I'm writing a sinatra app and testing it with rspec and rack/test (as described on sinatrarb.com). It's been great so far, until I moved some rather procedural code from my domain objects to sinatra helpers. Since then, I've been trying to figure out how to test these in isolation ? ...

Django unit testing: South-migrated DB works in MySQL, throws duplicate PK error in PostGreSQL. Am I missing something or is this a bug?

Is there a way to undo Mocha stubbing of any_instance in Test::Unit

Much like this question, I too am using Ryan Bates's nifty_scaffold. It has the desirable aspect of using Mocha's any_instance method to force an "invalid" state in model objects buried behind the controller. Unlike the question I linked to, I'm not using RSpec, but Test::Unit. That means that the two RSpec-centric solutions there won't...

We have a considerable code base with relatively high test coverage for pages/forms, all via vanilla POST/GET. Now, we are find ourselves moving more into the 'ajaxy' space, and it's not quite possible to test with GET/POST complete scenarios like user registration, or an item creation, as they involve lots of JavaScript/Ajax calls.
