I wondered if anyone had any success with using any of the facorty testing tools out there with Sinatra, Sequel and RSpec?
You can take a look at Rstat.us on Github. We're using Factory Girl with Sinatra. Although we are using MiniTest instead of RSpec. Maybe you can take something away from looking at it.
You mean like machinist or factory girl?
Yes, but what are you after specifically? Not really any different to setting up data using fixtures or using helpers in your code in practice.

I have a rack based gem, where the user defines routes, and they are then processed by the gem. I an trying to figure out how to test this setup. Testing methods directly impacted by the creation of routes doesn't work, because they are obviously not defined yet, because no app has been created. Is there a solution to this? I am currently using RSpec, and I would really like it if there is an RSpec solution to this.
I'm currently converting a whole bunch of acceptance tests from php into ruby and many of the tests use specific scenarios to test certain conditions. We use #dataProvider a lot and my google foo can't find any information if this functionality exists in the test-unit gem.
As a work around I'm manually calling a supporting method to give me the required values to test against and putting the test scenarios in var.each{} loops. It's not elegant but it works. I'd still prefer to use the dataProvider route if it's available though.
Your Google foo is probably very good, however in Ruby something similar is called a fixture.

I'm using Ruby and the Savon gem to interact with SOAP/WS and would like to auto-generate the client request methods from the WSDL in Ruby.
Before I do this, I'd like to know if there's any other Ruby/SOAP library that does this?
Edit: Please note, I already know this isn't available in Savon out the box, in fact my intention is to add in the feature, I'm in the process checking if this exists somewhere else written in Ruby.
Since it's only few days since you asked this question, and I've run into same problem I've decided to create small script to do that.
Download - save as objects.rb for example and run with _bunde exec objects.rb path_to.wsdl_

Let me know if it works ^^
Take a look at Savon's spec, it has pretty rich testing environment
I think ads_common by Google is relevant to you.

rake generate can create the client libraries automatically from WSDL.
It is specialized for Google Ads, but this notion would be helpful to create a versatile client library automatically from WSDL in Ruby.
I want to integrate chargify to my rails app. I have user object and I want the user to be able to subscribe for one month and update the boolean column on user object. I prefer to use the API not hosted pages. How can I do that?
Is there any example for chargify on ruby on rails for handling subscriptions but with details about mvc for newbies?
Based on this thread and the Googles it looks like there is not a whole lot out there.
You could try looking at the Rails 2 example here and converting it or use the gem here (gem "chargify", "~> 0.3.0").
I know none of this is aimed at newbies but the info seems to sparse.
This might get you going. It seems that Chartify itself is written in Rails, and therfore their API is ruby code, which you can use...
I'm sick of writing out the same controller specs each time I make a new controller. I know I can use the scaffold generator, but there are enough little things I have to change that it usually doesn't save me much time.
Are there any projects/tools out there that provide some sort of base set of specs and/or a DSL to make this easier?
I've never found that any two REST controllers I wanted to write had similar enough interfaces that the tests were at all similar (and generally, I recommend Cucumber, not controller specs).
Something like inherited_resources or Rails 3's respond_with is very useful for writing the controllers, but I'm not sure about the tests.
I use the decent_exposure gem.
