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):
localhost:gallery rtest$ rake spec

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"
end
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...

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...

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 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'

# --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/

#For testing
group :development, :test do
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

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

Your controller specs should be in the spec/controllers/ folder. However, you may want for some reason to have some other files that run controller specs (for example, I'm testing markup validation in a separate test file).
You can do this :
describe GamesController, "creating a new game", :type => :controller do
And this should do the trick !
You should place your controller specs inside a spec/controllers directory. RSpec is including these methods based on this, AFAIK.
In my case my test was already in spec/controllers/. I needed to add config.infer_spec_type_from_file_location! inside the RSpec.configure do |config| loop in spec_helper.rb. I had updated rspec from 2.x to 3.x without realizing it, and that config is needed for controller tests from 3.x.
If you test the views, RSpec have the spec/requests directory for that, it will render views by default. (See the doc)
this problem may be caused by your Gem rspec-rails version. downgrade it back to 2.x solved my problem:
# edit your Gemfile
gem "rspec-rails", "2.14.2"

If I delete my pages_controller_spec file the errors go away. But I have zero specs to run.
The error returns when I have something even as simple as this:
require 'spec_helper'
describe PagesController do
it "should do something..."
end
Also, if I add any tests no matter where I get the same error.
Any clues on other things I can try?
Why are you running rspec spec? The typical thing to run is rake spec.
Try bundle exec rspec spec or bundle exec rake spec.
If that doesn't work, try to see if something is wrong with the rest of your environment -- try bundle exec rails console and bundle exec rails server
Another thing to check, is there anything odd in .rspec in your project file, or ~/.rspec?
Found this thread while debugging the same symptoms. Here is another reason for the error: I had run
rspec --init
but had failed to run
rails generate rspec:install
Doing the latter fixed the problem.
In my case
gem "spork-rails", "~> 4.0.0"
was missing in ./Gemfile.
