 Hello all,

 I am trying to understand when I try to run a test in cucumber what I am 
 missing that it is failing. I am using FactoryGirl to create my records and 
 using cucumber to test my logic however I know that I am doing something 
 wrong in my testing I just can't seem to figure out what. Here is what I 
 have:

 Feature:

 Feature: All features related to staff info
   Scenario: notification for empty shirt size
 Given there is at least 1 staff info record
 When the shirt size field is empty
 And the shirt size check is run
 Then the system should send an email notification

 Steps:

 Given(/^there is at least (\d+) staff info record$/) do |arg1|
   assert_difference('StaffInfo.count', 1) do
 @staff_info = FactoryGirl.create :staff_info
   end
 end

 When(/^the shirt size field is empty$/) do
   assert @staff_info.update_attribute(:shirt_size, nil)
 end

 When(/^the shirt size check is run$/) do
   StaffInfo.check_empty_shirt_fields
 end

 Then(/^the system should send an email notification$/) do
   pending # express the regexp above with the code you wish you had
 end

 Model:

 class StaffInfo  ActiveRecord::Base
   belongs_to :person
   scope :empty_shirt_fields, - { where('shirt_size in (?)', [nil, '']) }
   
   def self.check_empty_shirt_fields
 staff_with_missing_shirt_sizes = StaffInfo.empty_shirt_fields
 debugger
 send_empty_shirt_size_notification staff_with_missing_shirt_sizes if 
 staff_with_missing_shirt_sizes.size   0
   end
   
   def send_empty_shirt_size_notification(staff_records)
 Mailer.missing_shirt_size(staff_records).deliver
   end
 end

 What is happening is, when I hit the 3rd test I did a check to see if the 
 record was present (StaffInfo.count) and it was. But after running   
 StaffInfo.check_empty_shirt_fields, I did a check for the record and it was 
 gone. I am not understanding how my record could have disappeared when I 
 all my method was doing was checking for any records with a missing field.

 Anyone have any ideas?



 Vell,

One way to be able to find out what is happening is:

a) tag your scenario with @pause, that will pause after each step.
b) Open a terminal and have a look at the test log file: tail -f 
log/test.log

That way you can see what is happening in the test database at each step, 
and when records are created, and/or the database is cleared.

P.S. It would also be a better idea to post your question in the cucumber 
email list if you still have problems

 @Kosmas, 

 Thanks again for the Slicing Pie book, I bought it last night and read 
 it in one sitting. Very interesting and it gave me a solid ground for 
 what I was already thinking. 


No problem Yves, Glad you found it interesting and helpful.
I thought the same way when I was told about it.
I think it makes sense, and it sounds fair.


 Now, I need to validate what type of pie and Grunt Fund can work out. If 
 someone would be offering a pie that looks like this: 

 50% of profit for the next 2 years with a possibility of converting some 
 of this profit into a 25% equity after the 2 years. This applies of 
 course to all the Grunts working on the project and I am looking at 2 or 
 3 grunts max. 

 Would that be enticing enough? 


I think that depends on the Grunts :-) , and their situation at the time 
you decide how you want to go about it.
To me it sounds fair.
There is also a spreadsheet that may help you make your calculations.
Have you seen it?

 Hi RoR developers 

 I am interested in hearing your thoughts on this. I will very shortly 
 develop a web application for the eLearning industry in a SaaS model. I 
 have a good idea and some very good contacts in the industry. I am more 
 of a .NET person but decided to make it in Ruby in order to have the 
 capability to adapt the product more rapidly and let’s face it, the 
 starting cost with the technology are much more attractive. 

 Now, I could do it on my own over time but I would like to have 2 or 3 
 experienced RoR devs with me in this endeavor.  Their expertise would 
 speed up the development, complement my own skills in product and 
 software development and make it much more fun and interesting. The 
 issue I am facing right now is that at this point, I don’t want to give 
 away any equity in the project and I am not a startup with a cashflow 
 where I can pay developers an hourly rate. What I am, is a father of two 
 with a day job and an entrepreneurial spirit whose take on software 
 development and life is very similar to the folks at 37Signals (now 
 Basecamp). 

 What I want is to have an amazing life-work balance and work on 
 something I love. I am committed to build a great team of dedicated 
 individuals who will also have an amazing life-work balance, where every 
 member will have a say in the direction of the product and where money 
 will not be a preoccupation (meaning that they will earn much more than 
 any other place for the same type of job). I will always remain private 
 and never seek public or VC funds so don’t expect a Cinderella story. I 
 have been exposed too much to a public company modus operandi to know 
 that I don’t want this model. 

 Now, my question to you is what business model would make it interesting 
 for experienced devs to share the risks? Beside eventually be part of a 
 company with the aforementioned description, what would you consider an 
 interesting proposition to develop the product on your spare time (a few 
 hours per week) until it takes off? Although I am not opened to give 
 away equity (for the moment at least), I am more than willing to share 
 the profits for a certain amount of time or up to a specific amount. 
 What would make it interesting to take on the risks? What would you 
 consider a win-win business model? 

 Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this 

 Yves
