Defined $TESTING

Ruby Apps Typo
1

Hi,

The copy of memcache.rb in typo’s trunk has the line

$TESTING = defined? $TESTING

at the top. This means that after including memcache, $TESTING is
definitely defined. If we’re testing, it’s true, if not, it’s defined
and
false.

In the typo code elsewhere, the checks for testing mode only check
whether
$TESTING is defined, not what its actual value is.

This means typo always runs in testing mode!

I believe this is the main reason threaded trackback pings were not
working properly.

Oh dear ghod! Thanks for the spot. I shall fix it immediately.

Thanks indeed. For those of us running the gem, just comment out or
delete the $TESTING = defined? $TESTING line and watch your Typo
instance go Vroom :slight_smile:
