Re: Rails Upgrade - 7-Step Practical Guide

CI is good, but I also want to see coverage before I start (use simplecov). It'll give you an idea of any danger spots in your app code, where the coverage is lacking. You can either improve test coverage before you start, or write some good feature/acceptance tests to cover anything critical in those danger areas.

If you want to know if you have an abandoned well near you, WIMBY (Wells In My Back Yard) is a *free* app I created to help.

Using the headless gem is perhaps easier. It wraps xvfb. You can detect Jenkins like this in your spec_helper

if ENV['BUILD_NUMBER']
require 'headless'
headless = Headless.new
headless.start
end

This seems to be working from the currently released gem now.

As one of the panelists from the "Women In Rails" panel at RailsConf 2009, I just want to state for the record...

If you aren't part of the solution, then you ARE part of the problem.

Thanks for coming forward, and being part of the solution!!!

I concur with the previous comment. This was precisely what I was looking for this morning. What a time-saver! Thanks.

That looks pretty useful. We have a whole subset of tasks that would benefit. Thanks for sharing!

When I was a Windows user, I used WinMerge... until a coworker introduced me to BeyondCompare. Since I moved to a Mac, BeyondCompare is the only tool that I couldn't find a good replacement for. I miss it still.

Re: What's New in Edge Rails: Dynamic Scope Methods

I like the idea, but I'd like to see it work with, say, will_paginate, in a seemless manner as well. That way I could seemlessly filter a list.

Re: Vi Rules!

wndxlori — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 18:14:42 -0000

We both do, I guess. Vi comes pre-installed, but every time I log in to a new machine, and try to do something simple like edit my .profile, I yell loudly if emacs isn't there... so he has to install it for me ;-)

My husband is a sysadmin, and I am a developer. We re-enact the Vi vs Emacs war every time we get a new server.

Whatever you changed seems to have fixed my problem. I updated to the new release and it works. Still would be nice to have an active mailing list for this, though.

Is there a mailing list/google group or anything else for this oracle-enhanced adapter yet? Because the 1.1.3 release broke all my functional tests (bad stuff in "quote" method), and I'd like to figure out if it's a problem in my fixtures or a problem in the adapter.

Re: How to setup Ruby and Oracle client on Intel Mac « ray_apps_blog

wndxlori — Sun, 23 Sep 2007 22:37:00 -0000

Note that you can use Locomotive (http://locomotive.raaum.org/) with a PPC bundle, on your Intel Mac, and just add the Oracle PPC Instant Client, and compile in the OCI8 driver, and you are good to go. It's a little simpler than this. I've been working with this setup for about 18 months now, and it works for me.

People have been asking for Intel Mac Oracle drivers for a lot longer than the thread you posted (Mar 2007) indicates. This was posted by one of my coworkers in Apr 2006 - http://forums.oracle.com/fo...

Re: Flickr Imposes New Limits

wndxlori — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 16:22:01 -0000

You need to understand the scalability limitations of HTML, before you start dishing out the slags. Next time you look at an individual photo with one tag in Flickr, do a view source and save the file. Then go find a photo with 75 tags, and do the same thing. Compare the file sizes. The scaling problem has nothing to do with bad coding. It has to do with the size of the HTML being pushed out for one single photo. Many-more-tags mean lots-more-HTML means slow-as-molasses.
