[rspec-users] Can I set subject to its own method call?

The symbol "subject" by default is an instance of the described class. In some method testing I often want to set the subject to be a method call to the instance, for example "city.parse_input()". I tried to do describe '#parse_input' do subject{ subject.parse_input() } #returns hash ... end but

Re: [rspec-users] Do you still Write Tests First on code that is churning hard?

I kind of follow a similar principle here. Many times I will write app code because in not sure how to pull of the functionality I'm try to do. Once I can confirm that I'm getting the expected results, I take a mental note of what I did, remove the code, and drive it out again with the spec

Re: [rspec-users] rspect weird problem

no, that didn't work, but i found that i may be due to garbage collector taking place before test starts, so the solution was to add a set called instances and then in the initialize method put the following code line "instances << self", this way my instances had a root, preventing the garbage

[rspec-users] Sufficiently tested?

Hi everybody, I have a general question about how many different cases have to be covered in one Example. Considering the famous Fizzbuzz program, you should test if your output is either "Fizz", "buzz", "Fizzbuzz" or just the number (between 1 and 100). Pretty simple. However, I often see soluti

[rspec-users] re -raise exceptions in stories?

I see that rails handles exceptions in stories by rendering public/500.html, whereas in controller specs exceptions are re-raised. Is it possible to have this same behaviour in stories so I can check the correct exceptions are being raised? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/
