Hey list, I''m refactoring some much-used functionality into a common_steps step group. Methods like this are in there: steps_for :common do Given "a number of existing $types?" do |type| @initial_item_count = type.singularize.classify.constantize.count end When "the user adds an invalid $type" do |type| post

I''m not sure how much test data I should be using in my specs. I''m writing specs for the Property model in my Rails app. Its "address" attribute is going to be validated with this regex: /\A\d+[a-z]? [-'', a-z]{2,128}\Z/i At the moment, my plan is to spec out the following possibilities. A property is invalid if its address: 1) doesn''t begin with

I am pleased to announce that Radiant CMS is now publically available from the Subversion repository at: http://radiantcms.org/ What is Radiant? ---------------- Radiant is a no-fluff, open source content management system designed for small teams.

Hi, I have created and now maintain the website ratsdeville.com (http:// ratsdeville.com/index_e.html for english) for my brother. He creates more and more content for it each week and I''m seriously feeling the pain now archiving everything manually and making sure that links works once items are archived (which I lost control of). Like you can see, it is basically a news site about art

Hi all, I've been working on improving R's optim() command, which does general purpose unconstrained optimization. Obviously, this is important for many statistics computations, such as maximum likelihood, method of moments, etc. I have focused my efforts of the BFGS method, mainly because it best matches my current projects. Here's a quick summary of what I've done: *

Hi all, I have a very quick question on how to use the summation sign in R for the function. Here?s a basic example: the function is sum(i=1 to 5)log(1-xi^2) Id be grateful if someone knows how to do this without writing it out 5 times - I am looking sth along the lines of the following: computeR <- function(x) { return (-sum(log(1-x^2)) }^ thank you vm in advance! -- View this

Hi all. If I run rake features or cucumber features/* I get one failing FIT scenario in one of my features. If I then run that feature that contains the FIT table with the failing scenario manually, it passes. I run it again with rake features or cucumber features/* it fails, run individually, it passes. Obviously some state is carrying over between the features. Any idea where i would start

I am looking for a good CMS based on Rails that has at least these attributes: 1. Ease of use ( as it will be used by people who are not html literate) 2. Very easy/flexible to change layout. So far I have looked at http://rcms.oopen.de/Home/ (have not installed it yet) http://adminpages.flowdev.de http://demo.radiantcms.org/admin/pages http://www.eribium.org/eribium/ MuraveyWeb does not seem

Hello fellow RSpec users. Before you all start warming up your flame throwers please let me explain my Subject line. I''ve been working over 4 months on a large Rails project with a few other developers. Test coverage was spotty at best, though they *were* RSpec tests. One of the other developers and I had started adding more tests, mostly controller tests using the methodology

What do you think are the best examples of open source rails apps? I keep a copy of typo trunk around just to look at the code to see how they''ve solved a problem. Do you know other apps that you consider particularly well written? Thanks -- - Stephen Bannasch Concord Consortium, http://www.concord.org

Hey guys RoR evangelists keep telling us that they have the #1 framework for developing webapps. OK, but show us something that works and is useful to many people out there. I could be wrong, but it doesn''t seem as if there is anything that qualifies, as yet? So I''ve got a little challenge for you: come up with a decent plugin WYSIWYG visual editor for CMS. There are several

This is related to Selenium/Watir usage along side webrat in story testing. MHS_Testing and Rspec-ui provide some great help for testing through frameworks like Selenium/Watir. But there is something missing, Webrat has changed the landscape somewhat with Acceptance Tests/Story Driven development. Now I have a choice: 1. Tests and rails process run as one test process (Webrat) 2. Use

Hi The code I''m working on now is a server daemon that talks to Twitter, an RSS feed, and some web pages. I''ve got mock implementations of Twitter and the web stuff, which I start and stop with daemon_controller[1]. I do all the setup in a Before block, but this makes the feature runs agonisingly slow due to the time waiting for everything to restart. I''m

What''s the best way to test the flash when you use flash#now ? For example, if I set the flash in my controller: flash.now[:notice] = ''This will only show up on this action.'' How do I test it? Normally I would do: assert_equal ''This will only show up on this action.'', flash[:notice] But this doesn''t seem to work with flash.now. Any
