Hi all, I've been using rspec / rails for just over a week now, and I'm loving the specification framework. The way I can group examples together feels really natural, and I'm finding the TDD flow terrific.
Thus far I've used the describe / it "should..." syntax to basically do TDD of my controllers, views and models, with splendid isolation using the mocking framework. I've yet to write any 'integrations tests', in fact I'm not yet clear how much value they have. What originally attracted me to rspec was hearing Dan North talk about the plain text stories, and I had some fun in my previous life as a C# programmer using them to drive watir tests of an ASP.NET app. What I'm not sure about is how they're most appropriately used in rails. Are people generally using them, as I was in the .NET world, to drive selenium/watir acceptance tests, or do they have value as replacements to the rails 'integration tests'? How about webrat? or some other glue / tool that I haven't heard of yet? Just a quick answer from anyone out there using these tools would be great in order to get a feel for the current state of the art, and some fresh fuel for my googling! Sorry if this post is a bit rambling... thanks for bearing with me as I scramble up the learning curve! cheers, Matt -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
