Hi all,
I have a rails application whose specs run on about eight different
boxes, but I can't get them to work on my integration server. The bit
thats breaking concerns some modules that I have in
spec/support/modules which are loaded by
the following line in spec_helper
# get any macros etc
Dir[File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/support/**/*.rb"].each {|f| require f}
one of these modules includes the other modules, and this generates
the following stacktrace
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.4/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:440:in
`load_missing_constant': uninitialized constant
OrderSpecHelper::BasketSpecHelper (NameError)
from
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.4/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:80:in
`const_missing'
from ./spec/helpers/../support/modules/order_spec_helper.rb:2
from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in
`gem_original_require'
from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in
`require'
from
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.4/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:158:in
`require'
the line causing this is order_spec_helper.rb:2
module OrderSpecHelper
include BasketSpecHelper
and BasketSpecHelper is defined in
/support/modules/basket_spec_helper.rb
and is coded something like
module BasketSpecHelper
...
I wonder if anyone has any ideas about the cause of this problem or
some ideas about possible solutions
I've ran into similar issues. The problem in my case was the my
integration server was running linux but our dev boxes were OSx. The
issue was file ordering being different for the Dir::[] method on the
OSes. Try adding a sort call like so:
Dir[File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/support/**/*.rb"].sort.each {|f| require f}
HTH,
Ben
