natritmeyer / ruby_time_duration_hack.rb
Created June 18, 2013 13:03
Converts a float/active_support-time to print a duration (ie: a date time that starts from 0000 instead of the epoch, ie: 1/1/1970)
require 'active_support/time'
def duration_of(input)
Time.at(input).gmtime.strftime "0000-00-00T%H:%M:%S"
end
duration_of 6.seconds #=> "0000-00-00T00:00:06"
duration_of 70.seconds #=> "0000-00-00T00:01:10"
duration_of 5.minutes #=> "0000-00-00T00:05:00"

Install specific versions of a library from Homebrew
#substitute LIBNAME for the library you want. Eg: grails
brew tap homebrew/versions
brew versions LIBNAME
#2.1.2 git checkout 5c5b964 /usr/local/Library/Formula/grails.rb # <== we want this version
#2.1.3 git checkout d08ef78 /usr/local/Library/Formula/grails.rb
#2.1.1 git checkout 1bcf5af /usr/local/Library/Formula/grails.rb
#...
cd /usr/local
git checkout 5c5b964 Library/Formula/LIBNAME.rb # <== notice the hash, it's a reference to the version we want

Make your tests run in any timezone...
#in env.rb:
require 'active_support/time'
Time.zone = 'Europe/London'
#use in tests instead of `Time.now`:
Time.current #=> will output the time in London, regardless of the localhost's timezone
