Learnings for Week 17 2010

Learnings for the past week. * vim (I made the switch this week!) ** ctrl+v to enter visual mode (useful for block comments) ** :sp to split a window ** :vsp for vertical split ** :A for alternate file (rails plugin) ** snipmate for awesome snippets ("plugin":http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2540, "snippets":http://github.com/scrooloose/snipmate-snippets) ** * searches for current word ** :%s/search/replace/modifiers *** if you leave search blank it uses your previous search *** g modifier for global search, c to confirm each replacement (very useful!) * autotest doesn't run in ruby 1.9.1 ** It fails for me saying "set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug" and that's about all * ruby -e "code to run" * assert_select('input', 0) doesn't work, need to use (assert_select 'input', :count=>0) ** This is confusing since assert_select('input', 5) works just fine That's it for this week. If I find some time I'll post my vim config and talk about that a bit and maybe discuss what I did about autotest not working.
