Monkey patching rake for use with TeamCity

We use Ruby’s rake as our build automation tool. It provides a nice, XML-free way to define logical groupings of steps to perform, with dependency resolution. We use JetBrain’s TeamCity as our continuous integration server. It has a neat feature that provides real-time reporting of build progress...

PTOM: OCP revisited in Ruby

I was playing with some Ruby code this weekend and thought I would show some OCP with Ruby . For more of an in-depth discussion on OCP please read my previous post . Now the first thing I want to point out is that dynamic languages are naturally by default open for extension. Since the types are dynamic...

Using Context as an example group in rSpec

If you try to do the following in rSpec you will receive a (nil:NilClass) error on the inner context in the 'before' statement when it tries to use @user. describe User do before(:each) do @user = User. new end context "(adding assigned role)" do before(:each) do @user.assign_role(...

Introducing ActiveSupport.NET

To my surprise, none of my googling seemed to come up with anyone doing this. So I figured I'd start it off (please let me know if you know of any other efforts already underway). As some would say, taking extension method abuse to a whole new level. :D But, I see these little utility methods to...

Working with ActiveRecord model classes outside of the Rails environment

I had a task yesterday that involved me wanting to dump some information about a Rails ActiveRecord class I had (don't ask, it's a long story). I wanted to access my AR class from outside the Rails web environment (i.e. I wanted to type 'ruby something' from the command line). I put a...

Ruby on Rails - WOW!

Okay, I've been hearing about Ruby and even went through the "Try Ruby" on hobbix walk-through . I've scripted in Python, another dynamic language, for my Linux bash scripts and I've also create a web site to interact with Amazon web services with IronPython (post coming soon on...

Agile Web Development with Rails - Chapter 5

What! You tease me with code in Chapter 4 and now there is none in this chapter?!? Oh wait, I guess we should at least figure out what we want to build moving forward. :) Chapter 5 Well this chapter is all about doing some very high level use cases, page flows and a quick data diagram. It's just...

Agile Web Development with Rails - Chapter 4

Cool! Now I get to start building stuff. Chapter 4 I just pop open my kermit green command line window and type "rails demo". And BAM! We've got ourselves an application! Ok, so it might not do much yet. But it's given me a nice "filing cabinet" to keep everything organized...

Ruby, so easy a wife can do it

I just have to share this. So my wife asks me why I'm learning this new thing called Ruby. She's usually not interested in the specifics of the programming languages I use. (A few years ago, she asked me, "what's that C-Pound book you're reading?" :) So I broke out a pen and...

Agile Web Development with Rails - Chapter 3

Hmm, well I've already zoomed through to chapter 8 in my actual reading/coding. Better start getting these notes cranked out. Oh, and why not purchase the book yourself and follow along. It'd be interesting to get comments from other folks who are currently going through the RoR learning experience...
