Given:
And the following promo codes exists:
| Code | Expire At | Percentage Off |
| 10OFF | 2011-10-10 | 10 |
| 50OFF | 2012-10-10 | 50 |
When Cucumber’s env.rb contains:
require ‘factory_girl/step_definitions’
it conflicts with pickle which has the same step definition. One solution is to use —guess when running your test, but this is ugly.
Instead, get rid of these factory_girl’s step definitions and go with pickle. One small caveat:
And the following promo codes exists:
| code | expire_at | percentage_off |
| 10OFF | 2011-10-10 | 10 |
| 50OFF | 2012-10-10 | 50 |
Note the columns naming (pickle doesn’t recognize them so smart as factory_girl does).

Idea was shown by @rbates in http://railscasts.com/episodes/186-pickle-with-cucumber.
Capybara is here to replace Webrat, table_at method is not longer available out of the box.
I published a gist which works fine for me at the moment:
As you can see, I additionally strip out meta characters such as “\n” and include TH cells within the table (I use them often).

If you have a form in Rails you draw validation error messages anywhere inside it. Most common approach looks like:
= form_for @somwthing do |f|
= render “shared/error_messages”, :target => @something
But what if you have nested or custom objects rather than your :target? In some cases nested errors would be drawn (depends on specifics of implementation). But sometimes you just want to do
@something.errors[:base] « “Custom error message” inside your controller
OR simply
errors[:base] « “Custom error message” in your model
One way - unify look of the error_messages partial and render it for each specific target like:
= render “shared/error_messages”, :target => @something
= render “shared/error_messages”, :target => @something.else
= render “shared/error_messages”, :target => @whatever
Ugly.
Solution I found:
Of course could be cleaned up in some ways, but it serves my needs well.

Was tinkering around for the subject in the morning. That’s how I solved it:

Quick note:
ALWAYS include mixins used in particular sass file right into it, not in the main application.sass, like this:
@import ‘mixins/clearfix’
@import ‘forms’
When compiling for production environment, sass parser will complain about missing mixin ‘clearfix’ if it used in forms. Just do
@import ‘mixins/clearfix’
right inside the forms.sass. The reason - different order of parsing for different environments.

I believe it worth sharing.
Had a problem last week - cannot continue backing up to Western Digital World Edition NAS 1,5Tb. TIme Machine simply says “Making backup disk available”, then silently stops doing anything.
TimeMachine Buddy widget showed error “-43”, so I spent a few hrs on wdc.com and apple.com discussions and finally found working solution:
It is caused by a broken database for the timemachine share,
SSH into the box and issue the command: rm -rf /DataVolume/.timemachine/.AppleDB
This will clear the database and a new one will be created once you setup the network share again from your mac.
This way you won’t have to re-format your whole drive and no files will be deleted other than the backup.

Then I repaired verified/repaired sparsebundles, as described here.
Now it simply works again.
