It took me a few minutes poking around on the RubyDocs to figure out the actual syntax for pulling this off. Figured I&#39;d toss it here to save some future person a few clicks.

From inside your test, simply call the `skip()` method, like so:

    skip(&quot;reason for skipping the test&quot;)

The method is `MiniTest::Assertions#skip` - http://docs.seattlerb.org/minitest/Minitest/Assertions.html#method-i-skip

I figured this out. With minitest you don&#39;t mark tests as pending. But you can skip them:

http://docs.seattlerb.org/minitest/Minitest/Assertions.html#method-i-skip

Also, when using MiniTest::Spec, if you don&#39;t pass a block to it(), the test is marked as skipped.

I have an absolute local path pointing to a dir: `&quot;file:\\C:\\Users\\john\\documents\\visual studio 2010\\Projects\\proj&quot;`

But when I try to throw it into `DirectoryInfo`&#39;s ctor I get the &quot;URI formats are not supported&quot; exception.

I googled and looked on SO, but I only see solutions with remote paths, not local ones. I&#39;d expect a conversion method of some sort...

Exception: &quot;URI formats are not supported&quot;

There is an error in my header file:

    field &quot;ui&quot; has incomplete type.

I have tried making `ui` a pointer, but that doesn&#39;t work. I don&#39;t think I need to do that because I have already defined my `MainWindowClass` in the namespace `Ui`. This is my `mainwindow.h`:

    #ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
    #define MAINWINDOW_H

    #include &lt;QtGui/QMainWindow&gt;
    #include &quot;ui_mainwindow.h&quot;

    namespace Ui {
        class MainWindowClass;
    }

    class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
    {
        Q_OBJECT

        public:
            MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0, Qt::WFlags flags=0);
            ~MainWindow();

        public slots:
            void slideValue(int);
        private:
            Ui::MainWindowClass ui; //error line
    };

    #endif // MAINWINDOW_H


&quot;Field has incomplete type&quot; error

And if this is possible, what is the syntax for this?

I&#39;m used to using delayed_jobs method of going into the console to see whats in the queue, and the ease of clearing the queue when needed.  Are there similar commands in Sidekiq for this?  Thanks!

I&#39;m creating an events website and I&#39;m trying to sort the rendered rsvps by the start time of the event. There are a lot of RSVPS so I&#39;m grouping them with distinct, but I&#39;ve been having a lot of difficulty over the last few days on sorting the results without this error popping up on PG. I&#39;ve looked at some of the previous questions on the topic and am still pretty lost. How can I get this to work? Thank you so much!

    @rsvps = Rsvp.where(:voter_id =&gt; current_user.following.collect {|f| f[&quot;id&quot;]}, :status =&gt; &#39;going&#39;).where(&quot;start_time &gt; ? AND start_time &lt; ?&quot;, Time.now, Time.now + 1.month).order(&quot;count_all desc&quot;).count(:group =&gt; :event_id).collect { |f| f[0] }

    &lt;%= render :partial =&gt; &#39;rsvps/rsvp&#39;, :collection =&gt; Rsvp.where(:event_id =&gt; @rsvps).select(&quot;DISTINCT(event_id)&quot;).order(&#39;start_time asc&#39;) %&gt;

I&#39;m following a rails prelaunch signup tutorial.  Bootstrap was working fine deployed on heroku, but then I modified the bootstrap_and_override file to include a logo.  When launching a rails server locally and viewing, the style is as I intended with bootstrap and the new header logo appearing.

Like I did before, I ran rake assets:precompile and pushed to git - followed this tutorial http://railsapps.github.com/rails-heroku-tutorial.html which worked before showing the css while on heroku.  The html is showing but it looks like css and bootstrap are missing.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I&#39;ve been looking around recently into Rails and notice that there are a lot of references to `current_user`. Does this only come from Devise? and do I have to manually define it myself even if I use Devise? Are there prerequisites to using `current_user` (like the existence of sessions, users, etc)?

Rails: where does the infamous &quot;current_user&quot; come from?

I&#39;m using JPEGCAM to allow users to take a profile pic with their web cam. This uploads a temporary file as so:


    def ajax_photo_upload    
      File.open(upload_path, &#39;w:ASCII-8BIT&#39;) do |f|
        f.write request.raw_post
      end
      # @user.photo = File.open(upload_path)
      @user.assign_attributes(
        :photo =&gt; File.open(upload_path),
        :orig_filename =&gt; &quot;#{current_user.full_name}.jpg&quot;
      )
      if @user.save
      respond_to do |format|
      .....
    private
    
      def upload_path # is used in upload and create
        file_name = session[:session_id].to_s + &#39;.jpg&#39;
        File.join(::Rails.root.to_s, &#39;public&#39;, &#39;temp&#39;, file_name)
      end

What&#39;s the best way to go about deleting this temporary file safely? Thanks

I have a string array and one string. I&#39;d like to test this string against the array values and apply a condition the result - if the array contains the string do &quot;A&quot;, else do &quot;B&quot;.

How can I do that?

I&#39;m not sure why PhantomJS is necessary and I&#39;m hoping someone can help.

Why would a developer ever need PhantomJS as opposed to just using some testing framework?

Using Selenium WebDriver with Java.
I am trying to automate a functionality where I have to open a new tab do some operations there and come back to previous tab (Parent).
I used switch handle but it&#39;s not working.
And one strange thing the two tabs are having same window handle due to which I am not able to switch between tabs.

However when I am trying with different Firefox windows it works, but for tab it&#39;s not working.

How can I switch tabs?
Or, how can I switch tabs without using window handle as window handle is same of both tabs in my case?

(I have observed that when you open different tabs in same window, window handle remains same)

I am implementing a lot of Selenium tests using Java - sometimes, my tests fail due to a [`StaleElementReferenceException`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/WebDriver/Errors/StaleElementReference). 

Could you suggest some approaches to making the tests more stable?

I&#39;m trying to write tests for a class that has methods like:

    import datetime
    import pytz
    
    class MyClass:
        def get_now(self, timezone):
            return datetime.datetime.now(timezone)
    
        def do_many_things(self, tz_string=&#39;Europe/London&#39;):
            tz = pytz.timezone(tz_string)
            localtime_now = self.get_now(tz)
            ...
            return things

I want to test it, and to do so I need to make sure that the `datetime.datetime.now()` call returns something predictable.

I&#39;ve been reading lots of examples of using [Mock](http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/mock/) in tests, but haven&#39;t found anything quite like what I need, and I can&#39;t work out how to use it in my tests.

I separated the `get_now()` method out in case it&#39;s easier to mock that, instead of `datetime.datetime.now()`, but I&#39;m still stumped. Any thoughts on how to write UnitTests for this using Mock? (This is all in Django, fwiw; I&#39;m not sure if this makes a difference in this case.)

After using RSpec for several projects, I&#39;m giving minitest/unit a go. I&#39;m liking it so far, but I miss using describe/context blocks to group my tests/specs in a logical way. 

I know minitest/spec provides this functionality, but I like that minitest/unit feels a bit closer to barebones Ruby. 

Are there any gems that provide describe/context support for minitest/unit? Or, should I just live with my long, unorganized test files in minitest/unit?

What is the expected syntax for checking exception messages in MiniTest&#39;s `assert_raises`/`must_raise`?

I&#39;m trying to make an assertion something like the following, where `&quot;Foo&quot;` is the expected error message:

    proc { bar.do_it }.must_raise RuntimeError.new(&quot;Foo&quot;)
