  • Polymorphic associations and Factory Girl: in your tests you need to create your objects separately and connect them as you would in the controller, for example:
    event = Factory(:event)
    rev = Factory.build(:revision, :user_id => event.user.id)
    event.revisions << rev
    assert event.save
    assert rev.save
  • A new version of rails.vim is out. When you install it, you get lots of handy shortcuts. For example, if you’re editing a file containing a test, typing :Rake will run it. :Rcontroller events will open EventsController, gf over has_many :nap*kins opens Napkin model file and so on. In practice, with Vim’s autocompletion you actually need to type just two characters.
  • For apps running on Rails 2.3.4 make sure you upgrade your version of Passenger (currently 2.2.5), or you’ll get strange exceptions mentioning rewind and Unix sockets in their backtrace.
