How to install a ruby build - dependent on mysql

-
Download the build from SVN .

Pre-requisite

Tortoise svn is setup and is working properly.
Ruby and rake are installed.

Steps

1. In any directory, create a new folder. Rename it to something like "Test build version 0.5 build 1".
2. Right click on the folder and select "SVN checkout" from the menu.
3. In the pop-up "Checkout", make sure the "URL of repository" field has the correct data.
4. Now in the "Revision" heading, select the "Revision" check box and enter the revision number (say "333").
5. Click on "ok".

Result:
The build gets downloaded to the new directory you created in step 1.

Configuring the build.

1.  Now go to the directory "Test build version 0.5 build 1". Navigate to config->database.yml
2. Edit the file "database.yml".
3. Under the heading "development", change the database field to something like "Testdatabase_05_2".
4. Change the password to current password of "mysql database".
5. Save the file.

Creating the above database in mysql.

1. Open a command prompt and type the following command.

>mysql -uroot -proot123

Root is the user name.
root123 is the password.

Note that there is no space between -u and the username.

Here is the output from the command prompt.

Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 18
Server version: 5.0.51b-community-nt MySQL Community Edition (GPL)

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

Now type the following command "create database Testdatabase_05_2".

mysql> create database Testdatabase_05_2
    -> ;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql>

Now we have created the database "Testdatabase_05_2".

Populating the database with data (using rake)

1. open a command prompt.
2. Go to the directory where the build is downloaded. ie "Test build version 0.5 build 1".
3. Run the rake command to populate the database "rake db:schema:load ".
4. You will get some output which denotes that the database is populated.

Running the server.

1. Navigate to the directory where build is downloaded.
2. Run the ruby command to start the server.
eg:

E:
cd E:\ParasharBuilds\Parashar version 0.5 build 2
ruby script/server --port=3005

The pesky scrollbars on Remote desktop - Finally fixed!!

  The problem We always had scrollbars (vertical as well as horizontal) when we connect to remote desktop (eg: nftRunbox01). This meant we had to scroll up and down many times to work on rotheram environments.  Full screen was an option, but we wanted to see the taskbar as well as the messages from skype (Paul). I remember my colleagues would not allow pairing unless the scroll bar issue was fixed. :)  We ended up editing rdp files and what we tried to do was... desktopwidth:i:1437 desktopheight:i:865 session bpp:i:24 winposstr:s:0,1,0,20,1437,865 We changed the winposstr values so that horizontal and vertical scroll bars disappear. This was a trial and error method and consumed a lot of time (10 to 15 mts). I looked at a few open source projects and found a project on sourceforge which solved the problem. I was still looking for a way (easier) to solve the scroll bar issue. Solution Just add the following line to your .rdp file. smart sizing:i:1 Old RDP File desktopw...

I found redcritter as one of the apps under microsoft webmatrix. Searching for this software revealed on its own terms "RedCritter Tracker is ideal for software projects or other projects that require a "what's next" type of approach. It works for multiple teams or even individuals. RedCritter Tracker is the only project management service with badges, rewards, leaderboards and real-time Twitter-style feeds" Webmatrix gives me an option to publish it from my local computer. The second option is to publish it from the cloud. The local setup The installation was a breeze. I am creating my first account. Email: manoj.tharayil@gmail.com Username in gmail. Uploading to an azure website, does not seem to be complicated. The azure website was created easily. http://manojagile.azurewebsites.net/ This software gives me rights to add only three users in the free version. This is nota good idea!! Time to move on to something else!!

API Testing with Rest Assured - Validating the json schema

Sometimes you would get a json response while testing web applications. To make sure that all fields are present, but at the same time keeping the tests generic, you might write something like this given below.(although, a newbie way of writing tests)  @Category(RegressionTests.class)     @Test     public void verifyResponseByValidatingPresenceOfAllFields() {         given().                 param("product", "HomeLoan").                 param("fromHomeLoanId", -100).         when().                 get("/loans").         then().                 statusCode(200).                 contentType(ContentType.JSON).                 body(containsString("loans"))....
