Continuous CoffeeScript testing with Guard and Jasmine

This Gist shows how to set up a Rails project to practice BDD with CoffeeScript, Guard and Jasmine. You can see this setup in action on Vimeo

Install Gems with Bundler with bundle install
Define your guards with mate Guardfile
Initialize Jasmine with bundle exec jasmine init
Configure Jasmine with mate spec/support/yasmine.ym
Start Guard with bundle exec guard

Sass/Less Comparison

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.

StillMaintained status buttons

Nice status buttons you can add to your README file in your Github repositories to show your project’s current status, fetched from StillMaintained:

For a live demo, check out StillMaintained’s own README.

	require 'rubygems'
	require 'mail'
	require 'savon'

	# I needed to send "SOAP with Attachments" and found soap4r too horrible.
	# Since I saw no support for it in Savon I tried to hack something together
	# to see if it could be done. I share that messy code here

	# this is updated for Savon 0.8.1

	// If you don't use underscore.js, use it (http://documentcloud.github.com/underscore/)
	// Then, use underscore's mixin method to extend it with all your other utility methods
	// like so:
	_.mixin({
	escapeHtml: function () {
	return this.replace(/&/g,'&')
	.replace(/>/g,'>')
	.replace(/</g,'<')
	.replace(/"/g,'"')
	.replace(/'/g,''');

	# switch to a rvm provided ruby version - creating a new gemset just to separate things
	rvm --create 1.8.7@rjb-test

	# then install rjb, this should work fine, installing rjb 1.3.1
	gem install rjb

	# now start ruby and require "rjb"
	ruby -e 'require "rubygems"; require "rjb"'

	# this should result in ruby terminating with the following message:

	# In Gemfile
	gem 'savon', :git => 'http://github.com/rubiii/savon.git', :branch => 'eight'
	gem 'httpclient'

	# Run this in the console to fetch the name and address of the first debtor
	client = Savon::Client.new do
	wsdl.document = "https://www.e-conomic.com/secure/api1/EconomicWebservice.asmx?WSDL"
	end

	// Backbone.Rails.js

	// Makes Backbone.js play nicely with the default Rails setup, i.e.,
	// no need to set
	// ActiveRecord::Base.include_root_in_json = false
	// and build all of your models directly from `params` rather than
	// `params[:model]`.
	//
	// Load this file after backbone.js and before your application JS.
