Standup 11/13/2008: ActiveScaffold and Object Mothers

Pivotal Labs
Friday, November 14, 2008

Interesting Things

  • ActiveScaffold was surprisingly easy to use for admin interfaces. One possible gotcha is that you have to manually configure namespaced RESTful routes (e.g. map.resources :tasks, :active_scaffold => true).

Ask for Help

“What are your current favorite Object Mother implementations or patterns?”

There are several approaches:

  • Factories-and-Workers
  • Object Daddy
  • Roll Your Own – Your Object Mother will likely be so domain specific that you should just write it from scratch.

“Does anyone know how to disable caching in Safari? Caching can often break JSUnit between test runs”

Go to Develop -> Disable Caches and you get a fresh non-caching Safari.
