1. First question
Sorry if I am stating the obvious here, but my comments are interleaved. Also, consider joining the rspec Google Group.
1. First question ----------------------------------------
I am getting this error when running my tests: ... b spec/views/projects/index.rhtml_spec.rb spec/views/projects/ new.rhtml_spec.rb /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:266:in `load_missing_constant': uninitialized constant ProjectsHelper (NameError)
Is the name ProjectHelper or ProjectsHelper?
The first time I saw this I figured I would just get everything working by commenting out the +++ include ProjectHelper +++
<snip>
2. Next question. ----------------------------------------
When I run the tests I get the following error for one of the auto- created tests, and cannot figure out why it is throwing it.
describe "/projects/new.rhtml" do before do @project = mock_model(Project) @project.stub!(:new_record?).and_return(true)
@project.stub!(:name).and_return('bob dylan')
assigns[:project] = @project end
it "should render new form" do render "/projects/new.rhtml" # THIS IS THE LINE THE ERROR IS BEING THROWN ON response.should have_tag("form[action=?][method=post]", projects_path) do end end end
Here is the error message +++++++ ActionView::TemplateError in '/projects/new.rhtml should render new form' Mock 'Project_1000' received unexpected message :name with (no args) On line #3 of app/views/projects/_form.rhtml
1: <p> 2: <label for="project_name">Name:</label> 3: <%= f.text_field :name %> 4: </p> 5: 6: <p> +++++++
Here is a snippet from the _form.rhtml file <p> <label for="project_name">Name:</label> <%= f.text_field :name %> </p>
<p> <label for="project_description">Description:</label> <%= f.text_area :description %> </p>
+++++++++++
After seeing this error I thought I would set the name parameter in the mock object. After doing so the test failed again, but because the description was not set.
3. Yet another question ----------------------------------------
Is there some crazy bugs with the setup scripts?
I have found for the second time that the required files within the script/ folder, as well as the spec_helper.rb and spec_opts, are never created. Luckily for me I had one or two test projects that used on of the older versions of rSpec so I was able to copy them over.
I can't see something like this not being fixed, so is it just me?
script/generate rspec
4. And finally ---------------------------------------- - I created a simple Person model with rspec_model and a person controller with rspec_controller. - The person model was created with one field: name:string - There is no additional code within the person model class.
I then run the tests expecting everything to pass but I get one error thrown saying that the person model is invalid.
Are you sure your test database is set up correctly?
There is another script that I have to run? 
(Elevator music...) I
ran it and that answers the file missing question.
** For the Person validation issues, it seems the problem was that I had my tests running from a sqlite3 database with the database set pass.
As for the first problem listed, I typed the project controller wrong when posting as it should be ProjectsController, but I do have the correct version of it within the code.

Does anyone know why I am having these class issues?
