UPGRADE

Path: UPGRADE
Last Update: Sat Jun 02 18:36:09 CDT 2007

Upgrading existing code to RSpec-0.9

General (see below for Spec::Rails specifics)

New Syntax for should and should_not

  • Use translator (should get 90% of your code)
  • Manually fix "parenthesis" warnings

Change before_context_eval to before_eval

before_context_eval is an un-published hook used by Spec::Rails to create specialized behaviour contexts. Most of you don‘t need to change this, but for those who have exploited it, you‘ll need to change it to before_eval.

Spec::Rails

spec_helper.rb

We‘ve added a new way to configure Spec::Runner to do things like use_transactional_fixtures and use_instantiated_fixtures. You‘ll need to update spec/spec_helper.rb accordingly. You can either just re-generate it:

  script/generate rspec

Or modify spec_helper.rb based on the template, which can be found at:

  vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails/generators/rspec/templates/spec_helper.rb
