Ruby Factory Method - what is wrong? - ruby

So I copied this code from a youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9OySOWLYIg
He ran it in his video no problem, but when I run it, it gives me an error
C:/rails/11.rb:17:in create': Unknown hero (RuntimeError)
from C:/rails/11.rb:6:inblock in initialize'
from C:/rails/11.rb:6:in times'
from C:/rails/11.rb:6:ininitialize'
from C:/rails/11.rb:22:in new'
from C:/rails/11.rb:22:in'
class Party
attr_reader :members
def initialize(number, occupation)
#members = []
number.times { members << create(occupation)}
end
end
class PartyFactory < Party
def create(occupation)
if occupation == :warrior
Warrior.new
elseif occupation == :mage
Mage.new
else
raise "Unknown hero"
end
end
end
party = PartyFactory.new(2, :mage)
Another question I have is what if intead of Mage.new , I do Mage.new("fred"), to set the name for mage, where does the "fred" part end up?
Sorry, I am very new to Ruby and can not find a working example to understand how to set up factory methods.

Change elseif to elsif (without the second e).
Then make sure to initialize Mage and Warrior classes as you'll get a NameError if you don't.

Capybara.page not in scope after extending capybara-screenshot's after_failed_example method

I'm trying to override the after_failed_example method so I can inflict some custom file naming on our screenshots. I'm loading the module as an initializer.
So far, so good, but the Capybara.page.current_url is blank, making me think I need to require something additional?
require "capybara-screenshot/rspec"
module Capybara
module Screenshot
module RSpec
class << self
attr_accessor :use_description_as_filename
attr_accessor :save_html_file
end
self.use_description_as_filename = true
self.save_html_file = true
def self.after_failed_example(example)
if example.example_group.include?(Capybara::DSL) # Capybara DSL method has been included for a feature we can snapshot
Capybara.using_session(Capybara::Screenshot.final_session_name) do
puts ">>>> Capybara.page.current_url: " + Capybara.page.current_url.to_s
if Capybara::Screenshot.autosave_on_failure && failed?(example) && Capybara.page.current_url != ''
saver = Capybara::Screenshot.new_saver(Capybara, Capybara.page, Capybara::Screenshot.save_html_file?, set_saver_filename_prefix(example))
saver.save
example.metadata[:screenshot] = {}
example.metadata[:screenshot][:html] = saver.html_path if saver.html_saved?
example.metadata[:screenshot][:image] = saver.screenshot_path if saver.screenshot_saved?
end
end
end
private
def self.set_saver_filename_prefix(example)
return example.description.to_s.gsub(" ", "-") if Capybara::Screenshot.use_description_as_filename?
return Capybara::Screenshot.filename_prefix_for(:rspec, example)
end
end
end
end
end
This is successfully overriding the capybara-screenshot/rspec method, and any of the Capybara::Screenshot static information is accessible, but not Capybara session related information (afa I can tell).
For example, Capybara.page.current_url.to_s is null when overridden, but present when not.
I was missing a require (kind of silly mistake):
require 'capybara/rspec'

Ruby: Chatterbot can't load bot data

I'm picking up ruby language and get stuck at playing with the chatterbot i have developed. Similar issue has been asked here Click here , I did what they suggested to change the rescue in order to see the full message.But it doesn't seem right, I was running basic_client.rb at rubybot directory and fred.bot is also generated at that directory . Please see the error message below: Your help very be very much appreciated.

end
I'm assuming that you are trying to load the :data_file passed into Bot.new, but right now you are statically loading a bot_data file everytime. You never mentioned about bot_data in the question. So if I'm right it should be like this :
#data = YAML.load(File.read(options[:data_file]))
Instead of :
#data = YAML.load(File.read('bot_data'))

Struggling to write code and tests for my Tube System program, TDD using Rspec and Ruby

I am writing a small program for a train system.
I have a passenger, coach, train and station class (and thus, a spec test for each).
My test for my passenger class is as such:
let (:passenger) {Passenger.new}
it "should not be touched in to a station when initialized" do
expect(passenger.touchedin?).to be false
end
it "should be able to enter coach" do
coach = Coach.new
passenger.enter(coach)
expect{coach.to receive(:enter)}
end
it "should be able to alight coach" do
coach = Coach.new
passenger.alight(coach)
expect{coach.to receive(:alight)}
end
it "should be able to touch into station" do
station = Station.new
passenger.touchin(station)
expect{station.to receive(:touchin)}
end
it "should be able to touch out of station" do
station = Station.new
passenger.touchout(station)
expect{station.to receive(:touchout)}
end
end
And my passenger class is like this (at the moment :p):
class Passenger
def initialize
#touchedin = false
end
def enter(coach)
end
def touchedin?
#touchedin
end
def alight(coach)
end
def touchin(station)
end
def touchout(station)
end
end
I am unsure how to satisfy my tests, if my tests are even correct in the first place.
Any help is really appreciated!
You've not really said how you're modeling the relationship between coaches and passengers, but one way I could think of could be as follows. I'm just putting enough for the coach/passenger relationship (so nothing about touching in as this involves the station) - and I'm using minitest syntax, but I think you can get the idea of what's happening.
class Coach
def initialize
#passengers = []
end
...
end
class Passenger
def initialize
#touched_in = false
end
def alight(coach)
coach.passengers << self.uid # or self, if you want the whole passenger object available
end
...
end
coach = Coach.new
assert_empty coach.passengers
joe = Passenger.new
refute_includes coach.passengers, joe.uid # or joe
joe.alight(coach)
assert_includes coach.passengers, joe.uid # or joe

Assert_equal undefined local variable LRTHW ex52

Hi I made it to the lase exercise os Learn Ruby The Hard Way, and I come at the wall...
Here is the test code:
def test_gothon_map()
assert_equal(START.go('shoot!'), generic_death)
assert_equal(START.go('dodge!'), generic_death)
room = START.go("tell a joke")
assert_equal(room, laser_weapon_armory)
end
And here is the code of the file it should test:
class Room
attr_accessor :name, :description, :paths
def initialize(name, description)
#name = name
#description = description
#paths = {}
end
def ==(other)
self.name==other.name&&self.description==other.description&&self.paths==other.paths
end
def go(direction)
#paths[direction]
end
def add_paths(paths)
#paths.update(paths)
end
end
generic_death = Room.new("death", "You died.")
And when I try to launch the test file I get an error:
generic_death = Room.new("death", "You died.")
I tried to set the "generic_death = Room.new("death", "You died.")" in test_gothon_map method and it worked but the problem is that description of the next object is extremely long, so my questions are:
why assertion doesn't not respond to defined object?
can it be done different way then by putting whole object to testing method, since description of the next object is extremely long...
The nature of local variable is that they are, well, local. This means that they are not available outside the scope they were defined.
That's why ruby does not know what generic_death means in your test.
You can solve this in a couple of ways:
define rooms as constants in the Room class:
class Room
# ...
GENERIC_DEATH = Room.new("death", "You died.")
LASER_WEAPON_ARMORY = Room.new(...)
end
def test_gothon_map()
assert_equal(Room::START.go('shoot!'), Room::GENERIC_DEATH)
assert_equal(Room::START.go('dodge!'), Room::GENERIC_DEATH)
room = Room::START.go("tell a joke")
assert_equal(room, Room::LASER_WEAPON_ARMORY)
end
assert the room by its name, or some other identifier:
def test_gothon_map()
assert_equal(START.go('shoot!').name, "death")
assert_equal(START.go('dodge!').name, "death")
room = START.go("tell a joke")
assert_equal(room.name, "laser weapon armory")
end

How to extend DataMapper::Resource with custom method

I have following code:
module DataMapper
module Resource
##page_size = 25
attr_accessor :current_page
attr_accessor :next_page
attr_accessor :prev_page
def first_page?
#prev_page
end
def last_page?
#next_page
end
def self.paginate(page)
if(page && page.to_i > 0)
#current_page = page.to_i - 1
else
#current_page = 0
end
entites = self.all(:offset => #current_page * ##page_size, :limit => ##page_size + 1)
if #current_page > 0
#prev_page = #current_page
end
if entites.size == ##page_size + 1
entites.pop
#next_page = (#current_page || 1) + 2
end
entites
end
end
end
Then I have call of #paginate:
#photos = Photo.paginate(params[:page])
And getting following error:
application error
NoMethodError at /dashboard/photos/
undefined method `paginate' for Photo:Class
In Active record this concept works fine for me... I'am using JRuby for notice. What I'am doing wrong?
Andrew,
You can think of DataMapper::Resource as the instance (a row) and of DataMapper::Model as the class (a table). Now to alter the default capabilities at either the resource or the model level, you can either append inclusions or extensions to your model.
First you will need to wrap your #paginate method in a module. I've also added a probably useless #page method to show how to append to a resource in case you ever need to.
module Pagination
module ClassMethods
def paginate(page)
# ...
end
end
module InstanceMethods
def page
# ...
end
end
end
In your case, you want #paginate to be available on the model, so you would do:
DataMapper::Model.append_extensions(Pagination::ClassMethods)
If you find yourself in need of adding default capabilities to every resource, do:
DataMapper::Model.append_inclusions(Pagination::InstanceMethods)
Hope that helps!
