Twitter gem error: unauthorized

I can't follow/unfollow users with the Twitter gem because Twitter could not authenticate me.

I've written the Twitter app credentials in config/config.yml and I've loaded it in config/initializers/app_config.rb:

APP_CONFIG = YAML.load_file(Rails.root.join('config', 'config.yml'))

After I do Twitter.follow(username), I get a Twitter::Error::Unauthorized exception

Did I miss anything?

tweets.each do |tweet|
if tweet.created_at.utc <= self.time_end.utc
max_id = tweet.id

Implementing a decent trending algorithm in Rails

I'm trying to implement a trending feature. The trending feature is based on searches that have become viral in a span of 4 hours. It will get the 6 latest popular searches.

Of course, to pull that off, I created a model called Search that has a keyword field. Every search done on the application will be stored as one row in the Search table.

At the moment, this is what I'm doing to retrieve the keywords to be classified as trending:

@popular_search = Search.where('created_at >= ?', 4.hours.ago).group(:keyword).order('count_keyword DESC').limit(6).count(:keyword)

Content appears in my browser, but not in my test

I can see the content fine in my browser, but it doesn't appear in the the test. I checked the page with save_and_open_page and the categories that I created isn't in the generated page. What am I missing here?

This is the error that I'm getting:

  1. Categories index page when the user is signed in should be able to see a list of categories Failure/Error: page.should have_content category1.name expected there to be content "category-1" in "Gastos\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGastos\n\n\nHome\n\n\nAbout\n\n\nContact\n\n\n\nLogged in as\nfoo2@example.com\n\nEdit profile\nSign Out\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrowse Categories\nName\n\n\n\n"

Fix the locale issue

  • Edit /etc/default/locale as sudo.
  • Append LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" at the end of the file, save and quit.
  • sudo locale-gen en_US en_US.UTF-8
  • sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

Install the necessary packages to install rbenv and build Ruby
