similar to: testing with httperf...help a noob?

Hey Everyone, Topfunky (Geoffry) has created a great PeepCode screencast on using httperf to performance measure your web applications: http://nubyonrails.topfunky.com/articles/2007/03/05/peepcode-page-caching-and-httperf http://peepcode.com/products/benchmarking-with-httperf Topfunky put a ton of work into this and really got it right. The attention to detail is very good and he researched

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:

are you guys aware of this?? :) Begin forwarded message: > From: topfunky <topfunkycorporation at gmail.com> > Date: June 4, 2007 8:35:24 PM EDT > To: PeepCode <peepcode at googlegroups.com> > Subject: Re: testing - test/spec and rspec > Reply-To: peepcode at googlegroups.com > > > On 5/28/07, Neil <neilrahilly at gmail.com> wrote: >> Just

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, ive been reading up on ferret, acts_as_ferret, and other search plugins for rails. after reading about ferret, i found out about the acts_as_ferrt plugin. my first question about acts_as_ferret: 1. from reading about ferret, do i still need to manually save the IDX and add a IDX column field to my model table for acts_as_ferret to work? they say that acts_as_ferret handles everything,

Spec::Rails people, I''m curious about: - model.should have(1).error_on(:attribute) displayed in the URL below: http://rspec.rubyforge.org/rspec-rails/1.2.2/classes/Spec/Rails/Extensions/ActiveRecord/InstanceMethods.html The Rspec peepcode screencast suggests that model.should have(1).error_on(:attribute) should pass if model.send(:attribute) returns nil For me, I get an exception

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:

Hello all, I''m new to rSpec but after reading a couple of tutorials I''ve become enamored. Anyway, I am at minute 42 of the rSpec basics screencast ( peepcode.com) and I''m having the following error running autotest w/rSpec: D:\ruby\projects\forecaster>autotest loading autotest/rails_rspec c:\ruby\bin\ruby -rrubygems -e "require ''redgreen''"

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

I am new to linux. I installed wine, but I am not sure I even installed it correctly. I have no idea how to run it, and all the help files ive seen are above the true novice level. Is there a complete walkthrough? I downloaded wine to my desktop (latest Ubuntu release) and managed to install it using the ./tools/wineinstall command. But after that...no idea what to do. It seems to have installed

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.

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

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

Spec::Rails people, I''m curious about: - model.should have(1).error_on(:attribute) displayed in the URL below: http://rspec.rubyforge.org/rspec-rails/1.2.2/classes/Spec/Rails/Exten... The Rspec peepcode screencast suggests that model.should have(1).error_on(:attribute) should pass if model.send(:attribute) returns nil For me, I get an exception from the rspec script. My work-around is

I found myself blocked trying to think of Restful ways of doing things, until I subscribed to the peepcode screencast. Even so, I prefer using regular controllers in the initial stages when evolution of model relationships is not clear in the project. Is this the right way to do things ? I noticed the edge version now uses Restful design by default (in scaffolds, etc). This may turn early
