Better Jasmine Tests With this

On the Refinery29 Mobile Web Team, codenamed "Bicycle", all of our unit tests are written using Jasmine, an awesome BDD library written by Pivotal Labs. We recently switched how we set up data for tests from declaring and assigning to closures, to assigning properties to each test case's this object, and we've seen some awesome benefits from doing such.

The old way

Up until recently, a typical unit test for us looked something like this:

describe('views.Card', function() {

Problem: When linking to the raw version of a gist, the link changes with each revision.

Solution:

To return the first file from a gist: https://gist.github.com/[gist_user]/[gist_id]/raw/

• Example: https://gist.github.com/atenni/5604522/raw/
• Works even when you change the filename.

To get a file from multi–file gist: https://gist.github.com/[gist_user]/[gist_id]/raw/[file_name]

I use tmux splits (panes). Inside one of these panes there's a Vim process, and it has its own splits (windows).

In Vim I have key bindings C-h/j/k/l set to switch windows in the given direction. (Vim default mappings for windows switching are the same, but prefixed with C-W.) I'd like to use the same keystrokes for switching tmux panes.

An extra goal that I've solved with a dirty hack is to toggle between last active panes with C-\.

Here's how it should work:

find ~ -name '*.log' -print0 | xargs -0 -L1 stat -f'%z %N' | sort -rn | tee fat-logfiles.txt | head

awk '{ total += $1 } END { printf "total: %5.2f MiB\n", total/1024/1024 }' < fat-logfiles.txt

1. Your class can be no longer than 100 lines of code.
2. Your methods can be no longer than five lines of code.
3. You can pass no more than four parameters and you can’t just make it one big hash.
4. When a call comes into your Rails controller, you can only instantiate one object to do whatever it is that needs to be done. And your view can only know about one instance variable.

You can break these rules if you can talk your pair into agreeing with you.
