Being new to testing and ruby, are there "standard" tests that can be done that test for things like cross site scripting and friends? If not, anyone have ideas on what I might do about testing those sorts of things? I''ll be using rails, also.

I''d like to output my rcov data to the screen in ascii instead of html...is that possible using the rake spec:rcov command? Also, is there somewhere that will allow me to search the mail archives...I''m pretty sure someone else has asked similar questions. Thanks for the help.

I poked around the web a little and didn''t run across how to use https when it asks for certificate validation. I''m trying to connect to devices that don''t have valid certificates, and in this case, I don''t care if they are or not. So when I use my browser to ge to the site, firefox asks me to allow the certificate, then one other question, then I get the

I''m trying to use mechanize against a site that has four fields in the form. However, those four fields have to be filled in order. So putting something in field one, populates the second field drop down. So I''m thinking that I''ll probably have to call the page multiple times? What sort of things should I be doing to figure out how to interact with this page.

I downloaded the gems from rubyforge, but they are a couple of revs back. What''s the reasoning behind this? I''m no expert, but would be willing to keep rubyforge updated if needed.

Are there special issues when using XP home with Samba? I have a machine that when trying to log in as the user Mike, the logs show that it is trying to login in as Mike Barsalou. I tried making another user mbarsalou but I can't get it to authenticate properly. I was thinking it was a feature of XP home. Anyone have ideas? Mike

I''ve just started doing TDD/BDD and like the idea of mocks. So I set out to use them. The doc pages seem great, I setup the mock and then it just works. Here is what I am trying to do: Myuser is a non-rails model of user attributes. We are going to be mocking the connection to the ldap server. The user class has a login method that connects to the ldap server and if successful,

It seems to me that when you have a master server and a client computer, the master doesn''t really need to know the implementation details of the client computer. It''s kinda like a browser from my perspective...the server is just telling the browser what needs to be drawn on the local side. Does the puppet model work like this? If not, I guess what I read didn''t

OK. I thought I would start by looking at how cron.rb in the puppet lib/type works because what I''m trying to accomplish is similar. However, when looking through that, it wasn''t immediately obvious to me how or when the resulting cron file was getting written out. Is this getting stored up in some instance var or something? Maybe getting sent to standard out and some

I''ve done a clean install of Ubuntu 7.04 server in 2 different machines and everytime I reboot the machine or manually run /etc/ init.d/mongrel_cluster restart/start the mongrels won''t start correctly. I have to manually start them by using mongrel_rails cluster::start from each app folder. I''ve been searching around and it looks like mongrel has some problems

Just curious as to the functionality of puppet. Does Puppet ensure that a service is up and running as long as puppet is running? Ie, I want to make sure ssh is always running, if for some reason ssh get''s shut down, does puppet start it back up when it does it''s config sync run? Thanks! --------------------------------- Pinpoint customers who are looking for

Anyone willing to tar me up the 1.0.8 of rspec and rspec_on_rails? I''m interested in giving the story runner stuff a try. I really got to get svn going somehow.

If I have a low volume application and I want to use DigestAuth to limit access to the site, is it possible to do this with just mongrel/mongrel_cluster? I''m thinking I''m going to have to include Apache to make this work, and I heard that Rails 2 has methods to do this, but thought I''d ask.

...) And it would not complete the copy operation. This is resolved for the moment, but wanted to share some of what has occurred. Without all the boring details, two things seemed most important. First is the fstab for mount this device: /dev/sda1 /media/My\040Book auto mask=0002,uid=barsalou,gid=shared,shortname=mixed This is all one line btw. The second is the stanza: [music] available = yes browseable = yes writable = yes create mask = 02770 directory mask = 02770 force group = +shared force user = barsalou path = "/media/My Book/iTunes" The most important bits here se...

I''m trying to be able to use puppet to modify an existing firewall on a web server. The idea is that if I use puppet to do this, then if the machine ever has to be rebuilt, aside from backups, I have a documented configuration. I looked at the module that was on the wiki that had a perl program and what not, but I don''t think I''m clear on what my thinking should be

Whe using a particular web page, the default values of the form are set by a java function, then I can modify the web page and submit it. But when I use Mechanize, I am having trouble figuring out how to get those values so I can put them into the form I am going to submit. Below is the function that has the data...and I have changed pertinent info. What other choices might I have to

Here is a short bash script I wrote to install rspec if your just using the tarballs like me. I probably should have written it in ruby, but there it is: #!/bin/bash RSPEC=rspec-1.0.4-pre-release.tgz RSPECRAILS=rspec_on_rails-1.0.4-pre-release.tgz [ -z "$1" ] && { echo echo "You must include a pathname" echo exit 1 } if [ -d $1/vendor/plugins ]; then cd
