Hi all, I am trying to use rspec_on_rails in a Rails app that doesn''t have a database. so far I have just been faking it out by dumping in a sqlite3 database just to make Rails happy. I was using for test::unit a rake task that eliminated the calls to database prep: # Added this .rake file to keep Rake happy without a database. # Remove once a database is in the picture.

Hi all, I have an array of shipping_type''s being returned, and I want to see what is in there. In the past I have done: shipping_type.include?(Cart::SHIPPING_TYPE_REGULAR).should be_true This works, but looks really ugly.. It just doesn''t roll of the tongue very well. I then looked up the use of Predicates, which I had been using, but hadn''t realized:

So, what''s the status of this project? I''m a little confused. The documentation at http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org seems out of date. It refers to http://svn.devjavu.com/backgroundrb/tags/release-0.2.1, which doesn''t work. All I want is a way to easily set up tasks that should run periodically. Some stuff should run every 10 seconds, some stuff once a day, etc.

Hi, I''ve been following this thread and I can get the example stories to run with the ruby command. But I''ve been unable to get the example from http://blog.davidchelimsky.net/articles/2007/10/25/plain-text-stories-part-iii to run with all.rb ruby stories/all.rb /home/edh/story/stories/additions/steps/addition_steps.rb:2: undefined method `steps_for'' for main:Object

Hi all, I am really liking the auto start stuff! One thing I notice is that I can''t seem to query for them through the MiddleMan via the job_key... Is that the correct behavior? Or do I have a bug of some variety? thanks, Eric Pugh

I''ve been playing around with Vlad the deployer, and quite like it. However, has anyone used it to stop/start background rb processes via the ./script/backgroundrb script?

I am trying to use SVN HEAD of Acts_as_ferret, and I have ferret 0.10.4installed from the windows Gem. Unfortuanantly, whenever I i let act_as_ferrets init.rb file require ferret, my app blows up, with weird "Invalid char" errors. I have pasted the page below. If I comment out the require ferret, the page loads. Of course, act_as_ferret does blow up. My unit tests do work fine
