A lot of these are outright stolen from Edward O'Campo-Gooding's list of questions. I really like his list.

I'm having some trouble paring this down to a manageable list of questions -- I realistically want to know all of these things before starting to work at a company, but it's a lot to ask all at once. My current game plan is to pick 6 before an interview and ask those.

I'd love comments and suggestions about any of these.

I've found questions like "do you have smart people? Can I learn a lot at your company?" to be basically totally useless -- everybody will say "yeah, definitely!" and it's hard to learn anything from them. So I'm trying to make all of these questions pretty concrete -- if a team doesn't have an issue tracker, they don't have an issue tracker.

I'm also mostly not asking about principles, but the way things are -- not "do you think code review is important?", but "Does all code get reviewed?".

puts "hi"

a = [4,3,2]

a.each do |each_argument|
  puts each_argument
end

If you're getting the error(see the image below) - Bad wkhtmltopdf's path: /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf when using the wkhtmltopdf gem in your rails app to convert an HTML page to a PDF file. Following the below steps should help you get it working on your machine -

We need to first locate the bin file that converts HTML to pdf. This usually is present inside your wkhtmltopdf gem. For me this was located at - /Users/my_user_name/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2@gemset_name/gems/wkhtmltopdf-0.1.2/bin
If you're using a mac, you'd need the darwin version of the bin file. Do a sudo cp wkhtmltopdf_darwin_386 /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf.
- This copies the bin from within the gem directory to the location where all local system bin files are generally present.
Please note: If you're using the another OS, you'd need to copy the appropriate bin file wrt the OS that you're using.

Steps -

Create the filename.rb file for which you’d like to create a filename_spec.rb
Run the command rspec --init from the same working directory as to where you have filename.rb
the above command will create a .rspec file for you
It will create a new spec directory within which you need to place your specs
It will create spec_helper.rb where you need continually require the ruby files that you would want to write specs for
Create the filename_spec.rb within the spec directory
[optional] Edit the .rspec file to add the option: --format documentation
The above addition gives your running tests more readability as to what they do or what they stand for when they are run.
