some tricky test moments in Jasmine

If you know RSpec, Jasmine is easy! But some common uses of JavaScript may not be as immediately obvious.

Try to use Jasmine (you could use your own setup or just tryjasmine.com) to write some specs that cover cases like these. The links will load up an example.

• jQuery DOM manipulation - change the DOM based on state of the DOM
• jQuery event binding - verify an event was bound
• [More jQuery event binding(http://tryjasmine.com/?gist=1378942) - example from Chris Powers
• conditional stubbing w/ backbone - an object that's isolated from its depended-on backbone model

How to Ruby Debug with Pow

Below are steps I followed to get ruby debugger ruby-debug running with Pow. Based on info from this thread basecamp/pow#43 and this blog post http://flochip.com/2011/04/13/running-pow-with-rdebug/

1) Update your Gemfile

Assuming you're writing your app in Ruby 1.9 and using Bundler, just add the dependency to your development gems:

Factory.define :item do |f|
  include ActionDispatch::TestProcess

  f.name "Macbook Pro 15"
  f.price_in_dollars 1500
  f.photo fixture_file_upload('/files/avatar.jpg', 'image/jpg')
end
