Testing in an app that uses Teacup fails

[holgersindbaek]

I would like to test my controllers and views, but I'm having problems with Teacup.

If I do as it is written in the Rubymotion's guide - http://www.rubymotion.com/developer-center/articles/testing/ - and stop the app from launching fully:

return true if RUBYMOTION_ENV == 'test'

Then I get an error when it loads the specific view. It can't calculate the width and height (100%), since it's not inside another view controller.

What can I do about that? Anyone who's been in the same situation?

It was because of the 'height: "100%-20"' that I had in my stylesheet. Now I go this instead 'Device.screen.height-20'. Might not be an optimal solution, but it's working.

Glad you got it resolved! Another way to resolve this is to define your controller inside another controller by defining a controller method in your test, and instantiating your controller in there, e.g.

describe MyController
  tests MyController

  def controller
    ctlr = MyController.new
    nav = UINavigationController.alloc.initWithRootViewController(ctlr)
    return ctlr
  end

  # ...
end
