woods / 1_routing_spec.rb
Last active December 16, 2015 11:19
This is the most succinct style I can come up with for writing routing specs.
require 'component/component_spec_helper'
describe "Routing", type: :routing do
describe "for the home page" do
specify {{ get: '/' }.should route_to('lists#index') }
end
describe "for authentication" do
specify {{ get: '/auth/new' }.should route_to('sessions#new') }
specify {{ get: '/auth/37signals/callback' }.should route_to('sessions#create', provider: '37signals') }
specify {{ get: '/auth/failure' }.should route_to('sessions#failure') }

Load just the models and lib of a Rails project. This can be useful for model/component/service specs that depend on ActiveRecord, but no other part of Rails. Running the tests in this fashion helps to make sure you don't introduce any other Rails dependencies into your code, and it helps those tests to load a few seconds faster since we're not …
require 'bundler/setup'
require 'active_support'
require 'active_support/dependencies'
ActiveSupport::Dependencies.autoload_paths += %w{ app/models lib }
require 'active_record'
db_config = YAML.load_file('config/database.yml')
ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(db_config['test'])

Example script to set a dynamic record in DNSimple based on the current cable modem address. This can be run in /etc/cron.hourly.
#!/bin/bash
#
# Since paig is on a dynamic IP address cable modem, we use this script to
# periodically update DNS with the current record. In this case, we're using
# the hostname paig.2surfers.com.
#
# Keep the contents of this file secret, since it contains the domain's API
# key. The ID of the record to be updated by hovering over it in DNSimple's
# web interface.
