why has mentioned this before, but I wrote a small test framework for Camping and it is now available as a gem. 

  sudo gem install mosquito

If you'd like to write unit or functional test for your Camping app, check it out:

Several people have already submitted patches and I'm glad to give commit rights to anyone who wants to contribute.

Subject: Using Rails Plugins with Camping
Message-ID: <a60f29b10612110417q28493c1ay61c1c62aabf45245@mail.gmail.com>

I just picked up Camping and I'm currently reviewing every little
tidbit of information I can find out about it.

I really liked the simplicity of RubyOnRails, but sometimes you want
something fast and everything is relative.  After looking at Camping,
RubyOnRails seems like a lot of work if you just want to test out a
prototype of a small web app.

One thing I do miss are all the pre-built plugins for Rails (such as
acts_as_taggable).

How easy is it to convert Rails plugins to work with Camping?

I've done my first pass at searching for anything related to adapting
Rails plugins for Camping but I only came up with some hackery around
Dr. Nic's Magic Models.

Any finger pointing in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much,
HH

Hi!

Most plugins for Rails that are for the model (acts_as_taggable,
acts_as_versioned, acts_as_textile etc...) will work just fine in
camping.  You just need to include the file, and add the acts_as line
to your model definition.  You may need to do some jiggery pokery with
view helpers too though.
