I think you're right about different implementations giving
different results.
There was always one true name, and false references that aliased it.
But since that renaming brought everything into line, there must have
been and uppercase version and a lowercase version stored somewhere,
rather than a single true name being differently interpreted by
various implementations.
The single true name was the actual filesystem name (lower case), which
you repaired. The upper-case version was stored in the password file as
your home directory, which gets propagated into ENV['HOME'] when you
log in.

Chris,
I don't think this is a Ruby thing, but comes from the different ways
Ruby gets the information. getpwuid gets your password entry from
the password database. Dir[/] reads the content of the root
directory.
The env, well, you know.
I'm not sure what the Mac implementation of Dir.pwd does, but it
could
not be any of the above. One BSD implementation I knew had a very
clunky method: it would progressively read the entries in .., ../..,
../../..,
etc, and match the inode numbers with ., .., ../.., etc. I suspect
that
Apple
has replaced that, as most unices have, with a kernel implementation,
but I can't see it documented in /usr/share/man/man2.
https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/trunk/dir.c says it's implemented
using
my_getcwd, which is probably just a wrapper for getcwd (man 3 getcwd)
from the Apple standard library. Try a little C program and tell us
what it
says:
#include unistd.h
void main()
{
char buf[1024];
getcwd(buf, sizeof(buf));
puts(buf);
exit(0);
}

Hi All,
Today I was surprised to find that the U in Users is uppercase
(which I consider correct) in:
Etc.getpwuid.dir = /Users/chrisberkhout
Dir.entries(/) = [..., Users, ...]
ENV['PWD'] = /Users/chrisberkhout
But lowercase in:
Dir.pwd = /users/chrisberkhout
File.expand_path('.') = /users/chrisberkhout
Also,
- Manually changing into the uppercase directory doesn't help.
- Deeper directories with uppercase letters seem fine.
- Other root-level directories with uppercase letters seem fine.
Anyone else run into this issue?
Cheers,
Chris

[rails-oceania] iPhone browser simulators
I was wondering what browser simulators people are using for targeting web applications at the iphone (3 4) as well as Android. I have been trying out iphoney to cover at least iphones but it seems kind of buggy and only simulates an iphone 3. Are there better options out there?

Re: [rails-oceania] iPhone browser simulators
The emulator that comes with XCode is good, though it performs a lot faster than a real device would, so mind that. Just fire up XCode, create a new iPhone OS project, Build - Build and Run, hit the home button, open Safari, and voila. There's gotta be an easier way to just open the emulator, but I'll leave that to whoever knows. Second, Safari latest can emulate the iPhone's user agent. It's handy if you need a decent inspector/debugger.

[rails-oceania] [JOB] Agile Automated Test Developer (Web) - Selenium with Java or Ruby API (12 months)
(please respond directly to me, not the group) Company : News Digital Media On-site at: Liverpool Street, Sydney Rate: Between 400 and 700, depending on how much (good) experience you bring Duration: 6 months contract, expect to extend to 12 months Seniority: Will take Junior or Senior, prefer senior Description: The successful candidate will be working as an integral part of an agile software development team. Unlike traditional roles, the candidate will be involved from planning through to deployment. He/she will attend requirements sessions, user experience design workshops and will build tests at the same time as each feature is built (before development is complete). The test suite will be built using Selenium at some level (either the original or the emerging webdriver version). It is likely but not guaranteed that a scripting and/or BDD layer will also be employed. Depending on early trials, we may or may not use the Ruby API. In-house skills are Java, this will play a part in our ultimate decision but we are keeping an open mind. The successful candidate will be comfortable developing value-add planning/reporting/tracking functionality around Selenium as required and integrating into productivity tools and/or IDE. Must have: ⁃ Web software development background ⁃ Experience in developing functional web tests Strongly desirable ⁃ Significant experience with developing tests using the Selenium API (Java, Ruby..) ⁃ Experience on (failed or successful) agile projects ⁃ Exposure to behaviour-driven and/or test-driven development exposure ⁃ Cucumber, Capybara or similar tools The candidate will be asked to discuss: ⁃ The challenges in developing and maintaining functional test suites for web apps - Strategies/techniques for building resilient tests (that don't break when a div moves or changes sequence!) ⁃ The difference between various types of automated tests: unit, integration, functional and acceptance ⁃ The shortcomings of Selenium (or similar tools) and how the candidate might overcome these -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Ruby or Rails Oceania group.
