In tracking down a bug in AuthLogic I realized that I had made the same error in one of my libraries. Knowing what the error was made creating a test to expose it (using cucumber) rather trivial. However, it has occurred to me that this sort of issue is far more subtle than I first appreciated. So, I am looking for some opinions on how to test for this sort of thing in a more general sense.

Greetings, This, I hope, is a simply answered question. Based on Agile Web Development with Rails (depot application), I''m developing a single table application for contact info.

Hello! I experienced problems with testing transactions which are supposed to be rolled back, but are not, because of transactional fixtures eliminating the inner transaction. Can this be worked around somehow without turning off transactional fixtures? Maybe savepoints can help this? Does anyone have any experience with savepoints to achieve nested transaction functionality? Both Postgres

I have 2 models, entity and client. Entity has_one client and client belongs_to entity. Entity has attributes name and legal_name. Entity also has an unique index on (lower(name)). The pKey for both is the conventional Rails id. Client has a fKey constraint on entity_id and is indexed in entity_id.

When I''m executing cucumber tests, I noticed that sometimes rails app (in test env.) getting several the same requests (GET or POST) usually around 3, and it doesn''t render anything with empty HTTP status code.

I have a defective HP-Compaq nx9420 and so I am looking to replace it. I have pretty much decided to buy no further MicroSoft based products and would very much like to hear recommendations for a suitable notebook host to provide me with Linux based alternative. Given that all the basic functionality required is provided, the main thing that I am looking for is reliability of the host itself. I

Hi, I''m absolutely new to centralized server management, sorry sorry in advance for any stupid remarks. Looking on the puppet documentation, I mainly find a lot of info about how to manage the config files, but nothing about centralized control.

I''m stymied at how to create a fixture that establishes a has_many :through relationship. I''ve watched the railscast at: http://media.railscasts.com/videos/081_fixtures_in_rails_2.mov ... but that''s for HABTM relationships. I''ve read: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/145676 but that ultimately doesn''t answer any question. So with no further ado:
