...that this must be an issues for others as well. So I have an app using subdomains as account keys. The Application Controller sets up @current_company in a before filter. Everything is done within the context of the @current_company. After reading about Demeter''s Revenge (http://www.lukeredpath.co.uk/ 2007/10/18/demeters-revenge), and reading Sinclair''s advice (link above), I refactored @current_company.items.find(:all) to @current_company.find_items. Still no luck. The spec fails with: -- Mock ''Company'' expected :find_items with (:all) once, but received...

Hi, With so many good plugins around at the moment, I''d perhaps like to require some of these in one of my own rather than try to re-write their functionality. Is there a mechanism available for making a plugin dependent on another plugin(s)? Cheers Dan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hello, I am looking for a user test automation tool. When I say ''user'', I mean it should mimic the user interacting with the app. That ultimately boils down to a tool that drives a browser or is able to make http requests and allow us to deal easily with the responses.
