Howdy Guys,
I'm in the midst of trying to find out why the selenium driver doesn't seem
to work with my setup. That being:
- Rails3
- Cucumber 0.10.0
- Capybara 0.4.1.2
- Selenium WebDriver 0.1.2
- Launchy 0.3.7
- And I have libffi installed
- MacOSX 10.6.6
- Ruby 1.8.7 p3
If it were me, I'd drop this line inside env.rb:
require 'ruby-debug'; debugger
or in a Before hook, use n and s to get a feel for what it's doing,
set break breakpoints in cuke files at places I think it's going to
start failing and hit c, etc.
I use Before and After hooks to add more logging
Jason, can you post the actual scenario you're testing with? And your env.rb
too?
In my experience, Firefox will only start when you hit a step that uses
Capybara/Selenium, so if your scenario fails on a Given step which doesn't
require the browser, then it would exhibit the same behaviour you
Also, tried with --format pretty and maybe --expand ?

I've found the root cause of my problem.
Thanks Gregory for the tip. I went with that approach to diagnose the
problem. I stuck a breakpoint in a Before do end statement and then did the
following:
- cat StandardError (to breakpoint when a cucumber error was thrown)
- cont

At first I thought they must be so keen to employ us because we're cheaper (are
we?). But they want to pair. I wonder why they're so keen to pair with
Aussies... Maybe there's just no American devs left - maybe @github has finally
succeeded.

This is most likely a clear sign that there's a shortage of competent Ruby devs
in NY as well as Chicago (see:
http://nuts.redsquirrel.com/post/2680658687/chicagos-ruby-developer-crisis) -
time to raise my hourly rate again!
All jokes aside, maybe it's because E3 visas are easier to deal with t
It seems there's generally a Ruby developer shortage - NYC, Chicago, London,
Melbourne, Sydney... at what point does such an unbalanced employment market
become a liability?

Though the Sydney shortage seems to be for

It's worth keeping in mind that they aren't "targeting aussies". It just
happens that they are advertising positions for Australians because it's
on an Australian site. My money says that if you check on a british or
canadian equivalent of seek.com.au there would be ads encouraging them
to appl
Hah, fair point. I don't really hear about demand beyond Ruby work, so my view
of the bigger picture is definitely flawed.

I'd say that we're slap bang in the middle of lag that happens w
IMO it's worth considering how we can bring in more talent into our
industry though. Not enough that we put ourselves out of the fortunate
situation of being in-demand, but enough that the lag doesn't cause a
major crash if/when companies have to abandon Rails because they can't
find anyone to
My point is that my impression about work in Sydney at the moment is that
gigs usually require you to work with Ruby and .
And by the way, that's for next week.
I might be operating at a different level from some perhaps. But I'm hugely
disappointed with the local market at the moment, more so bec

The company that hired me has advertised on GitHub jobs (I think) and
definitely TopRubyJobs, saying that they'd hire remotely and pay
relocation costs. It wasn't targeted at foreigners, but definitely
inclusive of them. I'm not sure about others, though...

I tend to agree, this is probably also the point before the market gets flooded
with cut-price ex-PHP devs :)
The bigger liability I would say is the chance of another bubble - I'd much
prefer steady growth than a massive boom/bust cycle. A developer shortage may
be a symptom of a coming bubble
Ah yes.
My project has a non-standard database configuration (two database
connections) and I did not find DatabaseCleaner useful, so I do not
require 'cucumber/rails/active_record' in my env.rb and everything
works just fine (I do my own database cleaning in Before/After hooks).

You can pass -b I believe to Cucumber and it will throw a backtrace on failure.

-b didn't do a thing for me in this case. The error didn't produce any

Using the debugger was the only way to go.

I had this happen before and I think the --format pretty option made it show
the error. It's been a while, so it may be just all muddled up in the maelstrom.

Hi there,
I'm researching the ins and outs of writing a (open source) Gem that
delivers an API library for a REST API that is provided by a non Rails
app.
I'd love for this to ultimately have the same outcome as if one used
ActiveResource to map Rails REST API endpoints/resources as models in
you
