intertwingly

It’s just data

Typo-Atom patch


Seven months ago, I got Jim Weirich to make a change to builder.

Monday, I got David Heinemeier Hansson to incorporate that change into Rails.

Today I noticed that the title for this entry showed up as

Associations aren't :dependent => true anymore

on Planet Intertwingly.

Time to kick it up a notch.  This time I’m armed with a patch.  A patch that includes test cases.

Along the way, I fixed a number of other things.  Summaries placed in content.  And enclosures without a length.

I also noticed that the function tests can make use of a local copy of the Feed Validator.  Sweet.  It should surprise no-one that I have a local copy of the Feed Validator on my machine.

Apparently, these tests haven’t been run for a while, as they don’t pass.  Invalid itunes elements, invalid authors, and other errors abound.

Open offer: if this patch is accepted, I’ll fix those issues next.

And I’d like to talk to somebody about xml:base...
