I'm trying to use Rspec 1.3.1 for my rails application which is running on 2.3.8. I am able to 'stub' the models with stub_model method. But when I call mock_model, things go wrong and this is the stack trace I get

Your call to mock_model is at the top level of your describe block which doesn't make sense
You can only do that inside a before(:each), an example (ie in the block passed to it) and places like that

I am just getting started on rspec, and I may have included to much in the first go. I followed this guide but cant seem to get it all to come together.
I have a Model called Photo, so I have created a Factory girl for that:
# spec/factories/photo.rb
FactoryGirl.define do
factory :photo do
date_taken { Faker::Date.backward(14) }
end
end
I use this in a test:
#spec/models/photo_spec.rb
require 'rails_helper'
RSpec.describe Photo, type: :model do
it "has a valid factory" do
expect(photo).to be_valid
end
end
But I get the following, indicating that the photo factory is not loaded...
rspec spec/models/photo_spec.rb

Down in the comments section on the linked guide, there's a comment by Rhys Davis on 11 Jan 2016
Although in the Model Specs section I had to add the following to
rails_helper.rb: config.include FactoryGirl::Syntax::Methods
then also add the following to my contact_spec.rb: contact =
build(:contact)
and then a reply by Arkadiusz Zdanowski on 5 Sep
Yes, without those lines I got the following error:
Failures:
1) Contact has a valid factory
Failure/Error: expect(contact).to be_valid
NameError:
undefined local variable or method `contact' for #
Which is the same error you're getting now, so adding those 2 lines should probably fix the issue for you.
I have set up Rspec with a rails4 app however the tests are returning:
Failure/Error: user = Factory(:user)
NoMethodError:
undefined method `Factory' for #<RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested_4::Nested_1:0x007fa08c0d8a98>
Seems like I'm including FactoryGirl incorrectly. I've tried a couple of variations but I can't get it to work.

my spec:
require 'spec_helper'
describe "Create Event" do
describe "Log in and create an event" do
it "Allows creation of individual events" do
user = Factory(:user)

end
end
end
and in /spec/factories/users.rb
FactoryGirl.define do
factory :user do |f|
f.email "provider#example.com"
f.password "password"
end
end
How can i get going with factory girl?
Given that you have included:
config.include FactoryGirl::Syntax::Methods
In your RSpec configure block, I'm guessing that the syntax you're looking for is:
user = create(:user)
or:
user = build(:user)
To create a user using FactoryGirl:
user = FactoryGirl.create(:user)
This will use everything you defined in the factory to create the user. You can also override any value, or specify additional values at the same time. For example:
user = FactoryGirl.create(:user, username: 'username', email: 'different-email#example.com)
Alternatively you can use FactoryGirl.build(:user, ...) where you want to make use of the factory to build an instance but not actually save it to the database.
I have a simple rails app which Im trying to introduce elementary tests in. Im following this url.
My application is structured as follows:
Im trying to test the single page: called Main Page.
In spec/features/main_pages_spec.rb I have the following code:
require 'spec_helper'
feature "soadevise" do
feature "Main Page" do
scenario "should have the content 'Main Page' "
visit '/main_page/home'
expect(page).to have_content('Main Page')
end
end
My spec/spec_helper.rb looks like this:
# This file is copied to spec/ when you run 'rails generate rspec:install'
ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'
require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)
require 'rspec/rails'
require 'rspec/autorun'
# 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 }
# Checks for pending migrations before tests are run.
# If you are not using ActiveRecord, you can remove this line.

# If you prefer to use mocha, flexmock or RR, uncomment the appropriate line:

# 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

# --seed 1234
config.order = "random"
end
When I run this command in the terminal:
MRMIOMP0903:soadevise $ bundle exec rspec spec/features/main_pages_spec.rb
I get the following error:
/Users/am/Desktop/x/xx/rails_projects/mysql_apps/soadevise/

gem "rspec-rails", "~> 2.14.1"
end
group :test do
gem "selenium-webdriver"
gem "capybara"
end
I refered to this link as well.
Can someone suggest what Im doing wrong?
You're calling feature twice. It should look like this:
require 'spec_helper'
feature "soadevise Main Page" do
scenario "should have the content 'Main Page'" do
visit '/main_page/home'
expect(page).to have_content('Main Page')
end
end
I'm having a strange issue where in one of my model specs, when validating lengths for certain fields, my tests don't pass because of this error. I have three other models where the specs are not having any failure issue, and the validation tests are written essentially exactly the same.
Troubleshooted a bit, changed things (e.g. spec_helper.rb to include config.include Capybara::DSL), but still having the same issue.
Here are my tests in questions_spec.rb:
it "is not valid when title is too long" do
question = FactoryGirl.create(:question)
before {question.title = "a" * 101 }
it { should_not be_valid }
end
it "is not valid when brief is too long" do
question = FactoryGirl.build(:question)
before { question.brief = "a" * 501 }
question.should_not be_valid
end
My failures:
Failures:
1) Question is not valid when title is too long
Failure/Error: before {question.title = "a" * 101 }
NoMethodError:
undefined method `before' for #<RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested_2:0x007fb89df51c90>
# ./spec/models/question_spec.rb:36:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'
2) Question is not valid when brief is too long
Failure/Error: before { question.brief = "a" * 501 }
NoMethodError:

require 'rspec/autorun'
require 'capybara/rspec'

end
Edit: This is my idea_spec.rb test pair that works with the same format.
describe "when title is too long" do
idea = FactoryGirl.create(:idea)
before {idea.title = "a" * 101 }
it { should_not be_valid }
end
describe "when brief is too long" do
idea = FactoryGirl.create(:idea)
before { idea.brief = "a" * 501 }
it { should_not be_valid }
end
The before block is supposed to run before all tests that follow, so it has to go outside of the it blocks. If the code is specific to one scenario, just remove the before since it's not really doing anything.
it "is not valid when title is too long" do
question = FactoryGirl.create(:question)
question.title = "a" * 101
question.should_not be_valid
end
I have one spec:
require 'spec_helper'
# hmm... I need to include it here because if I include it inside describe block `method_missing` exception raises.
include Shoulda::ActionController::Matchers
describe CategoriesController do
include Devise::TestHelpers
render_views
context "new should render template :new" do
setup do
sign_in :user
get :new
end
should render_template(:new)
end
end
when I run rake spec I see this(but if i change context to it and move setup block contents to it block all works fine):

I am using rails 3. rspec/shoulda/factory_girl are included to the application by this code in Gemfile:
group :test, :development do
gem 'autotest'
gem 'factory_girl'
gem "shoulda"
gem "rspec-rails", ">= 2.0.0.beta.20"

I'm pretty sure that error is because you haven't wrapped your shoulda assertion inside an it block like so:
it { should render_template(:new) }
This is required when using Shoulda with RSpec.
should render_template(:new) on it's own will work with Test::Unit.
If I'm not mistaken, I've used Shoulda and I think the syntax is
should_render_template(:new)
and not
should render_template(:new)
which explains the 0 tests,0 assertions...
