Thanks Andy and Carl. I've bought The RSpec Book and there's a wealth
of good information, but the tutorial in Chapter 5 ("Getting Started
with RSpec") starts with mock objects and the quirks of
should_receive.with ... that seems like a pretty advanced place to start
for those who aren't familiar with TDD (or BDD). I'm hoping for
something more straightforward.

The RSpec Book from Pragmatic Programmers is excellent IMO.

Best,
Carl

Hi Andy,

Nothing jumps out at me at the moment. If you think there might be a difference between dev and test, you could launch script/console with the test env. and try it again on the console.

$ script/console test

Regards,

Craig

wait, nevermind

turns out there was a callback that was being hidden - and triggering
a different error

all's well

[rails] strange regex validation failure

2009-11-21T09:34:15Z

Hi,

I'm getting invalid results when testing a Regex in a format
validation on a Rails model.

Code is...

# in Model
# allow '- n/a -' or alphanum with _ -- no spaces
validates_format_of :test_name, :with => /\A[A-Za-z0-9_]+\z/, :unless
=> lambda{|x| x.test_name == '- n/a -'}

# in spec
hardware_test = Factory.build(:hardware_test, :test_name => '- n/a -')
hardware_test.should be_valid, "'#{hardware_test.test_name}' - should
be valid"

# spec result
3)
'HardwareTest should properly validate test_name format' FAILED
'- n/a -' - should be valid
./spec/models/hardware_test_spec.rb:34:

# finally, from console
andy@hst-26-147 (Rails234)->sc
Loading development environment (Rails 2.3.4)
>> a = HardwareTest.new(:test_name => '- n/a -')
=> #<HardwareTest id: nil, test_name: "- n/a -", code_module_id: nil,
test_description: nil, test_reviewed: false, interactive: false,
loopback: false, factory: false, media: false, test_category_id: nil,
created_at: nil, updated_at: nil, creator_id: nil, updater_id: nil>
>> a.valid?
=> true

Granted the console is in dev, not test, but I still don't get it.
Literally pulled on my hair on this one. I've tried altering the
Regex many times - adding the :unless => lambda was my last effort.

I can't see how this isn't passing.

Thanks for any help

spec_helper getting reloaded after specs run under Textmate/Spork

2009-11-20T22:28:44Z

I'm having the hardest time trying to figure out something weird I've
suddenly run into. So I'm using Spork to run my specs. Naturally I've
got TM_RSPEC_OPTS in Textmate set to --drb and I'm running `spork` from
the command line to fire up the Spork server. However, if I have a spec
file open in Textmate and I press Command-R, then the specs in the file
get executed twice. I did a quick test by having spec_helper print out
something at the bottom of the file and then wrote up a quick
one-example spec file. When I ran it, I saw the spinner spin, the debug
line got printed to the window, the output from the specs appeared, and
then the spinner spun some more and the debug line appeared again (but a
duplicate set of specs didn't appear because I think RSpec's smart about
not re-running tests). So it definitely looks like spec_helper is
getting loaded again, after all the specs are run. (I know spec_helper
should be run twice, once during preloading, once during execution. But
not again, AFTER execution.)

At first I thought it might be only specific to my project, but I tried
creating a fresh Rails project, installing RSpec into it, and creating
and running a quick spec file, but the same thing happened --
spec_helper seems to get loaded again. I also tried wiping and
reinstalling the rspec, rspec-rails, and spork gems, but that didn't
work either.

Just to emphasize, this is only when Spork is running. If I leave
TM_RSPEC_OPTS at --drb but fail to leave the Spork server open, the
specs only get run once as they should.

Also, this is only for Textmate -- I've got --drb in my spec.opts and
`rake spec` works just fine when Spork is running.

So I really don't know who the culprit is: Spork, RSpec bundle, or maybe
it's just me. I noticed in Lighthouse a few people have had this same
problem, but those were a while back and anyway this seems to be different.

David, can you think of a reason why something like this would be
happening? Exit status maybe? Or maybe this is more of a Spork question.

Re: Error executing specs using Ruby 1.9.1p243 and RSpec 1.2.9

2009-11-20T19:06:43Z

The syntax for use_fakefs changed in version 0.2.1 and the fixtures
for rspec are generating errors, but it can be solved easily.
Have to change ...
describe "smth" do
extend FakeFS::SpecHelpers
use_fakefs
...
end
To...
extend FakeFS::SpecHelpers
use_fakefs describe "smth" do ... end

As it seems the use_fakefs method now takes the describe block as a
parameter and thus the error regarding the wrong number of parameters.

Introductory recommendations?

2009-11-20T13:11:02Z

Hi all,

I'm with a team of engineers who are new to RSpec, and I'm looking for
some good introductory material. Ideally it would be something like the
two-part Railscast on Cucumber (
http://asciicasts.com/episodes/155-beginning-with-cucumber ) which
doesn't assume detailed knowledge of TDD.

I found David Chelimsky's Intro at
http://blog.davidchelimsky.net/2007/05/14/an-introduction-to-rspec-part-i/
... anything else that people would recommend?

Thanks much!

jon

Random theory: try renaming the files temporary to remove the word
"log" from the name. I'm wondering if it might be a wildcard matcher
somewhere in the chain that overenthusiastically ignores log files.

(If so, that's still an annoying glitch that needs to be fixed, but at
least you'll have identified it.)

You might also try another tool; I haven't tried this one yet -- I
intend to -- but it appears to be more configurable:

Yes, unfortunately that's the problem I'm experiencing.

Ctl-C isn't refreshing to find the new files. I stop completely and
restart and still no luck. I've added (for a Rails app) a new
controller and helper spec file and they only run if I "spec ..." or
"rake spec".

What are the names and paths to these files?

RSpec maintains no cache for this. Autotest does maintain a temporary cache (of sorts), but CTRL-C has always worked for me to refresh it.

Re: autospec not detecting new files

Yes, unfortunately that's the problem I'm experiencing.

Ctl-C isn't refreshing to find the new files. I stop completely and
restart and still no luck. I've added (for a Rails app) a new
controller and helper spec file and they only run if I "spec ..." or
"rake spec".

Re: Running simple rspec, no output

Problem solved. I was being an idiot. I type in "spec bowling_spec.rb" at command line. And installed the text mate bundle as suggested to allow text mate to display the results.

When I run from the command line I use "ruby bowling_spec.rb" and it appears to just do nothing, but no errors are thrown. When I run in text mate, i just save the file and hit Apple+R to run the file. Again there is no output. I have not installed the RSpec tmbundle - having never heard of it before - I will do that and see what happens in text mate, however the fact that its not doing anything on the command line either suggests this is not the problem.

Autotest (which autospec is really just a wrapper around) builds its
file list when it initializes. After that its looping is pretty
specific.

If you want to refresh it with all new changes, you can hit CTRL-C any
time and it'll start again from scratch.

autospec not detecting new files

2009-11-19T22:02:28Z

Hi,

I have a project where autospec is not adding new files to it's test
list.

When I run 'rake spec' it finds and runs the spec files.

Wondering if there is a cache file that autospec is using?

I've searched for an answer, while I've learned lots of interesting
other tidbits - no answer to what might be happening here.

thanks for any help

The problem goes away when I ditch the gems and grab the plugins off
github. (The archive is too large, or I'd upload that version.)

Now I just have to get cucumber working with plugins, which is the
reason I switched to gems in the first place…

A while back I looked at using Twilio to do automated integration
testing a phone system. I started talking with some of their
engineers, but then the conversation just stopped. I didn't know if
they got busy or thought I was crazy. :)

You can setup twilio accounts, one as a receiver and one as the
dialer. I got a proof of concept working with Cucumber as the driving
force, but I haven't worked on that application in a while. Perhaps
twilio has provided some tools for this by now.

This probably isn't what you were looking for, but thought I'd share
the idea in case anyone has interest,

Cucumber and IP PBX testing

Hi,

I am new to Cucumber. I am a test engineer for an IP PBX. Has anyone
tried to use Cucumber to test such application? Some of the actions
that I need to perform are:

Given:
a) Configure parameters on a web site to change phone behavior
b) Configure parameters on a web site to change trunk behavior
c) Configure parameters on a web site to change system wide behavior

When:
a) Make a call from phone A to phone b
b) Press Transfer or Conference softkey
c) Configure Call Forward All from phone

Then:
a) Verify audio between two phones
b) Verify phone displays
c) Verify phone status prompt

I imagine I need to translate these steps into Ruby to see if they pass
or fail. I don't have control over the code that developer write for
features, since I am just a tester. We write scripts in TCL to automate
our test cases.

Any pointers or suggestions are welcome.

Re: rspec-rails gem double quoting (My)SQL?

2009-11-18T14:17:47Z

In case anyone feels like messing with this, I've replicated the problem
in a minimal test application...

The problem seems to be some sort of load issue. From what I can tell,
it is due to three related items: 1) a user model with authlogic, 2)
rspec-rails, and 3) a users observer. Removing any one of the three
seems to "fix" the issue. I've noted the lines which you can comment
out to see the problem resolve. (It should then load the development
SQLite3 database with my test user). The visible symptom is:

> SQLite3::SQLException: no such table: users: SELECT * FROM "users"

Apparently the conflict pushes the app into the test environment.

Gems:

- authlogic 2.1.3
- rspec and rspec-rails 1.2.9
- rails 2.3.4

I'm on passenger 2.2.5, and I hope that's not a factor. I currently run
stock Snow Leopard ruby.

Any clue how I can further track this down? I don't see anything
obvious with either rspec or authlogic fudging with the environment…

Regards,
David Nawara

PS - I think I'll go post this in an authlogic forum now.

I'm not totally there, but I'm pretty sure it's down to the authlogic
plugin. Thanks for your help, and sorry about the misfire on rspec. (I
didn't think that one made sense, but it's all I had at the time.)

I've actually found I can comment out loading observers in my
environment.rb and things will work, or i can remove my
acts_as_authentic tag on my users and I'm OK. I'm mostly certain it's a
plugin load order thing kicking me to the test environment.

Hi all,

This seems like a plugin conflict (I haven't yet had success replicating
this in a new project), but short version is: when I have "rspec-rails"
in my environment.rb plugin config, table names are double quoted in
mysql queries generated by my standard finders.

rspec-rails commented out:

SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE (`users`.`id` = '159564615') LIMIT 1

rspec-rails in enviroment.rb gem config:

SELECT * FROM "users" WHERE ("users"."id" = '159564615') LIMIT 1

The double quotes break the SQL, and so no objects are returned from my
queries. This happened after I updated to 1.2.9 gem versions when I
couldn't get cucumber (0.4.4) to look for git submodules in my project.

Any ideas? I'm pretty lost at the moment, and don't want to run without
rspec (it makes me feel neked).

Short version of my required gems:

cucumber (0.4.4)
mysql (2.8.1)
rails (2.3.4)
rspec (1.2.9)
rspec-rails (1.2.9)

/Dave

I really don't think this is an rspec-rails issue, though I'm certainly happy to apply a patch if I'm wrong. The thing is that there is no code that I'm aware of in the rspec-rails gem that would impact what sql is generated.

If you can find a way to repeat the error and zip up an app for me to look at I'd be glad to.

Cheers,

David

Re: MockExpectationError actual args format for stubbed messages

On Wed, Nov 18, 2009 at 2:53 AM, Tom Stuart <tom@...> wrote:

Hi,

Is it realistic and desirable to tweak RSpec so that the MockExpectationError for a stubbed message works as specified in the attached spec patch?

In short, we wasted some time today on a wild goose chase because a failing expectation error was saying "unexpected arguments, expected: (#<Foo ...>, #<Bar ...>), got: ([#<Foo ...>, #<Bar ...>])" which made it look like we were accidentally building an array around our arguments somewhere in our implementation. Ultimately it turned out that it was a genuine problem with equality between the Foo instances but we were distracted by the array notation for the actual arguments.

Having looked at the RSpec specs I now see that this is intended behaviour because the error is reporting an array of argument arrays, one for each unexpected message. This is understandable but, I think, unnecessarily misleading; it would be much nicer if the most common case (only one unexpected message) looked like "got: (#<Foo ...>, #<Bar ...>)" and we found another syntax for showing multiple calls. In the spec patch I've suggested "got: (#<Foo ...>, #<Bar ...>), (#<Baz ...>, #<Qux ...>)" because that shows multiple messages while avoiding any confusion about whether actual arrays were involved.

I realise this would involve some changes to the plumbing around ErrorGenerator so that the semantics of #raise_unexpected_message_args_error become "here is a (usually single-element) array of argument arrays" rather than the current hack of "here is an argument array (except occasionally it won't quite be, but always display it as though it is)".

I'm happy to investigate, but before I do, does my suggestion meet with general approval?

Approved!

Please submit a lighthouse ticket and reference a patch from there.

Thanks!

Re: rspec-rails gem changing connection adapter

Yeah I think you're right. I'm working on this now... I noticed the
only RAILS_ENV I have set on sqlite is the test environment (in
database.yml), and cucumber is now doing some ||= fun on the RAILS_ENV,
so I'm following that trail. I suspect something (cucumber?) is setting
me to the test or cucumber RAiLS_ENV.

Thanks for the post!

Which version of the rspec-rails gem are you using?

Can you check the value of RAILS_ENV before and after the connection
adapter gets changed? There are plugins and various other things
(including an old version of rspec-rails) that stomp on RAILS_ENV when
they load. That might be the problem.
