Hi everyone, I'm Chris Wanstrath.

When Jeremy asked me to come talk, I said yes.  Hell yes.  Immediately.  But
then I took a few moments and thought, Wait, why?  Why me?  What am I supposed
to say that's interesting?  Something about Ruby, perhaps.  Maybe the
future of it.  The future of something, at least.  That sounds
keynote-y.

Parallelize Your RSpec Suite

We all have multi-core machine these days, but most rspec suites still run in one sequential stream. Let's parallelize it!

The big hurdle here is managing multiple test databases. When multiple specs are running simultaneously, they each need to have exclusive access to the database, so that one spec's setup doesn't clobber the records of another spec's setup. We could create and manage multiple test database within our RDBMS. But I'd prefer something a little more ... ephemeral, that won't hang around after we're done, or require any manual management.

Enter SQLite's in-memory database, which is a full SQLite instance, created entirely within the invoking process's own memory footprint.

For each Ruby module/class, we have Ruby methods on the left and the equivalent
Clojure functions and/or relevant notes are on the right.

For clojure functions, symbols indicate existing method definitions, in the 
clojure namespace if none is explicitly given.  clojure.contrib.*/* functions can
be obtained from http://github.com/kevinoneill/clojure-contrib/tree/master,
ruby-to-clojure.*/* functions can be obtained from the source files in this
gist.

If no method symbol is given, we use the following notation:

describe Album do
  before :each do
    @website = Factory(:website)
    @album = @website.albums.build(Factory(:album).attributes)
    @album.save
  end
  it "should be valid" do
    @album.should be_valid
