unit testing - Rails rake: test are slow -
I am developing ROR app for almost a month in my Windows laptop, although every time I take it forever, I run the test. To finish (10+ minutes).
On MacBook Pro with the same hardware, it runs in a fraction of the time (2 minutes). Can you give me some suggestions to speed up the whole thing? Or should I consider changing my roR environment to a Linux / Mac box?
I develop my Ruby in Ubuntu VM, just because everything is easy to get together under Linux (I imagine that applies to OSX). RVM makes my life so easy.
If your hardware supports it and you do not mind working in VM, can I suggest that you try it? VM has its advantages of development (i.e., to take a daily snapshot so that you can roll back the changes of the environment) and loss (you lose a little bit of speed but not much of these days) but I think it Is worth
