Installing flash on Ubuntu

Question

Sorry for the code vomit below, but I really need a second set of eyes on this problem. I appreciate your time and help! I know it's a small issue on a make-believe treehouse app but it's choking me up when I run bin/rake. Let me know if anyone has any ideas. Thanks!

 1) Adding todo items is successful with valid content
 Failure/Error: within("ul.todo_items") do
 Capybara::ElementNotFound:
   Unable to find css "ul.todo_items"
 # ./spec/features/todo_items/create_spec.rb:14:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

  2) todo_lists/index renders a list of todo_lists
 Failure/Error: assert_select "tr>td", :text => "Title".to_s, :count => 2
 Minitest::Assertion:
    Expected exactly 2 elements matching "tr > td", found 0..
    Expected: 2
   Actual: 0
  # ./spec/views/todo_lists/index.html.erb_spec.rb:20:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

  3) Viewing todo items displays item content when a todo list has items
  Failure/Error: expect(page.all("ul.todo_items li").size).to eq(2)

   expected: 2
        got: 0

   (compared using ==)
 # ./spec/features/todo_items/index_spec.rb:25:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

  4) Viewing todo items displays the title of the todo list
  Failure/Error: within("h1") do
  Capybara::Ambiguous:
    Ambiguous match, found 2 elements matching css "h1"
   # ./spec/features/todo_items/index_spec.rb:9:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

Here is my: app/views/todo_lists/index.html.erb

<h1>Todo Lists</h1>


<% @todo_lists.each do |todo_list| %>
<div class="todo_list" id="<%= dom_id(todo_list) %>">
<h2><%= todo_list.title %></h2>
<p><%= todo_list.description %></p>
 <ul class="functions">
    <li><%= link_to "List Items", todo_list_todo_items_path(todo_list) %></li>
    <li><%= link_to 'Show', todo_list %></li>
    <li><%= link_to 'Edit', edit_todo_list_path(todo_list) %></li>
    <li><%= link_to 'Destroy', todo_list, method: :delete, data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?' } %></li>
</ul>
    <br class="clear" />

 </div>
 <% end %>

 <br>

  <%= link_to 'New Todo list', new_todo_list_path %>

Here is my: spec/features/todo_items/index_spec.rb

require 'spec_helper'

 describe "Viewing todo items" do
let!(:todo_list) { TodoList.create(title: "Grocery list", description: "Groceries")}


it "displays the title of the todo list" do
        visit_todo_list(todo_list)
    within("h1") do
        expect(page).to have_content(todo_list.title)
    end
end

 it "displays no items when a todo list is empty" do    
     visit_todo_list(todo_list)
     expect(page.all("ul.todo_items li").size).to eq(0)
 end

 it "displays item content when a todo list has items" do
    todo_list.todo_items.create(content: "Milk")
    todo_list.todo_items.create(content: "Eggs")

     visit_todo_list(todo_list)

     expect(page.all("ul.todo_items li").size).to eq(2)

     within "ul.todo_items" do
         expect(page).to have_content("Milk")
         expect(page).to have_content("Eggs")
     end
    end

Here is my: /spec/features/todo_items/create_spec

require 'spec_helper'

 describe "Adding todo items" do
     let!(:todo_list) { TodoList.create(title: "Grocery list", description: "Groceries")}



 it "is successful with valid content" do
     visit_todo_list(todo_list)
     click_link "New Todo Item"
     fill_in "Content", with: "Milk"
     click_button "Save"
     expect(page).to have_content("Added todo list item.")
     within("ul.todo_items") do
         expect(page).to have_content("Milk")
     end
 end

 it "displays an error with no content" do
     visit_todo_list(todo_list)
     click_link "New Todo Item"
     fill_in "Content", with: ""
    click_button "Save"
    within("div.flash") do
        expect(page).to have_content("There was a problem adding that todo list item.")
    end
    expect(page).to have_content("Content can't be blank")
end

it "displays an error with content less than 2 characters long" do
    visit_todo_list(todo_list)
    click_link "New Todo Item"
    fill_in "Content", with: "1"
    click_button "Save"
    within("div.flash") do
        expect(page).to have_content("There was a problem adding that todo list item.")
    end
    expect(page).to have_content("Content is too short")
 end
 end

Here's my spec/views/todo_lists/index.html.erb_spec.rb

require 'spec_helper'

describe "todo_lists/index" do
  before(:each) do
  assign(:todo_lists, [
      stub_model(TodoList,
    :title => "Title",
    :description => "MyText"
  ),
  stub_model(TodoList,
    :title => "Title",
    :description => "MyText"
  )
])
 end

  it "renders a list of todo_lists" do
    render
    # Run the generator again with the --webrat flag if you want to use webrat matchers
     assert_select "tr>td", :text => "Title".to_s, :count => 2
     assert_select "tr>td", :text => "MyText".to_s, :count => 2
  end
end

Solution

Have you enabled sufficent sources of software? Since you want to install Flash via the CLI, you will have to edit your sources.list found here: /etc/apt/sources.list. To do so, you'll have to use sudo and a suitable editor such as nano after backing up the original file:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu to ensure that the sources you need are included. For example:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu quantal main restricted multiverse universe
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu quantal-updates main restricted multiverse universe
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu quantal partner
deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu quantal main

You can read more here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine

Once you've edited sources.list to your satisfaction, you will need to refresh things and make apt aware of the changes by running

sudo apt-get update

You should then be able to install Flash Player with

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer

Hey p11y, Thank you so much for your help. Unfortunately, this didn't work or anything like it that I tried. If any of either of you get a free second, would you mind running it yourself and see what's actually going on? It would really mean a lot. Thanks again. github.com/lamagnotti/odot

Cloning the repo and running your tests gives me 63 examples, 20 failures, 3 pending. You are basically asking us to do your work - sorry but I have no time for fixing all that. Have you got any experience with Rails and Testing? It looks like you need to go through some very basic tutorials. Have a look at codeschool.com - the trial is inexpensive and they will get you up to speed quickly.

Thanks for the help p11y! I understand. Still learning! Cheers!

[Patrick Oscity]

Good luck with your project!

Greetings, @Zanna It seems the recommended method is using adobe-flashplugin, and in fact the page leading on from that has a screenshot where flashplugin-installer is removed. Is this information still relevant?

[Admin]

@Seb I doubt it - I think this information is obsolete :( alas it's not my post - I just edited it to improve the formatting
