Enjoy.
Your Rails App should implement the "client facing" pages. Read posts from the Crowdblog::Post model.
The gem includes a very basic Devise implementation. We use it in combination with this gem to authenticate via our Google Apps accounts.
Take a look at this code as an implementation example.
If you are using it as a 'vanilla' installation, that is, without a lot of customizations, you can use some specs that are included with the gem to make sure your blog behaves properly.
Add this on your spec_helper, right after you require rspec/rails:
require 'crowdblog/rspec'
require 'database_cleaner'
Your are going to need DatabaseCleaner to use truncation strategies for your data. Add these lines to spec_helper.rb:
Rspec.configure do |config|
config.use_transactional_fixtures = false
config.before(:suite) do
DatabaseCleaner.strategy = :truncation
DatabaseCleaner.clean_with(:truncation)
end
config.before(:each) do
DatabaseCleaner.start
end
config.after(:each) do
DatabaseCleaner.clean
end
end
Now, create a crowdblog spec:
#
# spec/integration/crowdblog_spec.rb
#
require 'spec_helper'
describe "Crowdblog" do
it_behaves_like "a crowdblog"
end
And run your specs. It should test Crowdblog properly.
