- gabrielrotbart 13y agoI wrote https://github.com/gabrielrotbart/gatling https://github.com/gabrielrotbart/gatling ages ago. It integrates visual testing into normal Rspec specs. Focusing on specific elements rather than full pages, makes it more stable. Maybe it's time to revive it.
- meester 13y agoI'm sorry but… are you an idiot? this is the coolest thing ever. Like, my mind is blown right now. I futzed with something that did the whole page but wasn't really impressed by it. but this is 100x better. Like, you changed my life this morning.
- gabrielrotbart 13y agoThanks (I thought that line was going to end differently considering how it started). I didn't put it out there because, although it's functioning perfectly, I'm not happy with the internals and would like to find time to refactor it before sending it out to the world.
- dan1234 13y agoMy advice would be to release it anyway, warts and all. You'll never be truly happy with the internals and, if you're like me, you'll be forever "1 final refactor, 1 extra tweak" away from perfection.
- gabrielrotbart 13y agoYou're right. Although it is 'released' in a way, it has quite a few downloads on Rubygems even though I've never put it out there (HN posts etc).
