# This is working in a Rails 3/1.9.2 app
# For using Capybara in Test/Unit Integration tests -- majority of this taken from the tartare-rails gem
# Make sure you have the capybara gem installed -- gem install capybara
# You can also create a folder: Rails_root/test/integration/helpers and place Files within to abstract some of the Capybara steps....

# I struggled with getting a fading flash[:notice] that would work both with standard served pages as well
# as ajax requests. I saw a number of posts online but did not have luck with or they seemed too 
# complicated. This is what I ended up with from experimentation.

# Place the following code in application_helper.rb. Note that you need to either change or name your
# containers as I have in this code:

# application_helper.rb
module ApplicationHelper

# the point of this is to add simple lookup table-like values to an AR model or really any other rails class.
# it assumes that if you have a lookup named :some_lookup that the model will have a :some_lookup_id field

# EXAMPLE:

class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Lookup

 lookup_for :function_type do
    [

# config/initializers/app_config.rb

APP_CONFIG = AppConfig.new(YAML.load_file("#{Rails.root}/config/application.yml")[Rails.env])


# then you have application.yml or whatever you want to call it:

# config/application.yml (or some better name)
development:
  <<: *defaults

require 'spec_helper'

  # in theory this should work with an active record query or whatever code returning an appropriate array
  # of hashes in the result in the block passed, but not going this far to test right now
