Interesting Things

• Nesting a javascript generator within a javascript generator does not work:

<code>
  new.rhtml:
  link_to_function "myFunction" do |page|
     page.insert_html :bottom, :partial => 'new_stuff'
   end

   _new_stuff.rhtml:
   link_to_function "remove" do |page|
     page.replace_html 'some_id', ""
   end
</code>

The quotes in the nested JS are not escaped properly.

• The plugin team introduced new email validation for the User plugin. They covered this with functional/unit tests within the plugin but projects using the plugin will need to update their own Selenium tests.

• Problems with initial start up of CrusieControl daemon script. J of cc.rb can take a look.
• Running Selenium on IE7 remotely

Interesting Things

• after_filter is called after the template is rendered, thus you cannot set instance variables in it and expect them to be available in the template. The after_filter method is good for post-render content manipulation or analysis such as gzipping, translating to pig latin or determining content-length. Perhaps it would be useful to add a before_render hook?
• Remember integration tests are for full stack http testing (routes, REST, etc). Functional tests do not test full stack. Integration tests require some special handling.
• After a reload on an association proxy object, the reference becomes a true Array (they always respond true to is_a?(Array). This means that none of the association proxy methods are available!

<code>
    class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
       has_many :bar
    end

    foo = Foo.new
    foo.bars.reload.build
    NoMethodError: undefined method `build' for []:Array
