Rails Rspec APIs Testing Notes

Folders Structure

  spec
  |--- apis #do not put into controllers folder. 
        |--- your_api_test_spec.rb  
  |--- controllers
  |--- models
  |--- factories
 |--- views

Build your own private, encrypted, open-source Dropbox-esque sync folder

Prerequisites:

One or more clients running a UNIX-like OS. Examples are given for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, although all software components are available for other platforms as well (e.g. OS X). YMMV
A cheap Ubuntu 12.04 VPS with storage. I recommend Backupsy, they offer 250GB storage for $5/month. Ask Google for coupon codes.

Software components used:

Unison for file synchronization
EncFS for folder encryption

	# RSpec 2.0 syntax Cheet Sheet by http://ApproachE.com

	# defining spec within a module will automatically pick Player::MovieList as a 'subject' (see below)
	module Player
	describe MovieList, "with optional description" do

	it "is pending example, so that you can write ones quickly"

	it "is already working example that we want to suspend from failing temporarily" do
	pending("working on another feature that temporarily breaks this one")
