ResqueSpec

A simple RSpec and Cucumber matcher for Resque.enqueue, loosely based on http://github.com/justinweiss/resque_unit.

Install

Install the gem

% gem install resque_spec

And update your Gemfile (Not using bundler? Do the necessary thing for your app's gem management):

group :test do
  gem 'resque_spec'
end

Resque with Specs

Given this scenario

Given a person
When I recalculate
Then the person has calculate queued

And I write this spec using the resque_spec matcher

describe "#recalculate" do
  before do
    ResqueSpec.reset!
  end

  it "adds to the calculate to the person queue" do
    person.recalculate
    Person.should have_queued(person.id, :calculate)
  end
end

(And I take note of the before block that is using reset every spec.)

And I might write this as a cucumber step

Then /the (\w?) has (\w?) queued/ do |thing, method|
  thing_obj = instance_variable_get("@#{thing}")
  thing_obj.class.should have_queued(thing_obj.id, method.to_sym)
end

Then I write some code to make it pass:

class Person
  @queue = :people

  def recalculate
    Resque.enqueue(Person, id, :calculate)
  end
end

== Note on Patches/Pull Requests

Fork the project.
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
