- WED: Packaging a Rails app
A client needs to create a packaged version of their Rails app which can be installed on a machine that does not have internet access nor root access. Any recommendations for how to build a portable ruby, with gems? JRuby? Tokaido?
- WED: Add a banner to jasmine runner
We have multiple jasmine test suites that we need to switch once in a while but sometimes we run the wrong suite by mistake. Is there a way to have a banner to identify which jasmine suite is running? Like having the project’s name on it?
- WED: Patience with growth, esp Tuesday lunch
- THUR: Jasmine!!?
PLEASE ROLL THIS FORWARD TO WEDNESDAY’S WHITEBOARD.
We wrote a Jasmine matcher that returned an object (or undefined) expecting the truth-iness of that value to determine whether the matcher succeeded.
When running in Chrome, that was fine. But when we ran headless via chromedriver it resulting in the following error:
Failure/Error: fail out unless spec_results['result'] == 'passed'
RuntimeError:
TypeError: Converting circular structure to JSON
Changing our matcher’s return value to !!object (making it true/false) fixed it.
WHY!!?
- THUR: Force download dialog on opening file in development
We’re using thin/rack as a rails dev server. We want to force the browser to open a download dialog for certain file types (.txt) that it wants to open and display itself. We’ve found that we need to set "Content-Disposition: attachment" in the headers, but how do we set the headers in thin/rack? We don’t serve the files through Rails.

- WED: Paperclip …#url + :filesystem != URL
Using the :filesystem storage option in Paperclip, the #url method returns a relative path, not a url. I consider this false advertising, but that’s out of my control. If you change the :url option to include a host, e.g. http://localhost/, you must also edit :path, otherwise the default :path (where :filesystem will store the images) will be public:url (that is, Rails.root/publichttp;/…)
- WED: Rails SQL injection
Apparently the parameters hash can be exploited to select form arbitrary tables. This is fixed in 3.2.6, 3.1.6, 3.0.14 and a patch is available for Rails 2. See the following links for details:

- THUR: Capybara "within" block
"within" scopes page to whatever elements are inside the within selector, but does NOT scope page.body or page.source.
