Hi,

I have a backgroundrb task initiated through the front-end.  
I also have an action in my controller I poll every second or so to see  
whether the task has completed, so that I can redirect to a confirm page  
on completion.

How do I functional and unit test this scenario?

Joerg

Hi all,

one feature/part of the rails project I have to do is a small  
wiki-functionality.

I don´t want to reinvent the wheel so I am searching for a existing  
wiki-solution as a rails-plugin.

I found insiki ([http://instiki.org/show/HomePage](http://instiki.org/show/HomePage)) which has all  
functions I need but I have really trouble to migrate the  
insiki-Projects  
to mysql.

I tried by following these instructions but it does not work:

[http://instiki.org/show/Instiki+and+MySQL](http://instiki.org/show/Instiki+and+MySQL)  
[http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/hoanga/2007/02/07/migrating-instiki-from-one-database-type-to-another/](http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/hoanga/2007/02/07/migrating-instiki-from-one-database-type-to-another/)

Does anybody have a solution for migrating insiki to mysql?  
Or better: Does anybody know a working Wiki-plugin solution?

Thanks a lot.
