Hi all - does anyone know of a good blog post or wiki or something with a good guide to mocking? I''ve got some degree of responsibility for people who are creating mocks. I''m supposed to actually be telling them the best way to do it. In some cases we have code with like a bazillion mock(:x) statements and it''s kind of out of control. I have an idea how the specs should

Hi - couldn''t find the dev list because it appears http://cruisecontrolrb.thoughtworks.com/ is throwing 503 errors. But, to get CCrb running with the new ActiveSupport, I had to do this: http://s3.amazonaws.com/giles/ccrb_duration_patch.jpg (Sorry to submit my patch in JPEG format but you know what they say, anything for a weird life.) The changes are on lines 18 and 27:

I appear to have written code which travels backwards through time: http://www.vimeo.com/742590 This disturbs me immensely. If anyone can explain it, that would be cool. I think it''s an illusion brought about by how RSpec wraps the code it executes, and by the sheer weirdness of continuations. -- Giles Bowkett Blog: http://gilesbowkett.blogspot.com Portfolio:

This is something I''ve come up against twice. First, I have an interactive editor which calls vi, emacs, or TextMate (etc.) via Unix, and then loads the file handed to the editor back into IRB after it''s edited and saved. I guess that makes it a special case of a more general question, which is how do you spec external processes, with a slightly more complicated version of the

Hi all, where I work we''ve cooked up a kind of ghetto profiler for our specs. It basically just does this: time = Time.now # run the spec puts "woah! dude. long spec." if time > 1.second I''m simplifying here. I think the threshold is actually 0.1 seconds, and we use more precise language, and highlight the spec in red via terminal colors, etc. But the way it works

Hi - I''ve got a pretty popular Rails app on a Mongrel cluster with Apache and mod_proxy_balancer. How do I decide how many Mongrel servers to put in the cluster? I don''t have stats for the number of requests hitting the server yet, but I should have that data soon. The server has 2GB of RAM and has to do a lot of work with RMagick, including generating and storing lots of

Below I''ve pasted a ./script/story command I''ve been using for about a week. It has three modes of operation: 1. ./script/story with no arguments will run all *.story files in the story path 2. ./script/story with a path or glob will run the specified stories 3. If input is passed in via STDIN, it runs that text as a story. This opens up story running via a simple interface

Hi all, Is there any integration with testing tools such as RSpec or Test::Unit planned? I see that the cruise task is run correctly, but the tests show up underneath the build log. Ideally I''d like them to show up the same way that they do in ''java'' CruiseControl, in their own section of tests. Will.

I installed the Facebooker plugin and upon placing it on a staging server, I keep running into stack level too deep errors. It seems to stem from Facebooker using alias_method_chain to override some of the ActionController methods. I believe it''s getting loaded twice causing confusion. I''ve tried various methods include wrapping a unless respond_to?(:method) around the

I''m trying to fully understand the subtleties of using alias_method_chain to refine method behavior versus redefining a method and calling super. I have a simple data model (a music collection) that I often use to evaluate web frameworks, and I''m trying to get it working on Rails 1.2.0RC1. Specifically, I have three classes which subclass a common Artist class: - Band

Hi all, I have this in my class: class Party < AR::B acts_as_ferret :store_class_name => true, :remote => true, :fields => (self.content_columns.map(&:name) rescue []) + %w(main_identifier) class << self # #count is also defined, omitted for clarity def find_with_destroyed_scope(*args) with_destroyed_scope do

when i require acts_as_paranoid I''m getting: undefined method `alias_method_chain'' for #<Class:ActiveRecord::Base> (NoMethodError) It happens in acts_as_paranoid''s init.rb. here''s the whole file. the alias_method_chain is near the bottom. please advise. class << ActiveRecord::Base def belongs_to_with_deleted(association_id, options = {})

I''m trying to add some functionality to the setup method of all my tests. I added a method called setup_with_ts in the test_helper and chained it using alias_method_chain :setup, :ts and that works great for every test that does not define setup in the test. So for my unit tests i tried also defining the same method setup_with_ts in a class ActiveSupport::TestCase def setup_with_ts

I can''t seem to be able to override the :find method in the model base class, for example, in /lib/usermonitor.rb: module ActiveRecord module UserMonitor def self.included(base) base.class_eval do alias_method_chain :find, :user def current_site Thread.current[:user] end end end def find_with_user(*args) ... end end

Hi, We are running RE: ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174) [sparc-solaris2.10], MBARI 0x8770, Ruby Enterprise Edition 2009.10 I tried a simple web app with a controller rendering a text and is working in my PC but on the server I get: Error message: undefined method `alias_method_chain'' for I18n::Backend::Simple:Class Exception class: NoMethodError Application root:

Hello, I''m facing this problem while trying to extend the parse_redmine_links helper method in Redmine-1.1.0 (Rails-2.3.5) from my plugin. My idea is to use alias_method_chain so the extended version could call the original version and adjust the result to it''s liking. Anything I''ve tried so far exposes this behavior: the first render of a page uses the extended

Ezra, I love merb, especially because it''s keeping the things that Rails does well and improves on things that Rails hasn''t done so well. One of my biggest pain points with Rails has become multi-app integration. A lot of web sites consist of multiple apps (e.g. a core site, a forum, a blog/cms, etc.). Doing this sort of thing is very ugly and inefficient with the current

(This message was originally written on StackOverflow -- the formatting is much prettier there -- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1283046/problem-with-setter-override-on-activerecord) This is not exactly a question, it''s rather a report on how I solved an issue with write_attribute when the attribute is an object, on Rails'' Active Record. I hope this can be useful to others

Hi everyone, I have deployed a rails tumblelog site via capistrano, but have run into a problem. What I am wanting to do is this: In my deployment script create symlinks from the public directory so that the images directory points to a shared images directory. Reason being is I am adding an image upload to the site (not file_column) and need to easily add the uploaded images and thumbs into

Hello list, I am trying to override the post_form method of Net::HTTP so that it does something before actually doing the post. I tried the following in environments/development.rb module Net class HTTP alias_method_chain :post_form, :intercept def post_form_with_intercept(url, params) # Do something before post logger.info(''About to post at
