Testing user command line input in RSpec.

This note aims at explaining how to test user input in RSpec.

Background

I'm building a Tic-Tac-Toe game in Ruby. Before the game starts, I need to ask the user for name, in what mode (player vs player, player vs computer) he/she wants to play, and for the sign (eg. X or O). In order to test it, I've stubbed the gets method. It means that each time there was a gets.chomp in the code, I've stubbed it in the test in order to pass an user input. This allowed me to fluently run the tests, without the need of passing user input manually.

Examples of code

import React from 'react';
import videojs from 'video.js';
import 'video.js/dist/video-js.css';

// video.js player from the docs: https://github.com/videojs/video.js/blob/master/docs/guides/react.md

class VideoPlayer extends React.Component {
  componentDidMount() {
    // instantiate Video.js
    this.player = videojs(this.videoNode, this.props, function onPlayerReady() {

Deploying a subfolder to GitHub Pages

Sometimes you want to have a subdirectory on the master branch be the root directory of a repository’s gh-pages branch. This is useful for things like sites developed with Yeoman, or if you have a Jekyll site contained in the master branch alongside the rest of your code.

For the sake of this example, let’s pretend the subfolder containing your site is named dist.

Step 1

Remove the dist directory from the project’s .gitignore file (it’s ignored by default by Yeoman).

    OmniAuth.config.mock_auth[:twitter] = {
