rails_test_box_prepackaged

# MAKE SURE YOU HAVE VIRTUAL BOX INSTALLED http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
# 
# Copy paste this file in your terminal
# The following will create a dir which contains the rails repo. 
# You can start edit this later on. It will also create a Gemfile and a Vagrantfile. 
# It will run bundle and it will # download and activate the virtualbox that contains 
# everything you need to start # testing.

      mkdir rails_test_box
      cd rails_test_box
      git clone git://github.com/rails/rails.git

      echo 'source :rubygems
      group :virtualbox do
        gem "vagrant", "0.3.0"
        gem "virtualbox", "0.6.0"
      end' > Gemfile

      bundle install

      bundle exec vagrant box add rails_test_box http://files.cookiestack.com/rails_test_env.box
    
      echo 'Vagrant::Config.run do |config|
        config.vm.share_folder("rails", "rails", "rails")
        config.vm.box = "rails_test_box"
      end' > Vagrantfile
    
      bundle exec vagrant up
      bundle exec vagrant ssh

# Now you are in the Virtualbox. All you need to do now is go into the rails directory, 
# run bundle install and your # ready to test! If you want to test it for 1.9.1, you 
# have to change to it using rvm and do a bundle install again. To # summarize:

      cd rails
      bundle install
      # to run all tests
      rake
      
      
      
      # to switch to 1.9.1 use the following commands. For more options `rvm usage`
      rvm 1.9.1-p376
