Using Rspec with Rails 4 patch method

In Rails 4 PATCH is the new HTTP methode for an update action. You can find the details here: http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2012/2/25/edge-rails-patch-is-the-new-primary-http-method-for-updates/

Using PATCH in your specs

As you can imagine you need to use the PATCH method to test the update action in your controller. Because of how the users controller in this example works you need to specify the id and user. This particular spec tests whether the user gets redirected if it's not logged in.

(./spec/controllers/users_controller_spec.rb)

require 'spec_helper'

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Reset routing table on OSX

# display current routing table
echo "********** BEFORE ****************************************"
netstat -r
echo "**********************************************************"

for i in {0..4}; do
  sudo route -n flush # several times

data= {    
      name: "New name"

Two ways to do it, but only worked for me so I'll put it first and the second for reference:

$ openssl pkcs12 -export -in hostname.crt -inkey hsotname.key -out hostname.p12
$ openssl pkcs12 -in hostname.p12 -nodes -out hostname.pem

Other options for this method in comments below:

# Note, the -certfile root.crt appends all CA certs to the export, I've never needed these so it's optional for my personal steps
$ openssl pkcs12 -export -in hostname.crt -inkey hsotname.key -certfile root.crt -out hostname.p12

Note, I've always had my hostname.crt as part of my .pem, so I keep my certs but apparently you may not have to, hence the nocerts flag being an extra option in this sample

# Quickly and easily change the port that Pow is running on. This allows
# you too run Apache and Pow side-by-side (on different ports of course).

# WARNING: This will OVERWRITE your ~/.powconfig file.  If you have custom

Installation

Install nginx:

$ brew install nginx

Use custom launchctl plist (see homebrew.mxcl.nginx.plist below):

refactor8

mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/nginx/sites-{enabled,available}
cd /usr/local/etc/nginx/sites-enabled
ln -s ../sites-available/default.conf
ln -s ../sites-available/default-ssl.conf

File locations:

• nginx.conf to /usr/local/etc/nginx/
• default.conf and default-ssl.conf to /usr/local/etc/nginx/sites-available
• homebrew.mxcl.nginx.plist to /Library/LaunchDaemons/
