similar to: [PIMP] Topfunky''s httperf PeepCode screencast

Hi, Thanks Zed - this is very interesting. One item in particular caught my eye: Does anyone on this list have any comments or validation that Rails 1.2.1 is 2-4 times as slow as Rails 1.1.6? Topfunky provided a link that purports what looks like really horrible performance and memory characteristics for Rails 1.2.1, even v. 1.1.6:

hello there, ive downloaded and watched the peepcode screencast on httperf. i am now trying to see how much load my site can handle. quick question, while i run 1000 connections, while this test is running, and i go surf my site, is the site response times similar to as if my site is actually having 1000 connections? also, what does --rate do? does that say for each connection do that rate?

Fellows of the cloth -- I''m writing code that subclasses RedCloth and emits styled text that is not HTML. For example, I''m going to be emitting RTF and other formats from Textile or Markdown. I''ve got it working quite well with plainclothed RedCloth, but I can''t seem to override any of the methods in SuperRedCloth. Here''s a sample:

Is anyone developing with HAML templates in Merb? I had to do a few hacks but got it generally working (Merb trunk). I did have to do odd things like print @_layout_content straight out instead of calling catch_content(:layout). And, templates seem to be cached even if I set :cache_templates to false in merb.yml. I hope to be at the MerbHack night at RailsConf and would love to hack on this part

Hello all, I''m attempting to test/tune a mongrel cluster according to the tuning instructions on the mongrel site (using httperf). Anecdotally, the site itself ''feels'' snappy, but testing it with httperf reveals what appears to be terrible throughput. I''m kind of at a loss to describe the results, and was hoping someone could verify that I''m testing

Hi, has anyone run httperf in Xen.if so cna you share the peformance.

Mosquito, the TDD framework for Camping has been updated (0.1.3). We''ve tried to keep it backwards compatible, so your apps should continue to work. But feel free to submit a bug report at RubyForge if you have any problems. Changes: http://rubyforge.org/frs/shownotes.php?group_id=351&release_id=14845 Download: http://rubyforge.org/projects/mosquito/ Docs:

Currently, Merb just shows a string on error: "500 Internal Server Error" I''ve added this to my merb_init.rb: if MERB_ENV == ''production'' module Merb def self.html_exception(e) File.read(DIST_ROOT + "/public/500.html") end end end http://nubyonrails.com/500.html Potentially a plugin could be written to log this to the database.

Does anyone know of any RSpec screencasts for dummies, like me :) I have a Java background, but I have never written a java test in my life. I''ve never learned about TDD or BDD so I''m totally blank on everything that has anything to do with testing and stuff. Where should I start?!? ;) Christian... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this

Hi, I want to write a plugin that uses JavaScript and I am wondering how to put the static content, i.e. the JavaScript, in place? I read the documentation I found ( http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/Plugins and links) and looked at the listed plugins. One thing I found was that subversion seems to be a prerequisite for providing or even installing plugins. Is that right? The other thing

Argh....ignore that last message. It looks like the trunk was already updated to serve public/500.html sometime in the past week. -- Geoffrey Grosenbach ........................ Blog | http://nubyonrails.com Podcast | http://podcast.rubyonrails.com Screencast | http://peepcode.com

I like the style of the Merb plugin manager....installing gems straight from RubyForge. However, the current implementation in trunk wants to find an install script and a Rakefile.merb. Many gems would still be useful without this and could be easily packaged with a Merb app for deployment. Right now it wil "rescue nil" if no uninstall script is found, but the others are required. Is

I''m going through Peepcode''s Rspec Basics for an overview. He''s just doing a simple spec: class PeepCode end describe PeepCode do it "should be awsome" do end end So running spec spec/simple_spec.rb should produce according to his screen cast: 1 example, 0 failures, 1 not implemented but I only recieve: 1 example, 0 failures Also spec

Okay, I am new to rails. I see that the new release of rails does not apply to anything on the site with regards to tutorials including screencasts. What I don''t understand is how I am suppose to learn Rails 2.0 if there is no docmentation for it. I did see that on peepcode there is a pdf for what has changed but how does that help me? How do I get an understanding of the design

And if so, I''m going a bit bonkers here and need to watch it again, but if I remember correctly, scaffold_resource generator was used, but for nested resources the show and index were removed from the controller ? Is this correct as far as what happened in the demonstration and if so is it correct as far as rest goes ? TIA Stuart -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_ambient

I attended a lecture in Sydney, Australia earlier this week that featured a rulin'' presenter app written in Camping. It recreates Eric Myer''s S5 presenter app, but with a better implementation in Ruby. I hope I''m not jumping the gun, but the author is Myles Byrne and he posted a link to the svn here (don''t bug him with feature requests for a few

I can''t get fixtures to load correctly in a Mosquito test. The first fixture loads in the unit test, but the rest don''t load at all. File structure: tracker/ tracker.rb test/ test_tracker.rb fixtures/ tracker_measurements.yml tracker_projects.yml Relevant test code: require ''rubygems''
