I have a question regarding best practices around module and plugin testing for rails applications. In our application we have created several plugins that extend ActiveRecord::Base with class methods, that when invoked in a model add behavior to that model. For example ... class SomeModel < ActiveRecord::Base adds_some_cool_behavior adds_another_wicked_sweet_behavior end My

Dear Rusers, I tried to implement a function comparing mean scores between one subject (the patient) and a group a control subjects. The function returns attended results, but I also obtained the following warning : Warning message: the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used in: if (substr(fp, 1, 1) == "<") fp else paste("=", fp) Maybe

Dear useRs, I have written a function that implements a Bayesian method to compare a patient's score on two tasks with that of a small control group, as described in Crawford, J. and Garthwaite, P. (2007). Comparison of a single case to a control or normative sample in neuropsychology: Development of a bayesian approach. Cognitive Neuropsychology, 24(4):343?372. The function (see

Hi, rather than flooding this list with separate emails, I''ve been queueing up questions using rspec with rails. (an irc channel would be nice too :) Here ya go... - Is there a way to test named routes? - Could I get an example how to test an ajax request (link_to_remote)? would that go in view? and/or in controller spec? - Can you assert which layout template is rendered in a

Hi, Have just recently downloaded R version 2.14.1 and can't install packages (Code below), 32bit version on windows. From the looks of things access is the problem but I don't know where to start, would it be my system that is the problem or is the repository not set up for the latest version yet? Any ideas on how to rectify the problem would be greatly appreciated Cheers >

I am trying to set up Samba for the very first time in my life on a SlackWare Linux 7.1 system. I'm using kernel 2.4.2, and the Samba 2.0.7 that comes precompiled with Slackware 7. I'm only moderately clueful at this point, but I have experience with other Linux and networking stuff. I can build Samba from sources if you think that would help. I ran through the diagnostic tests given

I am having trouble doing the following. I have a data.frame like this, where x and y are a variable that I want to do calculations on: Name Year x y ab 2001 15 3 ab 2001 10 2 ab 2002 12 8 ab 2003 7 10 dv 2002 10 15 dv 2002 3 2 dv 2003 1 15 Before I do all the other things I need to do with this data, I need to summarize or collapse the data by name and year. I've

Folks, I'm trying to configure my dovecot installation to require client certificates for external/Internet connections, while still allowing my local network to not need certificates. This configuration is for Dovecot 2 (2.0.8 in Fedora 14), and I've tried to use the "remote" block to give different definitions for my local network vs the defaults. While most options seem to

G'day, I'm using a cvs version from a few days ago, and I've just installed The Sims and its Livin' Large and House Party extensions with minimal fuss (the icons were missing in the first setup/autorun screens). Trying to run the program, it displays a dialog with the title "A debugger has been detected" and the text "Unload the debugger and try again". So,

Thanks for the interest, Michael. I don't use Ogg, so I'm a little wary that standard FLAC would be left out of any Ogg Frog implementation. But I say that mostly out of ignorance. I have noticed that there seem to be two worlds for FLAC, inside Ogg and outside. It's important to be aware of the fact that many hardware devices support the FLAC format directly, without the

RSpeckers: I''m trying to install this into a Merb-generated RSpec rig: http://code.jeremyevans.net/doc/fixture_dependencies/ It requires inserting their test case into RSpec. This is the documented way to do it: describe ''Post'' do inherit FixtureDependencies::SequelTestCase And that leads to the syntax error in the subject line. (No stack trace is available

How can I suppress a legend in a barplot when I'm plotting factors? Here's what I'm doing, x and y are both factors: plot(x,y) This gives me a barplot with a legend where I don't want it. My best solution so far is plot(x,y,legend=F) which just gives me an error message and doesn't finish the plot, but at least it doesn't put the legend on. Then I can go back and add

I'd like to ask what you all would think of me upgrading the libvorbis doc from whatever version of DocBook it presently uses to DocBook 5.0. There are three good reasons: - It supports XML namespaces, so you can embed stuff like Scalable Vector Graphics and MathML right into your DocBook source. - DocBook 5.0 uses Relax NG Schemas. This is a far, far better specification language than

Hey Everyone, Is it good practice to call matchers from within matchers? Kinda like this pattern: See: http://gist.github.com/570467 -- Brian

I was trying out RSpec framework in a project and got stopped doing the unit test of a model. In particular, doing the test for the associations and the ActiveRecord validations. I started writing the validations but my tests didn''t look DRY at all. Before refactoring the tests checked out and look for other people solutions. I found out shoulda-matchers and Shoulda (which if I
