@rescuetime is a waste of time. #
@besz It will be back someday, but another app has been very demanding of my time… I'd rather not make any promises as far as timeline in reply to besz #
@inkpixelspaper Yeah, #oauth is a pain in the ass to configure and test until you've been through it a few times. Good luck! in reply to inkpixelspaper #

Bundler + Watchr

Logan Koester — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 18:51:07 +0000

If you're using test-driven development (and it's definitely a cliche by now, but if you're not – you should be), I highly recommend Watchr to run your test suite. The concept is simple: whenever you save a file, it runs the related tests for you. It's basically a modernized autotest, and I couldn't live without it. It's totally the best workflow ever.

Lately I've been switching my Ruby projects to the new Bundler system for managing gem dependencies. With Bundler, whenever you add a gem into your Gemfile, you have to then run "bundle install" to grab it. If you're already using Watchr to autorun your tests, it is trivial to automate this.

Just add this line to your test/test.watchr (or whatever you call it).

watch('Gemfile') { puts `bundle install` }

Add a gem to your Gemfile, hit save… gem installed!

#oauth spec says nothing – how do I sign a multipart POST (file upload)? Is there a common practice? #
RT @RainbowBecca: #starcraft2 runs /worse/ with SLI on Ubuntu/wine – no fair! Oh well, at least the installation & all worked flawlessly #

I had completely forgotten how good American Beauty is. I should really remember to watch this movie at least once a year. #

People who use "while true" instead of "loop do" are silly. #
