[Rails] Rails 3 + Rspec 2 + Remarkable

[Ho-Sheng Hsiao]

Hi guys,

I'm working on getting Remarkable working with Rails 3 / Rspec 2. I
don't know how many users care about it, but I figured I'd give users
a chance to tell me. The way it looks now, it won't be backwards
compatible (primarily because Rspec2 has a lot of refactoring,
starting from changing the namespace from Spec to Rspec).

If you need Remarkable for your project, now is the time to speak up.

Cool, glad I'm not out in the cold on this one ;-)

I've been making updates on this thread as I go along with the port:

When I get a preview release out, I would definitely appreciate it if
you test it in your project.

Thanks all. Can you tell me which of the following are more important
for your project:

- Remarkable (core)
- Remarkable ActiveRecord
- Remarkable Datamapper
- Remarkable Rails

For my own project, it will be Core and AR. And while I like DM, I'm
less likely to use it anytime soon before I use Remarkable-Rails.

The other thing is that there are other projects such as remarkable-
paperclip that will break with the new port. Do any of you guys use
this?

[cjharrelson]

I care most about:

Remarkable ActiveRecord
Remarkable Rails

Do you have anything working yet? I bundled your fork and could not
get it working this past weekend. Any status info would be
appreciated.

Also, if you need some help please let me know. I am willing to
contribute. I am midas on Github.

Thanks,

Jason

I'm still banging my head against Remarkable AR. Here's the current problem:

Rspec2 dynamically generated nested classes under example groups. So
for example, when I do

describe "foo" do
end

That block actually goes under Rspec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested_1

Remarkable::AR overrides describe, however, that's not actually
getting called or inherited.

Well, let's talk over at
http://groups.google.com/group/remarkable-core/browse_thread/thread/393f086488b1317b
... I write a note on what I've done and the current issues as I push
up code to the rspec2 branch. Until I get the specs passing, I won't
try to run it bundled, so there's lots of things under flux.

Another quick poll

How many folks care about these features:

describe Post do
subject_attributes { valid_attributes }
def valid_attributes
{ :name => "my post" }
end

it "should give me a post with valid attributes" do
# ...
end

describe :name => "blah" do
it "should give me a shorthand for :name => blah" do
# ...
end
end

For some reason, describe is not being properly overridden. But more
importantly, the hash syntax conflicts with the built-in metadata
functionality in Rspec 2

I never knew this functionality existed in Remarkable 3.3, and
frankly, I don't really use it.

subject_attribute {} is neat but you can just as easily use subject
{ Post.new(:attributes ... ) }

If there are enough people that care about this, I may give it another
crack. At this point though, I'm culling it from the feature set and
push for a bundle-able-prerelease.

+1 from me I have loads of pending specs for validations and
associations!

AR and Rails are the most important ones imo.

Released gems:

remarkable
remarkable_activemodel
remarkable_activerecord

How to use it in your Rails 3 project:
http://ruby-lambda.blogspot.com/2010/04/remarkable-400alpha1.html

Issue tracker: http://github.com/remarkable/remarkable/issues

I figure it is better to release some core features early and let
people kick the tires.

Remarkable::Rails will need some rethinking, and I'll want to talk to
people who actually use it. My needs are for testing a web-service
with most of the resource controllers dynamically generated from
inherited_resources, so I won't have an active project in which I test
any UIs. In particular, please upvote or comment on this issue:
http://github.com/remarkable/remarkable/issues#issue/9

[Ho-Sheng Hsiao]

For those keeping track, I have Remarkable 4.0.0.alpha2 released:

remarkable
remarkable_activemodel
remarkable_activerecord

How to use the simplified loading: http://ruby-lambda.blogspot.com/2010/05/remarkable-400alpha2.html
