Broken URL on rspec.info

Testing RSpec
1

Hey folks. I was looking for the mailing list archive up on rspec.info.
I clicked on the “community” link and received the URL
“http://ey01-s00414/community/”. This isn’t correct, obviously. The
hint
shows it as, “http://rspec.info/community”.

Where is the mailing list archive? How far back does it go? I’d really
like to read back through it and research my own problems as much as
possible.

With Regards,

Try http://rspec.info/community/ (with a trailing slash).

I’ll work to get that resolved.

Where is the mailing list archive?

Hi Ingo,

Try loading your data up manually using ‘Given’ blocks:

(my_story.txt)
Given a user called Bob
And a user called Charlie

and:

(steps.rb)
Given “a user called $name” do |name|
User.create! :name => name
end

Hope this helps

Hi all,

how/where do I load fixtures in stories?

Thanks, Chris!

This is how I create most of my data for stories. However, I have one
case (globalize languages/countries) where loading the data from
fixtures seems to make more sense. Also, I would like to load them in
one place, globally for all stories, as you can do in spec_helper, in
order to not have to include a ‘Given language …’ in all of my
stories. Is that possible?

If you do a self.class.fixtures :all (or whatever name) in the given
block, then you can read from fixtures, but you won’t be able to do
users(:tester), you’ll have to do a User.find
