In this document I am using Sass's SCSS syntax. You can choose to use the indented syntax
in sass, if you prefer it, it has no functional differences from the SCSS syntax.
For Less, I'm using the JavaScript version because this is what they suggest on the website.
The ruby version may be different.
Testing front-end for a Sinatra app with RSpec and Capybara
Testing front-end for a Sinatra app with RSpec and Capybara
I've used Cucumber quite a bit on my last job. It's an excellent tool, and I believe readable tests are the way to the future. But I could never get around to write effective scenarios, or maintain the boatload of text that the suite becomes once you get to a point where you have decent coverage. On top of that, it didn't seem to take much for the suite to become really slow as tests were added.
A while ago I've seen a gist by Lachie Cox where he shows how to use RSpec and Capybara to do front-end tests. That sounded perfect for me. I love RSpec, I can write my own matchers when I need them with little code, and it reads damn nicely.
So for my Rails Rumble 2010 project, as usual, I rolled a Sinatra app and figured I should give the idea a shot. Below are my findings.
How to use Rails 3.0's new notification system to inject custom log events
Instrument Anything in Rails 3
With Rails 3.0 released a few weeks ago I've migrated a few apps and I'm constantly finding useful new improvements. One such improvement is the ability to log anything in the same way that Rails internally logs ActiveRecord and ActionView. By default Rails 3 logs look slightly spiffier than those produced by Rails 2.3: (notice the second line has been cleaned up)
