CruiseControl.rb and Rails 3 with RVM

Hello. There is no article how to configure CruiseControl.rb(ccrb) for Rails 3 with RVM on internet so far. That's pity. Let's fix it.

First, install ccrb (just download and unzip from https://github.com/thoughtworks/cruisecontrol.rb/downloads).
Create new ccrb project named 'your_project'.

Then let's open ~/.cruise/projects/your_project/cruise_config.rb with your favorite editor.
Uncomment next line:

project.build_command = './build_my_app.sh'

Add build_by_app.sh to your rails application so full path should be ~/.cruise/projects/your/project/work/build_by_app.sh. 
This file should contain next lines:

#!/bin/bash
# Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*
if [[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] ; then
  # First try to load from a user install
  source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"
elif [[ -s "/usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] ; then
  # Then try to load from a root install
  source "/usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm"
else
  printf "ERROR: An RVM installation was not found.\n"

fi

bundle install
bundle exec cucumber

Start ccrb and build.

rvm's zlib issue

I had problem with rubygem in rvm's ruby because ruby wasn't compiled with zlib support. You can avoid this issue if you'll install this packages:

sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libreadline5-dev libxml2-dev libsqlite3-dev

In memory sqlite database for testing Rails 3 app with Cucumber and RSpec

Hello.
Let me introduce you my way of using in memory database inspite of existence of plenty articles regarding this on internets.

config/database.yml

test: &test
  adapter: sqlite3
  encoding: utf8
  database: ":memory:" 

In cucumber's features/support/env.rb in Before paste this:

load_schema = lambda {
    # use db agnostic schema by default
    load "#{Rails.root.to_s}/db/schema.rb" 

    # if you use seeds uncomment next line
    # load "#{Rails.root.to_s}/db/seeds.rb"
    # ActiveRecord::Migrator.up('db/migrate') # use migrations
  }
  silence_stream(STDOUT, &load_schema) 

Add lines below to spec/spec_helper.rb:

load_schema = lambda {
    load "#{Rails.root.to_s}/db/schema.rb" # use db agnostic schema by default
    # ActiveRecord::Migrator.up('db/migrate') # use migrations
  }
  silence_stream(STDOUT, &load_schema) 

XAMPP 403 Access Forbidden Problem

It's the second time when I got "403 Access Forbidden" in XAMPP under Mac OS X. First time I solved somehow.
Today I found what the problem is. I just set my User and Group parameters in /Applications/XAMPP/etc/httpd.conf.

You may think it's obvious but I've never set this things on Linux.

Issue on PyroCMS bugtrack.
