Autotest until recently only had one flaw: it could not be used for large test suites, since after each red-green cycle I had to wait x minutes for all tests to pass, which made autotest really frustrating.
So grep autotest (the ‘without ZenTest version’) from github and enjoy “autotest -c” (also works with auospec).
And remember kids: always run autospec with script/spec_server and its twice the fun 😉
Starting with the Railscasts episode on passenger I tried to get passenger working for development, since it removes the burden of always starting an extra console for the server and reveals errors that happen in passenger and not in mongel alone.
Apache should use the same group/user you use, otherwise you may get an 302 not allowed error, this can be changed in /etc/apach2/apache2.conf (User / Group).
httpd.conf
#/ets/apacha2/httpd.conf # /apps is the folder where your projects lie # I name them all *.lc so i can easily distinguish them from a live application # if you use subdomains add the *. before the servername (example 1) <Directory "/apps"> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> <Directory "/apps"> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAlias *.dw.lc PassengerPoolIdleTime 1800 RailsEnv development DocumentRoot /apps/someproject/public </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAlias rs.lc PassengerPoolIdleTime 1800 RailsEnv development DocumentRoot /apps/anotherproject/public </VirtualHost>
hosts file
#/ets/hosts 127.0.0.1 de.dw.lc en.dw.lc fr.dw.lc 127.0.0.1 rs.lc 127.0.0.1 localhost ...
restart apache
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Hope it works for you 😉
All of the sudden some columns began to misbehave in cucumber tests, claiming that “Attempt to call private method (NoMethodError)” on normal column attributes!
A simple fix for this, essentially saying that a method is not private when its a column:
#features/support/ar_private_fix.rb required from env.rb
unless ActiveRecord::Base.methods.include?('private_method_defined_with_fix?')
class ActiveRecord::Base
class << self
def private_method_defined_with_fix?(method)
return false if columns_hash.keys.include?(method.to_s)
private_method_defined_without_fix?(method)
end
alias_method_chain :private_method_defined?, :fix
end
end
end
config.logger = Logger.new(config.log_path, 3, 10 * 1024**2)
Logfiles can get 10mb big, than they will be renamed to e.g. production.log.0 and if there are more than 3 of them they get deleted.
Maximum filesystem usage: 30mb
An alternative is using logrotate which is a harder to setup and maintain, but offers more options.
Just my collection, so you do not need to find it out on your own 😉
