• New Jasmine Gem

• jQuery opacity

Once the CSS opacity is set on an element with jQuery the z-index is no longer respected and the element appears on the bottom.

Leads:
Can it be reproduced in other browsers? Only tried Chrome so far.

Interestings

• Safari doesn’t like Rails timestamps

my_model.created_at or my_model.create_at.to_i spit out values that when you (in JavaScript) new Date(value), give crazy dates in Safari.

The workaround is to use:

(Ruby)
value = my_model.created_at.to_f * 1000

(JS)
date = new Date(value)

Discussion:
Try all browsers when dealing with a Date API
There’s also DateJS, but has not been maintained in a long time.

• Jasmine failed to start on latest Chrome

If you have an updated version of Chrome and jasmine fails to start Chrome, reinstalling later version of chrome driver (http://code.google.com/p/chromedriver/downloads/list).

Or alternative is to re-image the machine, which contains later Chrome and later ChromeDriver.

• bitbucket Tracker integration broken by ‘&’ in author name

We spent several hours tracking down this (open) bug in bitbucket’s tracker broker. You can change the ampersand to something else in your git-pair script.
