Excellent, Keenan. I'd love to see what you're working on.

Re: Optional Observers With Rails 3 and RSpec

Jeffrey Chupp — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 09:24:15 -0000

Theon, that's a great point. I do keep observers on for acceptance testing. Your approach is a good example of how to accomplish this. Similarly, if you're using turnip, unless example.metadata[:turnip] would work fine.

For people using Cucumber, that's probably running in its own environment anyway and I'd discourage disabling observers at all in that environment.

I didn't realize ctrl-a was so useful. I was familiar with the incrementing version of it, but this behavior isn't one I was aware of. Thanks!
Because I use ctrl-a for tmux, I threw this in my vimrc to accomplish the same thing.

Re: Sleep helper for your request tests

I agree that there's value in doing true integration testing and this case makes some sense. Ultimately I don't know the domain well enough to pontificate about what you should do, and I trust you when you say the business value is high enough to pay that tax every time.

Re: Sleep helper for your request tests

Jeffrey Chupp — Tue, 01 May 2012 16:15:54 -0000

I guess I don't get the usecase. If you're talking to an external service, shouldn't it be stubbed? If you're talking to a local service, isn't there a chance it'll return in less than 30 seconds? And if so, wouldn't it be better to couple your sleep + print statements with an early return if some logic matches (i.e. some hybrid of wait_until and this method)?

Re: Sleep helper for your request tests

Jeffrey Chupp — Tue, 01 May 2012 15:23:00 -0000

I usually use wait_until to accomplish this. For instance, if I'm making an ajax call that ends up opening a modal:

wait_until { page.has_css?('.modal') }

IIRC, you can change the default timeout via Capybara.default_wait_time

Is there an easy way to start tmux with the 75%/25% split?

Re: semantic art - ruby - Killing is_paranoid

Jeffrey Chupp — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 21:19:18 -0000

It has been too long to say with certainty but I'm pretty sure that with_scope doesn't cancel out the default_scope. YMMV.

Re: semantic art - ruby - Killing is_paranoid

Jeffrey Chupp — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 19:54:22 -0000

Thanks, Matt. I sincerely appreciate it. And I definitely appreciated your help on the library.

The idea may not be flawed but I think it would almost have to be done as a native feature of the ORM to be maintainable long-term.

I'll be interested to see where default_scope goes in Rails 3.

And I'll likely still use it on non-critical internal projects. It just isn't worth supporting it for every use-case out there since I don't get any direct RIO from working on it. And while the hacker was educational, I hate having to keep punching AR until it quacks like everyone wants. :)

It certainly is possible to work around them, its just more hassle than it is worth to me.

Best of luck, and thanks.

Oh, and if you do come up with something you find satisfying, let me know and I'll gladly redirect people to it.

Re: semantic art - ruby - Comparing Thinking Sphinx And Acts As Ferret For Full-text Indexing In Rails

avsej, that would fall under the "The Level of Interaction with Rails" section: TS has no idea about your permissions unless you explicitly specify them as conditions.

Obviously, you could index the fields that relate to permissions and then specify those as conditions in your TS search... But YMMV depending on how complicated your permissions setup is.

Re: jdclayton.com » Using Multiple default_scopes on an ActiveRecord Model

Jeffrey Chupp — Tue, 26 May 2009 11:10:13 -0000

This is a good solution. I've been looking at adding similar functionality natively to is_paranoid, but I'm never 100% satisfied with the solution I come up with. I'll keep this in mind as I keep searching, but if you want to fork & patch the repo, this might be a good start.

One thing to keep in mind is that is_paranoid leverages with_exclusive_scope in a few places (xxx_with_destroyed, xxx_destroyed_only, delete_all, and restore, specifically), so the additional default_scope options won't apply there. If you're just using :order, though, that shouldn't really matter.

Jeffrey Chupp — Sun, 10 May 2009 20:23:18 -0000

Jason,

Thanks for your post! It finally motivated me to install postgres and test is_paranoid with it. Unfortunately, I can't replicate the problem you're describing. Can you post up a gist ( http://gist.github.com/ ) with the exact code necessary to produce the error (including the model involved)? I'd really appreciate the help.

Thanks, Pierre. I'm glad to know that someone else benefits from it!

Re: semantic art - ruby - Using default_scope to recreate acts_as_paranoid

To confirm: This was a problem with the specific gem version you are using and upgrading resolved it?

Re: semantic art - ruby - Using default_scope to recreate acts_as_paranoid

Jeffrey Chupp — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 09:14:39 -0000

what version of AR are you using? I can't seem to replicate this. Can you write a test that shows the success of the first post and failure of the is_paranoid post?

Thanks! I'll look into this soon

Re: semantic art - ruby - Using default_scope to recreate acts_as_paranoid

Jeffrey Chupp — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 16:37:21 -0000

Just found an easier way to do this that makes me feel silly for not thinking about it before now. just specify a scope on the vu like so:

class Android < ActiveRecord::Base
validates_uniqueness_of :name, :scope => :deleted_at
is_paranoid
end

should work fine
