I'm trying to use Webrat in a standalone script to automate some web browsing. How do I get the assert_contain method to work?
require 'rubygems'
require 'webrat'
include Webrat::Methods
include Webrat::Matchers
Webrat.configure do |config|
config.mode = :mechanize
end
visit 'http://gmail.com'
assert_contain 'Welcome to Gmail'
I get this error
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/webrat-0.6.0/lib/webrat/core/matchers/have_content.rb:57:in 'assert_contain': undefined method assert' for #<Object:0xb7e01958> (NoMethodError)
assert_contain and other assertions are methods of test/unit, try to require it and use webrat from inside a test method:
require 'test/unit'
class TC_MyTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
def test_fail
assert(false, 'Assertion was false.')
end
end
anyway i haven't tested it but I have a working spec_helper for rspec if this can interest you:
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../config/environment" unless defined?(RAILS_ROOT)
require 'spec/rails'
require "webrat"
Webrat.configure do |config|
config.mode = :rails
end
module Spec::Rails::Example
class IntegrationExampleGroup < ActionController::IntegrationTest
def initialize(defined_description, options={}, &implementation)
defined_description.instance_eval do
def to_s
self
end
end
super(defined_description)
end
Spec::Example::ExampleGroupFactory.register(:integration, self)
end
end
plus a spec:
# remember to require the spec helper
describe "Your Context" do
it "should GET /url" do
visit "/url"
body.should =~ /some text/
end
end
give it a try I found it very useful (more than cucumber and the other vegetables around) when there is no need to Text specs (features) instead of Code specs, that I like the most.
ps you need the rspec gem and it installs the 'spec' command to execute your specs.

I'm just experimenting a little with Cucumber and Capybara.
I'm writing a class that will perform some user admin for me.
I have the following class:
class UserAdmin
def initialize(data)
#data = data
end
def add_user
require 'rspec/expectations'
require 'capybara/cucumber'
require 'capybara/helpers'
#data.hashes.each do |user_details|
load_user_data(user_details)
fill_in('firstname', with: #first_name)
fill_in('surname', with: #last_name)
fill_in('username', with: #new_username)
fill_in('usernameConfirmation', with: #confirm_new_username)
click_button_add_user
end
end
When I try and create an instance of this class, I get `NoMethodError: undefined method fill_in' for #
I thought by requieing Capybara etc, I could use their methods in my class.
Clearly I'm wrong, could anyone point out where I've gone wrong please?
You should include Capybara::DSL:
require 'capybara/dsl'
class UserAdmin
include Capybara::DSL
Capybara.run_server = false
# ...
end
This is my first attempt with Sinatra. I built a simple classic app, set up RSpec for it, and got it working. Then, I tried to go modular, in a MVC fashion. Even though the app works in the browser, RSpec throws a NoMethodError. I've read Sinatra docs regarding RSpec, also searched a lot here in SO, but I can't find where the bug is. Any clue?
Thank you very much in advance.
Here are my relevant files:
config.ru
require 'sinatra/base'
Dir.glob('./{app/controllers}/*.rb') { |file| require file }
map('/') { run ApplicationController }
app.rb
require 'sinatra/base'
class ZerifApp < Sinatra::Base
# Only start the server if this file has been
# executed directly
run! if __FILE__ == $0
end
app/controllers/application_controller.rb
class ApplicationController < Sinatra::Base
set :views, File.expand_path('../../views', __FILE__)
set :public_dir, File.expand_path('../../../public', __FILE__)
get '/' do
erb :index
end
end
spec/spec_helper.rb
require 'rack/test'
# Also tried this
# Rack::Builder.parse_file(File.expand_path('../../config.ru', __FILE__))
require File.expand_path '../../app.rb', __FILE__
ENV['RACK_ENV'] = 'test'
module RSpecMixin
include Rack::Test::Methods
def app() described_class end
end
RSpec.configure { |c| c.include RSpecMixin }
spec/app_spec.rb
require File.expand_path '../spec_helper.rb', __FILE__
describe "My Sinatra Application" do
it "should allow accessing the home page" do
get '/'
expect(last_response).to be_ok
end
end
The error
My Sinatra Application should allow accessing the home page
Failure/Error: get '/'
NoMethodError:
undefined method `call' for nil:NilClass
# ./spec/app_spec.rb:5:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'
I'm guessing you're following this recipe, correct?
The described_class in this line:
def app() described_class end
is meant to be the class under test, in this case ZerifApp. Try it like so:
def app() ZerifApp end
EDIT
It turns out the above answer is not correct about what described_class does. I assumed it was a placeholder -- actually it is an RSpec method that returns the class of the implicit subject, that is to say, the thing being tested.
The recipe at the link is misleading because of the way it recommends writing the describe block:
describe "My Sinatra Application" do
This is valid RSpec, but it does not define the subject class. Executing described_class in an example for this block will return nil. To make it work, replace the describe block:
describe ZerifApp do
Now described_class will return the expected value (ZerifApp)

It has some source code to get some ideas from.
This has code example too. https://github.com/laser/sinatra-best-practices
I'm trying to implement some simple testing in rspec for a gem I'm writing. When I comment out describe BikeShare do down to end and run the file, the file loads in and runs successfully. I'm sure it's something tiny I'm missing.
My test file is really simple and looks like this:
require 'spec_helper'
describe BikeShare do
it "should run" do
# response = BikeShare.new
# response.should_be present
end
end
When run, I get the error uninitialized constant BikeShare (NameError) at line 3.
My bikeshare.rb file looks like this, fairly simple:
class BikeShare
def initialize
response = JSON.parse(open("http://bayareabikeshare.com/stations/json").read)
#response = response["stationBeanList"]
end
def get_last_station
#response.last["id"]
end
end
My Rakefile looks like this:
require 'rubygems'
require 'bundler'
Bundler.setup
Bundler::GemHelper.install_tasks
require 'rspec/core/rake_task'
RSpec::Core::RakeTask.new do |spec|
# spec.libs << 'lib' << 'spec'
spec.pattern = 'spec/*_spec.rb'
end
task :default => :spec
Your tests arent aware of BikeShare.
You need to require the file that defines your BikeShare class. I dont use rspec but I think that you normally set up your testing environment in spec_helper.rb.
I'm write some specs to cover my HTML helpers
describe Sinatra::Helpers::HTML do
describe 'tag' do
it 'should retun selfclosed tag' do
Helpers.tag(:br, {}, true).should == '<br />'
end
it 'should have valid attributes' do
Helpers.tag(:div, :class => 'test').should include("class='test'")
end
it 'should contain value returned from block' do
tag = Helpers.tag(:div) { 'Block value' }
tag.should include('Block value')
end
end
describe 'stylesheet_tag' do
it 'should return link tag' do
Helpers.stylesheet_tag('test').should include('link')
end
it 'should contain path to asset' do
end
end
end
When I run it on local machine all is good, everything pass. But after pushing to GitHub repo Travis fails and write that Object::Sinatra is uninitialized (link) and I haven't idea why.
spec_helper.rb looks:
ENV['RACK_ENV'] = "test"
require 'simplecov'
SimpleCov.start
require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..', 'boot')
require 'rspec'
require 'capybara/rspec'
require 'rack/test'
require 'factory_girl'
FactoryGirl.find_definitions
Capybara.app = Orodruin.rack
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.include Rack::Test::Methods
config.after(:each) do
MongoMapper.database.collections.each do |collection|
collection.remove unless collection.name.match(/^system\./)
end
end
end
class Helpers
extend(*Sinatra::Base.included_modules.map(&:to_s).grep(/Helpers/).map(&:constantize))
end
because http://travis-ci.org/#!/orodruin/orodruin/jobs/2248831/L73 isn't using bundle exec.
the "bundle exec rake" line above it didn't seem to do anything.
you will need to prefix that line with bundle exec.
I don't see that line in your code, but it could be hard coded in one of your gems or in the Travis service.
The real problem is that the sinatra gem isn't found when Travis is running the specs. This is because travis is using an RVM gemset, and you are probably using the "global" gemset.
The result is ruby -s rspec ... isn't being ran in the gem bundle environment and isn't loading Sinatra.
I've forgot to add require 'spec_helper' on top of my specfile.
I have a very simple Sinatra app which I'm having trouble testing.
Basically, every single request test returns a 404 when I know from testing in the browser that the request works fine. Any ideas as to what the problem might be?
test_helper.rb:
ENV["RACK_ENV"] = 'test'
$: << File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../lib')
require 'app'
Sinatra::Synchrony.patch_tests!
class Test::Unit::TestCase
include Rack::Test::Methods
end
app_test.rb
require 'test_helper'
class AppTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
def app
#app ||= Sinatra::Application
end
def test_it_says_hello
get "/"
assert_equal 200, last_response.status
end
end
app.rb
$: << 'config'
require "rubygems" require "bundler"
ENV["RACK_ENV"] ||= "development"
Bundler.require(:default, ENV["RACK_ENV"].to_sym)
require ENV["RACK_ENV"]
class App < Sinatra::Base register Sinatra::Synchrony
get '/' do
status 200
'hello, I\'m bat shit crazy and ready to rock'
end
end
Gemfile
source :rubygems
gem 'daemons'
gem 'sinatra'
gem 'sinatra-synchrony', :require => 'sinatra/synchrony'
gem 'resque'
gem 'thin'
group :test do
gem 'rack-test', :require => "rack/test"
gem 'test-unit', :require => "test/unit"
end
Why can I not get this normally very simple thing working?
I had quite the same problem with only HTTP-404 coming in return.
I solved it with giving another return in the "app" function.
class IndexClassTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
def app
#app = Foxydeal #appname NOT Sinatra::Application
end
...
Also
Sinatra::Synchrony.patch_tests!
seems to be obsolete.
Under your app_test.rb do this instead of what you have now:
def app
#app ||= App.new
end
This will work with your your class style like you had it in the beginning, no need to switch to the non-class/modular style.
It may seem logical, but are your routes configured correctly? If a route isn't correctly configured, it'll throw 404 errors left and right.
Figured it out.
app.rb
$: << 'config'
require "rubygems" require "bundler"
ENV["RACK_ENV"] ||= "development" Bundler.require(:default,
ENV["RACK_ENV"].to_sym) require ENV["RACK_ENV"]
class App < Sinatra::Base
register Sinatra::Synchrony
end
get '/' do
status 200
'hello, I\'m bat shit crazy and ready to rock'
end
You may simply do this:
class AppTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
def app
Sinatra::Application
end
