Webrat with RSpec, no Cucumber
For the impatient: install webrat as from installation instructions and then add this section to your spec_helper.rb that lets you create webrat specs in spec/integration folder:
defined_description.instance_eval do self end end super(defined_description) end Spec::Example::ExampleGroupFactory.register(:integration, self) end endThere is plenty of examples of usage of Webrat alone inside test/integration but very few using RSpec. “No big deal” I thought, it must be just as simple as from test/integration. Why I should skip Cucumber? I hope to use Cucumber in the next projects, but I don’t have a real customer for the internal app I’m writing right now and it doesn’t make a lot sense to be so english-like for requirements. So after installing RSpec[Rails] 1.2.4 on Rails 2.3.2 and scaffolded some examples with “./script/generate rspec_scaffold post title:string body:text published:boolean” I created the following webrat-enabled view spec in spec/views/verify_posts_webrat_spec.rb:
visit posts_url assert_contain "Listing posts" end endand with the following spec_helper setup:
1 ||= 'test' 2 3 "/../config/environment" unless defined?(RAILS_ROOT) 4 5 6 7 Webrat.configure do |config| 8 config.mode = :rails 9 end 10 11 Spec::Runner.configure do |config| 12 config.use_transactional_fixtures = true 13 config.use_instantiated_fixtures = false 14 config.fixture_path = RAILS_ROOT + '/spec/fixtures/' 15 include Webrat::Methods 16 end 17which gives a sad “undefined method `https!’ for #Spec::Rails::Example::ViewExampleGroup::Subclass_1:0x237e5f4”. Notice line 7-9 and 15 of the spec_helper, those are the correct settings I think. I couldn’t find any reason why this shouldn’t work and I try to move the spec into the controllers or models folders just to be sure. But nothing. I gave up but the following day I thought that if I had to make a choice about the position of webrat based specs that would be in the spec/integration folder. So I decided to create a new RSpec example group so that whatever happens to be in the integration folder is associated with a specfic class that I can control. So I added the following to spec_helper:
1 ||= 'test' 2 3 "/../config/environment" unless defined?(RAILS_ROOT) 4 5 6 7 Webrat.configure do |config| 8 config.mode = :rails 9 end 10 11 Spec::Runner.configure do |config| 12 config.use_transactional_fixtures = true 13 config.use_instantiated_fixtures = false 14 config.fixture_path = RAILS_ROOT + '/spec/fixtures/' 15 end 16 17 18 19 20 21 defined_description.instance_eval do 22 23 self 24 end 25 end 26 27 super(defined_description) 28 end 29 30 Spec::Example::ExampleGroupFactory.register(:integration, self) 31 end 32 endand moved verify_posts_webrat_spec.rb to spec/integration et voila’, green bars. A few things to notice:
- Line 17: inheriting from ActionController::IntegrationTest brings in all the Rails testing integration goodness
- Line 20-28: this constructor definition is the trick necessary to intercept the instance of ExampleProxy and inject a “to_s” that returns the object itself. The trick is necessary because in ActionController::IntegrationTest the initializer is calling to_s on the incoming parameter expecting always a symbol (but we are passing an ExampleProxy instead)
If you try this solution, I’m pretty sure it won’t work for your combination of Rails/RSpec/Webrat/Environment version. Add a comment below so I can fix and update this post. Happy coding.

あとこの言語は Funge 98 というのが最新の仕様らしいが、そっちはさらに狂気の度合いが加速しており真剣に頭を抱えている。ソースコードが二次元の Befunge だけでなく、ソースコードが一次元になった Unifunge とソースコードが三次元空間内に存在し、当然読み取りの向きも三軸という Trefunge を仕様として定義しているのだからたまらない。ってかどうやって三次元のソースコードとか書くんだ。

あとになって、この日食べたトウモロコシの量を計算する別の方法も見つけた。バークレー大学の生物学者トッド・ドーソンに、マクドナルドの商品を質量分析計にかけて、商品中の炭素のうちトウモロコシ由来のものはどれぐらいか、計算してもらったのだ。
（中略）
トップが清涼飲料だったのは、その原料の大部分が高果糖コーンシロップだということを考えれば不思議はないが、この日食べたほかのメニューもほぼすべて、トウモロコシの絞める割合が高かった。トウモロコシ度の高いものから並べると、測定結果は、清涼飲料（一〇〇％トウモロコシ）、シェイク（七八％）、ドレッシング（六五％）、マックナゲット（五六％）、チーズバーガー（五二％）、フライドポテト（二三％）となる。結局、雑食動物の目には見事な多様性があるように映った食事は、質量分析計の目を通してみると、もっと特化した動物の食事なのだ。これが工業食動物が行き着いた姿だ。ユーカリしか食べないコアラのように、トウモロコシしか食べない動物。
