RR to RSpec Converter

This is a modification of the Rails5 Spec Converter tool to handle converting from RR v1.1.2 to RSpec v3.6.0 syntax for mocking and stubbing. This is a basic implementation to handle the needs of a large codebase of 6000+ tests. It handles most usages but is not exhaustive.

Installation

Install the gem standalone like so:

$ gem install rr-to-rspec-converter

Usage

Make sure you've committed everything to Git first, then

$ cd some-project
$ rr-to-rspec-converter

This will update all the files in that directory matching the globs spec/**/*_spec.rb or test/**/*_test.rb.

If you want to specify a specific set of files instead, you can run rr-to-rspec-converter path_to_my_files.

By default it will make some noise, run with rr-to-rspec-converter --quiet if you want it not to.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run bundle exec rspec spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

RR

The following lists each RR API method and the conversion that is applied. Some cases are not handled. To see which ones, search for unhandled in this document.

Mocking and Stubbing

#mock

mock(view).render.with_any_args.twice do |*args|
  if args.first == {:partial => "user_info"}
    "User Info"
  else
    "Stuff in the view #{args.inspect}"
  end
end

=> expect(object).to receive(:method).with(arguments).and_return(return_val)

#mock!

Unhandled

Nested usage:

mock.something.mock!.method { result }

=> and_return(double(method: result))

Simple usage:

mock!
=>
  double
  instance_double("ConsoleNotifier")
  class_double("ConsoleNotifier")
  object_double(User.new, :save => true)
  object_double("MyApp::LOGGER", :info => nil).as_stubbed_const

  Then assert expectations with `have_received` or `receive`.

#stub

Rspec doubles

By itself:

x = stub

=> double

With method:

x = stub(object).method.with(args).returns { return_val }

=> allow(object).to receive(:method).with(arguments).and_return(return_val)

#stub!

Unhandled

=>
  instance_double("ConsoleNotifier")
  class_double("ConsoleNotifier")
  object_double(User.new, :save => true)
  object_double("MyApp::LOGGER", :info => nil).as_stubbed_const

#dont_allow

Normal usage:

dont_allow(object).method(args)

=> expect(object).not_to receive(:method).with(args)

Inside any_instance_of block (Unhandled):

any_instance_of(klass) do |o|
  dont_allow(object).method(args)
end

=> expect_any_instance_of(klass).not_to receive(:method).with(args)

#dont_allow!

Unhandled

#proxy

Unhandled

=>
  and_call_original, or
  and_wrap_original

  allow(Calculator).to receive(:add).and_call_original
  allow(Calculator).to receive(:add).with(2, 3).and_return(-5)

  expect(API).to receive(:solve_for).and_wrap_original { |m, *args| m.call(*args).first(5) }
  expect(API.solve_for(100)).to eq [1,2,3,4,5]

#proxy!

Unhandled

#instance_of

=> instance_of

#instance_of!

Unhandled

#any_instance_of

any_instance_of(User) do |u|
  stub(u).valid? { false }
end
 or
any_instance_of(User, :valid? => false)
 or
any_instance_of(User, :valid? => lambda { false })

=>

  allow_any_instance_of(klass).to receive_messages(:method => return_value)
  expect_any_instance_of(klass).to receive_messages(:method => return_value)
  allow_any_instance_of(klass).to receive(:method => return_value)
  expect_any_instance_of(klass).to receive(:method => return_value)

#with_any_args

mock(PetitionGroup).find.with_any_args.returns(petition_group)

=> with(any_args)

#with_no_args

=> with(no_args)

#times

=>
  times(0) => expect().not_to receive()
  times(1) => once
  times(2) => twice
  times(n) => exactly(n).times  **Unhandled**
  times(any_times) => allow().to receive() OR at_least(:once)

#any_times

Converts to at_least(:once) but this interpretation may be incorrect. The intention of the test may be to allow the message to be received - in which case mock should not have been used.

.any_times
.times(any_times)

=> allow().to receive() OR at_least(:once)

#returns

mock(PetitionGroup).find.with_any_args.returns(petition_group)

=> and_return

#yields

Unhandled

#with

=> with

#never

=> expect(object).not_to receive(:method)

#once

=> once

#at_least

=>
  at_least(0)  => Use `allow` instead of `expect` **Unhandled**
  at_least(1)  => at_least(:once)
  at_least(2)  => at_least(:twice)
  at_least(n)  => at_least(n).times

#at_most

=>
  at_most(1)  => at_most(:once)
  at_most(2)  => at_most(:twice)
  at_most(n)  => at_most(n).times

Matchers

#anything

=> anything

#is_a

=> kind_of

#numeric

=> kind_of(Numeric)

#boolean

=> boolean

#duck_type

=> duck_type

#hash_including

=> hash_including

#rr_satisfy

Use RSpec satisfy method. Would need to rewrite to use arguments from block, which alters the intent of the test. Will probably require manual fixes post conversion.

=> satisfy

Module References

RR::WildcardMatchers::HashIncluding

=> hash_including

RR::WildcardMatchers::Satisfy

=> rr_satisfy

RR.reset

=> removes line

Manual Cleanup

  • Remove all comments that reference /\brr\b/i
  • Remove 'rr' from Gemfile
  • Remove config.mock_with :rr from spec/spec_helper.rb

Configure RSpec

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.mock_with :rspec do |mocks|
    mocks.verify_partial_doubles = true
  end
end
