Tired of navigating to project directory in new splits?

It is easy to mitigate this problem in iTerm2 :)

Preventing body scroll for modals in iOS

IOS does not respect overflow: hidden set on body element, and allows for scrolling anyway, which sucks pretty bad when you have an open modal.

Most minimal solution is to set onTouchMove={e => e.preventDefault()} on element that covers the whole screen.

Source and a more complex solution.

Thanks Dude and Krzysztof Golasik for working on this :)

Testing XPath in Chrome

TIL that this is possible

Fetching single file from private repository (+ CI)

We had a situation in which we did need to write an API for an app, but decided to keep it in separate repository and deploy as separate app. This API would use original app’s database in read-only mode. The problem was how to prepare database structure for testing purpose. We’ve decided to use structure.sql from original app, but we did want to keep it in sync somehow.

First thing was to get Github’s personal access token

Then, locally we’ve just altered bin/setup to include following code

require 'dotenv/load'
#...
puts "\n== Importing database structure =="
  Dotenv.load
  system! %{curl -H 'Authorization: token #{ENV.fetch('DEVELOPER_ACCESS_TOKEN')}' -H 'Accept: application/vnd.github.v3.raw' -O -L https://api.github.com/repos/OtherApp/other_app/contents/db/structure.sql}
  system! 'mv structure.sql db/structure.sql'

  puts "\n== Preparing database =="
  system! 'RAILS_ENV=test bin/rails db:drop db:create db:structure:load'

while for CircleCi we did need to add following entry to .circleci/config.yml

      - run:
          name: setup-db
          command: |
            curl \
              --header "Authorization: token ${DEVELOPER_ACCESS_TOKEN}" \
              --header "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3.raw" \
              --remote-name \
              --location https://api.github.com/repos/OtherApp/other_app/contents/db/structure.sql
            mv structure.sql db/structure.sql
            bundle exec rake db:create db:structure:load --trace

Obviously do not forget to ensure correct value for DEVELOPER_ACCESS_TOKEN in your .env and on CircleCI.

Running apps locally using heroku cli

Procfile based apps can be run using heroku command:

heroku local
# or
heroku local -f Procfile.dev # it suports "-f" too

no need for foreman/overmind/… anymore.

Using syntax highlighting in markdown for TIL

If you present some code sinppets using markdown:

def method
   "hello"
end

remember to add language parameter to backticks like this:

```ruby
def method
   "hello"
end
```

then you will get colored output:

def method
   "hello"
end

This works even in GitHub.
