rspec2

Creating some controller tests with RSpec, I find myself repeating several test cases for every possible user role. For example describe "GET 'index'" do context "for admin user" do login_user("admin") it "has the right title" do response.should have_selector("title", :content => "the title") end end context "for regular user" do login_user("user") it "has the right title" do response.should have_selector("title", :content => "the title") end end end This is a simple example just to make my point, but I have a lot of tests that are repeated... Of course there are also some tests that are

In my Rails 3.2 app, I'm trying to use config.exceptions_app to route exceptions through the routing table to render error-specific pages (especially one for 401 Forbidden). Here's what I've got so far for configuration: # application.rb config.action_dispatch.rescue_responses.merge!('Error::Forbidden' => :forbidden) config.exceptions_app = ->(env) { ErrorsController.action(:show).call(env) } # development.rb config.consider_all_requests_local = false # test.rb config.consider_all_requests_local = false And now the meat of the matter: module Error class Forbidden < StandardError end end class

For days now I have been trying to get to the bottom of what seam to be something that should be very easy to do... I am however still very new to the world of rails and ruby and I just cant work this one out... :p Anyway the problem I am having is that I have a number of :counter_cache columns in my model's, which are all working quite nicely when testing them manually. However I am wanting to do the TDD thing and I cant seam to test them in rspec for some unknown reason?? Anyway here is an example of my model's (User's, comments & Media): class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :comments

I am using rspec and capybara for integration testing. Is their a way to make session objects in request specs? I have a view page in which I use a session object to check its value to display selective content. The problem am facing is that I cannot create a session object in request spec. Here is an example of the view: <% if session[:role] == "Role" %> ---content--- <% else %> --content-- <% end %> And inside my request spec session[:role] = "Role" visit my_path But it throws me an error "undefined method `session' for nil:NilClass". I also tried looking into creating session objects of

Working with RSpec & Capybara, I'm getting an interesting test failure mode which goes away with a few subtle rearrangements of lines in the test case...stuff that shouldn't matter. I'm developing my own authentication system. It is currently working and I can login/out with the browser and the session works etc etc. However, trying to test this is failing. Something is going on that I don't quite understand, which seems to depend on the order of (seemingly) unrelated calls. require 'spec_helper' describe "Sessions" do it 'allows user to login' do #line one user = Factory(:user) #For SO, this

I need to receive incoming emails as multipart-formdata via a POST request from Cloudmailin. The POST resembles the following: Parameters: {"to"=>"<email@exmaple.comt>", "from"=>"whomever@example", "subject"=>"my awesome subject line.... Actually, receiving and parsing emails is super easy because the email is just posted as params: params[:to], params[:from], etc. However, how do I simulate this POST request in rails? I built a dummy rails app to test out Cloudmailin, so I have an actual request. However, it's a 6k character file, so I'd like to load this file as the parameters of the POST
