Hye, your useful plugin seems to broke simplelog application.

On a clean install of simplelog, installing the plugin broke 2 tests: testdestroypost and testauthordestroy. In fact, it seems to be related to the acts as taggable functionality. In the app, you cannot create or update any post anymore.

Did anyone reported this issue?

Yep - good point. I guess this is another reason I like my own solution to this problem (FixtureReplacement) rather than any static fixture, or scenario fixture plugin.

Scenarios are getting closer to the idea - that you have a different scenario for a different test case. But it also implies that many scenarios will be the same (a scenario will span test cases). No doubt, this is true, but how much mental overhead is required to remember the names of the fixtures, or the different scenarios present?

I couldn’t agree more with you - that clarity is king, and what is most clear is to define your “scenarios” inline - not externally, in some other file.

I have looked at Foxy Fixtures a bit but have not yet used them in a project. They certainly seem to address a number of issues.

I’ve found though that what I like most about inline fixtures is that they provide the exact context I need where I need it. External fixtures, foxy or not, seem so disconnected from the tests that I’m writing, like they are there own little world.

I enjoy this analysis of the testing problem. I’ve certainly experienced what you’ve mentioned:

“Instead Project B used the totally kick-ass Mocha library for all the tests. Objects were mocked or stubbed as needed. The big problem that Project B experienced was that there was easily twice the amount of test code than there was actual code because the test code was pretty much just duplicating all of the logic inside the regular code anyway”

This has driven me away from mocking/stubbing - it makes my tests completely unreadable.

What are your thoughts on the new Foxy Fixtures?

Thanks, Jonathan.

I found out that object.valid? validates the object. I was wondering why you included it, if you weren’t checking its value, but now I know that else object.validate wouldn’t be run.

Jonathan Younger — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 07:59:00 GMT

For the assert_no_errors_on method we are only checking if there are no errors on a particular attribute or set of attributes. The object may be valid but it is likely that it is not valid because other attributes that we are not checking may have errors.

If we did do “assert object.valid?” here we’d have to ensure that all attributes of the object were valid and not just the particular ones we are interested in testing at this time.

The reason why we wouldn’t want to ensure that all the attributes are valid here is for testing isolation. By being able to test each attribute independently of the others we can setup different tests for each attribute. I’ve updated the post to show an example of this.

Hope that helps and I’ve explained that well enough.

Thanks for this simple yet useful helper methods! I have one question though: shouldn’t line 9 be “assert object.valid?”.

I’m using a BASH shell with a custom prompt.

I have this in my ~/.bash_profile:

export PS1="*[1;37mRound*[31mHaus*[0m\w&gt; "

You can find more information about customizing shell prompts.

Regarding your note…

“Right now the only way to change the theme is to change it in the plugin code itself.”

You can actually change the default theme in environment.rb by adding the line (replacing newtheme with your favourite)…

SimpleHighlight::THEME = “newtheme”

This must be after the Rails::Initializer.run block (ie. after the plugin gets loaded).

Cheers (and thanks for the useful plug-in!)

Hi Boris,

You can download the Atom.framework from http://www.daikini.com/assets/Atom.tar.gz

It’s pretty old and I haven’t had need of it in quite some time but it should help you get started anyway.

Hey Jonathan, I was going to use your Atom.framework for some Cocoa development, but it looks like you revamped your site, and now the former link (http://www.daikini.com/source/atom.framework/) is a 404. Are you planning to make it available again?

I discovered RoundHaus reading Robby Russell’s blog and decided to try. It’s great to have a Subversion solution out of the production server.

Great work!

Very beautiful and elegant, great work guys. I’m also actually considering simple_highlight on a Rails Code Repository Project of mine.
