I just resolved this bug, by implementing a specific mechanism for determining the path of the template that was rendered. This is cleaner than relying on ActionView's internal state, and should hopefully be more future-proof!

Now to track down that action mailer issue...

Thanks for your help with this!

The second series of errors were all related to #first_render being removed from ActionView::Base.

i noticed a ticket was opened in lighthouse about this so I responded there:
http://engines.lighthouseapp.com/projects/10178-engines-plugin/tickets/41-view-tests-shouldnt-rely-on-first_render#ticket-41-2

 however, I thought I would continue this conversation here as well.

Hi, I tried globally changing the <%= self.first_render %> to <%= self.instance_variable_get(:@_first_render) %>

this seems to work pushing the errors to failures:

<"namespace/app_and_plugin/a_view (from app)"> expected but was <"namespace/app_and_plugin/a_view.html.erb (from app)">

etc.

This seems acceptable if the test condition was just changed from assert_response_body 'alpha_plugin/a_view' to assert_response_body 'alpha_plugin/a_view.html.erb'

would that still satisfy the test? are the file extensions a problem?

the error is:
ActionView::MissingTemplate: Missing template plugin_mail/ mail_from_plugin.erb in view path

What confuses me, is that there is a standard mail_from_plugin.text.plain.erb template.

I copied this template into a file called mail_from_plugin.html.erb and the same test passed.

Does anyone have any idea why this is? Also I am not sure if there is a reason that just the plain text template is in there and not the html.erb template. Is this test testing particularly for the plain text template?

well... I get one unit test error and 6 functional errors.

The unit test error is is in ./test/unit/action_mailer_test.rb:34:in

`test_should_be_able_to_create_mails_from_plugin'

ActionView::MissingTemplate: Missing template plugin_mail/ mail_from_plugin.erb

The functional test errors are all the same:

ActionView::TemplateError: undefined method `first_render' for #<ActionView::Base:0x236b670>

Here is a pastie of the full test results http://pastie.org/309061

If anyone has any idea about these that would be great... in the mean time, I have been trying to track them down.

Thanks all,

Ned

The simplest way to check the state of edge engines is to check out the edge branch and run the tests:

  $ git clone git://github.com/lazyatom/engines.git
  $ git checkout edge
  $ rake test RAILS=edge

At the moment, there seems to be an issue with the templating - one of the ActionMailer unit tests is failing, and a bunch of functional tests are also failing. The functional failures are due to the removal of a method we were relying on to determine what was being rendered ('first_render'). I suspect that these errors might be hiding another minor template error.

The branch which contains Samuel Williams' patch for timestamped migrations ('use_rails_own_migration_mechanism') isn't merged with edge or master yet, although I expect to merge it soon (potentially this afternoon).

If you have any problems running the tests, let me know. Hope that helps!

Hello,

I am trying to help get the project Adva-CMS (http://adva-cms.org/) up to date and ready for Rails 2.2.

Adva relies heavily on Engines and uses a fork that Sven Fuchs made to get timestamped migrations to work.

I see that the incompatibility with rails 2.2 has been addressed on the edge branch on github: http://github.com/lazyatom/engines/commit/499ce3b0480d8fa9375203f5efcadb8cf6ea9efe

My question is, what state is edge Engines in? and is the timestamped migrations issue fixed in edge Engines?

I would like to re-integrate the base Engines repo into Adva-CMS if I could, but if it is not feasible, I could patch Sven's fork and keep using that.

Please advise
