Ruby client

[Stelian]

As far as I've seen there is only a php and a python client but no ruby. Can we have a ruby client please?

[simicic]

Will come! ;) Now, let's see who makes it first!

Stelian's got 6 hours of meetings today, so advantage is yours, @simicic!

[Stelian]

@simicic you have a small heads up, but the war ain't over!

[simicic]

haha, then the good news can be that I work as well, maybe someone else can come in!

[rosstuck]

There's no rule that says we can't have multiple rafflers in the same language. That would even be fun.

There's also no rule that says a dog can't play basketball.

File.readlines($1).sample

or

# with error handling ;-)
File.readlines($1).sample if $1

[rosstuck]

Seriously though, PR? :) And then no more GIFs for me today, I promise.

[janpaul]

I will leave that for @simicic . She probably wants to write a spec too ;-)

[simicic]

haha, @janpaul believe it or not, that was my first thought, there should be some tests!! 😄 it seems you know me well...

[janpaul]

@simicic oh I absolutely believe it! I've known you a bit longer than today ;-)

[Stelian]

/me points at #4

[janpaul]

@Stelian here you go ;-)

File.readlines($1).sample if $1 && File.exists?($1)

[simicic]

oh no! where are the tests @Stelian ?? 😄

[Stelian]

I just ... /me walks away

[janpaul]

@simicic another shorty for you then

describe Raffle do
  let(:raffle) { Raffle.new } 
  it 'should be something sensible' do
    allow(File).to receive(:readlines).and_return %w(foobar)
    expect(raffle.run).to eq 'foobar'
  end
end

[simicic]

I am sorry @janpaul but this does not guarantee randomness, foobar could be my name ;)
you forgot one should have_received :sample ;)

[janpaul]

@simicic pffft

[rosstuck]

Reopening until we have a Ruby raffler with raffler with drama!

[ramondelafuente]

I wonder if I should try... does Ruby have any functions that start with "array_" ?
