JS Client-side Package Management

At work, we're considering moving away from Require.js towards Browserify. I've spent some time reading up on; following are thoughts and resources.

tl;dr Browserify is worth introducing into our stack even though a Best Practice in the space hasn't emerged; Traceur is worth considering to hedge bets until ES6 is ready

Pro

  • took 30 mins to implement a feature on Friday using Browserify whose solution with our custom Require.js-based framework had eluded me for hours
  • building a center of excellence around an emerging (possible) standard
  • experience can be turned into blog posts
  • leverages the node package management module system -IMO dominant in the space (although I don't see us publishing our libs anytime soon)

"Cannot call method 'setup' of undefined" : ember-mocha-adapter
I ran into this issue while running Karma. Turns out I wasn't including the right lib and adapter in my karma.conf.js.
Had:
files = [
JASMINE,
JASMINE_ADAPTER

Mac OSX 10.8.2 & MacVim Workaround
While running this:
brew install macvim
Was getting this:
Error: Can't run /Applications/Xcode.app/usr/bin/xcodebuild (no such file).
Then I found [1], so I did this:

Using random number value generation in vim substitution
BACKGROUND
Given a JSON data file for one Use Case, I wanted to repurpose it
for two other, similar Use Cases while prototyping. Actual values
in the copied files didn't matter; they just needed to be different
to make the prototype appear different between Use Cases.
RESEARCH
I knew I wanted to do something like [1] so I did a Google search

Using dynamic val in vim substitution
BACKGROUND
Was using a file with a bunch of named data points [1]. Didn't
want to edit the name of each data point to repurpose it for my
prototyping efforts but needed a command mode substitution to
iterate over a visual block and do the replacement but with a
dynamic expression (line number is adequate.)
Found [2] and then figured out I'd need something like printf()
for use in eval() so stumbled upon [3].

Fixing "Will you help improve Mozilla Firefox" message that appears while using Selenium under Mac OSX, Part II
In the end, I simply followed the instructions in [1].
That meant creating a new profile and accepting the security exception. Then
I updated SeleniumServer in the Selenium gem to make use of the profile (via
firefoxProfileTemplate) to get around the issue. See [2] for the latest.
