Example Depot application from Agile Web Development with Rails 4

Thoughts as I go through the example application.

Product controller functional tests per the playtime section in chapter 8.

Verifying that product description is getting truncated to 80 characters or less. I spent a lot of time searching around for a way to strip the HTML tags from the HTML::Tag object that is returned from the css_select method. I finally ended up including ActionView::Helpers::SanitizeHelper and using the strip_tags method. This seems overkill for just removing simple HTML tags. Is it possible to de something like css_select("dd").map { &:text ) and I'm just not seeing it?

Store controller functional tests In the functional test I ended up using the session variable directly, this makes the test too brittle for my liking. I'd like to get a hold of the @count variable directly. Need to look deeper into how to do this, might not even be possible.

For caching example see the turn-on-caching branch.
