August 2012 updates for Everyday Rails Testing with RSpec
August 03, 2012
For anyone who either doesn’t subscribe to updates from Leanpub, or is still on the fence about buying my book about learning Rails testing through RSpec, I just wanted to pass along that I pushed an update this evening with the following updates:
- Added the change log back to the book.
- Replaced usage of
==toeqthroughout the book to mirror best practice in RSpec expectations. - Added clarification that you need to re-clone your development database to test every time you make a database change (chapter 3).
- Added a note on the great factory debate of 2012 (chapter 3).
- Added a section about the new RSpec
expect()syntax (chapter 3). - Fixed incomplete specs for the #edit method (chapter 5).
- Added an example of testing a non-CRUD method in a controller (chapter 5).
- Added tips on testing non-HTML output (chapter 5).
- Fixed a typo in the
:messagefactory (chapter 5). - Fixed typo in spelling of transactions (chapter 8).
- Added a simple technique for testing Rake tasks (chapter 10).
In addition, Leanpub is now accepting credit card transactions–so those of you who in the past couldn’t use PayPal can now buy a copy. Still only nine American bucks.
