Time warp ruby gem
As you know, we at Iridesco now support multiple products. As I helped develop Co-op, I would copy and paste bits of useful code from Harvest. It weighed on me at the time; I felt more wet than DRY. With the successful launch and stabilization of Co-op, it is time to start extracting out shared code. While I am not one to slavishly shove round code into square shared repositories, our time warp testing technique was a great ruby gem candidate. The time-warp gem, also available as a plugin, is a small piece of Iridesco’s shared code base. It helps our tests to be very specific about the time in which they are running. We are grateful to all who shared code that ultimately was wrapped up into this ruby gem. Please visit the public github repository for installation and usage instructions. |
