rockerest’s Twitter Archive—№ 13,556

At 9:37:06 this morning, I started a run of a single RSpec file containing a total of 41 tests. It completed at 11:42:52, a total duration of 2:05:46. I was running the suite to see the output of a simple puts of a variable. It never printed anything to the console.

This has been my universal experience with anything Ruby or Rails related: It's insanely slow, it never works the way I expect a piece of software to work, and it's a nightmare to work with.

I'm inclined to believe this is almost entirely the fault of Rails because I find it hard to believe any general programming language could be this bad. That said... does anyone use Ruby without Rails? It's like tying your cart to a cat. It wasn't great to begin with but now...

I just ran the same file with a single describe block focused (it contains 2 tests) and it took a total of 17 minutes. What hell is this world? Have I died and been sent to testing hell?

This would definitely be the hell I get sent to, by the way. If hell exists, it's for sure me being forced to do something I find useless, but that thing is interminable.
