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.

# 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!

15 Questions to Ask During a Ruby Interview

Originally published in June 2008

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.

Replace something in every HTML file (alternative to sed)
### Perform a search and replace from the commandline
$ vim -c '%s`search`replace`g' -c 'wq' *.html
### Alternatively, load all your files into vim and use bufdo. Allows you to tweak your search pattern before running the replacement:
$ vim *.html
/search
:bufdo %s``replace`g

Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = [email protected]:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

A nice delete confirmation modal in Rails courtesy of Bootstrap. Now remote.

Here's what you get.

Some CoffeeScript (verbosely commented for clarity)

# Override Rails handling of confirmation

$.rails.allowAction = (element) ->
  # The message is something like "Are you sure?"
  message = element.data('confirm')
