.html.erb files and autotest

Testing RSpec
1

When I work with a .html.erb file, the autotest rspec on rails stuff
doesn’t
understand the file to map it to the right test. I wanted to submit a
patch
for this, but I’m unsure where the specs would be to update. I found the
necessary mapping in rspec_autotest.rb, but I can’t find any specs
anywhere.
Help?

I just need to have
/app/views/coupon/index.html.erb to map to
/spec/views/coupon/index_spec.rb

The right spec is index.html.erb_spec.rb - that’s what the mapping is.
If you want to change the mapping locally, you can if you’re using
rspec’s trunk and a patched version of ZenTest (see
http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/rspec-users/2008-January/005321.html).

Okay, thanks.

I get this

Dunno! app/views/coupon/index.html.erb

Set $VERBOSE=false in your .autotest file in your home directory.

There will soon (like in the next day or two I think) be a ZenTest
release which will make setting $VERBOSE obsolete. By default you
won’t get the Dunno messages, but you can choose to get them by
running autotest in verbose mode:

autotest -v

The benefit of doing that is it spots files that you may not have
spec’d that you want spec’d. On the flip side you end up with a bunch
of noise but you can eliminate that w/ the :initialize hook:

Autotest.add_hook :initialize do |at|
at.add_exception ‘some_file_i_want_ignored’
end

That goes in .autotest in the root of your project, where you type the
autotest command.

HTH,
David

Awesome David, yeah I was quite surprised that verbose was on by
default in 3.7.2.

I’m probably too much of a Ruby coder, but an Exception is an existing
Ruby class. add_exception seems strange to me.

How about at.except, at.ignore_file or at.ignore ?
I like the last one best.

Bye,
Kero.

Good point. Wrong list. That’s autotest. Try submitting a request in
the ZenTest tracer:

Okay. Thanks for the help, guys. I’m back on track!
