Rail Spikes: Auto-escaping HTML with Rails

Sat, 19 Sep 2009 13:28:05 -0700

Sanitize before saving or before displaying? Or both?

Should you sanitize text before saving it or before displaying it?

It's nice to not need to worry about doing anything extra in your views. However, if a field escapes your notice, you may be open for an attack.

I think your first line of defense should be model-level sanitization, but auto-escaping HTML is good backup. Doing both covers your bases at a cost of extra processing.

Rasta: Home

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 08:51:49 -0700

Rasta is a keyword-driven test framework using spreadsheets to drive testing.
It's loosely based on FIT, where data tables define parmeters and expected
results. The spreadsheet can then be parsed using your test fixtures.

For the underlying test harness, Rasta uses RSpec so in addition to reporting
results back to the spreadsheet you can take advantage of RSpec's output
formatters and simultaneously export into other formats such as HTML and plain
text.
