# spec/support/user_support.rb
RSpec.configure do |config|
 config.include UserHelper, type: :user
 config.include_context "user_context", type: :use
end

# Example:
#
#   > TablesFinder.call(column_name: 'site_id')
#   => ['events', 'users']
class TablesFinder
  VALID_ATTRIBUTES = %w[
    COLUMN_NAME
  ].freeze

  def self.call(args)

# Example usage =============
#
#   describe :namespace do
#     include RakeTasksHelper
#
#     describe ':task' do
#       it 'works' do
#         invoke_task('namespace:task')
#       end
#     end

# We need to use 'remote_<object>_url' as attribute instead of '<object>'.
# Having Image, we would use 'remote_image_url: <url>'.

titles = [Faker::RockBand.name, Faker::BossaNova.artist, Faker::Book.title]

54.times do |n|
  start_date = Faker::Date.between(1.day.from_now, 6.months.from_now)
  end_date   = start_date + 1.day
  
  Event.create!(title:            titles.sample + " ##{n}",

Rofi: Alt+Tab (Super+Tab) Window Switching

This is using “Super” instead of “Alt”. If you want to use the latter you only need to replace all “Super” instances with “Tab”.
