nbarthelemy.com New Rails Plugin: local_auto_completer

• Plugin of the day!
  How many billons the plugins are there around??? I am making a few changes to it because I also want the id so I can use it with belongs_to associations attributes.
  
  

the { buckblogs :here }: Brevity vs. Clarity

• Ruby on Rails code should be like a poem ;- )
  Code shoule be readable by humans, when I read code containing 2 ternary operators, it takes me 5 min to understand it ... What's the point? Apart from not wanting other to change it??? Fortunately, I have some tests and I am not scared to refactor ...
  
  

device-mapper: table: 245:1: linear: dm-linear: device lookup failed - Ubuntu Forums

• This "sudo aptitude remove evms" saved my life, after the upgrade to Ubuntu gutsy from Fesity, my computer went crazy and was displaying billons of lines "device-mapper: table: 245:1: linear: dm-linear: device lookup failed". I had to try to type this command line while the screen was continuously displaying these lines !!! Not sure I will keep with linux (I want a MAC)!

After having lost a couple of hours trying to commit my rails/vendor both with netbeans and subeclipse, I think it's time to come back to old school command line: it's 10 times faster and do no take 100% CPU!!!

• Go to the vendor folder
• svn add rails
• svn commit -m "Added vendor/rails version 1.2.3"

I needed to truncate a float to 4 decimals because I am using geocoding in my app and Google map returns coordinates with a lot of decimals ...

After reading this post in the ruby-talk mailing list, I decided to take a break in my development and write the following code :

require 'benchmark'

class Float
  def truncate_decimals_with_printf(number_of_decimals_after_dot)
    ("%.#{number_of_decimals_after_dot}f" % self).to_f
  end
  
  def truncate_decimals_with_regexp(number_of_decimals_after_dot)
    match = Regexp.compile("\\d*." + "\\d" * number_of_decimals_after_dot).match(self.to_s)
    match[0].to_f
  end
  
  def truncate_decimals_with_arithmetic(number_of_decimals_after_dot)
    x = 10 ** number_of_decimals_after_dot
    (self * x).round.to_f / x
  end
end

describe "Float.truncate_decimals" do
  
  it "could truncate decimals using printf" do
    1.12349.truncate_decimals_with_printf(4).should == 1.1234
  end
  
  it "could truncate decimals using a regexp" do
    1.12349.truncate_decimals_with_regexp(4).should == 1.1234
  end
  
  it "could truncate decimals using arithmetic" do
    1.12349.truncate_decimals_with_arithmetic(4).should == 1.1234
  end
  
  it "Benchmark:" do    
    Benchmark.bm(10) do |timer|
      timer.report('arithmetic') { 1.12349.truncate_decimals_with_arithmetic(4) }
      timer.report('printf') { 1.12349.truncate_decimals_with_printf(4) }
      timer.report('regexp') { 1.12349.truncate_decimals_with_regexp(4) }      
    end    
  end

Escribo este mensaje para los que hayan visto mi mensaje en el message board, y que quieran saber un poco más sobre 21 croissants.

Soy un programador Rails desde el 2006 y me encantan el "testing", BDD, RSpec, selenium, etc ... Echa un ojo a mi ponencia a Rails Hispana en el 2006

Para resumir, después de 5 años de Java, en Paris, Londres y Barcelona, empiezo mi actividad de autónomo con eco-union, una asociación ecologista y estoy buscando clientes (ONGs / Asociaciones / Servicios públicos o PYMES.

Me gustaría escribir tutoriales sobre RSpec y introducir este framework. Me gustaría saber que te parece el Rspec y el testing.

Mándame un mensaje si quieres quedar en la RailsConf.

Hasta pronto!

Jean-Michel

J'écris ce post au cas oú tu sois tombé sur ma carte de visite dans le message board de la RailsConf et tu voudrais en savoir un peu plus sur 21croissants.

En 1 ligne, je développe avec Rails depuis 1 an et des brouettes et je suis passionné par le "testing", BDD, RSpec, selenium, etc ...

Pour résumer en quelque lignes, après 5 ans de java successivement à Paris, Londres puis Barcelone, je commence mon activité de freelancer dans le cadre de eco-union, association écologiste à Barcelone et je recherche des clients potentiels (ONGs/ associations / services publiques ou PMEs). Je n'ai pas encore décidé si j'allais rester en Espagne, et je suis donc intéressé par toutes les entreprises francophones (petite structures!) qui utilisent Rails et une méthode Agile.

Je recherche également des partenaires freelancers intéressés par offrir des prestations de formation sur Ruby on Rails en français ou en anglais pour 2008.

J'ai l'intention d'écrire des mini-tutoriels (screencasts) sur RSpec et présenter ce framework lors de la prochaine Paris On Rails. N'hésite pas à me donner ton point de vue sur ce framework et le testing en général.

Envoie moi un email si tu as envie de me rencontrer en personne pendant la RailsConf.

A bientôt j'espère!

I pay about 10$ / month for the hosting of my apps at site5
So far, I haven't had any major problem but I wonder if it's not time to move to a more powerful configuration with a more qualified support.

I am not saying site5 support is not competent but they are a bit slow. Most of the time, there are different people who reply to my questions. I suspect they only have a few rails experts and a lot of people in their support with no specific specialization...

Moreover, they are still using ruby 1.8.4, rubygems 0.9.2 and rails 1.1.6, more than 6 months after the release of Rails 1.2.3!!!

When asking about moving to mongrel instead of the quite unstable fcgi, they reply they have not planned it ...

Any host to recommand apart from Railsmachine?

I am going to try the startup at primetime, a norwegian company whose engineers are top-notch gurus in linux and Rails.

It happens they are also friends of mine from Oslo ;-)

Nothing original here I am afraid.
I copied Google's cache from http://blog.pomozov.info/posts/how-to-send-actionmailer-mails-to-gmailcom.html

1. Save the following code within your rails app in lib/smtp_tls.rb

require "openssl"
require "net/smtp"

Net::SMTP.class_eval do
private
def do_start(helodomain, user, secret, authtype)
raise IOError, 'SMTP session already started' if @started
check_auth_args user, secret, authtype if user or secret

sock = timeout(@open_timeout) { TCPSocket.open(@address, @port) }
@socket = Net::InternetMessageIO.new(sock)
@socket.read_timeout = 60 #@read_timeout
#@socket.debug_output = STDERR #@debug_output

check_response(critical { recv_response() })
do_helo(helodomain)

if starttls
  raise 'openssl library not installed' unless defined?(OpenSSL)
  ssl = OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket.new(sock)
  ssl.sync_close = true
  ssl.connect
  @socket = Net::InternetMessageIO.new(ssl)
  @socket.read_timeout = 60 #@read_timeout
  #@socket.debug_output = STDERR #@debug_output
  do_helo(helodomain)
end

authenticate user, secret, authtype if user
@started = true
ensure
unless @started
  # authentication failed, cancel connection.
  @socket.close if not @started and @socket and not @socket.closed?
  @socket = nil
end
end

def do_helo(helodomain)
 begin
  if @esmtp
    ehlo helodomain
  else
    helo helodomain
  end
rescue Net::ProtocolError
  if @esmtp
    @esmtp = false
    @error_occured = false
    retry
  end
  raise
end
end

def starttls
getok('STARTTLS') rescue return false
return true
end

def quit
begin
  getok('QUIT')
rescue EOFError, OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError
end
end
end

2. Add this code to config/environment.rb
   
   require “smtp_tls”

   ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
   :address => “smtp.gmail.com”,
   :port => 587,
   :authentication => :plain,
   :user_name => “someone@openrain.com”,
   :password => ’someonesPassword’
   }

3. Use ActionMailer as normal.

Para la conferencia Rails Hispana en noviembre 2007, me gustaria presentar una ponencia sobre rspec.

rspec on Rails
El "Behaviour Driven Development" (BDD) fue inspirado por las teorías de Sapir Worhf. Según estas, las palabras que usamos cambian nuestra manera de pensar.

rspec es un framework de BDD que permite usar el lenguaje natural para especificar el comportamiento del código Ruby con ejemplos ejecutables que ayudan en el proceso de diseño y se pueden usar como documentación y tests.

• Conceptos clave de rspec a través de un ejemplo práctico y analogías con Test::Unit
  
• Ejemplos de especificaciones de Modelos, Controladores y Vistas (con Selenium)
• rspec como especificaciones funcionales

• GUIs
• rcov y Heckle para mejorar la cobertura y la calidad de los specs
• rspec + Autotest para automatizar la ejecución de los specs
• rspec + jruby para especificar programas java

I have been struggling for so many hours with the google blogger template system!!! So far, this has been quite a frustrative experience. So I thought I shared the source code of my template so people can benefit the hacks I have found:

• Hide the blogger header
• Use Shaded border with javascript
• Use the javascript syntax hightlighter, this one took me 3 hours!

On the whole, the xml based template language used by google is a good anti-pattern of a very complex and unreadable view language. The only way to work with this "cr*p" is Trial and errors ... Very frustrating!

Fortunately, there are still independant individuals who innovate in the open source world, check out the genius idead of Yuri Rashkovskii , a 25 years old nice ukranian geek (I have met him in Oslo). I will blog about lilu as soon as I have the chance to play with it.

I wanted to include the code of my template so you could copy-paste it but once again Blogger f*cked up everything (sic) and did not display it properly ...So please download it here !!!

• connect to the Continuous Integration server of sun (http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/ruby/)
• Guess what's the latest stable build file name and download it to a temp location (depending on your OS)
• rename the old install
• unzip the build to the netbeans installation folder
• delete the downloaded zip from the tmp location

You need to install mechanize:

gem install mechanize

Hten, copy the following code to a ruby file and adapt the last two lines to your configuration. The 1st paramater is the "netbeans installation folder" and the
second one your tmp folder.

Example:

script = NetbeansUpdaterScript.new("/home/jeanmichel/ruby/programs", "/tmp")

script.run

require 'rubygems'
require 'hpricot'
require 'open-uri'
require 'mechanize'
require 'fileutils'

class GenericScript
def download_from(url, save_as)
  mechanize = WWW::Mechanize.new  
  mechanize.get(url).save_as(save_as)
  puts "downloaded " + url + " and saved to " + save_as
end

def remove(file_or_directory)  
  FileUtils.remove_dir(file_or_directory, true) if File.directory?(file_or_directory)
  FileUtils.rm file_or_directory if File.file?(file_or_directory)
  puts "remove " + file_or_directory
end

def unzip_file(file, target_dir) 
  system(
  "unzip", "-q", file, "-d", target_dir
  ) or raise "Error extracting (#{$?}): unzip #{file.inspect} -d #{target_dir.inspect}"
  puts "unzip " + file + " to " + target_dir
end

end

end

I have used this script for a week and it seems to work alright but I'd be happy to hear some feedback about the code or any problem you might have.

At last, I upgraded to the latest stable version of Ubuntu last week. So far, I am very pleased: my firefox, amarok, openoffice and netbeans were very unstable and now everything seems to worl like a charm! The network manager is also very cool: 30s to connecto to a WPA2 network!

However, the 3D and funky effects (Berryl window manager) don't work perfectly so I had to uninstall them (I can live without!).

Apart from the fact I could not find a good software for screencasting, I am very happy with Ubuntu even if I'll probably buy a mac in 2008 anyway

Well done Ubuntu!

“Ici Paris, la Blogosphère parle aux francophones: Les pingouins qui, depuis de nombreuses années, sont à la tête des geeks francophones ont formé un projet de livrer des applications en retard avec du code non testé. Ces applications, alléguant la défaite de nos comités QA, se sont mis en rapport avec le GrandBugQuiNiqueTout pour cesser le combat. Certes, nous avons été, nous sommes, submergés par la tradition du cycle en cascade, la tradition du “Ca marche a 83%” et la loi de Murphy, de l'ennemi. Infiniment plus que leur nombre, ce sont l'absence de tests unitaires, une mauvaise communication et l'incompétence des personnes chargées du planning qui nous font reculer. Ce sont l'absence de reconnaissance de l'excellence technique des geeks qui aiment le travail bien fait, la horde de fichiers de configuration XML qui dupliquent sans fin les même informations et le manque d'”Agilité” des projets (Planning en continue, Itérations courtes, Tests Unitaires, Intégration Continue, Rétrospective) en générale qui ont surpris nos chefs au point de les amener là où ils en sont aujourd'hui. ....".

After having read Aslak Hellesoy's post Watir reports with screenshots using RSpec and Win32::Screenshot, I got very excited because this was exactly the kind of thing I had been daydreaming while taking my morning shower (don't you?).
Aslak's article explains how to use Watir and Internet Explorer on Windows to generate rspec reports with screenshots. Garps! I am working on linux (ubuntu Feisty) as I can't afford a mac (yet) and can't stand Windows. I got a bit frustrated because I wanted to do the same thing on my ubuntu.

So, I decided to do a bit of researches and x*y*z hours later (sic), I got my selenium+rspec taking screenshots! My intention is to contribute to the RSpec sub-project spec_ui.

To get a 30s answer, please watch the flah screencast I have made of netbeans executing rake spec:selenium, running the selenium server, Webrick, lanching firefox and taking a screenshot after having maximized the screen.

Here is the code in spec_helper.rb :

 config.before(:all, :behaviour_type => :view) do       
    selenium_remote_control_manager = SeleniumRemoteControlManager.new
    selenium_remote_control_manager.start_webrick
    selenium_remote_control_manager.start_selenium_server
    @browser = selenium_remote_control_manager.get_firefox
    @browser.start
 end

 config.after(:each, :behaviour_type => :view) do
   Spec::Ui::ScreenshotFormatter.take_screenshot_of(@browser)
 end

 config.after(:all, :behaviour_type => :view) do
   @browser.kill! rescue nil
 end

And the code of contact_list_spec.rb:

describe "/contact/list", :behaviour_type => :view  do 
 include SeleniumSpecHelper

 it "should provide a description automatically (TODO extract)" do       
   open "/contact/list"
   @browser.is_text_present("Frequently Texted").should be_true
   # This line will fail :-)
   @browser.is_text_present("All Contact Tak tak").should be_true       
 end
  
end 

I have used imagemagick to capture the screenshot.

I have had the chance to meet Aslak at an irb meeting in the beautiful Oslo and we talked about rspec and selenium. He told me about the idea of generating screencast from the execution of a selenium rspec and I have started to implement it. I am really close to get a solution but I will publish it by the end of july.

Here are a few features I'd like to have / implement for testing Rails Views:

• a nice BNL compatible with watir and selenium
  
• take a screenshot from the specs in order to generate nice documentation, not only when a spec fails
  
• generate a good looking html doc with a sidebar - a la javadoc. And an AJAX search a la gotapi.com ;-) In a funky world, this would be connected to subversion and allow specs to be updated
  
• to be completed ...
  

To conclude, I hope that tools such as greenpepper and RSpec are announcing the beginning of the end of "Microsoft Word" and "PrintScreen" as tools for writing specifications. Obviously, there will be some serious Manager / Customer / Developper resistance before accepting that tests are part of the delivery and THE only accurate specifications but let's wait for 5-10 years and see in 2012 how people work ;-)

The excellent BDD framework RSpec has been very active these days, and the 1.0 version was immediatly followed by minor uptates. As their web site seems to not contain a blog or RSS feed, I have used the excellent idea and tool page2rss.com to generate a RSS feed on changes from the

I have described the steps to install and configure rspec, the Autotest module from ZenTest and a notifier for Ubuntu.

Make sure you have the latest rubygems (0.9.4)

Installing  rspec

cd <your project home>
ruby script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/tags/CURRENT/rspec
ruby script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/tags/CURRENT/rspec_on_rail

Installing and configuring Zentest

sudo gem install ZenTest

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

module Autotest::GnomeNotify

  # Time notification will be displayed before disappearing automatically
  EXPIRATION_IN_SECONDS = 4
  ERROR_STOCK_ICON = "gtk-dialog-error"
  SUCCESS_STOCK_ICON = "gtk-dialog-info"

  # Convenience method to send an error notification message
  #
  # [stock_icon]   Stock icon name of icon to display
  # [title]        Notification message title
  # [message]      Core message for the notification
  def self.notify stock_icon, title, message
    options = "-t #{EXPIRATION_IN_SECONDS * 1000} -i #{stock_icon}"
    system "notify-send #{options} '#{title}' '#{message}'"
  end

  Autotest.add_hook :red do |at|
    notify ERROR_STOCK_ICON, "Tests failed", "#{at.files_to_test.size} tests failed"
  end

  Autotest.add_hook :green do |at|
    notify SUCCESS_STOCK_ICON, "All tests passed, good job!", ""
  end

end

# a pop up window will appear to display the tests results
# More examples in /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/zentest-3.5.0/example_dot_autotest.rb

# see http://ph7spot.com/articles/getting_started_with_autotest

sudo apt-get install libnotify-bin

Finally, from the Rails project’s root, type:

autotest


Pressing Control-C twice in quick succession will exit Autotest back to the shell prompt.

Integration with netbeans

As far as I am concerned, netbeans ruby-ide is the first IDE to integrate autotest. Select your project root in the Projects windows, right click and then "Auto Test". This will open an output window and run Autotest. This is very cool, check out the screenshot:

I am using site5 for my rails hosting (for how long? The fcgi is just not stable ...) and I host the source code of my projects with subversion.

The svn integration in Netbeans can be slightly improved, as I could not check out my project using the GUI, I ended up using the command line and then imported the rails project into Netbeans ...

Last week I went to Paris in order to assist to the second XP Day France conference which was held in Paris. This was an excellent opportunity to catch up with the french speaking Agile & Rails communities. After all, I left Paris almost 5 years ago - in july 2002 ! Nethertheless, I am feeling deeply connected to my home country and I really can't stand bad croissants full of vegetable hydrogenated fat ;-) I have met and talked with passionate people, among others:

• Laurent Bossavit, Paris, The organizer who did a very good job, the conference place rooms food & drinks were quite good. Laurent is an independant Agile consultant and offer training services about Agile practices
  
• Richard Piacentini, Paris, who created RailsFrance, organized Paris on Rails and is a founder of nuxos.fr, a consulting company on open source and Rails projects.
  
• Ludovic Blaas, Besançon (my home town!!!), Agile coach at Parkeon ex Schlumberger where people work with Pair Programming, unit testing, Continuous Integration and so on. Allez Besac!
  

• Olivier Lafontan, UK, Agile consultant at exoftware. I attended 2 excellent session given by Olivier: "XP Game" perfect training session to re-learn how to do the planning and "Numbers which sell Agile methods" which focussed on ROI of Agile projects and how to give a business value to customer stories
  

• Pascal Van Cauwenberghe, Brussels, nayima, gave a very good presentation on identifying bottlenecks on projects. Pascal is one of the inventor of the famous XP Game, he has also a looooot of experience in programming
  

• Jacques Couvreur, Geneva, hortis.ch, gave a return on experience about Pair Programming

Music plays an important role in my life: it makes me very happy ;-) Yesterday, I went out until 4am to listen to Dj set de Will Holland a.k.a Quantic. Good music is like sport or finding a tricky bug after a good night of sleep: a natural flash of pure serotonine. In a world where most people need to get drunk or take drugs (cigaret, skunk, cocaine, ...) to feel good, I am happy to have a clean brain still depending on natural stimulations ....

I have been using ubuntu Edgy on my Toshiba SATELLITE M100-184 since September 2006 - 6 months at the time of this post - and I have to say I am not convinced yet it the best choice I have ver made. Yesterday, I spent 2 hours (including a 20 minutes for updating this blog) to have subversion worked with Netbeans. Today, I have spent 1 hour to have sound on my computer !!! It was working perfectly fine until I ran an automatic update and .... Pchhhhh!

After some intensive googling, I came across a troubleshooting post about my sound card - the HDA Intell & Realtek ALC861 -
The sound came back but it was very low volume!!! Arghh :-((((

Fortunately, someone has had the same problem on Feisty and posted a solution ... Very lucky! I have no clue how these people find these solutions but I am very grateful to them!
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

and append at the end of the file:
options snd-hda-intel model=auto

I am thinking to wait for another 6 months and then make the move to Apple if I am still spending my time procrastinating on configuration issued instead of doing real work!

The subversion support on Radrails was flawned and I have been loosing a few days before finding out that the subclipse needed to be updated. Now, history is repeating and I am fighting some configuration monsters to get the good looking netbeans subversion support to work!

First issue: The SVN executables are not set by default!

Open the options / Miscellaneous / Subversion and set the /usr/local/bin/ folder as in the following screenshot.



Important, you have to input the svn executable folder, not the executable file. Unfortunately, there is no validation run by netbeans to check if your entry is valid!

A sidenote to Netbeans developpers, this is typically the kind of things which should be automatic, like in RadRails and Eclipse ;-)

Second issue: The subversion version installed on Ubuntu Edgy won't work with netbeans!

Ubuntu Edgy comes with version subversion 1.3, we'll need to upgrade to 1.4.2 manually because the synaptic repository does not contain anything ...
Here is a script inspired by Higepon which should make the whole thing easier, go to a tmp folder, copy & paste into a sh file and don't forget to make it executable with chmod +x install_svn_1.4.2.sh

sudo apt-get -y remove libsvn0
sudo apt-get -y remove subversion
sudo apt-get -y install libneon25 libneon25-dev
sudo apt-get -y install libapr1.0-dev
sudo apt-get -y install libaprutil1.0-dev
sudo apt-get -y install libdb4.2-dev
sudo apt-get -y install libdb4.2
sudo apt-get -y install libsqlite3-0
sudo apt-get -y install libsqlite3-dev
sudo apt-get -y install libldap-dev
sudo apt-get -y install libpq-dev
sudo apt-get -y install libexpat1-dev
wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.4.2.tar.bz2
tar vxf subversion-1.4.2.tar.bz2
cd subversion-1.4.2
./configure --with-ssl
make
sudo make install

The official NetBeans Subversion Support F.A.Q. is also a good source of informations.

Premier post en français!

Il y a quelque jours, j'ai décidé de commencer la rédaction d'un mini e-book en français qui devrait s'intituler TGV - Testing à Grande Vitesse - en honneur au nouveau record de vitesse battu par la SNCF le 3 avril 2007.


Etant donné que je n'ai eu aucun contact avec la communauté Rails de France et de Navarre, j'ai pensé faire une petite enquête d'opinion sur ses attentes.

Bon, la tout de suite, c'est un ptit post mais j'ajouterai des zoho surveys!

sudo update-alternatives --config java

 I am using webbrick or Mongrel in development mode and Apache + fcgi in production mode on my site5 server (I'd recommand them, they are very reactive).

I have read that you're supposed to set ENV['RAILS_ENV'] to 'production' in environment.rb
As I am using capistrano de deploy my webapplication, I have tried to move that setting to dispatch.fcgi and it works! No need to get 2 versions of environment.rb (1 for developement & test and 1 for production)

Maybe there is a more elegant solution, I'd love to hear about it!

Since the lasted automatic update on the 25/03/2007, firefox has been very unstable. Every 20 minutes or so, it crashes with the following message:

"The application 'Gecko' lost its connection to the display :0.0;
most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed the application."

I am investigating the problem following

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs?action=show&redirect=DebuggingFirefox advices

The same version of firefox running on Windows XP runs absolutely fine, I am looking forward to reporting to the ubuntu community!!! So far, I have no clue, could it be my installation of ubuntu???

The sad truth was that before this update, firefox was more stable in Windows too ...

Adapted from Agile Web Development on Rails:
The session handler in Rails doesn’t do automated housekeeping. This means that once the data for a session is created, it isn’t automatically cleared out after the session expires. This can quickly spell trouble. The default file-based session handler will run into trouble long before the database-based session handler will, but both handlers will create an endless amount of data. Since Rails doesn’t clean up after itself, you’ll need to do it yourself. The easiest way is to run a script periodically, you could put the following command into a script
that will delete files that haven’t been touched in the last 1 hour every morning at 4am.

In the bash, run the command:
crontab -e

You'll enter a command line editor vi like, type "I" and copy-paste the following command:
0 4 * * * cd ~/YOUR_RAILS_APPS_HOME_FOLDER_HERE/; find tmp/sessions -name 'ruby_sess.*' -amin +60 -exec rm -rf {} \;

To save, type ESC, then wq in order to save the file and quit.

As far as I am concerned, I can't stand these command line software which don't give a clue about how to use them. I am sooooo looking forward a rebirth of some Pao Alto 70 spirit in the domain of User Interface: I want to see 3D, vocal commands, predictive User Interfaces !!! Damn the Monopoles!!!!

I was having the following problem repetitively when using rake to run the tests on my ubuntu Edgy Eft machine:
rake aborted!
Lost connection to MySQL server during query
/config/../vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/vendor/mysql.rb:1127:in `write'

As I am using Radrails since the beginning of my ruby career , I have never found out before!!! Indeed, Radrails must use another driver than my plain ruby to access the mysql database.

It turned out that installing the libmysql-ruby solved the problem:
sudo apt-get install libmysql-ruby

It took me a while - 2 days and a half ! - but I finnaly managed to deploy my application on site5 using capistrano!

The toughest part was understanding this error message:

error: directory is writable by others: (/home/xxxxxx/rails/webapps/xxxx/releases/20070213163348/public)

I have been evaluating the excellent and super fast Similarity Analyser by Red Hill Consulting to generate a duplicate lines reports from Rails 1.2.1 source code (excluding the tests) with a threshold of 5 lines.

May I insist on the threshold parameter: this parameter must be >=5, hence identical blocks of lines whose length official features page of Simian.

Update 23/01/2007: There was a bug in simian 2.2.12 which was considering lines containing the "end" keyword as duplicates. Hopefully, Simmon Harris fixed it in couple of days and released the version 2.2.13.

I have written a bit of code to generate the following html report from simian text report, I will publish as soon as it I have put into a gem and document it.

Here is the report generated on the 23th of January 2007:
