19:15: Writing Test Driven DSLs in CoffeeScript

We'll talk about a few tips and tricks for writing domain specific languages in CoffeeScript such as Chaining, the mystical defineGetter, and manipulating the context. In the hands on part we'll build a small View component similar to the one in the BackboneJS library and use Mocha to test it.

I'm a ruby beginner. I am trying to set up a coding environment using Eclipse as an IDE under Linux Mint.
I'm having difficulties running unit tests under eclipse. I keep getting an error on file include, as if the test file cannot be found.
Can anyone help ?

  1. Don't use eclipse, it's very bad. Use rubymine if you like IDEs, or VIM if you are hardcore.
  2. You can run unit tests from terminal (rspec spec/)

  Adam, thanks for your reply. Can you please elaborate a little bit about why you think eclipse is bad? The reason I'm asking is that everywhere I look I only see people recommending it. And it is free... Thanks a lot.

  If you ask 5 different people on work environment you'll get 5 different answers :)
  I personally worked with eclipse & aptana plugin for a while and found some problems and instability.
  I find RubyMine to be much more convenient - it is more ruby dedicated, and has much better code analysis in terms of jump to definition, code completion, error reporting and such
