Hi Everybody,

Greetings!!

I want to use rspec for my applications. Please guide me with the Rspec
tutorial.

I want a good example to start with.

Please help me by providing good tutorials on Rspec to start with.

I actually followed the example from http://rspec.info

Please guide me on more examples.

Waiting for your reply.

Besides the already mentioned book, the PeepCode screencasts
are very good introductory material.

FWIW,

Hi, I really doubt that any one is going to write a book and make it
free to
download. Next, did you try google.com in regards to finding the
information on RSpec tutorials? In any case, I would recommend seeing
what’s available on railscasts.com because I’m sure that Ryan B. has
done
one or more screencasts on RSpec and BDD. Also, I’m sure that you can
find
many blog posts on the subject as well.

Good luck,

-Conrad

There are. But they’re not free.

Just an idea, but maybe it would be useful to find some open source
projects that are using rSpec and take a look at their specs. That
should give you a good idea of how people are using rSpec in the real
world.

Good idea, Robert!

To the OP: I use RSpec extensively in test-first development. You’re
welcome to check out the specs and features in Quorum (
GitHub - marnen/quorum2: The Quorum calendar system. ) for a real-world example.

And there are plenty of bloggers who have written about RSpec: David
Chelimsky (the ‘god-father’ of RSpec), Pat M., …

There’s also a google group for RSpec.

The best source IS the RSpec Book which is in beta from the Pragmatic
Programmer, the PDF version isn’t that expensive.

The problem is that RSpec like almost everything in the Ruby/Rails
environment is evolving rapidly.

This is not a bug. It’s a feature! :slight_smile:
