- asset pipeline testing with RSpec render_views
I’m trying to test the asset pipeline configuration in our project. I’ve tweaked our test environment to it won’t automatically compile assets;
environments/test.rb:
…
if ENV[‘ASSET_PIPELINE’]
config.assets.compile = false
else
config.assets.compile = true
end
…
alas in controller specs that have render_views, breaks:
ActionView::Template::Error:
controllers/application.js isn’t precompiled.
(which is not true)
in most cases I can remove render_views, but that’s not ideal.

To fix it, make sure digest is true.
- capybara-webkit + headless + lobot CI => Locking assertion failure
Tried sloppy locking and downgrading libx11 to 1.0.3, but no success.
Probably a Qt error, make sure Qt is 4.8.1 or 4.8.2 or try recompiling Qt or dependencies.

- rake db:test:prepare with spork
We got frustrated having to shut down spork every time we wanted to run a migration.
We dug in, and found that we needed to close the ActiveRecord::Base connections in the prefork block. ActiveRecord automatically reestablishes the connection post fork.
We opened a pull request on spork-rails with the fix:

- javascript:
Chrome and other browsers are now stripping out ‘javascript:’ from the beginning of urls that are pasted into the addressbar. This is not a problem with links that start with ‘javascript:’
- Head OK, empty body, JQuery == bad mixture
“Head OK” with an empty body returns a single space & confuses JQuery because a single-space string is invalid JSON. A work-around is to set the content-type to NOT be application/json. Or render :text => ” or render :json => {}
