Can I second this question? Could someone provide a simple example of how they set up a functional test for a controller that uses facebooker?? Do you have to copy a lot of stuff from rails_integration_test.rb ? I guess that since we don''t have a test facebook to test against, we have to stub out a lot of stuff right? --simon> Hi, I''m wondering if folks would care to share what strategies they''re > using, or tips and tricks for writing functional tests for their > apps that > use Facebooker?

Another shameless plug: I''m working on this right now. It should be available as part of http://www.pragprog.com/titles/mmfacer within the next few weeks. Also, I''m looking for a couple of additional reviewers. If you want an advanced copy of the entire book and are willing to act as a reviewer, let me know. You''ll have to read through the whole book and actually try all of the coding. Drop me an email if you want to review it. Mike On Apr 7, 2008, at 4:08 PM, S.

I can''t wait! Is there at least a way to get facebook to show me the RoR error page (with the stack trace) instead of the normal "An error occurred, we''re working on it" text? Maybe returning a fake HTTP response or something? --simon -- http://simonwoodside.com On Apr 7, 2008, at 6:16 PM, Mike Mangino wrote:> Another shameless plug: > > I''m working on this right now.

Yes, Have ActionController return a 200 on an error. Also you''ll probably want to make your own copy of the error templates and substitute any js with fbjs. Michael On Apr 7, 2008, at 9:32 PM, S.

I don''t find it obvious how to do this, can you give me a hint? Also, I''ve found another way to make testing easier. I now have two "apps" on FB driven by the same source base. One runs off my own laptop with dynamic dns, the other off the server. I automatically change the FB api key and secret key by using ERB in facebooker.yml.

Facebooker.yml allows you to specify different keys for different
environments. That would probably be even easier.
In terms of the error handling, you can do the following:
class ActionController::Base
protected
def response_code_for_rescue(exception)
"200"
end
end

Hey Simon, I recently posted an article on just this topic; how to configure "Custom Environment for Facebook Development" on my blog: http://locusfoc.us/2008/4/18/custom-environment-for-facebook-development This is pretty rudimentary stuff but it is helpful if you are developing with more than one developer and your application has both html and fbml views.
