TDD, Under Your Fingers

March 13th, 2009

TDD and scalability come hand-in-hand

…but you still have to be skilled and fast at dropping this code. Being productive in TDD is hard in the begging because it’s a different coding approach all together and you need to get in the “routine”.

Corey Haines makes a good point on his ACC2009 Lightning Talk

rake features Error (missing gem_original_require)

Issue

While running “rake features” I encountered a problem. Something about a missing “gem_original_require”.

Missing these required gems:
rspec-rails

Error

/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require': no such 

file to load -- spec/rails (MissingSourceFile)

Bash Script to Load Common Ruby on Rails Tasks

Awesome time-saving script

Here’s a bash script (sh) that will help you setup your rails session by automatically loading up a terminal with several useful rails tabs. The script below will open the /script/console, development log, sql lite, IRB and the /script/server.

Save the script below to a file in your linux box and run it like this:

sh “file-name.sh” /complete/dir/path/to-your-rails-project/ 


#!/bin/bash
DIR="${1}"

if [ ! -d "${DIR}" ]; then
echo "Error: Use full directory path:"
  echo "${0} file-name.sh /some/path/to/dir"
  exit 1
fi

gnome-terminal --window --working-directory=${DIR} -t "Server" -e "script/server" \
               --tab --working-directory=${DIR} -t "Console" -e "script/console" \
               --tab --working-directory=${DIR} -t "DBConsole" -e "script/dbconsole" \
               --tab --working-directory=${DIR} -t "IRB" -e "irb" \
               --tab --working-directory=${DIR} -t "Dev Log" -e "tail -f log/development.log" \
               --tab --working-directory=${DIR} -t "Terminal" &
