ALE + Solargraph autocomplete
" I believe this to be the minimum necessary config
" to get ALE + Solargraph running with autocomplete.

" You must install the solargraph gem. Ideally you'll
" install to system gems so that solargraph is available

" You may also want to run `solargraph config` from the

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

Headless integration testing of facebook dialogs with capybara-webkit

## Most important settings

Create a new facebook app (1) and make sure the canvas url (2) in the basic tab matches the host and port configured with Capybara.server_port and Capybara.app_host. Activating sandbox mode (3) in the advanced tab enables you to roll without providing an SSL canvas url. You want to set the display mode (4) of your facebook dialogs to page, which is also the default.
