[rspec-users] How to write a plugin that uses rspec internally?

My team is working on a plugin and we want to use RSpec internally for the plugin's tests. (a) What are some different ways to go about this? Should we rely on the RSpec gem? Should we expect that the "host" Rails application has installed the RSpec plugins? Are there other options? (b) Which

[rspec-users] #add method?

I've seen reference to an 'add' method, as in Model.add. When and why would I want to use it? Is it related to Model.collection.build? Thanks, David ___ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-user

[rspec-users] How far to go with ActiveRecord unit tests without hitting the database?

I'm currently try to push my limits a little bit with some of my unit testing -- trying to avoid saving ActiveRecord objects to the database and take advantage of mock/stub objects. How far should I expect to get in this direction? From what I can tell, ActiveRecord seems to fight me when it come

Re: [rspec-users] #add method?

I wish I was more specific, indeed. :) While scouring the Web for examples of mocking ActiveRecord associations (see other thread), I saw the add method -- but couldn't figure out what it did. That made me wonder if it was perhaps some special construct in RSpec (perhaps for helping with associat

Re: [rspec-users] I lost the RSpec fight

In case it helps those who want to make it a little easier to try both at the same time (i.e. a bridge), ReinH has got a script that helps use autotest growl with both Test::Unit and RSpec: http://reinh.com/2007/9/12/the-autotest-rosetta-stone ___ rspec-u

Re: [rspec-users] How far to go with ActiveRecord unit tests without hitting the database?

> > "But otherwise, what exactly are you testing?" > That's a great point. I don't want to be specing Rails if it is not easily separable for testing already. In theory, I would like to have true unit tests for my models. However, in practice, some of my models are coupled to some degree. Gener

[rspec-users] Testing for particular CSS (i.e. display: none)

I have a page that hides elements using CSS display: none. I don't expect RSpec to test any changes made by Javascript; I just want to test how the page loads initially: what is visible and what is not. Can I test this in RSpec? Or do I need to use something like Selenium? __

Perfect. That's really nifty. I'm also reading the comments in selector_assertions.rb in actionpack. On 9/25/07, David Chelimsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 9/25/07, David James <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have a page that hides elements using

Re: [rspec-users] helper methods starting with should

-1* I upgraded a Rails project from rspec 0.9 to 1.1.2 -- and this change caused me some pain. Luckily, I figured it out and confirmed it here on the list before things got too bad. :) * That said, I have to admit that I'm not super-pleased about my helper methods that start with should_ -- they p
