Validating feeds in functional tests

Manfred Stienstra: Time to add validation to the functional tests.

Way cool.

I would recommend AA, and strongly suggest avoiding AAA as that was always experimental and never fully implemented.

I’d convert the Feed Validator over to Ruby if I felt like that would help it attract a larger development community.  I don’t suspect that many of the current contributors have a strong preference.

 Someone had a project that embedded the Python interpreter in Ruby, and actually used the feed validator as their example.  But I can’t find it.

As cool as that is Ian (and it is cool!), myself, I would strongly prefer to have a pure-Ruby implementation of the feed validator.

I suspect that having the feed validator installed as an executable command would probably be a lot simpler.  It’s been a while since I checked out the source to the feed validator.  There may already be one in there...

I know, I know, “patches welcome”.

Dominic, the Feed Validator is available as an executable command.  In fact, that’s exactly how Manfred’s code invokes it.

Excerpt from Spoken at

Hi... sorry, I have a quick programming question.

How would I direct all output of a rb script into a file, within the script. In other words, what do I need to call inside a script to have all of it’s output (print/echo/etc...) saved in /some/file.txt

Thank you!
