gsub is great. It lets you replace characters in a string. All you have to do is give it a regex that will match whatever it is you want to replace and the string that you’d like to replace each match with. For example, if you wanted to replace the time of 18:00 with something a bit more human-readable, you could do the following: 'As always, tea time is at 18:00....
There are lot of options for concurrency in Ruby, from spawning child processes to using threads, ractors and Async. Each have their merits and drawbacks, but one of the simplest and most effective ways to run code concurrently is to use Fibers. In my use-case, I want to do some work and, in the background, perform some network requests. Network I/O is blocking, so I want to make sure I’m doing productive work on the main thread while I wait for the network requests to complete....
Trying to run tests in parallel in your CI/CD pipeline is tricky at the best of times, but what if you have tests which should only be run in a certain environment and not as part of the CI build stage? It is fairly simple to just tag a feature file with a unique tag that can then be passed to the bundle exec rake command in the functional-tests step, as an environment variable....
When a drone build is configured to both deploy and then delete AWS services, it is vital the AWS clean up step runs to maintain the AWS stacks within their limit. To ensure these steps run before the build times out, you can wrap your cucumber command in the linux timeout command within the drone pipeline example: commands: - cd functional-tests || exit 1 - timeout -k 10 10m bundle exec rake test Linux Timeout The timeout command is a command-line utility that will run the specified command for a given period of time, once that period of time is reached if the given command is still running it will be terminated....
Traditionally, in functional testing, a clean up/tear down script would be run in something called an After hook. These hooks are part of the Cucumber DSL and are designed to execute when a scenario has finished. Cucumber example: After do |scenario| if scenario.failed? MultiLogger.clean_logs end end There is a drawback to these hooks where they will fail to run when certain exit codes are returned from the scenario or the program is interrupted....
