(Ruby) Watchr config for use with PHPUnit

Thu, 31 Mar 2011 14:28:22 GMT

A simple [Watchr](https://github.com/mynyml/watchr) config for running PHPUnit tests. This will run a [Pake](https://github.com/indeyets/pake/wiki) task called "test" and ring the system bell if the task fails. *Ringing the system bell* is especially nice when running inside a GNU Screen session. *Installation* To install you need [RubyGems](http://rubyforge.org). Then type: sudo gem install watchr

(Ruby) Howto set up a Rake task to run RSpec spec docs

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 21:23:31 GMT

A `rake :spec` task, is created by default just from including the RSpec rake module. The way to *stop RSpec tasks from failing* the entire Rake job when a test barfs, is by setting `fail_on_error` to false.

(Ruby) How to call JavaScript in the Application Under Test, from Selenium

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 13:14:43 GMT

When writing functional tests with Selenium, it is often convenient to call JavaScript functions and methods, that are part of the Web application you are testing. After all, Selenium is a functional testing framework for Web UI and most of the exciting bits of Web UI are JS (sorry, all you CSS hackers, but them's the facts). The problem is that it's not immediately obvious how you can access the DOM of the Application Under Test (AUT). Selenium Core (in which all Selenium tests execute) is a frame set, and if you simply try to call your JavaScript with `getEval`, you'll get an error because `getEval` references Selenium Core's DOM, not the DOM of the AUT. Fortunately the answer is simple. Use `this.browserbot.getCurrentWindow()` to get a reference to the `window` object in *your* DOM. Then you can execute any of the JS that lives in your page, right from Selenium! This example uses the Ruby driver, but the principle is the same regardless of which language you use.

(Other) How to configure the output format of the W3 CSS Validator

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 11:53:08 GMT

The W3 CSS validator is pretty simple to [install locally for use behind the firewall](http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/FlymakeCSS). However, by default the validator spits out the whole CSS file after validation, which is inconvenient if your stylesheet is more than a few lines long. Unfortunately it's not so obvious how to configure the validator to give pretty-printed, human-readable output. In fact, all there is to it, is to choose a different output format from the several that are supported :) By default the validator .jar file gives you "text" output, which includes the stylesheet. To choose a different format, invoke the validator .jar file with an -output argument, like this: java -jar css-validator.jar -output local-file:foo.css where `` is any of xhtml, xml, text, soap12, json, ucn or gnu If you just want the errors as (html-escaped) plain text, but without the CSS included, use `gnu`

(JavaScript) Find Verbose IDs in the DOM

Tue, 27 May 2008 17:08:12 GMT

Traverses the DOM tree and reports if any IDs are over 30 characters in length. Doesn't check for doubled IDs because that's caught when validationg the HTML.
