Mocking Rails, for SPEED

DISCLAIMER: This article is by no means related to the recent quarrel about TDD's death (be it presumed or actual), nor to this article or these hangouts.

Now that we're clear let us get to the real title:

How I test Rails stuff without loading Rails and learned to use mkdir

Chapter 1: mkdir1

this chapter is quite brief and straightforward…

Starting from Rails 3 every folder you create under app will be used for autoloading, this means that you can group files by concern2 instead of grouping them by MVC role, or you maybe want to add new "roles".

For example the app I'm currently working on contains looks like this:

app/ ├── admin ├── assets ├── authentication ├── authorization ├── controllers ├── forms ├── helpers ├── journaling ├── mailers ├── models ├── proposals ├── utils └── views

The journaling folder contains journal.rb (a simple Ruby class) and journal_entry (an ActiveRecord model).

Chapter 2: Rails not required

Talking about that Journal, it doesn't really need Rails to be used, it's ok with any JournalEntry-ish object that exposes this API:

class FauxJournalEntryClass < Struct.new(:difference, :user, :model_type, :model_id, :action) def save! @persisted = true end def persisted? @persisted end end

So it can be used and tested without loading rails, that gives opportunity to have the corresponding spec to give us really fast feedback. Enter a lighter version of our spec_helper:

# spec/spec_helper.rb RSpec.configure do |config| # yada, yada, rspec default config from `rspec --init` end

along with a speedy spec:

require 'light_spec_helper' require File.expand_path('../../app/journal/journal', __FILE__) describe Journal do # examples here... end

and have the normal spec_helper to load the light one:

# spec/spec_helper.rb require 'light_spec_helper' # stuff coming from `rails generate rspec:install`...

Chapter 3: Mocking Rails

…without making fun of it

With time i often found myself in the need to add a logger, to check current environment or to know the app's root from this kind of plain classes.

In a Rails app the obvious choices are Rails.logger, Rails.env and Rails.root. In addition I really can't stand that File.expand_path and light_spec_helper, they're just ugly.

My solution was to:

have a faux Rails constant that quacks like Rails in all those handy methods

add the most probable load paths into the light spec_helper

rename the the rails-ready spec_helper to rails_helper and keep the light helper as the default one

Here's how it looks:

# spec/spec_helper.rb require 'bundler/setup' require 'pathname' unless defined? Rails module Rails def self.root Pathname.new(File.expand_path("#{__dir__}/..")) end def self.env 'test' end def self.logger @logger ||= begin require 'logger' Logger.new(root.join("log/#{env}.log")) end end def self.cache nil end def self.fake? true end def self.implode! class << self %i[fake? cache logger env root implode!].each do |m| remove_method m end end end end end $:.unshift *Dir[File.expand_path("#{Rails.root}/{app/*,lib}")] RSpec.configure do |config| # yada, yada, rspec default config from `rspec --init` end

Notice anything of interest? I bet you already guessed what Rails.implode! does…

Here's the shiny new rails_helper:

ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test' require 'spec_helper' Rails.implode! if Rails.respond_to? :implode! require File.expand_path('../../config/environment', __FILE__) require 'rspec/rails' # Requires supporting ruby files with custom matchers and macros, etc, # in spec/support/ and its subdirectories. Dir[Rails.root.join('spec/support/**/*.rb')].each do |f| f = Pathname(f).relative_path_from(Rails.root.join('spec')) require f end ActiveRecord::Migration.maintain_test_schema! # rails 4.1 only RSpec.configure do |config| # stuff coming from `rails generate rspec:install`... end

Conclusion

The introduction of Spring in Rails 4 has actually made all this stuff useless, running RSpec through it makes it blazingly fast.

Sorry if I wasted your time and I didn't even make you smile.

I don't actually use mkdir, I know how to use my editor ↩

tasha; OMG I WAS BULLIED U SCUMSUCKERS THIS IS ACTUAL HARASSMENT YOU ARE BULLYING ME!!!!1! BULLYING!!1!!2!

[tdconfessioncam]

Not really a confession but more a question...when did the fandom stop caring about respecting each others opinions? I mean seriously, It's ok to not like a character or a ship, but it's another to shove that hate down everyone's throat. I've already begun blacklisting the negatives of everything, all the un-needed hate and arguments, yet they still find their way back, tagged as something new and it's really just getting depressing.

I’m gonna say right around when people read disliking a character as a personal attack.

Or when people responded to critiquing a ship with shit like “you’re a horrible person and I hate you”.

Or when people started thinking that being bullied gave them a right to bully other people.

Or when people started treating having an unpopular opinion like being oppressed.

Or when people ignore their own behavior and say they’re being bullied for having an unpopular opinion.
