[rspec-users] debugger in controller in rspec

I placed a debugger statement in a controller being tested with rspec2 to catch what's going on, but the statement is ignored? Do I have to do anything special to get the debugger to stop in the controller under rspec? If I place the debugger statement in the spec, I get a break -- but I want the b

[rspec-users] TextMate and RSpec

produces a fail, however, because the data in tables remain. This is somewhat inconsistent, too. Running it twice produces a pass. Any ideas? How can I ensure that the database -- or at least the tables for the two models -- is empty? -- Martin Streicher Fresh Pixels and Bytes (and now Commas

[rspec-users] rspec tests and acts_as_solr models

I would like to use rspec to test a model that leverages acts_as_solr. I think I want to render rebuild_solr_index and solr_commit and perhaps other methods that call out to the Solr server moot by having those functions simply return true. (I will build other tests to make sure my Solr c

Hey, James. Nice to hear from you. If you hear of any work, send it my way. I did watch the PeepCode stuff. I will watch it again now that I have a little experience with the whole thing -- perhaps it will fill in some blanks. On Sep 17, 2008, at 2:13 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: it'

Re: [rspec-users] The distinctive smell of newbiness

The heart of my question is the seemingly chicken-and-egg-like nature of testing many models that work together. I now have two flavors of tests: tests that keep the models honest (computations and returns values are consistent and accurate) and tests that operate at the macro level as yo

Re: [rspec-users] Prepare for newbie-ness

I find the debugger helpful to step through the underlying Rails code when I am perplexed about the (errant) operation of something. The underworld is full of wonderful secrets. Plus, I do make mistakes and misinterpret and the debugger lets me take a look around. I try to avoid making ba

[rspec-users] Prepare for newbie-ness

A few questions from someone new to rspec. 1/ I have several complex yet largely independent models using rspec to test internals and computation methods. I am about to tackle models that have several ties to each other and to the "primitive", independent models. One model has stuff like
