Join us for peer mentoring\, conversation\, and pizza at 6\, followed by presentations at 7. This month\, Jason Clark o f New Relic will discuss how to tackle the complex testing issues that c ome up when your code needs to be compatible with multiple dependencies. \;\n \;\nFor more information about this and future meetings\, fo llow @TestRubyPDX on Twitter. \;\n \;\n### Testing the Multiverse& #13\;\n#### Jason Clark \;\nIt’s a basic principle of testing that mi nimizing dependencies will make you happier\, faster\, and more producti ve. But what happens when you can’t? If your code plugs into or extends another gem\, comfortable isolation might be out of the question. Stubbi ng and careful design can carry you a ways\, but eventually you need to actually test your code against those gems you’re building on. Luckily\, there are ways to reduce this pain. We’ll dig deep on creating a simple environment to check your work against multiple dependencies. We’ll see patterns that help avoid pulling your hair out when those dependencies change. We’ll even search around the raw edges\, examining how to verify what your code does when it lands in an environment you haven’t tested. There’s a multitude of gems out there to build on. Let’s see how we can test with them! \;\n \;\n### ActiveMocker: Fast ActiveRecord Mock s \;\n#### Dustin Zeisler \;\nTired of a slow test suite in Rails? Hitting the database so often it's getting you down? Is waiting for Rai ls to boot as you do red\, green\, refactor killing your vibe? Wouldn't it be great if your tests ran in milliseconds instead of seconds or minu tes? You may say "\;That's all great\, but I'll have to change the w ay I test and program adding tedious boilerplate\, making my code ugly.& quot\; And I would say\, no! I created ActiveMocker to save my team from just that. You can have nearly all of the benefits by adding one settin g to your test file and with just a little more work you can have full\, glorious\, unadulterated speed. ActiveMocker creates mock classes from ActiveRecord models\, allowing your test suite to run at breakneck speed . This can be done by not loading Rails or hitting a database. The model s are read dynamically and statically so that ActiveMocker can generate a Ruby file to require within a test. The mock file can be run by itself and comes with a partial implementation of ActiveRecord. Attributes and associations can be used the same as in ActiveRecord. Methods have the same argument signature but raise a NotImplementedError when called\, al lowing you to stub it with a mocking framework\, like RSpec. Mocks are r egenerated when the schema is modified so your mocks won't go stale\, pr eventing the case where your units tests pass but production code fails. \;\n \;\n## Thanks to Renew Financial for providing the space and pizza for this event!\n\nTags: ruby\, rails\, testing\, agile\, Cucumbe r\, RSpec\, Test::Unit\, Minitest\, Capybara\, activerecord\, ActiveMock er\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250469343 URL:http://testrubypdx.org SUMMARY:Test Ruby PDX Monthly Meeting LOCATION:Renew Financial: 402 SW 6th Ave. #902\, Portland OR 97202 US SEQUENCE:6 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151124T182659Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160111T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160111T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151124T182659Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160610T214047Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250469437 DESCRIPTION:Conversation and peer mentoring starting at 6\, presentations at 7.

Stephen Prater will show us how to get our custom matchers working and then Robb Shecter will tak e it to the cloud in a presentation on testing web app configurations.&# 13\;\n \;\n### Stephen Prater - Custom Matchers for Fun\, Profit\, an d World Domination \;\nIf you're only using RSpec's built-in matchers \, you're missing out on an opportunity to create more robust and expres sive specs. Using custom matchers\, you can take full advantage of the f ramework's capabilities. \;\n \;\n### Robb Shecter - RSpec in the Cloud: Using custom RSpec matchers to manage web app configurations \ ;\nCustom matchers are one of the most powerful descriptive features of the RSpec API. In this talk\, Robb Shecter will show how to use them in a novel context: Testing live web application configurations.\n\nImporte d from: http://calagator.org/events/1250469438 URL:http://testrubypdx.org SUMMARY:Test Ruby PDX Monthly Meeting LOCATION:Renew Financial: 402 SW 6th Ave. #902\, Portland OR 97202 US SEQUENCE:6 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160113T174845Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160314T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160314T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160113T174845Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160113T174845Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250469622 DESCRIPTION:Portland's testing user group for Ruby developers!

However\, testing Rake tasks is not as straight-forward. In this talk\, you will learn how and why it is va luable to test Rake tasks. This talk will go over testing regular ole Ra ke tasks and Rake tasks in a Rails app. Before you know it\, you will be writing Rake tasks in a test-driven manner\, hooray!\n\nTags: Test Ruby PDX\, ruby\, rails\, ruby on rails\, testing\, RSpec\, Cucumber\, Capyb ara\, Test::Unit\, Minitest\, tdd\, bdd\, agile\n\nImported from: http:/ /calagator.org/events/1250469622 URL:http://testrubypdx.org SUMMARY:Test Ruby PDX Monthly Meeting LOCATION:Renew Financial: 402 SW 6th Ave. #902\, Portland OR 97202 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160323T183855Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160411T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160411T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160323T183855Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160323T184308Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250469999 DESCRIPTION:Portland's testing user group for Ruby developers!
