Rails Rspec model testing skeleton & cheat sheet using rspec-rails, shoulda-matchers, shoulda-callbacks, and factory_girl_rails. Pretty much a brain dump of examples of what you can (should?) test in a model. Pick & choose what you like, and please let me know if there are any errors or new/changed features out there. Reddit comment thread: http…
# This is a skeleton for testing models including examples of validations, callbacks,
# scopes, instance & class methods, associations, and more.
# Pick and choose what you want, as all models don't NEED to be tested at this depth.
#
# I'm always eager to hear new tips & suggestions as I'm still new to testing,
# so if you have any, please share!
#
# @kyletcarlson
#
# This skeleton also assumes you're using the following gems:
require 'rails_helper'
RSpec.describe TodosController, :type => :controller do
describe "GET #index" do
#describe "POST #create" do
#describe "GET #show" do
#describe "PATCH #update" do (or PUT #update)
#describe "DELETE #destroy" do
#describe "GET #new" do

Generating PDFs in Ruby, using Ferrum gem on Heroku

Generating PDFs in Ruby, using Ferrum gem on Heroku

by Bjorn Forsberg

Ferrum is a pure Ruby gem, providing a high-level API to control Chrome, which runs headless by default. Ferrum is a great alternative to Node's Puppeteer library, which is a pain to use with Ruby and Heroku.

Ferrum can be used for any browser scripting work, as well as for generating screenshots and PDFs. We use it mainly for PDF generation, hosted on Heroku, and the setup flow goes like this:

  1. Add Chromium locally if not already done: brew install chromium
