Shoulda 4.0.1 - the lean and mean release
Posted by Tammer Saleh

Shoulda is a great tool for cleaning up your tests, but there was always some dirt under the hood that was keeping me up at night. I don’t want to just move complexity around – I want to remove it entirely.
A recent change in edge rails forced me to get off my butt and do that.
So everyone give a warm hello to the latest Shoulda gem. It now uses a Context class in the backend, prints out should_eventually tests in a clear way, names the bare shouldas nicely, and fixes a few small bugs.
I also took the opportunity to fix some of the outstanding issues in the shoulda rails plugin (with a lot of great help from the community).
So grab the latest plugin and have some fun:
piston import https://svn.thoughtbot.com/plugins/shoulda/tags/rel-4.0.1 vendor/plugins/shoulda
Also, please let us know if you find any bugs or issues.
Shameless self promotion: While I’m in the blogging mood, I’d like to feature a small “over the weekends” app that I’ve been working on with some other Thoughtbotters:

Wow, that looks really interesting. And excellent timing, as I am just about to dive into writing a lot of tests in 2.0.2.
Thank you so much for sharing this with the community!

Should (no pun) that be a “piston import” command instead of “install”? I got an unknown command error when doing that… BTW, my first time using Piston too.

Neat.
If you are using to_param in your models, should_be_restful with nested resources won’t work as expected due to the fact it calls for the id.
{ :"#{parent_name}_id" => parent.id }.merge(make_parent_params(resource, parent, parent_names))Other than that… its pretty cool.

Ken – Thanks for the catch. Between
port,gem,script/pluginandpiston, I tend to get the commands confused.Smarticus – Thanks for the bug report. I’ve made a ticket in lighthouse.
