Running tests before capistrano deploy
Posted by erick on 02/22/09
I wanted a simple way to remind myself to make sure my automated tests have been run before deploying. Since I didn’t really want to enforce it on the source control side I make a simple capistrano task to run before deploying to check.
You probably would not want to do this with a large project (or anything with long running tests). For this project I was just making sure cucumber tests would pass (I had made it the default rake task).
I just added this to my capfile, it will run the tests and make sure they pass before preceding.

Deal monitoring web service
Posted by erick on 02/17/09
Today I will be starting a new web application I have been meaning to do for a while. It is going to be a simple single-page app that lets you monitor the deal sites of the internet for something you want, site like slickdeals.net, zerodaydeals.com, fatwallet.com…
It will be located at http://dealwaiter.com
Usage will be very simple
Add ruby code to blog comments
Posted by erick on 02/12/09
For the fun of it I was experimenting with adding ruby code that would run from these blog posts. Then I though it might be interesting to allow it in the comments as well.
So now I can include ruby code (that will run) when embedded in [run]…[/run] tags. And the capability is also in the comments.
If code is included in [run]…[/run] the output will not be displayed. If the code is included in [run=]…[/run] tags then the last value will be displayed (to_s will be invoked on it). This is meant to be similar to the syntax in views.
