- see test_helper ActionController::TestCase for JSON.parse refactoring - Need to reload the idea on an update ex: ideas(:one).reload before assertions - see the idea.rb for validating inclusions - head :no_content in delete action on ideas_controller? - include Rails.application.routes.url_helper in integration tests? - Does declaring vars at the top of a file give them global scope? Or is it for readability? - event.preventDefault(); ? - see the hassles of asynchronous code and multiple threats (complicated testing) - IdeaRepository.all - is this Lo-Dash?
