Testing Ember with Cucumber
# You need some sort of indication that an Ajax transaction exists. jQuery.active doesn't seem to do the
# trick, so we use the following JS (well, we use CoffeeScript, but whatever) that gets inserted into
# our application.
#
#$(function() {
# var body, doc;
# body = $('body');
# doc = $(document);
# doc.ajaxStart(function() {
# return body.addClass('ajax-in-progress').removeClass('ajax-quiet');

Future-proofing your Ember 1.x code

This post is also on my blog, since Gist doesn't support @ notifications.


Components are taking center stage in Ember 2.0. Here are some things you can do today to make the transition as smooth as possible:

  • Use Ember CLI
  • In general, replace views + controllers with components
  • Only use controllers at the top-level for receiving data from the route, and use Ember.Controller instead of Ember.ArrayController or Ember.ObjectController
  • Fetch data in your route, and set it as normal properties on your top-level controller. Export an Ember.Controller, otherwise a proxy will be generated. You can use Ember.RSVP.hash to simulate setting normal props on your controller.

ruby-1.9.3-p194 cumulative performance patch.

Patched ruby 1.9.3-p194 for 30% faster rails boot

What is?

This script installs a patched version of ruby 1.9.3-p194 with patches for boot-time performance improvements (#66 and #68), and runtime performance improvements (#83 and #84). It also includes the new backported GC from ruby-trunk.

Huge thanks to funny-falcon for the performance patches.

Auto-starting VirtualBox VMs on OS X

Auto-starting VirtualBox VMs on OS X

After finding a lot of other posts on the topic that didn't work out for me this one did the trick so I'm reposting for my own sense of self preservation.

Link to original article.

Copy the Virtualbox autostart plist template file to your system's LaunchDaemons folder.

sudo cp \

/Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/org.virtualbox.vboxautostart.plist \

Rails Rspec model testing skeleton & cheat sheet using rspec-rails, shoulda-matchers, shoulda-callbacks, and factory_girl_rails. Pretty much a brain dump of examples of what you can (should?) test in a model. Pick & choose what you like, and please let me know if there are any errors or new/changed features out there. Reddit comment thread: http…
# This is a skeleton for testing models including examples of validations, callbacks,
# scopes, instance & class methods, associations, and more.
# Pick and choose what you want, as all models don't NEED to be tested at this depth.
#
# I'm always eager to hear new tips & suggestions as I'm still new to testing,
# so if you have any, please share!
