Rspec_scaffold and mocha

Testing RSpec
1

Hi All,

I have a question about the rspec_scaffold and if it’s compatible with
other mocking frameworks.
I just created a blank application and a scaffold of a very basic
model. The specs run fine untill I choose to use mocha in the
spec_helper.

Can somebody please tell me if this is ment to be and if so if there’s
an easy way to make the scaffold work with mocha ?

Thanks in advance!
Jeroen

spec_helper to run with the appropriate libraries.

I think your idea for scaffolding with different mocking libraries is
a good one. Please open a ticket on lighthouse and let’s see if we can
get some more input from others in the community as well as the core
team.

You can go ahead and file a feature request if you like, but given
that there is a GSOC project to deal with rails generators, including
support for rspec, I’m not going to be making any significant changes
to the rspec generators in the short term.

Cheers,
David

RSpec scaffold is not set up produce scaffold for all of the various
mocking libraries. It does so just for what comes with RSpec. I do not
know of a way to simply replace scaffolding w/o providing more
scaffolding (ones for each mocking library) and then adding a flag to
the “script/generate” command to produce scaffolding for
rspec+default, rspec+mocha, rspec+rr, etc.

Also, in addition to this the normal “script/generate rspec” command
could be used to take the same options so it would configure your
spec_helper to run with the appropriate libraries.
