Toa macros with rspec2 beta 5 and rails3 beta2

Question

I installed Rspec2 beta5 and shoulda like the following to use toa macros in rspec model tests.

==================

Update 2011-Feb-18

Now we can use the tooltip sockets out of the box.

Just add gem shoulda-matchers to your Gemfile and nothing else in spec_helper or any hack. It just works.

==================

Gemfile

 group :test do gem "rspec", ">= 2.0.0.beta.4" gem "rspec-rails", ">= 2.0.0.beta.4" gem 'shoulda', :git => 'git://github.com/bmaddy/ shoulda.git' gem "faker" gem "machinist" gem "pickle", :git => 'git://github.com/codegram/ pickle.git' gem 'capybara', :git => 'git://github.com/jnicklas/ capybara.git' gem 'database_cleaner', :git => 'git://github.com/bmabey/ database_cleaner.git' gem 'cucumber-rails', :git => 'git://github.com/aslakhellesoy/ cucumber-rails.git' end 

spec_helper.rb

 Dir["#{File.dirname(__FILE__)}/support/**/*.rb"].each {|f| require f} require 'shoulda' Rspec.configure do |config| 

Specification / Models / outlet_spec.rb

 require 'spec_helper' describe Outlet do it { should validate_presence_of(:name) } end 

And when I run spec, I get the following error.

 [~/rails_apps/rails3_apps/automation (master)⚡] ➔ spec spec/models/ outlet_spec.rb DEPRECATION WARNING: RAILS_ROOT is deprecated! Use Rails.root instead.

Why is the "undefined method" ?? Should the load be loaded?

Answer 1

Using RSpec 2.0.0.b .19

 # Gemfile group :test do gem "rspec", ">= 2.0.0.beta.19" gem "rspec-rails", ">= 2.0.0.beta.17" gem "shoulda" end # spec/spec_helper.rb require 'rspec/rails' require 'shoulda/integrations/rspec2' # Add this line # In your specs.... it { should validate_presence_of(:name) } 

Running rake spec should now load and run specifications, including RSpec 2 mappings.

Answer 2

Think that this is due to the new validation syntax in rails3:

validates: name ,: presence => true

Answer 3

The method should check s _presence_of. You missed
