The gem shoulda-matchers does not work

[terlar]

When running specs with zeus rspec all tests using shoulda-matchers fail.

I get the error message with undefined method which is the same as if shoulda-matchers weren't loaded.

Do I need to configure something special to get this to work with zeus? Works perfectly fine with bare rspec.

The only thing I have right now specific to the shoulda-matchers is the following code in my Gemfile and my specs of course.

group :test do
  gem 'shoulda-matchers'
end

Do you have config.include Paperclip::Shoulda::Matchers defined in your spec_helper?

[terlar]

No, but I am not using paperclip though. I am using (https://github.com/thoughtbot/shoulda-matchers).

Don't use it for any models, only use it for my controllers at this moment. And again, works without zeus.

[terlar]

I will close this issue, zeus was just more sensitive to the order I loaded the gems. Fixed the order and put them in the same group to make it less error prone.

Setup that was failing:

group :test do
  gem 'shoulda-matchers'
end

group :development, :test do
  gem 'rspec-rails'
end

Setup that is working:

group :test do
  gem 'rspec-rails'
  gem 'shoulda-matchers'
end

Wow, I read through that way too fast. Sorry for the useless question.

Thanks @terlar, I had the same issue, moved rspec-rails and should-matchers to the top of my group :test and it worked. Very odd. Although another test is failing with zeus and working with normal rspec, I'll investigate now.

[lcx]

unfortunately it didn't work for me. very odd, since I have a different project, same order but other versions for shoulda an rspec-rails, and there it works.

[squiter]

unfortunately it didn't work for me too.

[andyw8]

@lcx and @squiter85 - can you share your full Gemfile in a gist please

[squiter]

Here it goes @andyw8 https://gist.github.com/squiter85/5416077 :)
I already tried to change the order of groups and order of gems but still not work.

hmm I'm use 'shoulda', not 'shoulda-matcher', but I think the error is the same, my specs that don't use it runs fine.

[terlar]

@squiter85 Did you try to move them to the same group as that seemed to be the problem for me.

[lcx]

Funny thing is, I have a similar Gemfile in a different project where I have no problems.
I tried downgrading zeus to the same version as used in the other project but still have the same issue.
Here is the Gemfile of the other project where I don't have these issues: https://gist.github.com/lcx/5419573

[squiter]

@terlar I was tried to change order of gems, but not tried put all in the same group, and when I made it all works fine!

Thank you guys! 👍

[lcx]

@squiter85 could you please share your new gemfile? Didn't work for me so I'm curious where the difference is.

[squiter]

Here @lcx https://gist.github.com/squiter85/5420557

I'm justo move 'gem "shoulda"' to the same group of 'rspec-rails' ;)

[lcx]

nope, no matter how I change it, won't work for me. Any other hints except to remove shoulda?

[lcx]

I just found this solution to be working:

Remove require 'rspec/autotest' from spec_helper.rb

from: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14030561/zeus-rspec-fails-include-required-files-but-rspec-alone-does-fine

[SeriousM]

I just found this solution to be working:
Remove require 'rspec/autotest' from spec_helper.rb

that worked for me too! thank you so much,was wasting so much time finding out the issue.

[alex-zige]

yeah. make sure remove/comment out # require 'rspec/autorun'. it helps <3

[allenwyma]

+50! Spent like all morning and part of the afternoon. Please someone put this on the README ASAP!

[szymon-jez]

How to not require it only when run via zeus?
The only idea I now have came up with is this require 'rspec/autorun' unless ENV['ZEUS'] bu then this is not DRY (I have to repeat something that could be set somehow OOTB by Zeus while run).
Any ideas?

[mattheworiordan]

I just removed require 'rspec/autorun' and everything worked both with RSpec with/without Zeus.

[michaelglass]

also: see thoughtbot/shoulda-matchers#384, this rebroke when I moved from shoulda-matchers 2.5 -> 2.6

[michaelglass]

also: ensure require:false

gem 'shoulda-matchers', require: false

and then require 'shoulda/matchers' in spec_helper.rb
as documented in the shoulda readme

[edipofederle]

Someone with this issue when running tests usign guard ?

[lukerollans]

Moving rspec-rails next to shoulda-matchers in my :test group did not work, however @michaelglass's solution did indeed work for me (require false in gemfile and manually requiring in spec_helper.rb

[gmonfort]

+1 to @michaelglass solution

[Andrelton]

Another +1 to the @michaelglass solution, thank you!

[AlejandroFernandesAntunes]

it started working for me when adding the following to rails_helper:

Shoulda::Matchers.configure do |config|
  config.integrate do |with|
    with.test_framework :rspec
    with.library :rails
  end
end

which was in the readme file
