I have posted this in other places but no response. Trying to get Shoulda working inside Test/Unit in Rails 3.0.3 (1.9.2). When I try to run the test (copied below), I get this error:
test/unit/practice_member_test.rb:4:in <class:PracticeMemberTest>': undefined methodcontext' for PracticeMemberTest:Class (NoMethodError)
Note that I have another Rails 3 project with Rspec including Shoulda also and it works fine via Rspec. In the failing project I tried placing "require 'shoulda'" in test helper to no avail, but when I run the debugger and type Shoulda, the object is found, so the library is being loaded.
Here is my test:
require 'test_helper'
class PracticeMemberTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
context "practice member" do
should "get global practice member count not including Demo Practice" do
assert_equal PracticeMember.practice_members_global_count, 0
practice = Factory.create(:practice_one)
practice_member = Factory.create(:practice_member)
practice_member.practice_id = practice.id
practice_member.save
practice_member = Factory.create(:practice_member)
practice_member.practice_id = practice.id
practice_member.save
assert_equal PracticeMember.practice_members_global_count, 2
end
end
end
Must be something I am overlooking as I have not seen anyone with this same issue.
Did you try adding the following to your config/environment.rb file:
Rails::Initializer.run do |config|
config.gem "shoulda", :lib => "shoulda"
end
Then
$ rake gems:install
$ rake gems:unpack
As suggested in the documentation?

When I want to run all model tests we do
rails test:models
If I similarly would like to run tests that sits in a folder called service_objects (in the test folder) - what would be the required steps?
With inspiration from multiple, sources I have tried the following in lib/tasks:
namespace :test do
Rails::TestTask.new(classes: 'test:prepare') do |t|
t.pattern = 'test/service_objects/**/*_test.rb'
end
end
But running rails test:service_objects returns this error message:
NameError: uninitialized constant Rails::TestTask
Replace Rails::TestTask with Rails::TestUnit::Runner as shown in the file below, with the require path indicated at the top.
Then to run ONLY the tests in test/focused directory, you can call
rails test:focused
and to run ALL tests in the test directory EXCEPT those in test/long_running, you can call
rails test:without_long_running
Tested with Rails 5.1.6
The new Rails 5 test runner does have some really helpful features, but sometimes you still need a little more control.
# lib/tasks/test_tasks.rake
require "rails/test_unit/runner"
namespace :test do
task :focused => "test:prepare" do
$: << "test"
test_files = FileList['test/focused/*_test.rb']
Rails::TestUnit::Runner.run(test_files)
end
task :without_long_running_tests => "test:prepare" do
$: << "test"
test_files = FileList['test/**/*_test.rb'].exclude('test/long_running/**/*_test.rb')
Rails::TestUnit::Runner.run(test_files)
end
end

I am trying to use the Spree 2.3 route helpers in Rspec 3.0. In the main app, I can access them by prefixing spree., like so:
spree.admin_login_path => 'spree/admin/user_sessions#new'
However I can't seem to access them in Rspec.
#rspec error
undefined local variable or method `spree_admin_login_path'
I've found reference to including the helpers in the rails_helper file, but this throws an error
# app/spec/rails_helper.rb
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.include Spree::Core::UrlHelpers
end
# configuring the above results in the following
app/spec/rails_helper.rb:21:in `block in <top (required)>': uninitialized constant Spree (NameError)
How do I access the spree routes given in $ rake routes in my tests?
After digging through the Spree code I was able to put together this setup for my rails_helper file that lets me use spree routes such as spree.admin_login_path in my spec files:
# app/spec/rails_helper.rb
require 'spree/testing_support/url_helpers'
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.include Spree::TestingSupport::UrlHelpers
end
I'm sure there's a smoother way to include all of Spree's test helpers, and I'd love to hear about it from someone who knows.
I found a blog post about Testing Factories First (by BigBinary - which happens to be a Minitest/spec version of Thoughtbot's RSpec original).
Could you please show me the equivalent without the spec framework - just with Minitest (Rails)?
The Thoughtbot approach (RSpec)
spec/factories_spec.rb
FactoryGirl.factories.map(&:name).each do |factory_name|
describe "The #{factory_name} factory" do
it 'is valid' do
build(factory_name).should be_valid
end
end
end
Rakefile
if defined?(RSpec)
desc 'Run factory specs.'
RSpec::Core::RakeTask.new(:factory_specs) do |t|
t.pattern = './spec/factories_spec.rb'
end
end
task spec: :factory_specs
The BigBinary approach (Minitest, spec)
spec/factories_spec.rb
require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/spec_helper')
describe FactoryGirl do
EXCEPTIONS = %w(base_address base_batch bad_shipping_address)
FactoryGirl.factories.each do |factory|
next if EXCEPTIONS.include?(factory.name.to_s)
describe "The #{factory.name} factory" do
it 'is valid' do
instance = build(factory.name)
instance.must_be :valid?
end
end
end
end
lib/tasks/factory.rake
desc 'Run factory specs.'
Rake::TestTask.new(:factory_specs) do |t|
t.pattern = './spec/factories_spec.rb'
end
task test: :factory_specs
What is the Minitest equivalent (without spec)?
The approach I am presenting below is slightly different than the two original solutions - in the sense that my approach creates only one test, within which I cycle through the factories and run an assertion against each. I was not able to create a solution that mimics the original solutions any closer - which is (I believe) a separate test method for each factory. If someone could show such an implementation, that would be cool.
test/aaa_factories_tests/factories_test.rb
require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../test_helper.rb')
class FactoriesTest < Minitest::Unit::TestCase
puts "\n*** Factories Test ***\n\n"
EXCEPTIONS = %w(name_of_a_factory_to_skip another_one_to_skip)
def test_factories
FactoryGirl.factories.each do |factory|
next if EXCEPTIONS.include?(factory.name.to_s)
instance = FactoryGirl.build(factory.name)
assert instance.valid?, "invalid factory: #{factory.name}, error messages: #{instance.errors.messages.inspect}"
instance = factory = nil
end
end
end
Thanks to the way Minitest works out of the box -- add any directories under test/ and minitest-rails will automatically create the associated rake task for it. So let's say you add a test/api/ directory, rake minitest:api will automagically be available. -- I see the task when I run bundle exec rake -T with no other configurations:
rake minitest:aaa_factories_tests # Runs tests under test/aaa_factories_tests
And I am able to run this task successfully:
-bash> bundle exec rake minitest:aaa_factories_tests
*** Factories Test ***
Run options: --seed 19208
# Running tests:
.
Finished tests in 0.312244s, 3.2026 tests/s, 9.6079 assertions/s.
1 tests, 3 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors, 0 skips
Despite the ugliness of prepending the directory with aaa, I am able to have the factories tested first with:
bundle exec rake minitest:all
The reason for the aaa prepend solution is MiniTest does a Dir glob and on Mac OS X (and other Unix variants) the results are sorted alphabetically (though the results differ across different platforms).
As well, I prepended the default_tasks array with aaa_factories_tests to have the factories tested first in the default Minitest task (i.e. when running bundle exec rake minitest).
lib/tasks/factories_first.rake
MiniTest::Rails::Testing.default_tasks.unshift('aaa_factories_tests') if Rails.env =~ /^(development|test)\z/
Note that the above condition avoids erroneously referencing Minitest in environments where it is unavailable (I have confined minitest-rails to :test and :development groups in Gemfile). Without this if-condition, pushing to Heroku (for example to staging or production) will result in uninitialized constant MiniTest.
Of course I am also able to run the factories test directly:
bundle exec ruby -I test test/aaa_factories_tests/factories_test.rb
Here is a solution for MiniTest without the spec framework:
test/factories_test.rb
require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/test_helper')
class FactoriesTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase
EXCEPTIONS = %w(griddler_email)
FactoryBot.factories.map(&:name).each do |factory_name|
next if factory_name.to_s.in?(EXCEPTIONS)
context "The #{factory_name} factory" do
should 'be valid' do
factory = build(factory_name)
assert_equal true, factory.valid?, factory.errors.full_messages
end
end
end
end
lib/tasks/factory.rake
namespace :test do
desc 'Test factories'
Rake::TestTask.new(:factories) do |t|
t.pattern = './test/factories_test.rb'
end
end
task minitest: 'test:factories'
The most important thing is to use taks minitest instead of task test if you want the factories tests to be run before other tests.
When I visit my sign in page in a browser everything works fine.
When I visit my sign in page in an rspec integration/request test, I get the following error:
ActionView::Template::Error:
undefined method `title' for #<#<Class:0x00000007af9180>:0x00000007af32a8>
The title method is used by the view and defined in ApplicationHelper which devise seems to find when using the browser. However, during rspec integration tests, devise is unable to find the helper method.
Is there anything I should be stubbing? It seems wrong to be stubbing in integration tests. Any other ideas?
(This question is not about how to include devise helpers in integration tests. I'm manually filling in the sign in forms to authenticate).
Looks like this issue. (in some cases related to ActiveAdmin https://github.com/gregbell/active_admin/wiki/Use-spork)
Here I found a hack that works for me (REE 1.8.7, Rails 3.1, Capybara, Devise, active_admin).
However, this is not likely to be merged, so I forked spork-rails to here with that patch applied. And as you probably know I can point my Gemfile to that repo:
gem 'spork-rails', :git => "git://github.com/chopmo/spork-rails.git"
Not optimal but it gets the job done for now.
I had a similar problem using Cucumber when I installed devise:
undefined local variable or method `flash_block' for #<#<Class:0x007ffd0a28dae8>:0x007ffd0b2f6d58> (ActionView::Template::Error)
I solved it by including the module in env.rb
Spork.prefork do
include FlashBlockHelper
I hope this helps.
Inside /spec/support create devise.rb with this:
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.include Devise::TestHelpers, :type => :controller
end
Make sure your spec_helper.rb includes:
Dir[Rails.root.join("spec/support/**/*.rb")].each {|f| require f}
and that your specs have:
require 'spec_helper'
I am working on writing tests for a rails 2.3.4 application and I am running into the following error when I try to run the tests
1) Failure:
default_test(ReportTest) [rake (0.8.7) lib/rake/rake_test_loader.rb:5]:
No tests were specified.
This is what the only test file looks like:
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../test_helper'
class UserTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase
include Authlogic::TestCase
setup :activate_authlogic
fixtures :users
def setup
#user = users(:one)
end
def test_user_is_valid
assert #user.valid?
end
end
One issue I could forsee being a problem is that I have multiple versions of rails installed and rake as well
rails (3.0.0, 2.3.8, 2.3.5, 2.3.4, 1.2.6)
rake (0.8.7, 0.8.3)
Anyone know what's going on?
Somehow the search for tests that rake test does has turned up a file named _test.rb which doesn't have a test in it. It will look through all the files under the test/units /functionals and /integration directories to try and locate tests.
I also once had the strange behaviour that a rails application in a sub directory of another rails application was finding more tests than it should have done as it was picking up tests from the 'parent' application. Might be worth checking that too.
