Tests are needed. Any volunteers?

[adamthedeveloper]

Tests are indeed needed. I will create some - OR - if someone out there would like to create some tests, please do so and send me a pull request. Thanks for helping.

I'd love to run some tests but I'm getting this issue when running bundle exec rake test :

/home/steve/Desktop/wepay-rails/lib/wepay-rails.rb:1:in `require': no such file to load -- active_record (LoadError)
  from /home/steve/Desktop/wepay-rails/lib/wepay-rails.rb:1:in `<top (required)>'
  from /home/steve/Desktop/wepay-rails/test/helper.rb:15:in `require'

It looks like we need to declare active_record as a dependency for development to get testing to work. Should we be requiring the entire Rails frame work to run a complete test suite, or individual gems as needed (such as active_record)?

[SteveAquino]

Including rails or active_model in Gemfile won't do the trick. Getting this error:

/home/steve/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136/gems/rake-0.9.2/lib/rake/ext/module.rb:36:in `const_missing': uninitialized constant WepayRails::Rails (NameError)
from /home/steve/Desktop/wepay-rails/lib/wepay-rails.rb:19:in `<module:WepayRails>'

It looks like the line declaring an initializer for the gem is calling an instance of Rails::Engine, which tells me that running tests will require setting up a Ruby on Rails environment to even load the WepayRails module for testing. I don't exactly know what this means... Do we rails new wepay-rails-test and use that for testing? It doesn't seem to make sense that we would need to include a sample Rails app in the gem's file directory just to run tests. As far as I can tell, this initializer is the only place in the gem that specifically calls the Rails environment. Since this is a Rails specific gem, I also don't think it makes sense to have to check for Rails at runtime, so how do we set up tests for this?

[SteveAquino]

Adding require 'rails/all' in test/helper.rb seems to have done the trick. I'm not closing this comment yet because I'm still not certain this is the proper way to test this gem. I would love to hear what others have experienced in the past as far as testing gems with Rails specific dependencies.

[adamthedeveloper]

I wonder if:

if Rails.env == 'test' require 'rails/all' end

would be sufficient??

[SteveAquino]

Ok I've got tests working by requiring 'rails/all' in test/helper.rb which keeps us from having to mess with the actual core files. Will try to get some tests and the latest update pushed out today.

[adamthedeveloper]

AHHH - awesome! Great work -

[SteveAquino]

Added some preliminary tests that just make sure the gem loads properly with config settings. More tests still needed..

[adamthedeveloper]

Our tests are now being run after every push on travis. You can quickly see the state of the last build at the top of our README.rdoc file (aka - the wepay-rails github page).

I'll be adding tests soon too.

Thanks, am

Yes it looks like there's an error with Ruby 1.8 support; I used the new hash syntax instead of the old rocket style {key: value} instead of {:key => value} in test/helper.rb . I've just addressed this an pushing out now as we speak.
