RSpec on Rails 2.0

[mark]

I have a project on edge rails that I’m trying to convert from Test:Unit
to rspec. I have the rspec gem version 2338, the rspec and
rsepc_on_rails version 2831 in vendor/plugins, and rails version 8117 in
vendor/rails.

I’ve been able to get a few specs passing, have gotten the specs running
from autotest, and am able to do “rake spec:doc” and get the basic
command line spec printout. I’d like be able to generate the html spec
printout, so I tried “spec spec --format html” but got the “undefined
method `before’ for Spec::Rails::DSL::RailsExample:Class
(NoMethodError)” mentioned in the “Autotest busted with Rspec/Rails
trunk” thread from this forum.

I was wondering if anyone else has been able to get the spec printouts
working with edge rails and if so what versions of
rails/rspec/rspec_on_rails were used.

Thanks for your help,

• Mark

I can’t get rspec to work with rails edge either, when I do
“rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=test”

I get:

undefined method failure_message' for classSpec::Matchers::Have’

So I can’t even start working on my project It works without rspec.

That was due to a change in edge rails 8115, which broke rspec. It is
now fixed - just update rspec to the current trunk.

Ive just svn up and I still get the same error.

I don’t know what to tell you - I just blew away vendor/rails,
vendor/plugins/rspec and vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails, reinstalled
all three from their respective trunks and all is well.

The problem was being caused by two files in the same location on the
path:

vendor/plugins/rspec/lib/spec/matchers/have.rb
vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails/lib/spec/matchers/have.rb

The were both being seen as spec/matchers/have.rb.

I moved the one in rspec_on_rails to a different location. Any chance
the old one is still sitting around?

Did you svn up rspec_on_rails as well?

Can you provide a tiny bit more context than that? What command are
you using? Stack trace?

I did rm -rf both and now I get this:
superclass mismatch for class TestResponse

That line reads like this:

class TestResponse < AbstractResponse

So it seems like there’s some other loading problem. Try and blow away
the rspec plugins and run this migration and see if you still have
trouble.

if I nuke the plugin i works:

rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=test
(in /home/pat/catalogr)
== 2 CreateBrands: migrating

– create_table(:brands)
-> 0.2779s
== 2 CreateBrands: migrated (0.2782s)

What other plugins do you have installed?

ok works great maybe because I did the scaffold with an old version
rspec? (the one from this morning), sounds weird though. anyway,
Thanks a lot!

I just did this:

rails foo
cd foo
rake rails:freeze:edge
ruby script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/trunk/rspec
ruby script/plugin install
svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/trunk/rspec_on_rails
script/generate rspec
rake db:create:all
script/generate rspec_scaffold Thing name:string
rake db:migrate
rake spec

All ran perfectly well. I really don’t know what’s going on on your
machine.

Ah - why are you doing that? rake spec takes care of setting up your
test db.

Installing plugin from the url you provided fixed the issue. I had
“undefined method `failure_message’” problem with plugin installed today
from this url:
