eileencodes 26821d9b57 Add test parallelization to Rails
Provides both a forked process and threaded parallelization options. To
use add `parallelize` to your test suite.

Takes a `workers` argument that controls how many times the process
is forked. For each process a new database will be created suffixed
with the worker number; test-database-0 and test-database-1
respectively.

If `ENV["PARALLEL_WORKERS"]` is set the workers argument will be ignored
and the environment variable will be used instead. This is useful for CI
environments, or other environments where you may need more workers than
you do for local testing.

If the number of workers is set to `1` or fewer, the tests will not be
parallelized.

The default parallelization method is to fork processes. If you'd like to
use threads instead you can pass `with: :threads` to the `parallelize`
method. Note the threaded parallelization does not create multiple
database and will not work with system tests at this time.

parallelize(workers: 2, with: :threads)

The threaded parallelization uses Minitest's parallel exector directly.
The processes paralleliztion uses a Ruby Drb server.

For parallelization via threads a setup hook and cleanup hook are
provided.

```
class ActiveSupport::TestCase
  parallelize_setup do |worker|
    # setup databases
  end

  parallelize_teardown do |worker|
    # cleanup database
  end

  parallelize(workers: 2)
end
```

README.md

Welcome to Rails

Rails is a web-application framework that includes everything needed to create database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern.

Understanding the MVC pattern is key to understanding Rails. MVC divides your application into three layers, each with a specific responsibility.

The Model layer represents your domain model (such as Account, Product, Person, Post, etc.) and encapsulates the business logic that is specific to your application. In Rails, database-backed model classes are derived from ActiveRecord::Base. Active Record allows you to present the data from database rows as objects and embellish these data objects with business logic methods. You can read more about Active Record in its README. Although most Rails models are backed by a database, models can also be ordinary Ruby classes, or Ruby classes that implement a set of interfaces as provided by the Active Model module. You can read more about Active Model in its README.

The Controller layer is responsible for handling incoming HTTP requests and providing a suitable response. Usually this means returning HTML, but Rails controllers can also generate XML, JSON, PDFs, mobile-specific views, and more. Controllers load and manipulate models, and render view templates in order to generate the appropriate HTTP response. In Rails, incoming requests are routed by Action Dispatch to an appropriate controller, and controller classes are derived from ActionController::Base. Action Dispatch and Action Controller are bundled together in Action Pack. You can read more about Action Pack in its README.

The View layer is composed of "templates" that are responsible for providing appropriate representations of your application's resources. Templates can come in a variety of formats, but most view templates are HTML with embedded Ruby code (ERB files). Views are typically rendered to generate a controller response, or to generate the body of an email. In Rails, View generation is handled by Action View. You can read more about Action View in its README.

Active Record, Active Model, Action Pack, and Action View can each be used independently outside Rails. In addition to that, Rails also comes with Action Mailer (README), a library to generate and send emails; Active Job (README), a framework for declaring jobs and making them run on a variety of queueing backends; Action Cable (README), a framework to integrate WebSockets with a Rails application; Active Storage (README), a library to attach cloud and local files to Rails applications; and Active Support (README), a collection of utility classes and standard library extensions that are useful for Rails, and may also be used independently outside Rails.

Getting Started

  1. Install Rails at the command prompt if you haven't yet:

     $ gem install rails
    
  2. At the command prompt, create a new Rails application:

     $ rails new myapp
    

    where "myapp" is the application name.

  3. Change directory to myapp and start the web server:

     $ cd myapp
     $ rails server
    

    Run with --help or -h for options.

  4. Using a browser, go to http://localhost:3000 and you'll see: "Yay! Youre on Rails!"

  5. Follow the guidelines to start developing your application. You may find the following resources handy:
