Lobot needs YOU

How do RubyMine inspections work?

I have a module that creates methods dynamically, but I want Command-B to work for those methods.

Interestings

before_save on: :create fails silently

before_save and after_save will happily take an on: :create option, and then completely ignore it. before_validation takes an on: :create option, and actually works, which is why it feels natural to put on: :create after a before or after save.

The right answer, apparently, is to use before_create or after_create.

Resque worker shutting down on Heroku – solved

We recently added the resque-pool gem which does alias_method on the resque worker shutdown? method to look at the pid of the process being shutdown. On Heroku this always evaluates to true.
Takeaway message don’t add resque-pool gem to your gemfile for an heroku application.

Any Good iOS Analytics Tools?

Has anyone tried/prefer any particular iOS analytics tools? We’re looking at Google Analytics, Flurry, and Mixpanel. Per-user drill downs would be nice and all features we need are supported by all three (custom events with extra data and session tracking).

Dying Heroku Resque Worker

We’ve got a resque worker on Heroku that dies instantly without any error. When we created one in a rails console it looked as though it was receiving a shutdown signal.
