Hi folks,
I'm somewhat new to the current RSpec release - at work we are still
using 0.8.something, with "context 'blah' do ... specify 'should
thing' ..."
We have some helper code to automatically mix-in selenium:
module SeleniumHelper
include SpecHelper
...
def initialize(arg)
@selenium = SeleniumHelper.selenium
end
(selenium.rb also adds some method-missing magic so we don't need to
say '@selenium.open(foo)' we can just say 'open(foo)', but that's not
particularly relevant to my question)
My problem is, at home in rspec 1.0.8, including this module doesn't work:
describe ThingController do
include SeleniumHelper
it "should list all known things" do
@selenium.open "/thing/list" # ==> fails with "nil.open" error
SeleniumHelper.selenium.open "/thing/list" # ==> succeeds!
open "/thing/list" # ==>fails with "nil.open" error
end
end
The first line fails - @selenium seems to be nil, I get an exception.
The second line passes.
The third line fails also, for the same reason as the first.
Any thoughts? Any hints on getting @selenium initialised? It seems
that the method-missing magic is (probably) working, as the third line
fails in the same way as the first line - but I'd like to know how to
get @selenium to exist.
(addendum - if I add to my startup code:
config.before(:all) { @selenium = SeleniumHelper.selenium }
it seems to work! But I'm still interested in why it doesn't get set
in "initialize"...)
