Testing CSV Download With Cucumber
Thanks to Upstream for their blog post on testing pdfs with cucumber.
Testing CSV download is exactly the same apart from that we do not need to turn the PDF to text, simply because…it isn’t a PDF…

Railscamp 09 UK – Margate
Letzte Woche haben wir das Railscamp UK 2009 besuchen können. Zusammen mit Sebastian haben wir uns mit dem Auto nach England auf den Weg gemacht. Nach zahlreichen Stunden (u.a. weil wir wegen eines Streiks der französischen Fähre See France 3 Stunden auf den Eurostar warten mussen) sind wir dann Freitag Abend mit einem Kasten Mate und einem Kasten Mühlen Kölsch in Margate angekommen. Zwei weitere spannende Tage haben wir dort verbracht. Neben Vorträgen wie CouchDB von Alexander Lang war auch wie Hacking, Gaming (We love urban terrror :) und Networking angesagt. Zusammen mit Rany haben wir unseren “google of counters” gebastelt (mehr dazu in einem weiteren Blogpost). Als Equipment diente uns dieses Jahr Bananajour – der Nachfolger von Gitjour bietet eine nette Weboberfläche um verfügbare Repositories zu sharen und clonen.
Ein paar Fotos vom Dreamland Margate und dem Railscamp gibt es in der Flickr-Gruppe RailscampUK aber auch im einzelnen hier, hier,hier, hier, und hier. Es war auf jeden Fall wieder eine sehr coole Zeit mit Mr. Jabba, Pat und Co. wir freuen uns auf das Railscamp nächstes Jahr. Nicht zu vergessen aber ist das Railscamp Münster am 28./29. November bei Zweitag! Alle weiteren Informationen findet ihr auf der Railscamp Seite.
