RSpec with edge rails (2.3 RC1)

Testing RSpec
1

Hi,

I’m failing miserably to get RSpec running with edge rails (2.3 RC1).
I’ve tried building/installing the 1.1.99.1 gems from David’s git
repos (GitHub - dchelimsky/rspec-rails: RSpec extension library for Ruby on Rails and
GitHub - dchelimsky/rspec: Behaviour Driven Development framework for Ruby), but no luck.

I realize “releases with a 4th partial [are] interim (unofficial)
release[s]” and I should use them at my own risk. Could someone
kindly provide fairly explicit instructions for getting RSpec running
with 2.3 RC1? I suspect I’m making things more difficult than they
are.

If needed I can post error messages, but I’m not sure I’m on the right
path to start with, so I don’t think that would be helpful.

Thanks,

/g

We’re up to 1.1.99.9 now - have you tried that?

From David: > We’re up to 1.1.99.9 now - have you tried that?

Sorry, yes, I meant 1.1.99.1.

~/work/rspec (master) $ gem list rspec

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

rspec (1.1.99.9)
rspec-rails (1.1.99.9)

This is what I did:

cloned: git://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec.git
rake gem
rake install_gem

cloned: git://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec-rails.git
rake gem
rake install_gem

In my project:
script/generate rspec

modified: lib/tasks/rspec.rake

modified: script/autospec

modified: spec/spec_helper.rb

spec spec/models/html_page_spec.rb
/opt/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:636:in

from /opt/local/bin/spec:19

spec_helper.rb (line 6)
require ‘spec/rails’

$ cat spec_helper.rb
ENV[“RAILS_ENV”] = “test”
require File.expand_path(File.dirname(FILE) +
“/…/config/environment”)
require ‘spec’
require ‘spec/rails’

Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
config.use_transactional_fixtures = true
config.use_instantiated_fixtures = false
config.fixture_path = RAILS_ROOT + ‘/spec/fixtures/’
end

So it looks as if I need to update the dependency version for rspec to
be 1.1.99.9, but I’m not sure where I need to do that.

Thanks,

OK - I know what the cause might be here. Do me a favor and repeat
that process please (using pull instead of clone - I just pushed some
code to github) and let me know if you still have a problem.

Thx

I pulled both repos and tried ‘rake gem’ but got ‘permission denied’
‘sudo rake gem’ worked:

~/work/rspec (master) $ rake gem

same with ‘rake install_gem’ (required sudo)

After re-running “script/generate rspec” it still fails:

I wish I had better news to report.

Thanks for your help,

Is something in your app is requiring version 1.1.11.1 in specific?

Negative.

That was my thought too, but no such requirement exists.

Gotta be coming from somewhere. May not be in your app, but something
somewhere on your machine is requiring rspec-1.1.11.1, otherwise we
wouldn’t be getting that error. What about other gems you might be
using?

Thanks, David. That was a good call.

I had these installed:

dchelimsky-rspec (1.1.11.1)
dchelimsky-rspec-rails (1.1.11.1)

They were getting picked up instead of the new 1.1.99.9 gems.

Once I uninstalled them, everything worked.

Thanks again. I appreciate the support.

Glad you got it resolved.
