torquebox_faker ===
The sole porpouse of this gem is to fake torquebox so you can run your torquebox apps using MRI in your dev/test environment.
I did it because unfortunetly, as today, JRuby is too slow for loading Rails 2.3 apps. It takes 20-25 seconds to load (aka. require config/environment) a Rails app in my machine (MBP i5)… 20-25 seconds added to my test suits :(
With this gem, I can use jruby for my production environment (and use all the JBoss’s power) and MRI for dev/test environment (making my test suite run 20-25 seconds faster).
I recommend using bundler in this manner:
recommended Gemfile ==
group :development, :test do
gem "torquebox_faker", :platform => :ruby
end
group :production do
gem 'torquebox', :platform => :jruby
end
Support features ==
As today, this gem only supports the Task feature from torquebox. It also loads all your tasks at /app/tasks folder.
