How do I profile my Ruby test suite in aggregate?
The usual sob story: my tests are running slowly. My first thought was to profile the whole test suite to look for obvious wins (stubbing out network access or caches), so I added a ruby-prof task: RubyProf::ProfileTask.new(:units) do |t| t.test_files = FileList[RAILS_ROOT + '/test/unit/**/*_test.rb'] t.output_dir = Dir.tmpdir t....

Getting a list of all packages from shipping carriers.
I've been looking at the APIs for UPS, FedEx, USPS, etc, and I can't seem to find any method of pulling all tracking info for a given user. I only see methods that pull info via a tracking number.

Ruby/Mechanize Multipart Form With File Upload to a Mediawiki
I've been trying to write a ruby script using mechanize to batch upload a large number of images to a MediaWiki. The script runs without any errors but I suspect there is something wrong with the way I'm handling multipart forms with mechanize.

How do I parse this key-value pair?
This is the output from doing puts get_account_entry.inspect [[{:value=>"8b08e26a-6d35-7140-9e41-4c5b4612c146", :name=>"id"}, {:value=>"Typhoon Corporation", :name=>"name"}]] How do I extract out the value of :name => "id" for example?

DRY the SUT up - RSpec and Mocking question
n the .net world, my specs would follow the Arrange, Act, Assert pattern. I'm having trouble replicating that in rspec, because there doesn't appear to be an ability to selectively verify your mocks after the SUT has taken it's action. That, coupled with the fact that EVERY expectation is evaluated at the end of each 'It' block, is cau...

=== vs. == in Ruby
In Ruby, what is the difference between == and ===? The RDoc says Case Equality—For class Object, effectively the same as calling #==, but typically overridden by descendents to provide meaningful semantics in case statements. Is #== the same as ==? And could you provide an example of when/how this is used in case statemen...
