- First question
I am getting this error when running my tests:
…
b spec/views/projects/index.rhtml_spec.rb spec/views/projects/
new.rhtml_spec.rb
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/
active_support/dependencies.rb:266:in `load_missing_constant’:
uninitialized constant ProjectsHelper (NameError)
…
The first time I saw this I figured I would just get everything
working by commenting out the
+++
include ProjectHelper
+++
within the view tests. And that let everything run fine. Then I see
the same error again at the same file (index.rhtml.spec.rb), so I
delete the line, and everything runs fine. Then the next time I run
the tests the same error is being thrown, but is now pointing to a
different file where the line is commented out.
What is going on here? Is this a common rSpec bug?
- Next question.
When I run the tests I get the following error for one of the auto-
created tests, and cannot figure out why it is throwing it.
describe “/projects/new.rhtml” do
before do
@project = mock_model(Project)
@project.stub!(:new_record?).and_return(true)
assigns[:project] = @project
end
it “should render new form” do
render “/projects/new.rhtml”
# THIS IS THE LINE THE ERROR IS BEING THROWN ON
response.should have_tag(“form[action=?][method=post]”,
projects_path) do
end
end
end
Here is the error message
+++++++
ActionView::TemplateError in ‘/projects/new.rhtml should render new
form’
Mock ‘Project_1000’ received unexpected message :name with (no args)
On line #3 of app/views/projects/_form.rhtml
1: <p>
2: <label for="project_name">Name:</label>
3: <%= f.text_field :name %>
4: </p>
5:
6: <p>
+++++++
Here is a snippet from the _form.rhtml file
Name: <%= f.text_field :name %>
Description: <%= f.text_area :description %>
+++++++++++
After seeing this error I thought I would set the name parameter in
the mock object. After doing so the test failed again, but because
the description was not set.
- Yet another question
Is there some crazy bugs with the setup scripts?
I have found for the second time that the required files within the
script/ folder, as well as the spec_helper.rb and spec_opts, are never
created. Luckily for me I had one or two test projects that used on
of the older versions of rSpec so I was able to copy them over.
I can’t see something like this not being fixed, so is it just me?
- And finally
- I created a simple Person model with rspec_model and a person
controller with rspec_controller. - The person model was created with one field: name:string
- There is no additional code within the person model class.
I then run the tests expecting everything to pass but I get one error
thrown saying that the person model is invalid.
+++++
ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in ‘Person should be valid’
ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid
./spec/models/person_spec.rb:5:in `new’
./spec/models/person_spec.rb:5:
script/spec:4:
+++++
require File.dirname(FILE) + ‘/…/spec_helper’
describe Person do
before(:each) do
@person = Person.new
end
it “should be valid” do
@person.should be_valid
end
end
+++++
Any ideas?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
