Easily assert that records are correctly ordered in functional tests

def assert_ascending(collection)
  previous_value = yield collection.first
  assert(collection[1..-1].all? do |current|
    returning(previous_value <= 
        (current_value = yield current)) do
      previous_value = current_value
    end
  end)
end

def assert_descending(collection, &block)
  assert_ascending collection.reverse, &block
end

# Test that @people is ordered by company name
assert_ascending assigns(:people) do |person|
  person.company.name.downcase
end

16:33 <@Ulysses> my sub just exploded bbq sauce all over my shirt
16:33 <@Ulysses> ... that girl fails it as a bbq sauce applicator
16:34 <@Ulysses> she did not shake it at all and it is way too fluid
16:36 <@htonl> go back and throw it in her face

Tip Rake task dry-run

You can see what a Rake task would do without having it actually do it by passing in the -n option.

$ rake test_functional -n
** Invoke test_functional (first_time)
** Invoke test_environment (first_time)
** Execute (dry run) test_environment
** Invoke create_db (first_time)
** Invoke destroy_db (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute (dry run) environment
** Execute (dry run) destroy_db
** Execute (dry run) create_db
** Execute (dry run) test_functional
