How to test posts in Rails / Capybara / Cucumber or Rspec -

-

i'm using rspec, cucumber , capybara , i'm looking way test malicious user can't hack form post url he/she doesn't have permission to. have permissions set in cancan such "should" work, however, way can test hacking form myself.

how can automate sort of testing? webrat in unit test rspec 

put :update, :user_id => @user.id, :id => @user_achievement.id response.should contain("error, don't have permission access that!")

in capybara, however, visit get's seems. can't find way this, i've googled everwhere.

any appreciated, thanks

i think can rack-test https://github.com/brynary/rack-test

in gemfile:

gem 'rack-test'

in env.rb file

module capybaraapp   def app; capybara.app; end end world(capybaraapp) world(rack::test::methods)

step defintions somewhere:

when /^i send post request "([^"]*)"$/ |path|   post path end

most of learned came here: http://www.anthonyeden.com/2010/11/testing-rest-apis-with-cucumber-and-rack-test

update: think can skip changes env.rb file newer versions of rails and/or cucumber (not sure which, don't part on newer projects , works fine)

c# - Is it possible to remove an existing registration from Autofac container builder? -

something along lines: builder.registertype<mytype>().as<itype>(); builder.registertype<mytype2>().as<itype>(); builder.deregistertype<mytype>().as<itype>() var container = builder.build(); var types = container.resolve<ienumerable<itype>>(); assert.istrue(types.count == 1); assert.istrue(types[0].gettype == typeof(mytype2)); scenario: go through bunch of assemblies , go register types want make sure have 1 implementation of given type. need before create container. track on own nice if autofac me bit. this cannot done directly using containerbuilder , unless start on new one. mind you, having first built container should able construct new container filtering away unwanted types , reusing registrations first container. this: ... var container = builder.build(); builder = new containerbuilder(); var components = container.componentregistry.registrations .where(cr => cr.activator.limittype != typ...

php - Mysql PK and FK char(36) vs int(10) -

-
i have read mysql can handle indexes , searches better if tables keys integers rather char(36) uuid's. is worth converting int(10)? note: use 1 server , have have plans use multiple databases concurrently therefore removing 1 of big reasons using uuid. our tables innodb if makes difference. thanks in advance. usually rdbms can handle integer keys pk more efficient, other datatypes. reason how build index column, yes: long dont require string (or other typed) keys, should use integers. however: char(36) , int(10) far away being equal, because int(10) much smaller, char(36). dont know, if require many different keys, should keep in mind. update, complete last paragraph: int(10) 32-bit, char(36) 36 - ^byte^ (= 288-bit). not mean, int consumes less space, means, char(36) has 4 times more different keys.
