Development

Install gems with bundle exec appraisal install.

Testing is a little awkward because the test suite:

1. Supports multiple versions of rails
2. Contains a "dummy" rails app with three databases (test, foo, and bar)
3. Supports three different RDBMS': sqlite, mysql, and postgres

Test sqlite, AR 4.2

# Create the appropriate database config. file
rm spec/dummy_app/config/database.yml
DB=sqlite bundle exec rake prepare

# If this is the first test run ever, create databases.
# We can't use `appraisal` inside the dummy app, so we must set `BUNDLE_GEMFILE`.
# See spec/dummy_app/config/boot.rb for a complete explanation.
cd spec/dummy_app
export BUNDLE_GEMFILE=../../gemfiles/ar_4.2.gemfile
RAILS_ENV=test bundle exec rake db:setup
RAILS_ENV=foo bundle exec rake db:setup
RAILS_ENV=bar bundle exec rake db:setup
unset BUNDLE_GEMFILE
cd ../..

# Run tests
DB=sqlite bundle exec appraisal ar-4.2 rake

# Run a single test
DB=sqlite bundle exec appraisal ar-4.2 rspec spec/paper_trail/serializers/json_spec.rb

Test sqlite, AR 5

# Create the appropriate database config. file
rm spec/dummy_app/config/database.yml
DB=sqlite bundle exec rake prepare

# If this is the first test run ever, create databases.
# We can't use `appraisal` inside the dummy app, so we must set `BUNDLE_GEMFILE`.
# See spec/dummy_app/config/boot.rb for a complete explanation.
cd spec/dummy_app
export BUNDLE_GEMFILE=../../gemfiles/ar_5.0.gemfile
RAILS_ENV=test bundle exec rake db:environment:set db:setup
RAILS_ENV=foo bundle exec rake db:environment:set db:setup
RAILS_ENV=bar bundle exec rake db:environment:set db:setup
unset BUNDLE_GEMFILE
cd ../..

# Run tests
DB=sqlite bundle exec appraisal ar-5.0 rake

Test mysql, AR 5

# Create the appropriate database config. file
rm spec/dummy_app/config/database.yml
DB=mysql bundle exec rake prepare

# If this is the first test run ever, create databases.
# We can't use `appraisal` inside the dummy app, so we must set `BUNDLE_GEMFILE`.
# See spec/dummy_app/config/boot.rb for a complete explanation.
cd spec/dummy_app
export BUNDLE_GEMFILE=../../gemfiles/ar_5.0.gemfile
RAILS_ENV=test bundle exec rake db:environment:set db:setup
RAILS_ENV=foo bundle exec rake db:environment:set db:setup
RAILS_ENV=bar bundle exec rake db:environment:set db:setup
unset BUNDLE_GEMFILE
cd ../..

# Run tests
DB=mysql bundle exec appraisal ar-5.0 rake

Test postgres, AR 5

# Create the appropriate database config. file
rm spec/dummy_app/config/database.yml
DB=postgres bundle exec rake prepare

# If this is the first test run ever, create databases.
# Unlike mysql, use create/migrate instead of setup.
# We can't use `appraisal` inside the dummy app, so we must set `BUNDLE_GEMFILE`.
# See spec/dummy_app/config/boot.rb for a complete explanation.
cd spec/dummy_app
export BUNDLE_GEMFILE=../../gemfiles/ar_5.0.gemfile
DB=postgres RAILS_ENV=test bundle exec rake db:environment:set db:drop db:create db:migrate
DB=postgres RAILS_ENV=foo bundle exec rake db:environment:set db:drop db:create db:migrate
DB=postgres RAILS_ENV=bar bundle exec rake db:environment:set db:drop db:create db:migrate
unset BUNDLE_GEMFILE
cd ../..

# Run tests
DB=postgres bundle exec rake
DB=postgres bundle exec appraisal ar-5.0 rake

Editing the migration

After editing spec/dummy_app/db/migrate/20110208155312_set_up_test_tables.rb ..

cd spec/dummy_app
export BUNDLE_GEMFILE=../../gemfiles/ar_5.1.gemfile
RAILS_ENV=test bundle exec rake db:environment:set db:drop db:create db:migrate
RAILS_ENV=foo bundle exec rake db:environment:set db:drop db:create db:migrate
RAILS_ENV=bar bundle exec rake db:environment:set db:drop db:create db:migrate
unset BUNDLE_GEMFILE
cd ../..

Don't forget to commit changes to schema.rb.
