Yo guys... I''m starting to get into testing my current e-commerce Rails app before I Engine-ify it...(Codename "Substruct" - don''t sleep!) I''ve got some data that should be loaded before each test. Convention tells me that I should prepare this data in nice YML files as fixtures, although I''m not quite so sure.

But - a role is really a first class citizen also, so a model is in order. The problem with making a "role" model which has_many "users"

Hello, Is there an easy way to test hiera lookup for a node? A node is not getting the value I expect from Hiera and I want a way to test this. I noticed that `hiera` has an option called `-i` to use the Puppet inventory service. With the latest (RC4 I believe) of Hiera I''m getting the following when I try to use that though: Puppet inventory service lookup failed: NoMethodError:

I have updated to latest Unicode hacks plugin and now it fails when rails are started ....

Or can I send it a

Hi, I''m building an application which is going to require quite fine grained access control. Deciding if a user is allowed to access an action will probably require checking quite number of different rules, so a simple role-based system won''t be flexible enough. The approach I think I will try first is, if it''s possible, to ignore permission issues inside the
