New version of Everyday Rails Testing with RSpec for Rails 7.1

[ruralocity]

Hello readers!

I'm happy to share the first release of Everyday Rails Testing with RSpec, updated for 2024. If you purchased a version of this book before, you can download this one for free, along with all future updates for free.

This release includes the following:

• Chapters 1-3 updated for the current Ruby on Rails stack
• An all-new chapter covering the basics of DRY tests
• A fun new sample application

I still have many chapters to update, along with some planned new content to cover testing concepts I didn't include in past versions, and augmenting TDD with generative AI.

If you still need the complete (albeit very outdated) Rails 5.1 version, I've made the download freely available, along with sample source code for this version. See the book resource page.

Thank you as always for your support, patience, and kindness as I've worked on these updates. Watch for the next batch of updates in the coming weeks.

MINASWAN,
Aaron

Hi @ruralocity!

I'm extremely excited about these updates to your book. (My PDF says it was updated Sept. 05, so I believe I'm looking at the most recent updates.)

Are you open to feedback on errors, typos, other mistakes, and general confusion? Or would you prefer to wait until later drafts? If you're open, where/how would you prefer to receive the feedback?

Thanks for taking the time to update your book and making it available to those of us who previously purchased a copy!

Hey @stetsonthree sorry for the slow response. Please feel free to send all of the above! Some things are simpler for me to fix sooner rather than later. And I definitely don't want anyone to be confused by something in the meantime if there's something I can help clarify. Letting me know here is great. If you can, maybe make a thread per issue to help with tracking and context. Thanks!

If i want to get a full picture of testing rails with rspec patterns in this book, do you recommend doing the 2017 edition and waiting for the finished copy of the 2024 amendments?

I flew threw the current 2024 content pretty fast.
