Hi Justin In the past I have used either ActiveResource (if the restful interface conforms to the standards that ActiveResource expects) or the rest-client gem.
One problem I have run into though is the problem of creating data to test against. Sometimes this isn't possible, especially in endpoints you dont control, or read-only endpoints. In these cases I used WebMock or FakeWeb to mock the needed responses from the end-point. This allows you to test the code on your side without testing the end-point itself. I hope this helps Chris On 31 October 2011 10:18, Justin Urbanski <[email protected]> wrote: > All, > > We have a requirement to build a UI without a DB.
