Heres a rough test function for doing this conversion by reading the EXIF data on an image. More to come… def process_lat_lon if self.photo.to_s.match(“jpg$”) or self.photo.to_s.match(“JPG$”) or self.photo.to_s.match(“JPEG$”) or self.photo.to_s.match(“jpeg$”) a = EXIFR::JPEG.new(Rails.root.to_s + “/public” + “#{self.photo}”) #converts to ‘geopoint’ if(a.exif[0].gps_latitude and a.exif[0].gps_longitude) lat = a.exif[0].gps_latitude[0].to_f + (a.exif[0].gps_latitude[1].to_f / 60) + (a.exif[0].gps_latitude[2].to_f / 3600) long = a.exif[0].gps_longitude[0].to_f + (a.exif[0].gps_longitude[1].to_f / 60) + (a.exif[0].gps_longitude[2].to_f / 3600) long = long * -1 [ Read More ]
I was attempting to do high level integration testing in Ruby on Rails. This processes involves Capybara calling selenium (through selenium-webdriver) to bring up firefox in order to do some manipulation of the user interface to test my web app. I ran into an issue where Firefox4 would not start from the command line. The packages involved along with selenium are capybara 0.4.1.2, selenium webdriver 0.1.4, Rails 3.0.3, RSpec 2.4.0, [ Read More ]
After watching the Railscast about Capybara I decided to give it a try. As the Railscast says Capybara fills in the missing functionality in rspec/webrat integration testing where javascript calls are not testable. Initially I was planning on trying cucumber first, but I preferred to use Capybara because the syntax was very similar to webrat which I was already familiar with. Also the ability to open the browser Requires: RSpec [ Read More ]
In my recent attempt to use Devise as an authentication/authorization module with my Rails3 app I created some tests for testing a user controller as well as some integration tests. Here they are… Specs describe UsersController do include Devise::TestHelpers render_views describe "User functions" do before(:each) do @user1 = Factory(:user) @user2 = Factory(:user, :email => 'a2@b.com') @user3 = Factory(:user, :email => 'a3@b.com') @users = [@user1, @user2, @user3] @attr = { :email [ Read More ]

I found that simply copying the wordpress directory and moving the database wasn’t enough to perform a full migration. I wanted to be able to migrate multiple databases with a single button click, without having to log into each system and modify values. After [ Read More ]
I installed Rails3 and encountered one main error. After using rails to create a new project doing a rails -v caused an error with sqlite3. After searching around, I found that some people were using an old version of Xcode maybe the culprit. It would have taken too long for me to download Xcode so instead I installed an older version of sqlite. I’ll leave installing the newest version [ Read More ]
