Ahoi Gary
Thanks for the info but the gem has already been created and the testing
I want to do is not obvious (to my mind anyway) so online "Getting
started" style stuff that I have found is not that useful..
This is why I was asking if an expert can offer some time to answer
specific questions I have and help my get my head around it.
On a site-note by hacking around I seem to have got the LogSubscriber
tests working, still no idea on how to do the rack logger tests though.
Cheers
Jeff

Not an expert, but since I have been kind of slack on testing
recently, I'll try to get some karma by trying to help. First, you may
want to ask on this list instead/too:

(Stackoverflow is also a good place to get Rails stuff answered for
more specific questions.)
This was the thing for Rails 3.0:
https://github.com/josevalim/enginex
After that it became:
rails plugin new
In: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/plugins.html
1.2 Or generate a gemified plugin.
Writing your Rails plugin as a gem, rather than as a vendored
plugin, lets you share your plugin across different rails
applications using RubyGems and Bundler.
Rails 3.1 ships with a /*rails plugin new*/ command which creates
a skeleton for developing any kind of Rails extension with the
ability to run integration tests using a dummy Rails application.
See usage and options by asking for help:
$ rails plugin --help
This looks like it might help:

Rails initialization guide since you mentioned wanting to know the
boot process, but sounds like you don't need it:

Hello all.
#1 I am working on a rails3 gem called Yarder
(https://github.com/rurounijones/yarder
<https://github.com/rurounijones/yarder>). The goal of this gem is to
replace the rails logging system with one that is JSON based
rather than
string based.
#2 To this end I also recently asked this list about making the
LogSubscribers subscriptions to ActiveRecord::Notifications
configurable
and am looking at submitting a patch request.
However for both of these I have rather run into a brick wall.
#1 Yarder works (mostly, I have not finished or refactored and
there are
probably bugs) but it has no tests. The reasons for this is that I
cannot get my head around how to test it (and how to set up the
tests in
the first place ) and there aren't examples of this kind of stuff
online
that I can see (rails own LogSubscriber tests use a lot of support
files
specific to the rails gems which makes using them as a base less than
obvious)
#2 For this I am just not exactly sure how to start (Both dev and
test)
I have spent the last week or so looking through the rails
code-base and
testing setup to try and grok how to do the above but it is beyond
me at
the moment.
I don't suppose there is a altruistic rails expert out there who is
willing to spare some time (email, skype, whatever suits you best) to
help me get my head around the rails internals (mainly the boot
process
and what to change for #2 plus setting up the tests) and how to
test #1.

Jeff Jones
