Fixture_scenarios problem

Testing RSpec
1

Hello there,

is anyone still using fixture_scenarios with RSpec these days? They
don’t seem to coexist peacefully anymore.

I just created a new rails (2.2.2) app, generated an rspec_scaffold
(with v. 1.1.12), and verified that all specs pass.

But if I then install the fixture_scenarios plugin:

script/plugin install
http://fixture-scenarios.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/fixture_scenarios

all specs break, with the first error line being:

/Users/giuseppe/trails/witest/vendor/plugins/fixture_scenarios/lib/fixture_scenarios.rb:37
:in `create_fixtures’

(more details upon request)

On the other hand, the same plugin used to work with RSpec 1.1.4

Has anyone encountered/solved this problem?
Thanks in advance,

Giuseppe

Is the git tree any different than the svn one?

GitHub - mojombo/fixture-scenarios: This plugin allows you to create 'scenarios' which are collections of fixtures and ruby files that represent a context against which you can run tests.

Hi Scott, I checked, and the two trees are actually identical.

It seems that while fixture_scenarios has not changed since around April
2007, changes in rspec since v.1.1.4 have created (or revealed) an
incompatibility.

Thanks in advance for any advice on this problem.

It was this change included in rspec 1.1.12 that caused the problem:
http://rspec.lighthouseapp.com/projects/5645-rspec/tickets/620-fixture_path-moved-from-testunittestcase-to-activesupporttestcase

Basically rspec extends ActiveSupport::TestCase instead of
Test::Unit:TestCase.

I have made a fix to fixture scenarios which fixes that particular
problem. I’ve made it available here:

All it does is change fixture scenarios to use ActiveSupport::TestCase
as well and it works for me.

It works!
Thank you very, very much, Pelle.
