[rspec-users] Stubbing calls to the command line

I'm using a call to wget to download a large datafile (multiple megabytes) having assumed this will be quicker than using open-uri. How can I spec the behaviour? Ideally I'd also like to not be hitting the internet every time I test! in my_object_spec.rb describe ".get_data" do before(:eac

[rspec-users] Spec the Application Controller application.rb

How would I go about writing specs for methods in the Application Controller: I'm thinking of simple methods that do authentication, through before filters or for example how might I spec this method in an application_spec.rb? def store_location session[:return_to] = request.request_uri e

[rspec-users] redirect_to

OK I'm back and surely missing stuff again... In my controller tests I'm checking for a redirect after a destroy action. First up it's a single resource ("map.resource :cart" in routes.rb) in CartsController.rb def destroy @cart = Cart.find(session[:cart], :include => :items) if session[:

[rspec-users] Testing with has_many associations

Hi I'm trying to be good and practice full BDD on my current project, and don't want to abandon it as I have previously (expediency triumphed unfortunately). So expect me to be making frequent 'noob' style posts... My current issue is with testing assignation across a has_many relationship. I'm aw
