Rspec2 for rails 2.3.8?

luislavena · February 25, 2011, 10:30pm

Hi experts,

I picked up a copy of the rspec book and wrote some tests in spec/lib
and spec/models for my Rails 2.3.8 code.

I was using rspec 2.5.1, rspec-core 2.5.0, rspec-expectations 2.5.0 et.
al.

But I realised that the rspec-rails version I am using is meant for
Rails3.

Which version of rspec-rails should I use for Rails 2.3.8?

Best,
Radhesh

rspec-rails 1.3.3 is currently the latest release for Rails 2.3.x.

rspec-rails 1.3.3 is currently the latest release for Rails 2.3.x.

I am getting this error with my current setup, which I think, should not
happen:

 Failure/Error: non_uniq_agg.should have(2).errors_on(:name)
 NoMethodError:
   undefined method `errors_on' for #<Aggregate:0x383fe1aa>

where ‘Aggregate’ is a model I am testing.

My gem list looks like so:

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

abstract (1.0.0)
actionmailer (2.3.8)
actionpack (2.3.8)
activerecord (2.3.8)
activerecord-jdbc-adapter (1.1.1)
activerecord-jdbcmysql-adapter (1.1.1)
activeresource (2.3.8)
activesupport (2.3.8)
backports (1.18.2)
bouncy-castle-java (1.5.0145.2)
builder (2.1.2)
columnize (0.3.1)
diff-lcs (1.1.2)

macaddr (1.0.0)
rack (1.2.1, 1.1.0)
rack-mount (0.6.13)
rack-test (0.5.7)
rails (2.3.8)
rake (0.8.7)
rspec (2.5.0, 1.3.1)
rspec-core (2.5.1)
rspec-expectations (2.5.0)
rspec-mocks (2.5.0)
rspec-rails (1.3.3)
ruby-debug (0.10.3)
ruby-debug-base (0.10.3.2)
sources (0.0.1)
thor (0.14.6)
tzinfo (0.3.24)
uuid (2.3.1)

And my spec_helper looks like so:

ENV[“RAILS_ENV”] ||= ‘development’
require File.expand_path(“…/…/config/environment”, FILE)

Requires supporting ruby files with custom matchers and macros, etc,

in spec/support/ and its subdirectories.

Dir[Rails.root.join(“spec/support/**/*.rb”)].each {|f| require f}

RSpec.configure do |config|

== Mock Framework

If you prefer to use mocha, flexmock or RR, uncomment the

appropriate line:

config.mock_with :mocha

config.mock_with :flexmock

config.mock_with :rr

config.mock_with :rspec

Remove this line if you’re not using ActiveRecord or ActiveRecord

fixtures
#config.fixture_path = “#{::Rails.root}/spec/fixtures”

If you’re not using ActiveRecord, or you’d prefer not to run each of

your

examples within a transaction, remove the following line or assign

false

instead of true.

#config.use_transactional_fixtures = true
end

Is there something else I should be including?

Regards,
Craig

You would need to use version 1.3.3

If I were you I would try to upgrade to Rails 3 because RSpec 2 is
really,
really nice. Upgrading to Rails 3 is easy and not bad at all unless you
have
some non-upgradable gems, like searchlogic for example, then it might be
a
pain.

If you’re using rspec-rails-1.3.3, this line ^^ should raise an error
since the RSpec constant wasn’t introduced until rspec-2.0.

I’m guessing that the rails app is not correctly configured to use
rspec-rails-1.3.3.

What’s in config/environment.rb? Are you using bundler? If so, what’s in
Gemfile?

Remove this line if you’re not using ActiveRecord or ActiveRecord

Do not worry about it… I just moved to Rails 3.0.4, because I was
facing some other issues with my Rails 2.3.8 application.

I am using the following gems now, but I still get an error saying this:

Failure/Error: non_uniq_agg.should have(1).error_on(:name)
NoMethodError:
undefined method `error_on’ for #Aggregate:0x53ef1aa4

There are failures for errors_on as well, which leads me to think that I
am not requiring the proper stuff still.
