Wondering if anyone has tips for installing their app to heroku with
the restful_authentication plugin? the plugin works fine locally.

I'm getting: uninitialized constant User::Authentication while I try
to run my initial heroku rake db:migrate.

Hey Jerr,

I'm guessing the plugin is a git submodule in your repo, so when you push it
to heroku, its not pushing the restful_auth plugin code.  There's a way to
keep it as a submodule and have it push the code along with everything, but
I don't remember how off the top of my head.  Or you can just remote the
.git directory and then 'git add' it to your repo, then push, and everything
should be kosher.

Not sure how many of you are aware, but Triangle Startup Weekend is
approaching fast. It's going to be June 3-5 at the American Tobacco
Campus, and looks like it'll be a blast. I especially like it as a way
to find and assess "businessy" co-founders; you get to see if they can
cut the mustard without any long-term commitment.

All the details are here:

Hope to see you there!

	Designer
Message-ID: <514FFDC4-6BC1-4328-BAE0-120873885D1B@lunenburg.org>

People of Earth,

TeamSnap is looking to hire a Jr.-to-mid-level Rails developer, as well as a User Interface / User Experience designer.  We're a Rails application focused on team sports and group management.  The product has been in existence since 2007, and charging for the product since 2009 or so.  We have a rapidly-growing customer base, and need some help on the dev side.

The company is based out of Boulder, Colorado, with the current development team residing right here in the Triangle. The job is a work-from-home deal, though, so candidates who don't want to relocate to Boulder or RDU are certainly welcome to apply.  If you want to move, relocation to Boulder may be a possibility.

The company website can be found at http://teamsnap.com/ , and the job postings at http://teamsnap.com/jobs.php.  Feel free to sign up for a trial and look around the app, or hit me up with questions if you have any.

Also feel free to pass this opening along to friends who may be looking in either of those two roles.

Thanks,
Wade

I'm looking to start sending SMS from one of my rails apps. Poking
around the intarwebs, it seems that Twilio and Tropo are the leading
contenders for mindshare in the ruby on rails community. I've spent a
bit of time playing with their libraries and can't say I'm
particularly overwhelmed by either of them so far. Does anyone in the
local community have any experience or recommendations they'd care to

What don't you like about them?  They're pretty easy to use in my

Really if you only want to send SMS, Twilio is hard to beat. It's dead simple.

The twilio library seems to be not much more than a tiny wrapper
around Net::HTTP, to call any of their API methods you have to
construct the path string manually. The tropo library seems more
high-level, but unless I'm missing something, is focused on helping
your app respond to tropo callbacks, not making calls to tropo. Both
services' HTTP API's are functional and well-documented, and I can
certainly work with 'em, I was just looking for a more elegant ruby
DSL.

Look at the actual "twilio" gem (i.e., not the one they put out named
twilio-ruby or whatever).  It's MUCH better.  It has the logic for
sending/calling via their REST API and responding to the callbacks
wrapped pretty nicely.

Hi,

We?re Raritan, located on Jones Franklin Road in Raleigh. We've built an iOS
application for one of our main products, Power IQ. We are looking for an
intern to assist with the enhancement to this iOS application.

The description:

We?re looking for a intern with object-oriented experience who is ambitious
and wants to become a great developer. Ideally, you have experience with
Objective-C and iOS development, or experience with compiled languages, or a
keen mind and a strong desire to do mobile application development.

Our main product Power IQ, a power management tool, is deployed in hundreds
of data centers around the world. We support a large number of power strips
and other hardware appliances. The iOS application enhances our main product
by providing mobile appropriate functions.

As an intern, you will be adding controllers and views to our mobile
application, targeting a well-defined and specific set of enhancements.

The Power IQ platform is based on Ruby on Rails, so you will also get
exposure to the best web framework around.

If you?re interested, contact me or careers at raritan.com.

Regards,

Trent Albright

I'm not sure if you're looking for a paid solution, but the folks at EzTexting have recently released a Ruby Gem for their service.  I haven't played around with it yet, but I had bookmarked it last week to take a closer look when I had the chance:

Hey folks, due to various factors I don't yet have a meeting planned
for this coming Tuesday. How about lightning talks? To ensure we don't
all end up listening to crickets, I need to get at least six people to
commit to giving a 3-5 minute talk. Just chime in on this thread if
you're willing and able.

Also, feel free to chime in if there's a lightning talk you'd like to
hear - a topic you want to hear a bit more about that might inspire
someone else to share with us.

Thanks,

Fellow Rubyists,

Basho Technologies, my employer and maker of the Riak "NoSQL"
database, is looking for a top-notch Ruby Developer for contract,
possibly long-term or contract-to-hire, to do various projects with
our customers.  You would be working with Ripple
(https://github.com/seancribbs/ripple) and other Ruby tools to help
develop our customers' applications that use Riak. Familiarity with
Riak is helpful but not required; the main qualification is the
ability to deliver well-written and reliable code in a timely fashion.
You would also get to work with our outstanding team of Engineers and
Developer Advocates on other challenging problems. Some travel may be
required, depending on customer needs.

If this interests you and you are available immediately, please email
John Hornbeck <hornbeck at basho.com>, VP Client Services, with your
resume and a message expressing your interest and qualifications.
Links to GitHub projects and live applications you have worked on are
encouraged!

Cheers,

Sean Cribbs <sean at basho.com>

I could potentially do a lightning talk on failure. I think it's a topic not
discussed often enough.

Don't know enough about PCI or HIPAA to talk to those, sorry Jimmy.

I'll do a talk about some Heroku infrastructure. I'm going to be giving a longer talk at Velocity in a few weeks and I can pull a section from that talk and give it standalone.

Great, so we've got 4 - can we get 2 more before the day is over?
Could be on anything - a cool piece of open source you used, a project
you're working on, something you learned about
[profiling|debugging|whatever], etc.

You know you want to,

I can probably give a short demo of a little hack I did last Friday to
generate manual testing scripts from Cucumber features/step
definitions.

I can do one showing how we are doing multi-tenanting of an app, choosing
the correct layout/template, based on domain and/or subdomain.

Given that I know several people on this list have done Couch to 5k, I think
it would be interesting to hear your experience with the program and what it
was like to go through that process.

Message-ID: <3B45A140-ACA3-4BBB-829C-8AC217F11856@ismedia.org>

Hi all,

The PragProg's are having a Ruby-related 40-percent off sale that ends today. In looking at the qualifying titles (http://pragprog.com/news/rails-sale-40-off), I see Programming Ruby 1.9.

Now, if I didn't already have David Black's Well-Grounded Rubyist, I'd bite in a second. But, having Well-Grounded Rubyist, would there still be enough benefit in picking-up the Pickaxe?

Thanks,

Nathan

I think so but it's up to you.

The pickaxe is a much better Reference to Ruby IMHO.  I read the WGR
once, but I keep going back to the pickaxe, usually the electronic
version, now that the 1.9 edition is available as an ePub and works
nicely on my iPad.

Dave T, and David B have different styles the tutorial sections of
each might strike different people differently.

Now, TWGR does have a blurb on the back cover and not one but two nice
acknowledgements of a certain local Rubyist, one of those right after
the mention of Guy Decoux (an accident of the alphabet I'm sure).

Subject: [raleigh.rb] Looking for a Ruby and Rails Tutor
Message-ID: <BANLkTik0fH2DvcT0kDG_LmnT0H+52OrQSQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hi, I've been a programmer for many years and have a good deal of experience
with a range of languages and frameworks.  However, over the last year I've
been putting time here and there into an app I'm writing in Ruby and Rails.
 The longer I work on this, the more I realize I don't know about Rails and
Ruby in general.  As a result, I run into issues that are, to me, somewhat
impenetrable.

I'm looking to find someone who would be willing to be a tutor to me and
answer questions as they come up.  This would, of course, be paid.

For example, I want to create some sort of process that listens for updates
from the Twitter Streaming API.  Conceptually I know that I can do that
using the Daemon gem.  I also found a plugin to generate Daemons for RoR.  I
generated a Daemon and all I can get it to do is dump errors into its log.
 I simply don't know enough to get past this issue and using Google is not
really helping me find the answers.  And, besides, 90% of the time I don't
understand why the answers that I find work or, in some cases, how to
actually use the answer at all.

As another example, I eventually want to expose an API to my application.
 However, I haven't really paid any mind to RESTful urls or routing and I'm
concerned I'm coding myself into a corner.

I'm hoping that whoever I work with would be able to take some time as these
things come up and help me out.  I'm happy to pay a fair rate for your time.
 I may even end up having you do some work here and there for me.

I'm currently working with:

Ruby 1.8 and 1.9 (I just switched to 1.9.2 yesterday)
Rails 3
Postgres
Heroku
OS X (locally)

I'm not quite sure what else to volunteer at this point.  If you're
interested, drop me an email and let me know how you could help.  If you
have questions, email on this list or to me personally would be welcomed.

Thanks a lot for your time!

In case it makes a difference, I'm not looking for onsite tutoring.  I'm
really looking for someone I could IM, email or call to discuss issues with.
 I have an Adobe Connect room and can do screen sharing as well.  So no one
need deal with me in person. :)

Message-ID: <F8569A1F-4539-4725-BDD0-D489BFA61575@ismedia.org>

Hi all,

I'm converting my shop from svn to Git shortly. Along the way, I'm adding some policy enforcement and issue notifications via hooks. RSpec fits well and testing my commit-msg hook is pretty straightforward. The (small) issue I have is in testing a post-receive hook for when code is pushed to the origin server.

I'd like to create a test repository for use in testing the objects I'm building. The question I have is, where to put it? My spec/ directory doesn't feel quite right, nor does vendor/

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Nathan

Subject: [raleigh.rb] Rails question
Message-ID: <BANLkTim0TxbKaRc7+4LA4Z1WS32itANm7w@mail.gmail.com>

I was wondering if anyone on this list could tell me how to call a
controller function in Rails 3 from outside that controller?  Specifically,
I've created a daemon that handles a Twitter Site Stream to watch tweets.
 When a tweet comes in I need to call a function on one of my controllers.
 The controller is TopicsController and the method is quick_rating.  Doing
the following results in nothing happening that I can see:

TopicsController.quick_rating(various, args, go, here)

Any suggestions?  I figure that calling a controller method may not be
something you can do directly.  If so, do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks for the help,

The standard thinking is that the business logic you're interested in
calling should live on your models. The controller should be dedicated
to the task of passing the request parameters in to the business
method and giving the result to the client in the form it wants. This
pattern is called fat model, skinny controller.

That's not a bad pattern for you to follow here, probably. Your daemon
is itself a kind of controller, receiving tweet requests instead of
HTTP requests. If you move the business logic into a model, you can
have both your rails HTTP controller and your homegrown twitter
controller call it.

Calling controller functions directly is not something I've ever attempted. Would it make sense to have whatever is in that method moved into your model classes?

Here's something that might be helpful. Twitter streaming gem + daemon
examples. Give it a whack.

Thanks!  I actually got this stuff working yesterday. I discovered that the
daemon gem's _ctl scripts have a run method which runs it in the current
console so I can see output as it works.  That was really helpful.  It
turned out that the gemfile.lock for my rails app specified a few gems from
Rails 3.0.3 while I had 3.0.7 installed.  I changed the version numbers in
that file and viola, it worked.  I'm not sure how I figured that out, but I
did!

At this point I'm able to handle data streaming in and I just need to pass
data into my Model.

One last point about the tutoring I'm looking for.  I'm not looking to be
able to just call or IM whenever I want.  It's more that I'd setup a time
and work with the person.  I'm not looking to just interrupt people while
they're working. :)

Ah, this make sense.  In other languages I've worked in you'd tend to
specify services that would act as a facade and orchestrated more complex
work with Model-level components.  From my readings about Rails, it seemed
like most people were putting this type of orchestration code in their
controllers, especially when the business logic necessitates working with
multiple objects.

Is there a pattern followed commonly in Rails development where a set of
services would be created to provide, essentially, a simplified interface
that the controllers could talk to instead of talking directly to business
objects in the Model?

Yes. The Presenter Pattern. If you Google around for this you'll get a
lot of hits, but if you're using Rails 3, stick to the most recent
information. Rails 3 and ActiveModel have made it simpler to make a
Presenter behave like an ActiveRecord object (sans persistence) -
which makes it work with form helpers, etc.

Here's an intro to ActiveModel: http://railscasts.com/episodes/219-active-model

Also, the Rails Antipatterns book introduces the Presenter Pattern as
a solution to fat controllers.

Thanks for allowing me to come pitch TorqueBox to you guys last month,
I enjoyed it. I posted the slides and a bit of followup on the
TorqueBox blog: http://torquebox.org/news/2011/04/20/raleighrb-preso/

Since then, we've released 1.0, and are releasing 1.0.1 today with
some nice boot & deploy speed improvements (among other
fixes/enhancements).

(I intended to send this out over a month ago, but just found that
version in my drafts folder. Apologies for the late delivery!)

Subject: [raleigh.rb] Gem crashing Ruby?
Message-ID: <BANLkTikObHHacf4-wmBVdjjLQgtPqEvnsw@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I'm trying to make use of the FBgraph gem (https://github.com/nsanta/fbgraph)
in a Rails 3 app. I'm using version 1.8.0 of it. I think I'm using it
correctly, but every time I run a method that
calls FBGraph::Client.new(....) ruby crashes with this output:

Process finished with exit code 133

I'm not so much asking for help with FBgraph, but help figuring out why this
is crashing.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could track this
down?  I'm not seeing anything useful output to the console or into the
logs.

I'd try to step through the gem's code to find out where exactly it's dying,
but I'm not quite sure how to do that. If I wanted to get the raw source for
this gem from github, where would I put this in my rails app to test it?
Would I just stick it under /lib?

Thanks for the help!

Hi Doug,

My first starting point would be to remove Rails from the equation. Instead of debugging the gem through your app, find the gem directory on your system, and see if there are any tests to run. A number of gems just need to have 'rake' run in the top level directory to execute the test suite.

Presuming you're on OS X and not running rvm, look in the following directory: /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems

If the tests pass (and it may be easier to see if there's a github project for the gem you can clone), I'd next turn to IRB and see if you can create an object instance. This would also be my suggestion if it turns out there are no tests.

Cheers,

Nathan

Thanks for the feedback.  I actually tracked the issue down to Typhoeus.  I
can't remember the exact line of code, but it was waaaay deep in the stack.
 I think the issue may have actually been how FBgraph was using it (via a
few other gems).  In the end I threw out FBgraph and went for Koala.

Interestingly, Koala uses Typhoeus too, but works just fine.

What do you all use for unit testing JavaScript in your Rails applications?
 I have a CI testing environment, and would like to include automated
JavaScript tests as part of the CI process.  There are countless half-baked
testing solutions out there, I'm interested in learning from your real world
experience.  What works?

The solution I'm looking for needs be headless (i.e. we can run it on our
build server without needing human intervention).

Thanks,

I'm going with Jasmine for bdd style testing, and expect to use http://code.google.com/p/phantomjs/ for headless CI execution. There is a Jasmine ruby gem that makes cli easy, but I don't know that it works flawlessly according to your standards. I cannot use the gem out of the box because I am using require.js for JS dependencies, and therefore currently maintain a SpecRunner.html file. I would love to hear back when you get your solution running!

I'm really intrigued by zombie.js:

Haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but Assaf's a smart cookie.

It seems that so far, DOM emulation has been a tough nut to crack. Do you perceive this has overcome that challenge, using JSDOM? Is that better than having the DOM of Webkit, or is it that having Node.js as the runtime makes the tradeoff worth it?

Haven't tried it yet, so can't say. But I think workable browser
emulation is an eventuality - a matter of when, not if. PhantomJS
looks pretty cool as well, though - have to check that out.

Zombie.js seems significantly lighter weight than PhantomJS, which I
find is a plus in some situations. I also have a completely
unconfirmed hunch Zombie's also a bit faster for most things.

FYI, ran across this short presentation while Googling around:

  http://jquery.bassistance.de/webtesting/presentation.html

Good run down of the options and trade-offs.

I've had good experiences with thoughtbot's capybara-webkit, although I have
not yet gone through the gyrations to set it up on a CI server.
http://robots.thoughtbot.com/post/4583605733/capybara-webkit.

I liked not having to learn something new, and those BDD javascript
libraries look to me like everything I don't like about rspec, not the good
parts.

It is headless and drives a webkit installation via QT.  It's not really
browser emulation in that sense, but working with a real browser.  Not all
of them, obviously, but at least it's something.  I found it pretty easy to
get integrated into a capy/cuke/Rails 3 stack and am running it happily in
our test suite in terms of speed.  We do have a pretty small suite for now,
but as it grows over time, you already tag the tests you want JS integration
for with @javascript, so it would be easy to train cuke to have a couple of
different modes for rendering.

I had to tweak the boot timeout settings, but poke around in what's
available on Github and you can find what you're looking for if it's not
quite working right.

The documentation points to a particular window manager you can have
installed on the box to allow QT to do its thing in headless mode.  I can't
speak to it actually working or not, but the thoughtbot guys are pretty
serious about CI, so I presume it's possible.

I haven't seen a good javascript unit tester. I've had better luck with
integration tests.  I started with watir, which actually plugged in to
windows and ran IE as if you were typing it in.  That's how I got started
with Ruby.

Lately I've just started using SeliniumIDE, which records your keystrokes to
