest on my system (debian unstable).
Are you sure it's the other way around on your system?
I haven't seen autospec docs that claim one or the other.

Bye,
Kero.

No - you're correct - I had it wrong- and what you're experiencing
makes more sense. The local .autotest should load after the global
~/.autotest so it can do app-specific stuff.

I'll update the wiki page as soon as I can load it (having trouble
reaching github this moment).

Cheers,
David

5 months after the initial post, any experience to share? I am about to 
use one of these plugins in order to simplify my admin controllers code.

Thanks for your feedback

Subject: [rspec-users] Troble running controller spec
Message-ID: <aa7791b5ce5258a2e64918dfa852a8ad@ruby-forum.com>

Hi,

    I am trying to execute controller spec by referring to RSpec book
but it is diving me error.

Following are the details:
Ruby version : 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [i386-mswin32]
rspec - 1.2.4
rails - 2.1.2
OS - Vista Home

My channels_controller_spec.rb(which is under
rootproject/spec/controller directory) file contains:

require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../spec_helper')

describe ChannelsController do
  describe "Channel Creation" do
   before(:each) do
    @channel = mock_model(Channel, :save => nil)
    Channel.stub!(:new).and_return(@channel)
   end

   it "should create channel" do
    Channel.should_receive(:new).with(:brand_name => "test"
).and_return(@channel)
    post :create, :channel => { :brand_name => "test" }
  end

  it "should save channel" do
    @channel.should_receive(:save)
    post :create
  end
 end
end

Similarly my channels_controller.rb contains

def create
 @channel= Channel.new params[:channel]
 @channel.save
end

Now when i try to execute the spec it shows me error which i have
mentiond below along with its backtrace

FF.

I *think* Rails converts the keys in this hash to strings. Try:

Channel.should_receive(:new).with('brand_name' => 'test').
  and_return(@channel)

Message-ID: <6edfff72-8ba6-490d-b4a8-0ccf5685a7c6@o14g2000vbo.googlegroups.com>

Hey Folks,

I followed the instructions on http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/setting-up-selenium
and created 2 profiles: default and selenium. It works, but not if I
want to run one feature under a specifc profile. For example, I tried:

cucumber -p default --require features features/plain/
manage_users.feature

and I get all the tests including the selenium server.

What's goin' on like?

Thanks

Hi all,

It looks like the following line was removed from "/lib/spec/
expectations.rb" on April 11:

attr_accessor :differ

When I try to use cucumber (version 0.3.6), it tries to
call ::Spec:Expectations.differ= and fails.  There does not seem to be
anything in the history regarding the removal/deprecation of this
method -- is this a bug in rspec, bug in cucumber, both, or neither?

Depends on your viewpoint :)

Regardless of whose bug it is, this was fixed in the cucumber release
that followed the rspec release that broke cucumber (follow all that?)
So if it's recurred it sounds like a regression in cucumber.

Aargh profiles. The initial intention was that you could just do
cucumber -p foo.
And then you wouldn't have to type a lot of arguments.

The intention was *not* to use -p along with additional arguments,
although cucumber lets you do it by merging stuff together.

Using profiles as a mechanism to run various subsets of features and
step definitions that live underneath the same features directory is
something I do *not* recommend. It's much easier to have several
different root folders:

features # regular stuff
selenium_features # only selenium stuff

And a rake task for each. Or run cucumber selenium_features or
cucumber features as you see fit.

I know the wiki recommends all this crazy profile stuff. I'm sorry
about that - I didn't write it.

Try to add --verbose to see what's going on. Or better - organise your
features like I described above, and lose the profiles.

The actual command, error message and stacktrace would be helpful.

I somewhat disagree, the combination of profiles + tags is a good way to 
organize the features IMO.  The feature file talks about the feature 
regardless of if it uses JS or not.  So, if you have a feature that uses 
webrat 90% of the time but then has one or two scenarios that require JS 
you don't need to split that feature into two separate features files- 
you can just tag them.   I can see how having separate dirs can be 
helpful as well, but in general I kinda like the "crazy profile" stuff. :)

FWIW,

Good points Ben.

People ask questions almost daily about Selenium, and many of them
seem related to profiles. Since I don't use either of them much I'm
not in a good position to help people with it. That's why I recommend
people go for a less complex setup.

Did anyone ever figure out the factory_girl / machinist issues? I am 
having the same problems and can figure out how to fix it for the life 
of me. The first run works fine, then afterwards I get a bunch of these 
errors:

No blueprint for class Venue

Any ideas? Thanks!

I don't know about Machinist or Factory Girl.  Basically, here's the deal:

If those libraries use require instead of load, you are screwed.  Same 
goes for autoload'ing.

If those libraries internally use load, or load_dependency, and you have 
cache_classes = false in your dev env, you could try manually reloading 
it. 

Here's FixtureReplacement in script/console (@ version 2.1) after 
reload! is called:

Actually, I decided to make a tiny release.  See this commit:

Hey thanks.  That sounds like just the thing, but I'm kind of new to 
this stuff.  I guessed where to put it and it seemed to work so far. 
I'm adding notes as I go to the wiki: 
http://wiki.github.com/pat-maddox/rspec-plugin-generator/installation-and-basic-use

I'm following along with http://guides.rubyonrails.org/plugins.html but 
I'm feeling my way around in the dark a bit since I'm relatively new to 
rspec and plugins.  If anyone is inspired to read the new wiki page and 
let me know if there's any points I'm missing, that would be nice.

I expected to be able to run 'spec:plugins' but it appears to have no 
effect:
  $ rake spec:plugins
  (in /Users/sarah/src/yaffle_guide)

It does work if I call spec on the spec.rb file

$ spec vendor/plugins/yaffle/spec/yaffle_spec.rb
-- create_table(:hickwalls, {:force=>true})
   -> 0.0663s
-- create_table(:wickwalls, {:force=>true})
   -> 0.0114s
-- create_table(:woodpeckers, {:force=>true})
   -> 0.0075s
-- initialize_schema_migrations_table()
   -> 0.0011s
-- assume_migrated_upto_version(0)
   -> 0.0009s
.

Finished in 0.005407 seconds

1 example, 0 failures


With a plugin that has many spec.rb files, how do I run all of them?

Thanks,
Sarah

Subject: [rspec-users] undefined method `assert_select'
Message-ID: <bbe648c728bc5d834aa29bfc7437b484@ruby-forum.com>

I'm having trouble getting the specs to run for a plugin where I want to
fix a bug. (I've actually already found and fixed the bug, but I don't
want to submit a fix without a test!) When I started the specs weren't
running, but it may be that I'm using Rails 2.3.3 and the plugin has
been tested on 2.1 and earlier. I went through writing a spec for a very
simple plugin to get some perspective on how things fit together, and
I've resolved some issues, but still see this error:

$ spec
vendor/plugins/openlaszlo_plugin/spec/swfobject_view_helper_spec.rb
FFFFFFF

1)
NoMethodError in 'ActionView::Helpers::SwfObjectHelper swfobject_tag
should call swfobject.embedSWF'
undefined method `assert_select' for
#<ActiveSupport::TestCase::Subclass_1::Subclass_1:0x2281278>
./vendor/plugins/openlaszlo_plugin/spec/swfobject_view_helper_spec.rb:17:

line 17 is:
      html.should have_tag('script', /swfobject.embedSWF/)

Can anyone give me a hint?

Thanks,
Sarah

I am trying to make a call to a class/fxn I made, depending on whether
an Rspec test fails. If it fails, I want to make the call, otherwise I
won't need to.
Is there some error message or specific syntax for checking this? Also,
WHERE should I place this to pickup failed tests, and make the call?

Subject: [rspec-users] Writing specs pointed out I need to refactor my admin
	area
Message-ID: <f5238d5bf51d48ab85e6d85d2aa6f458@ruby-forum.com>

Hi,

My app now nearly has 100% coverage and when refactoring the code,
potential bugs are immediately pointed out. So that's a big win.

Moreover when writing specs for my controllers and views of the admin
zone, I quickly realized that I was often copying/pasting code and
tests. That annoyed me. Controller LOC: 700, associated tests LOC:
1500!!! That's stupid!

So I wrote an AdminController from which my other controllers inherit
from, and that enables me to drastically cut down the lines of redundant
code in the controller. But then what to do with the views? I still need
to make sure they get rendered correctly, so I still can cut down on the
tests.

One solution I see is to write an abstract set of views that controllers
will be using, but for some reason I think it will blow in my fa?e at
some point. Some views need to display images others don't, some display
a table others don't, etc.

What do you guys do for your admin zone to make sure it is well covered
with tests and that don't feel redundant? Do you use something like
Steamlined or ActiveScaffold?


Regards,

I order to use have_tag, it appears I have to include:

# just enough infrastructure to get 'assert_select' to work
require 'action_controller'
require 'action_controller/assertions/selector_assertions'
include ActionController::Assertions::SelectorAssertions

borrowed from: http://intertwingly.net/stories/2009/05/06/checkdepot.rb

Odd, because it seems like this used to work without that in a previous 
version of Rails, but I would need to investigate more to isolate what 
went wrong.  I figured I would go ahead and post this as something that 
works.

Confirmed that this is is required in Rails 2.3.2 and not in 2.1.0, 
although I still don't understand why.

Me neither :)

What version of rspec are you using?

I'm not sure why 'rake spec:plugins' is not working for you, but short
of solving that problem, you can type the spec command directly if you
have rspec and rspec-rails gems installed:

spec vendor/plugins/yaffle/spec

By default, that will pick up all the files below
vendor/plugins/yaffle/spec that end in _spec.rb. You can learn more
about how to use the command by typing:

spec --help

David

Right now the only supported place to pick up this information is in a
custom formatter. See
http://wiki.github.com/dchelimsky/rspec/custom-formatters to get
started.

Yep.  You might want to check out Spork[1].  It is a drop-in replacement 
for spec_server that uses Kernel.fork instead of reloading classes to 
ensure a clean app state.  My coworker, Tim Harper, wrote it and it has 
been working great for us so far.   (There is a little setup, so not 
quite drop-in but it just works with the --drb flag for rspec.)

That's absolutely awesome. 

Have there been any attempts to generalize this, so that mongrel will 
fork on each request (a la shotgun)?  (I'm still stuck on rails 2.0.2, 
so a non-rack based reloading scheme would be great).

Message-ID: <16827fa20905240925j69b511c9re5b61b87883beed3@mail.gmail.com>

Hi guys. I'm setting an expectation on a class method. For some
reason, the method isn't being stubbed, and the expectation isn't
seeing the call.

In KeywordListsController#create, I call the private method
#create_keywords_and_associate, which calls AdSenseHeavenParser#parse
.

Thus, some of my specs set an expectation on AdSenseHeavenParser#parse
. However, that expectation isn't stubbing out #parse .

In the "output" section of my paste:
    http://pastie.org/488160
you can see that the second line is "*** create_keywords_and_associate
***". However, that string shouldn't be printed if
AdSenseHeavenParser#parse is stubbed out.

I've been beating my head against this for a couple of hours. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Nick

The easiest for you is to use the debugger and go through each line in 
the controller.

Maybe @keyword_list.save is returning false? Stub it out and see by 
yourself.

So I tried to implement Django's AutoAdmin, but actually it quite 
quickly blew in my face. Although the views all look similar, there 
almost as many little differences as they are models and that's painful 
to abstract. So I prefer to write my views for each model.

Now I have another problem, so my models are fully covered, my 
controllers too, but what prevents my views from having for instance an 
incorrect form that would be posting incorrect parameters to my 
controllers? How do you test that? Cucumber + Webrat?

That's because it isn't a class method, it's an instance method, so instead of:

AdSenseHeavenParser.should_receive(:parse).with(keyword_list_contents).and_return({:keywords
=> [], :errors => []})

You should have
controller.should_receive(:parse).with(keyword_list_contents).and_return({:keywords
=> [], :errors => []})

Hi Fernando. In this case, I don't think it's a matter of using the debugger.

I've already stubbed out #save on @keyword_list, and confirmed that
AdSenseHeavenParser#parse is being called. I know the latter is
occuring because this is being displayed when the spec is run:
    *** create_keywords_and_associate ***
If AdSenseHeavenParser#parse was actually stubbed out, or wasn't
called at all, then that line wouldn't be displayed.

Hi Rick. I'm not sure what gave you the impression that #parse is an
instance method, but it definitely isn't.

#parse is a class method inside the AdSenseHeavenParser class.
KeywordListsController doesn't have a #parse method:

I suspect a problem in: require 'lib/adsense_heaven_parser', the code 
maybe never gets out of this require statement. The debugger would allow 
you to immediately clear things out.

Hi Fernando. I'm not sure what you mean by "the code never gets out of
this require statement".

However, that doesn't really matter. The call to #require shouldn't
happen, because the method is supposed to be stubbed out.

I up this old post, but I was having the same problem mocking super() so 
I had to alias_method_chain my method.

You are making a lot of suppositions that are not obvious to us. Nowhere 
in your pastie is your require call stubbed.

I just worked on this a bit with RailsBridge mentor, Zach Moazeni, who 
figured out that the problem was that I had not specifies a type for my 
view helper example group:

describe SwfObjectHelper, :type => :helper do

I thought I would post it here in case anyone else runs into the same 
issue.

No that's what confused me.

class KeywordListsController < ApplicationController
...
   private
...
  def create_keywords_and_associate(keyword_list_contents, keyword_list)
    puts '*** create_keywords_and_associate ***'
    require 'lib/adsense_heaven_parser'
    parsed_list = AdSenseHeavenParser.parse keyword_list_contents

The controller method has the require and then calls parse.

One thing which strikes me is that if Rails naming conventions were
being followed:

 1) the file name be lib/ad_sense_heaven_parser not lib/adsense_heaven_parser
 2) the require wouldn't be needed since it would be autoloaded.

Perhaps the problem lies there somewhere.

I'm not sure why the call to #require would need to be stubbed.

What I'm trying to say is that I've set a message expectation on
AdSenseHeavenParser#parse , which should prevent the method from being
called in the first place.

Yup! But in my specs, when the controller method calls #parse , the
stub should consume the method call.

Normally, the file would be named like that. However, the class
represents a service called "AdSense Heaven", which doesn't have a
space between "Ad" and "Sense"...or should that still cause the file
to be named "ad_sense_..."?

> ?2) the require wouldn't be needed since it would be autoloaded.

I thought that everything in lib/ should be autoloaded. When I found
that lib/adsense_heaven_parser.rb wasn't being autoloaded, I figured I
was wrong, and simply #require'd it in.

That's a good idea. I'll look into it and let you know.

FYI - if you put this file in spec/helpers/swf_object_helper_spec.rb,
then :type => :helper is implied, so you don't have to make it
explicit.

Nice.

By the way, I've been enjoying The RSpec Book, but it looks like I had 
to figure out view helpers before that chapter was ready.  Thank for 
your help on this list!

Subject: [rspec-users] modules and stub
Message-ID: <258f844c2771c1285812dc1a17cb5080@ruby-forum.com>

If there is a method defined on a module, how do I stub it?

Imagine I have a module like this:

Module Foo
   Module Bar

    def self.do_something(path)
  ...
    end


   end
end


Somewhere in the code, there is this call:
               Foo::Bar::do_something(path)

In my test I want the above call to do nothing, so I tried this:
    before(:each) do
      Foo::Bar.stub!(:do_something).and_return
    end

but I confirm that do_something is getting called by adding a puts in
it. Do I not have the module/stub syntax correct?  How can I isolate
this further?

I tried looking at the doc ( http://rspec.rubyforge.org/rspec/1.2.6/ )
but I couldn't really make sense of it.

Thanks,
Sarah

All directories under spec/ are potentially magic - rspec will always
look at spec/:directory/:filename and see if it has an example group
type registered for whatever directory is. So if there *is* a foo
example group type, it will be used for any spec file in spec/foos.

rspec-rails uses that feature of rspec to implicitly load custom
groups for models, views, controllers and helpers in spec/models,
spec/views, spec/controllers and spec/helpers.

David

Stub methods on objects, not modules. The method can be one that
*comes from* a module, but you need to stub it on the specific object
that is at play in the example.

module Foo
  def do_something
end

class Bar
  include Foo
end

describe Bar do
  before(:each) do
    @bar = Bar.new
    @bar.stub(:do_something)
  end
  ...
end

That makes sense, except the code does this:
 Foo::Bar::do_something(path)

I'm not an expert with modules, but that looks like it is calling the 
method directly on the module without an object.  Is there any way for 
me to stub that?  or is that not a good thing to be doing?

Thanks,
Sarah

You're correct.

> Is there any way for me to stub that?

You can stub that like this:

Foo::Bar.stub(:do_something)

> or is that not a good thing to be doing?

This really depends on a lot of different factors. Whether Bar is a
module or a class, do_something is essentially a global, and globals
are *generally* problematic for testing because they increase the risk
of leaking state from example to example. That said, the four mock
frameworks supported directly by rspec (rspec, mocha, flexmock and rr)
all roll back stubs after each example and they all seem to work just
fine. Therefore that risk is mitigated. But that doesn't mean it's
100% risk-free. Ruby is very flexible and powerful, and just as
mock/stub frameworks can momentarily change an object's behaviour, so
can any library code or application code.

If you stub, for example, do_something on this module, but it turns
out that do_something gets added to the module through some dynamic
means *after the stub declaration*, the stub declaration will be
overwritten and you'll get surprising results. This is not just true
of globals - it's true of any methods that appear through the magic of
metaprogramming.

David

You can't mock super because super doesn't behave like other methods.
It is a language keyword that invokes the same method on the parent
class. So if you do this:

def foo
  super
end

... the call to super calls foo on the superclass.

Since we don't get into the class hierarchy in rspec's mock/stub
framework, there is no facility for managing this. I believe that is
the case for mocha, flexmock and rr as well, though I could be wrong.

Well, so Spork was really created with testing in mind.  It is more 
general purpose than spec_server though.  You can use it with any Ruby 
project, not just Rails.  You can also potentially use it with any other 
testing framework that adds support for it (I've been meaning to do this 
for Cucumber).  I know that Tim's original work with Kernel.fork was 
actually dealing with Mongrel but I'm not sure what the exact details of 
it are.  I'll try to find out for you though.

Ah, the joys of dynamic languages.  After further looking at the code, I 
see that the module 'require' is intentionally inside an if, so that it 
will only get loaded as needed.  If I explicitly require file containing 
the module in the spec.rb file, then it works.  I suppose the require in 
the code I'm testing will only have an effect when it's not present in 
the calling code.  Still puzzled why I could call the module before 
without getting a syntax error.

Thanks so much for your help.

Assuming that @user is the same mock object that is causing the error,
you need to tell the @user that it should receive valid?:

  @user.should_receive(:valid?).and_return(true)

I'm not sure what this has to do with checking for not null.

It seems that some examples at http://rspec.info are broken with
invalid html.

For example: http://rspec.info/documentation/before_and_after.html

All those spans there should not be visible, I think :) Isn't
rspec.info web tested well enough? :P

It's not tested at all. Any suggestions about how to improve it?

I think the reason it's broken is because we generated the website
using webby, which depends on something that depends on something that
depends on something that I upgraded and it broke the website
generation. The website will soon be replaced, so I'm not really
interested in spending time improving what's there now.

get_via_direct is available in ActionController::IntegrationTest, not
ActionController::TestCase, which is what is wrapped by controller
specs.

You shouldn't need to spec those two lines specifically.
What you want to do is spec the behaviour.

So if you want a particular helper method to be available, write a
spec that relies on that helper method (in another controller because
they all use ApplicationController). If you then take out helper :all,
your spec may fail (don't know, never tried)
If it doesn't, well then you don't need the line :-)

For protect_from_forgery, again spec the behaviour you expect (again,
in a different controller spec)
If you take out the line and your code still works, you don't need the line.
If you take it out and the spec breaks, you know you've tested the
behaviour you want, and not a line!

I never spec either of these lines because their behaviour is tested
in the Rails code. I am only concerned with testing my applications
and the behaviour I want out of them.

As an aside, if you're concerned about code coverage, both lines
should execute with every controller test as they must execute while
creating the ApplicationController class.

Don't worry without specing these 2 lines you'll still get your 100% 
coverage.

I have the same problem. I like spork, but I had to restart the spork 
server anytime I made a change to a model file. The only way I know how 
to avoid this is to not proload the rails env, which kind of defeats the 
purpose.

What does your spec_helper look like?

It should be something like:

require 'rubygems'
require 'spork'

Spork.prefork do
  ENV["RAILS_ENV"] = "test"
  require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + 
"/../config/environment")
  # Load other stuff that only needs to be setup once and never reloaded 
(i.e. rspec and configuring it)
end

Spork.each_run do
  ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection # make sure that the db 
connection is ready.
  require File.expand_path(RAILS_ROOT + "/spec/fixjour_builders.rb") # 
You could use FixtureReplacement, FactorGirl, etc...
 
  Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
    config.include Fixjour
    include SharedSpecHelpers
    include DatabaseHelpers
    include AuthenticatedTestHelper
 
  end
end



Keep in mind that the code in Spork.prefork must not require any of your 
models inadvertently.  If your environment file does this or a plugin 
does then your models will not be reloaded.  Look over your spec_helper 
file and try to see who is requiring your models initially. We have 
really only tested this on is our apps where Tim and I work... So, there 
could very well be bugs we need to iron out.

Sweet!  Seems to be working great now.

Looks like the README has changed over the weekend - previously, I had  
been starting the spec server with script/spec_server.  Running spork  
directly seems to work just fine.

Thanks a TON!

Ok cool.  Seems like the bug may of been poor documentation... please 
send a pull request if you think it can be improved.  :)

Subject: [rspec-users] Any way to continue on Assertion Failure
Message-ID: <4A1C7C40.2020501@employees.org>

Hi,

I wonder if there is any way to tell the test script to continue even 
when encountering an assertion failure?  The reason I am asking this is 
because I have a test flow that can take a long time to run and it would 
be very useful if I can perform all verification at the end of test flow 
in one shot rather than fail one and exit immediately.  Of course, I 
could break each verification point into separate test case, but then it 
will double or triple the overall execution time.  Does RSpec support this?

Thanks,

--Gary

Nope. RSpec is all about isolated examples of small bits of behaviour.

I don't mean there is no way to do it, btw. Just that RSpec doesn't
offer a way out of the box. Each example is, essentially, run in a
begin/rescue block. RSpec expectation matchers raise errors on
failure.

To get what you're after, you *could* write some sort of wrapper like this:

def report_later(&block)
  begin
    yield
  rescue Exception => e
    # report the error somewhere but don't raise
  end
end

describe Something do
  it "should do something" do
    report_later do
      # example code with expectations go here
    end
  end
end

If you do this, though, you're really working against the intent of
RSpec. The trick about having a series of expectations within one
example is that if one fails early, you can't really trust the state
of everything that comes after. This is one reason why RSpec is
designed the way it is - to focus on one expectation in each example.

HTH,
David

Isn't this usual behaviour?

There's nothing built in. If you have any recommendations as to how
this should work, please feel free to file a feature request at

Yeah I'm a little confused by the question (and David's response) so  
maybe I've misunderstood something. Normal RSpec test runs will catch  
all the test failures and report them at the end of the run. I wonder  
whether the OP is talking about a situation where the interaction with  
the system takes a long time, so that using lots of examples of the  
desired behaviour causes that interaction to be run several times  
making the whole run very slow.

I also wonder whether he's just thinking in the test/unit mindset,  
which I see a lot, where you have examples like this

<antipattern>
it "should do foo and bar" do
   set_up_state
   do_something_to_system_under_test

   assert_that_foo_was_done
   assert_that_bar_was_done
end
</antipattern>

Here's my normal RSpec flow:

before(:each) do
   set_up_state
   do_something_to_system_under_test
end

it "should have done foo" do
   assert_that_foo_was_done
end

it "should have done bar" do
   assert_that_bar_was_done
end

if set_up_state and/or do_something_to_system_under_test take ages,  
you could use a before(:all) block instead, but that comes with  
obvious leaky state disadvantages.

There is not an official icon now, but there will be within the next
month or so. What is your time frame for releasing this adapter?

If you're using facebooker, you should use facebook_get instead of get:

  facebook_get :create

Also - shouldn't this be a post?

Judging from the silence, I think the answer is no.

There is some interesting stuff going on in other threads about spork.
Don't know if it solves this for you, but you may want to give it a
whirl.

Unfortunately you're using a combination of tools and platforms that I
don't have any experience with.

Anybody else using Aptana on Windows who can help debug this?

Adam, that's not what Kero was asking about. In addition to the
./.autotest file, do you also have a ~/.autotest file?

By "before" do you mean in an earlier version of your app or of rspec?
Or do you mean within the app somewhere?

Subject: [rspec-users] Cucmber Step to insert Test Data into  Database
Message-ID: <97a92377da4082454c7581a55c035cf9@ruby-forum.com>

Hi,

We run the feature created for a form to identify the fields and also to
add data into the respective fields.

But while running the cucumber features, all the scenario and steps are
getting passed but the record is not getting inserted into the
application / the database.

We have also wrote the feature as:

Feature: Adding a user
  In order to add a user to the organization
  As a administrator
  I want to create and add new user

Scenario: Create User
  Given that I have no users
  And I am on the "List of users"
  When I follow "New User"
  And I fill in "First Name" with "Rebecca"
  And I fill in "Second Name" with "Martin"
  And I fill in "Title" with "Miss"
  And I fill in "Email" with "rebeccamartin at me.com"
  And I fill in "Telephone" with "01617867645"
  And I fill in "Mobile" with "01777867645"
  And I fill in "Fax" with "01617867640?"
  And I fill in "Address Line 1" with "58"
  And I fill in "Address Line 2" with "West Tree rd"
  And I fill in "Address Line 3" with "Stockport"
  And I fill in "County" with "Cheshire"
  And I fill in "Country" with "United Kingdom"
  And I fill in "Zip Code" with "sk8 4ty"
  And I press "Create"
  Then I should have 1 user


And steps as:

Then /^I should have ([0-9]+) user$/ do |c|
 User.count.should==c.to_i
end

Given /^that I have no users$/ do
  User.delete_all
end

If somebody could help us out, how to execute the steps so that the data
gets inserted into the database.

Smita.

Actually you told me (some time ago) to upgrade to the latest version  
of RSpec, as there is some bug-fix with spec_server. I still haven't  
got around to doing that, but I'll feed back when I have.

Have you tried manually loading the file in the spec itself?

I'm having the same problem as Raymond, but on Windoze. Is there another 
version? The only I can seem to find is the 0.0.1 on 
http://github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber_java/downloads

No more recent versions have been released since 0.0.1. There are some
bugfixes on Github, but you have to build it yourself. I'll announce
here when there is a new release. Any help moving it forward is
appreciated.

erm.... I create the class *in the spec* itself so not sure how I'd do

Is it some sort of class only used for testing behaviour inherited  
from AR::Base?

Doesn't inherit from AR::Base I don't think - why?

Thanks for letting me know. I think getting Cucumber working directly 
with Java is a great idea!! and I appreciate the efforts already put in. 
At first I thought the calls had to go through jruby. The native java 
support is important for java groups so they don't need to learn another 
language (unless they are lucky enough to be transitioning to Ruby, but 
I suspect it will be a long time for many teams). I'll try to help, but 
I suspect I'll consume more resources getting going than the benefits 
added :)

I'll work on getting the latest out of git.

*shrug*

I think he's being too literal and missing the substance of the
practice by criticizing its veneer.  I personally don't use BDD as a
path to customer communication; in the majority of my projects I'm the
primary 'customer,' so it's to help *me* think, not somebody else.

I also don't use "should" in my specs.  I don't care about
should-vs.-assert.  I use active, immediate language.  My failure to
use "should" doesn't make my specs any less functional, and as I'm not
required to submit them to any BDD experts for grading, no one
suffers.

For that matter, I've never found that the semantic argument about
"What is BDD?" vs. "What is TDD?" has ever made any practical
difference to my code.  I like RSpec because it helps me think in
English about what I'm going to do before I do it.  So does Cucumber.
Both are better at different sorts of problems.  The mental model of
coding practice that they facilitate is useful to me and makes better
code.  I really don't care what anyone calls it.

I also don't understand his apparent assumption that using a
"structured textual format" for functional specs means it's the *only*
thing one uses.  Sometimes I make diagrams to understand my design
thoughts better.  Sometimes I do mind maps.  Sometimes I write long
rambling blog posts (http://tinyurl.com/d6w4t8).  And I still use
RSpec and Cucumber.  They're not exclusive of each other.  They're all
useful.  They all shine different lights on the same cave wall.

Finally, and most relevant: I personally don't understand vodka.  It
doesn't taste like anything to me.  I do not accept that a vodka
martini is truly a martini.  It will never work for me, and I tell my
friends frequently that their 'martini' is a misuse of the word and
that they can't possibly like what they're drinking.

I am, of course, wrong.  This could be really obnoxious of me,
except...  Well, who cares?  While I'm babbling on, they've got a
martini in their hand and they're enjoying it.  Thus, they win.

I'll add a *sigh* as well...

Robert says his "problem is with the definition of BDD itself". He 
points out that no one can really agree on what BDD is exactly, which is 
true to a certain extent. However, he then makes arguments against BDD 
using his poor understanding of it.

*snip*

I think Robert makes valid observations. If you ask anyone on this list 
what BDD is you will get different answers even though we are a very 
homogeneous bunch when it comes to the tools we use. ( I think Steve 
just illustrated this point. :) ) Now, if you ask people on the BDD 
Google Groups list you will get far different answers and people will 
have a hard time agreeing on terminology. I think this, more than 
anything, is what Robert is frustrated about. BDD has changed and 
evolved over the years and people are at different stages of 
understanding it. It is hard to pin down what an idea is when it is 
evolving and being fine tuned. Additionally, like Steve pointed out, it 
can mean different things in different contexts. Despite this being a 
valid observation he makes the wrong conclusion that this confusion over 
what IS BDD is a bad thing and therefore means "BDD isn't AN answer." I 
think this line points out his flawed logic the best:

"So what is the output of BDD: User Acceptance Tests? Functional Tests? 
Unit Tests? System Tests? A system design? The design of individual 
units? It depends on who you talk to."

Well.. guess what, this exact things applies to TDD:

"So what is the output of TDD: User Acceptance Tests? Functional Tests? 
Unit Tests? System Tests? A system design? The design of individual 
units? It depends on who you talk to."

You can ask people on the TDD list what TDD is and guess what- you will 
get different answers!! So, by Robert's logic TDD isn't AN answer 
either. This reminds me of the recent TDD tests are not unit tests 
debacle. I think Michael Feathers summed up the controversy pretty 
well[1]. In the end you have to realize, and accept, that people will 
have different ideas and terminology about the same practice. That 
doesn't invalidate the practice though.

I picked up on this as well, and this goes back to my statement about 
him making arguments against BDD with a poor definition of it. Robert 
seems to have the misconception that as BDD has evolved different ways 
of writing tests that these ways are mutually exclusive. From what I can 
gather he seems to think that one must phrase all of your tests as 
customer facing tests when using Cucumber, and you are not allowed to 
use RSpec or Test::Unit at all. From his post:

"TDD, as a design methodology, forces you to write code that is used by 
two different clients: the tests and the final application. This is one 
of the ways that it helps promote flexibility. It gives you an early 
look at ?how exactly am I going to use this class/object?. BDD 
frameworks don?t look or work like the code that will be calling the 
final code, so there really is no benefit here. Take easyb as an 
example, it doesn?t even use the same language as the code you?re 
writing (assuming the common use case of using easyb as a BDD framework 
for Java development).

TDD highlights pain points when writing tests, if it is hard to write a 
test for, your code probably needs a little work. BDD frameworks such as 
Cucumber, can quite happily support specs written in terms of ?the 
system? or ?the application? and you have to write grotesque code to 
make it work under the covers. This doesn?t make Cucumber a bad tool, 
just the wrong tool for the job of designing code."


He has very good points about how TDD is a design methodology, but he is 
misinformed about the use of BDD tools in this regard. I view RSpec as 
my design tool to be used in the exact way he as described. Why do you 
think we are calling them "code examples"?!? I agree with him about 
Cucumber not being fit for a design tool on that kind of level. I don't 
see Cucumber providing me the same type of detailed design cues that I 
get from RSpec. However, Cucumber helps me make sure that I am only 
designing (with RSpec) code that actually needs to be designed. It helps 
me write software, not code or as Dan North likes to say "software that 
matters". Can you do the same thing with an xUnit framework with high 
level acceptance tests? Sure you can, but those tests won't be nearly as 
nice of a communication tool to the customers or, IMO, provide as good 
of application level documentation.

Anyways.. that is my take on it. I would also recommend reading this 
post from Dan North on this list about his frustrations over 
misconceptions of what BDD is: 
http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/rspec-users/2008-February/005696.html

I'm hoping that the publication of _The RSpec Book_ will help with these 
types of misconceptions. It has in it, IMO, the culmination of a lot of 
thinking behind what BDD is and will be a great reference to point 
people to who are grappling with understanding BDD regardless of 
programming language. Maybe we should send Robert a free copy to help 
educate him? :p

I didn't mean validation errors per se, but just the fact that instead
of
account.balance.should == Money.new(0) there is this line
account</span>.balance.should == <span class="co">Money</span>.new
(<span class="i">0</span>)

I don't know if that's the suggestion you wanted to hear, but you
could use Watir or Selenium maybe to have few integration tests if you
have some extra time.

David, nice explanation as of why this happened, lol.
Anyway, why I even brought this topic up, was because I recommended
friend to try RSpec and gave him this link, which now is quite hard to
understand because of all this mess. Hopefully new web will be
available soon!

I don't think it's an issue w/FactoryGirl. A belongs_to association in
Rails adds the create_xxxxx association method, which returns a new
object of the associated type that has been instantiated and saved. It
does NOT save the receiver. For example:

   @order.create_ship_address

This creates a ShipAddress and it updates @order's in-memory
ship_address_id, but it does not save @order. You have to do that.
Here's the example the Rails docs gives:

    Post#create_author (similar to post.author = Author.new;
post.author.save; post.author)

Which in this example, the post is never saved, only it's in-memory
association is set, so you still need to save @order in your example.

My impression is that it was always sort of buggy and it was hard to 
reproduce certain bugs in certain configurations - so I'm not sure if it 
ever worked.  I never got it to fully work on my own machine.

You might try contacting David Vollbracht, who was the one who added in 
rspec support (this was probably 6 months ago or so now).

I'd be interested in hearing if anyone is actually using it.

I tried using DeepTest but I never had success with it.  I was able to 
get it to run but on a single machine with two workers (for it's two 
cores) and it ran considerably slower than just running rspec alone.  I 
tried it on a brand new app and saw the same results.  Support was added 
for RSpec but I highly doubt anyone really used it in real life.  I 
would love to hear otherwise though.

Hi Rick. I finally had some time to fix this problem, and you were
spot on. I moved
    lib/adsense_heaven_parser.rb
to
    app/models/ad_sense_heaven_parser.rb
and everything's smooth now.

Thanks for catching that!

What's setting the "user" variable before #requires_user is called? Or
is "user" a method inside that controller?

Ignoring that question for a moment, all you need to do is write out
(on paper/in Vim/whatever) the behaviour of each scenario that can
occur while traversing through this controller. For example, one
[verbose] scenario is:

"When a user who's not logged-in and whose session isn't being
redirected requests HTML from FooBarsController#show , they should be
redirected to the sign-up page."

Once you have the behaviour of each scenario mapped out, write specs
for each scenario.

When that's all done, I recommend writing your specs before you write code.

Hi,

For some reason, no matter what, my entire cucumber suite is ran after  
every auto test. Is there a way to make auto test ignore cucumber all

Thanks for your help.

I have the latest from github, and there is still a dependency on 
pico-container, here is the error: no such file to load -- 
cucumber/pico_container after ?jruby -S cucumber features?.
Any hints on installing pico-container? (gem vs jar)I'll guess the gem 
into JRuby, but I'm not sure.

Hi Ben,
The default behaviour is for it to not run the features at all.  In fact 
Cucumber will not even hook into autotest unless you have an environment 
variable called AUTOFEATURE set to true... Want to check to see if you 
have exported that variable?  If that env var is not set then I'm at a 
loss on why autotest would be picking up cucumber's autotest plugin... 
BTW, cucumber has it's own mailing list now: 
http://groups.google.com/group/cukes

As Ben Mabey points out this is not normal RSpec behavior.

Now you don't happen to be using the recently released autotest-mac
gem are you? It does automatically run scenarios, and I'd like to be
able to control that as well.

BTW autotest-mac seems to have almost immediately split into two separate gems

autotest-fsevent
http://github.com/svoop/autotest-fsevent/tree

and autotest-growl
http://github.com/svoop/autotest-growl/tree

I opened a ticket asking for some means to control whether or not it
tries to run Cucumber scenarios

It seems to always try to run Cucumber scenarios but only after specs
have passed.

Looking at the code in the gem it seems to control whether or not to
run scenarios under control of an instance variable named surprisingly
enough @run_scenarios

It initializes this to false with it first installs the :run_command
hook, but then in the :ran_command hook it sets it to true as soon as
the specs run with no failures

Message-ID: <C2523E01-5353-4D78-84EA-00E61F518677@experthuman.com>

Hi,

One of the problems with mocks, as far as I can tell, is that they  
might go out of sync with the real object they're mocking. Is it  
possible and sane to detect this by running each spec against its  
corresponding mock? Does anyone already do this?

For example: your Account object has a particular behavioural  
specification; you perhaps have some convenient helper method for  
creating a mock Account which conforms to that specification with  
various stubbed responses; and the specifications of other objects use  
that mock Account when describing behaviours which involve interaction  
with Accounts. What happens when you want to change the behaviour of  
Account? Naively, you update the specification and implementation of  
Account, your specs all pass, and you think you're done, except you're  
not: the Account mock is now misrepresenting the behaviour of Account  
all over the system, with the result that you've got failures that the  
specs don't reveal.

Of course you have integration tests that will show these failures at  
a higher level but it doesn't feel fundamentally like a problem that  
RSpec has no business solving. Why not establish a base case for  
RSpec's inductive demonstration of correctness by running the Account  
spec against the standard Account mock? That way you'll automatically  
be told, by RSpec, whenever the actual behaviour of your mock doesn't  
match the specified behaviour of the mocked object, and you can let  
your integration tests concentrate on the hard stuff (stateful  
interactions between many objects) instead of checking that you  
haven't forgotten to keep your specs up-to-date.

This assumes a priori that it makes engineering sense to have a  
globally-available DRY mock helper for each object (i.e. class) rather  
than building up your mocks piecemeal in every spec; I've found that I  
always start off a project by doing the latter but end up refactoring  
into the former once I get sick of mocking the same stuff over and  
over again. Maybe that's the wrong way to do things altogether, or  
maybe this is a process issue that I've misunderstood (i.e. the answer  
is always to use integration tests to detect this kind of failure), so  
stop me if I'm being stupid.

Cheers,
-Tom

Have you read "Mock Roles, not Objects"?

"it's corresponding mock" suggests a single mock object for each real
implementation. There's nothing stopping you from writing your own
mock objects to play this role. IMO, this is not what a dynamic mock
objects framework is for.

First of all, let's make a distinction between behaviour and method
signatures. Just because two objects sport the same methods doesn't
mean they behave the same way. In order to verify that a mock Account
honors the same contract as a real Account, you'd have to have some
very general specs like "Account balance should be an instance of the
Money class." This would not really get you very far in terms of
specifying the real account, and it's exactly the opposite of what
we're getting at with BDD - focus on what an object does (behaviour),
not what it is (structure).

So really, what we're talking about is concern over method signatures
straying. Theoretically, this could be solved with some audit
mechanism, but then we're tying mocks to specific objects. What about
when we use mocks in their most powerful way, to specify an object's
contract with polymorphic collaborators?

Consider the case of an Account in a banking application. Checking
accounts and savings accounts have some significant differences in
terms of their behaviour, yet a Transfer will probably only use the
parts that are common to both:

def transfer(source_account, target_account, amount)
  source_account.debit(amount)
  target_account.credit(amount)
end

an admittedly naive implementation, but it demonstrates the point. The
source account may be a checking account. It may be a savings account.
It may be a checking account with overdraw privileges. It may be a
checking account with overdraw privileges that draw on the target
account. Etc, etc. What mocks/stubs let us do here is set up the
context for each example exactly how we want it to be, with objects
that respond how we program them to, but aren't necessarily of a
specific class.

My personal opinion is that RSpec has no business solving this :)

Personal opinion aside, let's say we set out to solve this. We'd need
some auditing mechanism that says the object being mocked has all the
same APIs as the mock object. For RSpec, or any other Ruby framework,
we have a serious obstacle to being able to do this universally and
reliably:

Ruby

We're dealing with a language that lets us modify an object's
behaviour on the fly. This means that it is entirely possible (and
quite common) for a given method not to exist after a class definition
is loaded, but to be added later in the process via a dynamic method
definition or a mixin. If the point at which we do the audit, that
method has not yet been added to the object, we're screwed.

Would that be a problem all the time? Certainly not. But it means we'd
be depending on something that is not very reliable and/or restricting
our use of Ruby's most powerful features.

The most powerful use of mocks is as a design tool, allowing you to
focus on the object at hand and invent its collaborators as you go,
without having to go out and develop them just yet. As you suggest
above, even in your own process, you tend to build up mocks piecemeal
and then refactor towards a single, global helper to create a mock
Account (for example). This lets you keep focus on the task at hand,
and refactor to eliminate duplication as the duplication appears.
Seems like a perfectly viable approach to me.

Of course that doesn't solve the auditing problem I describe above,
and it also pushes you towards a one to one mapping between mocked
object and mock object, which reduces the power of mocks in terms of
polymorphism.

So that's my 1.8 cents (recession, and all). Looking forward to some
other opinions.

David

What is the behaviour you're trying to specify here? The docstring
says "it should create a user avatar," but the example code expects
find on the Avatar class and avatar on the User class. And I can't
tell how the create() code is actually creating anything.

That aside, the nil error is happening because the user() method is
returning nil (in user.avatars). You can fix that by changing this:

  controller.stub!(:requires_user).and_return(@user)

to this:

  controller.stub!(:user).and_return(@user)

Though you may need to also stub requires_user if it's in a before
filter (which I think I remember from another thread on this), so
you'd actually want:

  controller.stub!(:requires_user)
  controller.stub!(:user).and_return(@user)

This way requires_user() doesn't do anything, and the user() method
returns the mock user. Of course, it's going to need to respond to the
avatars() method:

  @user.stub!(:avatars).and_return([@avatar])

or something like that.

HTH,
David

Agreed -- I entirely concur that the main benefit of such a framework  
is the ability to speculatively mock collaborators (while thinking in  
terms of their role) before you have implemented them or perhaps even  
know what they are -- but in practice I find that these collaborating  
roles end up falling into one-one correspondence with actual classes,  
which doesn't seem to contradict the core message of "Mock Roles, not  
Objects". Maybe that just indicates I'm not working on designs that  
are sufficiently sophisticated, sufficiently polymorphic or  
sufficiently aspect-oriented to feel the burn of the divergence of  
concepts.

Ultimately I think I'm agreeing with you, but perhaps just using the  
wrong word: I might better have described Account as a role rather  
than necessarily an object/class. The original point applies, namely  
"how can I be sure that my mock (for a given role) is in sync with my  
specification (of that role in the object(s) which perform it)";  
instead of suggesting a single mock object for each real  
implementation, I'm suggesting a single mock object for each role.

And speaking of using the wrong words: maybe what I actually mean is  
"specifying stubs" instead of "specifying mocks", in as much as those  
global helpers I talked about don't really return a "mock" at all,  
just a stub which has been prepared for use as a mock in any spec  
which requires it (cf Spec::Rails' mock_model). But any such spec will  
exercise those stubbed methods which are important for the role's  
behaviour, assuming one expectation per example, so it's important  
that the stubbed behaviour accurately reflects reality, and unless you  
are rigorous about keeping the stubbed behaviour updated to reflect  
the specified behaviour they'll drift out of sync and the specs won't  
be making the right assumptions about collaborators any more.

Why? I can't quite get my head around the issues of stubbing stateful  
interactions, which is preventing me from thinking of a good example,  
but what's (abstractly) wrong with:

class Account
   def credit(cents)
     self.balance = self.balance + cents
     return self.balance
   end
end

describe 'Account#credit' do
   before(:each) do
     @account = Account.new(:balance => 100)
   end
   specify { @account.credit(10).should == 110 }
end

def mock_account
   account = mock('Account')
   account.stub!(:credit).with(10).and_return(110)
   return account
end

It seems like there's nothing stopping you stubbing the detailed  
behaviour of Account in a way that will allow the stub to pass the  
specs -- it's just that the stub is only good for the canned  
responses, necessarily a strict subset of the real implementation's  
behaviour over all inputs.

Given the above, I could easily change spec and implementation to

class Account
   def credit(cents)
     self.balance = self.balance - cents
     return self.balance
   end
end

describe 'Account#credit' do
   before(:each) do
     @account = Account.new(:balance => 100)
   end
   specify { @account.credit(10).should == 90 }
end

and the spec will pass, and so will every spec that's using my Account  
stub for mocking Account behaviour, but the system as a whole is  
screwed, right? Because the behaviour's changed but the stub (plus the  
behaviour that is mocked on it by other specs) has stayed the same.

> So really, what we're talking about is concern over method  
> signatures straying.

Sorry, that's not what I meant at all: I intended to talk specifically  
about cases where the signature stays the same but the underlying  
behaviour changes.

> an object's
> contract with polymorphic collaborators?

In that case there's a role (an object fulfilling that contract) for  
which you might end up creating a shared stub that's used in the  
specifications of all objects which act as the client in that specific  
collaboration. Individual examples in those specifications will set  
individual expectations on that stub in order to specify the  
interaction, presumably clobbering a stubbed method in the process,  
but the remaining stubbed methods will be exercised during each  
example, which gives you a way of knowing that the mocked behaviour  
lines up with what's been canned in the stub.

You can't do much about the detailed, piecemeal mocking that happens  
inside such specs -- aside from the aforementioned reliance upon the  
parts of the stub's canned behaviour for which an expectation hasn't  
explicitly been set, there's no way to check that the expectations  
match up with the specification(s) of the object(s) which performs the  
role you're mocking, so you have to rely on integration specs -- but  
if all of these specs are starting with the same stub, you can at  
least run the role's spec over the stub to make sure it's accurate.  
Why wouldn't you?

As I say, that's not what I meant, and it's probably my fault for  
saying "mock". What I meant is that a stub can provide a snapshot of  
all of the behaviour of an object (or role), and I often end up in the  
situation where the same stub is being used as a starting point for  
mocking interactions in lots of specs, but right now there's no  
mechanism for spotting when that stub is spreading misinformation  
because it's become desynchronised from the specification of the  
object (or role) which it represents.

For example: Spec::Rails' mock_model. (Should be called stub_model but  
isn't.) It's very convenient because it stubs out a bunch of  
"behaviour" that you'd otherwise have to stub out yourself in all of  
your model specs before you started adding expectations. It conforms  
to a tiny subset of ActiveRecord::Base's notional specification:  
@record.should_receive(:new_record?).and_return(false) etc. If "the  
ActiveRecord::Base spec" changes, mock_model needs updating, but we  
can't discover that automatically because we never run "the  
ActiveRecord::Base spec" over the object that's returned by  
mock_model. (This is a stupid example because there is no  
ActiveRecord::Base spec, but you get the idea.)

So is my fundamental mistake that I'm being lazy by trying to  
concentrate all of this stub setup in one helper method instead of  
doing piecemeal stubbing in every individual spec that might care? It  
seems superficially like good practice to concentrate all of the  
detail in one place like this, so that when a role's behaviour changes  
you just update one piece of stub setup to reflect the change rather  
than chase around the specs of every single collaborator, but maybe  
that's just serving to obscure the problem that all of the actual  
mocking has to happen in the individual specs and that this is the  
stuff you really care about, not the behaviour of the shared stub?

Cheers,
-Tom

Hi Raymond. Did you get it to run on your system? I have not had success 
yet, so I would get some hope if you got it to run on yours.

On my team, we've built up a StubFactory which works a lot like the  
FactoryGirl plug-in and creates 'stock' stubbed objects which we use  
when we need a generic stub of a given role. This is a useful tool,  
and it saves a lot of noise in our tests when we just need something  
that quacks enough like an Account or whatever in order to let a test  
run through, so that you can focus on the detail of the *specific*  
collaboration behaviour you're concerned about in that test.

So that's one part of this - I definitely think it's pragmatic and  
valuable to factor out common mocking setup into a single place if  
that's what you seem to be duplicating a lot in your tests.

The auditing though... I've been around the loop with this one myself  
- before I really discovered the value of acceptance tests I was  
really keen on the idea, but to be honest this just isn't a problem I  
come across very often now. By the time my acceptance tests have  
pointed me down to the unit tests / classes I need to work on, I'm  
(especially with a pair to work with) sufficiently focussed to  
remember enough the of collaborations between objects and keep them in  
step with the mocks / stubs. If I do forget something, I get pretty  
rapid feedback when I step back up a level and run the acceptance tests.

I appreciate that the argument 'I can keep all the collaboration in my  
head' is a bit wooly - but equally if the collaborations you're  
mocking are so complex that you can't, then perhaps that in itself is  
a whiff that something is wrong with your design?

I don't know that I would call this an antipattern unless set_up_state
is duplicated across examples. I usually don't factor things out of an
example unless it's duplicated in another example (then I extract to a
before) or I'm working in a specific context (which I always give a
before since it provides meaning of the context in an explicit way).

Most of the time I would leave the "do_something_to_system_under_test"
inside each example. I find it easier to read, and a more useful
example (since you don't have to go look else where to see how the
method is called), and it becomes easier to maintain should the object
change in a way that requires a specific pre-condition to be
introduced that aren't needed by the other examples (you don't have to
modify every other example).

another 2 cents to throw in the water fountain,

Message-ID: <323c176b-321f-4197-ba30-2f6c02112ed1@t21g2000yqi.googlegroups.com>

I wanted to start using autospec on my little (non-Rails) project. I'm
on Windows XP and have used it some time ago successfully (on the same
PC), although I've updated many gems in the meantime (RSpec for
example among others).

In short, everything is fine when all specs pass, but if some fails,
then autospec won't stop running failing specs again even if no files
are changed. I expect it to run specs again only if some file gets
modified. It's kinda irritating when it doesn't stop and is by no
means helping any development :/

Also, when I fix the failing spec then it will run it only once and
then run whole suit once and stops as expected.

Any ideas what might cause this distracting behaviour?

BR,
Jarmo

Do you have "--format failing_examples" in spec/spec.opts? If so,
rspec saves a file with a list of the failing examples in it, which
would trigger autotest to run again unless that file is explicitly
ignored.
