Faster Tests!

Posted by Dave Minor Mon, 31 Oct 2005 18:19:00 GMT

Last week I went through a process to get fink off my powerbook and in the process, installed Rails 0.14.2 and MySQL 4.1.15. So today, to take advantage of the better test performance, I upgraded the mysql gem to 2.7 to get the latest native bindings.

$ gem update mysql -- --with-mysql-config

Note: This is for OS X 10.3.9 with mysql and ruby from DarwinPorts.

The great news is that it worked! My rake has gone from 3 min. 40-ish seconds to 2 minutes 40-ish seconds. Gotta love that!

    Show-off! You lost me before you even started this one. My rake usually takes a couple of hours two or three weekends each Autumn.
