In a previous blog post, I introduced Minitest from the perspective of RSpec. Some Minitest users prefer to avoid the specification style of Minitest::Spec. Instead they use Minitest::Test. It’s closer to the metal and uses a more vanilla Ruby syntax. Here is an example spec file using Minitest::Spec: require ‘spec_helper’ describe MyClass do describe ‘#some_method’ […]

One of my favorite aspects of working with Ruby is how natural it is to write tests for. The Ruby community does an excellent job of encouraging authors to produce well tested code.

In two weeks, on November 19, 2013, we will be removing the upper bound from the nokogiri gem dependency in version 1 of the AWS SDK for Ruby. We’ve been discussing this change with users for a while on GitHub. Why Is There Currently an Upper Bound? Nokogiri removed support for Ruby 1.8 with the […]

I blogged recently about how the code is now available for AWS SDK Core. This new repository is the basis for what will become version 2 of the AWS SDK for Ruby. We have not cut a public gem for AWS SDK Core yet. Instead, we have published the work-in-progress code to GitHub for the […]

We’ve been working hard on version 2 of the AWS SDK for Ruby. Loren blogged about some of our upcoming plans for version 2. I’m excited to pull back the curtains and show off the work we’ve done on version 2 of the Ruby SDK. AWS SDK Core The AWS SDK Core library will provide […]

Today we are announcing a new RubyGem that enables your Ruby on Rails or Rack-based applications to store session data inside of Amazon DynamoDB. The gem acts as a drop-in replacement for session stores inside of Rails and can also run as a Rack middleware for non-Rails apps. You can read more about how to […]
