elight / user.rb

Created December 3, 2010 19:15

Handling case sensitivity with Devise

	class User < ActiveRecord::Base
	before_save do
	self.email.downcase! if self.email
	end

	def self.send_reset_password_instructions(attributes={})
	attributes[:email].downcase!
	super(attributes)
	end
	end

elight / find_a_bad_backtrace.rb

Created December 15, 2010 19:17

Coulda sometimes generates a backtrace that ends in a shared step instead of tracing back to the calling test. Sadly, this gist has been unable to replicate that behavior.

	require 'rubygems'
	require 'coulda'
	require 'raise_from_module'

	Feature "Experimenting with Coulda" do
	extend RaiseFromModule

	def self.given_i_raise
	Given "I raise an Exception" do
	raise Exception, "testing from Coulda"
