Instructions for setting up the prepackaged Rails test environment

rails_test_box_prepackaged

The following will create a dir which contains the rails repo. You can start edit this later on. It will also create a Gemfile and a Vagrantfile. It will run bundle and it will download and activate the virtualbox that contains everything you need to start testing.

      mkdir rails_test_box
      cd rails_test_box
      git clone git://github.com/rails/rails.git

      echo 'source :rubygems
      group :virtualbox do
        gem "vagrant", "0.3.0"
        gem "virtualbox", "0.6.0"
      end' > Gemfile

      bundle install

      bundle exec vagrant add http://files.cookiestack.com/rails_test_env.box
    
      echo 'Vagrant::Config.run do |config|
        config.vm.share_folder("rails", "rails", "rails")
        config.vm.box = "rails_test_box"
      end' > Vagrantfile
    
      bundle exec vagrant up
      bundle exec vagrant ssh

Now you are in the Virtualbox. All you need to do now is go into the rails directory, run bundle install and your ready to test! If you want to test it for 1.9.1, you have to change to it using rvm and do a bundle install again. To summarize:

      cd rails
      bundle install
      rake # to do all tests
      
      
      
      
      rvm 1.9.1-p376 # to switch to 1.9.1 and use the following commands
