Some Shoulda Plugin Love

August 18th, 2008

I’ve been using Shoulda for some new projects and while it’s a learning experience I’m really pleased with the results. One thing I noticed right away is that I was testing for the presence and functionality of several Rails plugins I chose that are being used on many models.

I ended up writing custom Shoulda macros for three of the plugins: ActsAsTaggableOn, ActsAsCommentable and SaltySlugs. Below are the macros and an example of their usage in a test.
