Rspec 2, Rails 3 and Webrat

dracko · June 11, 2010, 4:46am

Hi guys,

I’m trying to port an application to Rails 3 but can’t get my
integration tests to run.

I can’t call the Webrat’s method (yields ‘undefined method visit’, for
instance). I don’t use Cucumber.

Is there any instructions about how to configure Rspec 2 with Webrat on
Rails 3?

I also have a custom helper that is not working:

“config.include MyApp::IntegrationHelper, :type => :integration” (the
methods defined in this module are not available in the specs)

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Rodrigo.

Change the directory name to requests (a la merb)

Now I’m getting:

no such file to load – action_controller/integration

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Rodrigo.

P.S.: Sorry if this was sent twice…

remove the :type key from your describe line (it’s no longer needed).

Also, changing the directory name didn’t affect the custom
IntegrationHelper issue…

This is incorrect. It’s just that webrat needs to be configured for
:rack instead of :rails:

  Webrat.configure do |config|
    config.mode = :rack
  end

Since you’re porting an app, there is probably some code somewhere that
says this instead

  # DO NOT DO THIS WITH RAILS 3
  Webrat.configure do |config|
    config.mode = :rails
  end

Get rid of that and you should be fine.

I’m having the same problem the OP mentions – undefined method
“visit”

Trying to upgrade from Rails 2.3 to Rails 3.0.beta4

My test stack:
webrat (0.7.1)
cucumber (0.8.3)
pickle (0.2.1)
factory_girl (1.3.0)
factory_girl_rails (1.0)

I changed config.mode = :rack, as suggested, but I"m still getting the
error.

This is what I have in features/support/env.rb:

require ‘webrat’
require ‘webrat/core/matchers’

Webrat.configure do |config|
config.mode = :rack
config.open_error_files = false # Set to true if you want error
pages to pop up in the browser
end

This is the error I’m getting:

Given I am logged in as a

buyer # features/
step_definitions/user_steps.rb:15
undefined method visit' for #<Cucumber::Rails::World:0xd2f8a2> (NoMethodError) ./features/step_definitions/user_steps.rb:6:inlog_out’
./features/step_definitions/user_steps.rb:37:in do_login' ./features/step_definitions/user_steps.rb:17:in/^I\ am\ logged
\ in\ as\ a\ (.*)$/’

Apparently Webrat is not yet compatible with Rails 3:

github.com

brynary/webrat/blob/master/lib/webrat/integrations/rails.rb

require "action_controller"
require "action_controller/integration"

module ActionController #:nodoc:
  IntegrationTest.class_eval do
    include Webrat::Methods
    include Webrat::Matchers

    # The Rails version of within supports passing in a model and Webrat
    # will apply a scope based on Rails' dom_id for that model.
    #
    # Example:
    #   within User.last do
    #     click_link "Delete"
    #   end
    def within(selector_or_object, &block)
      if selector_or_object.is_a?(String)
        super
      else
        super('#' + RecordIdentifier.dom_id(selector_or_object), &block)

This file has been truncated. show original

line 2: require “action_controller/integration”

action_controller/integration.rb does exist in Rails 2 but not in Rails
3, but I didn’t find any branch for Rails 3 in webrat’s repository.

I’ll give Capybara another try. I had already tried it before but didn’t
change to it because I couldn’t get the Drag & Drop javascript test to
work anyway, but it seems to be a good replacement to Webrat’s and there
seems to be plans to merge them…

Does anyone here use Capybara with Rspec2 and Rails 3 without Cucumber
to write integration tests successfully?

Thanks,

Rodrigo.

Up until now, this thread has been about an issue with RSpec. You are
having an issue with Cucumber. I’d recommend posting it to the Cucumber
google group:

http://groups.google.com/group/cukes

I’m sure someone there can advise.

Cheers,

I did this with webrat 0.7.2, rails 3.0.1, test-unit 2.1.1:

require “webrat”
require ‘webrat/core/matchers’
include Webrat::Methods

Webrat.configure do |config|
config.mode = :rack
end

and for now I can run tests like this:

test “testing_webrat_visit” do
visit ‘home/index’
end

maybe some methods from webrat won’t work, but I haven’t found them yet.
