Rspec beta8: helper methods issues

Testing RSpec
1

Hello everybody,

I am experiencing the following problems, I googled quickly but I
couldn’t find any documentation or solution to those issues:

  1. the generator rails g rspec:helper does nothing;
  2. there seems to be no way to test helper methods as I used to do…
    for example
    the following spec
    it ‘should set monday as first day of the week’ do
    helper.ordered_day_names.first.should == ‘Lun’
    end
    raises the error undefined local variable or method `helper’ for
    #Rspec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested_2::Nested_1:0x2da5d10
  3. testing views where I call helper methods I need to explicitly stub
    out the helper methods, even if I include the helper module.

This all happens with rspec beta 8, rails 3.0beta3, and ruby 1.9.2

Regards
Andrea

  • no helper specs (yet)
  • no routing specs (yet)
  • only works with ActiveRecord (for now)

See Known Issues on GitHub - rspec/rspec-rails: RSpec for Rails 5+. Helper specs
are coming soon - certainly before any final release - but not yet.
