RSpec Helper Example

Here's an example of a rspec test helper that will let you sign in as a given user.

Create spec/support/helpers/authentication.rb with the following:

module Helpers
  module Authentication
    def sign_in_as(user)

# 1) Create your private key (any password will do, we remove it below)

$ cd ~/.ssh
$ openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.orig.key 2048


# 2) Remove the password

$ openssl rsa -in server.orig.key -out server.key

# Call scopes directly from your URL params:

#     @products = Product.filter(params.slice(:status, :location, :starts_with))
module Filterable
  extend ActiveSupport::Concern

  module ClassMethods
    
    # Call the class methods with names based on the keys in <tt>filtering_params</tt>
    # with their associated values. For example, "{ status: 'delayed' }" would call

When hiring Ruby on Rails programmers, knowing the right questions to ask during an interview was a real challenge for me at first. In 30 minutes or less, it's difficult to get a solid read on a candidate's skill set without looking at code they've previously written. And in the corporate/enterprise world, I often don't have access to their previous work.

To ensure we hired competent ruby developers at my last job, I created a list of 15 ruby questions -- a ruby measuring stick if you will -- to select the cream of the crop that walked through our doors.

What to expect

Candidates will typically give you a range of responses based on their experience and personality. So it's up to you to decide the correctness of their answer.

Object.assign = function( O, dictionary ) {
  var target, src;

  // Let target be ToObject(O).
  target = Object( O );

  // Let src be ToObject(dictionary).
  src = Object( dictionary );

  // For each own property of src, let key be the property key

#macro(VelListToJSON $list )
	#set($myList = $list )## dereference
	{
	#foreach($key in $myList.keySet())
		"$key":
		#set($x = $myList.get($key))
		#VelToJSON($x)
		#if($foreachCount != $myList.keySet().size()) , #end
	#end
	}
