Re: [rspec-users] Am I off track on my testing?

I really agree with the topic starter. I've always done the rspec testing with all layers in isolation, a bit like the first example. Now for my latest project I went a bit for a more TDD approach, sending a request to a controller and testing the full stack, including the dynamic bits of the layou

[rspec-users] Branching scenarios, GivenScenario and database

I'm trying to use stories to drive some high-level design. I've got some branching scenarios where I want to follow a scenario, to establish a base situation, and then have different scenarios which 'branch' out from that state, possibly several levels deep. I asked a bit about this a few days a

[rspec-users] Disabling a set of tests?

Hi all, Part of the integration test suite involves running against a sandbox on Paypal's server. Lately that server's been acting flakely. It doesn't fail all the time, but enough to confuse people. I made pending some tests that looked like they were repeat offenders, but now I'm seeing the s

Folks, I was wondering if someone would be able to help me out with a quandry. I'm trying to write an rspec plugin module for merb that will run all specs within an ActiveRecord (initially) database transaction - to give functionality similar to rails transactional fixtures. Here is the module:

Stub out the first one, something like template.stub!(:render) Then, each of your tests set the actual should_receive expectation. -Corey On Fri, Mar 14, 2008 at 8:44 AM, Alan Larkin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm trying to specify that a particular view must render two different > partials.

I'm trying to specify that a particular view must render two different partials. My spec looks like: describe AClass do it do template.should_receive(:render).with(:partial => 'foo', :locals => { ... }) ... end describe 'some conditional case' do it do template.s
