dm-rspec2 (RSpec 2 matchers for DataMapper)

by svs

based on the work of Potapov Sergey at https://github.com/greyblake/dm-rspec

A set of rspec matchers to test DataMapper models like you test ActiveRecord models with rspec-rails that work with and use RSpec 2 matcher DSL

Installation

gem install dm-rspec2

Usage

Add the following to your spec_helper:

require 'dm-rspec2'

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include(DataMapper::Matchers)
end

In your spec files you can use the following matchers to test appropriate DataMapper's validations:

• belong_to
• have_one
• have_many
• have_many_and_belong_to
• have_property(:property_name).of_type(DataMapper::Property::String)
• have(n).errors_on(:property)
• have_many(:association).trough(:another_association)
• validate_presence_of(:property)
• validate_uniqueness_of(:property)
• validate_format_of(:property).with(/regexp/)
• validate_inclusion_of(:property).within([1,2,3])

Examples

Assume you have the following data mapper models:

class Book
  include DataMapper::Resource
  property :id, Serial
  property :name, String
  belongs_to :author
  has n, :genres, :through => Resource
  validates_presence_of :name
end

class Author
  include DataMapper::Resource
  property :id, Serial
  has n, :books
end

class Genre
  include DataMapper::Resource
  property :id, Serial
  property :name, String
  has n, :books, :through => Resource
end

Your specs can contain the following:

specify {Book.should have_property :name}
specify {Book.should belong_to :author}
specify {Author.should have_many :books}
specify {Genre.should  have_many_and_belong_to :books}
specify {Book.should  have_many_and_belong_to :genres}

specify {Book.should validate_presence_of :name}

it 'has errors' do
  book = Book.new(:name => 'fails on two validations')
  book.valid?
  book.should have(2).errors_on(:name)
end

They can look like below as well:

describe Book do
  it { should have_property :name   }
  it { should  belongs_to   :author }
end

TODO

Update all the matchers to RSpec 2 format (see have_property.rb for an example)

Contributing to dm-rspec

• Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet
• Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it
• Fork the project
• Start a feature/bugfix branch
• Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
• Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
