Mikey
So, I have a site that synchronizes data with another server. It does this via after_create, after_update and after_delete triggers on some models. All of those triggers use the same method that returns a connection object which has various methods such as:
# SyncServer::connection method
module SyncServer
def self.connection
new_client.connection{|conn| yield conn }
end
end
SyncServer::connection do |conn|
conn.add_person(person_data)
# or
conn.update_person(person_data)
# or
conn.delete_person(person_id)
end
# The following is to demonstrate I could have
# multiple types of data I'm syncing
# and therefore multiple methods on the
# conn object.
SyncServer::connection do |conn|
conn.add_other_data(other_data)
conn.modify_other_data(other_data)
conn.delete_data(other_id)
end
While the RSpec tests were running, these triggers were being called which was junking up the SyncServer. This is not cool. In order to avoid this, I needed to be able to disable the synchronization. I definitely didn't want to do this in all my triggers.
Enter Mikey, he's going to replace the conn object I return:
#
# Because Mikey will eat anything
#
class Mikey
def method_missing(method, *args)
true
end
end
Now the new conn method:
module SyncServer
def self.connection
if sync?
new_client.connection{|conn| yield conn }
else
yield Mikey.new
end
end
end
The sync? method just checks if the class variable do_synchronization is true. I set this class variable to false if the RAILS_ENV == test. The result is my triggers don't break, the sync server isn't junked up and my tests pass. All good.

It seems like Mikey could grown into a fully grown acts_as_chuck_norris plugin!

That would be cool and the name alone would make it popular. :)
