Chaotic Order helps you detect queries that are missing an order.
Sometimes we forget to add an order to our queries, or we don't add it because we assume that by default they will be returned ordered by id, but that is not guaranteed by the DBMS. By forcing a randomic order to the unordered queries, we can help you detect them more easily.
This gem can be useful helping detect intermittent tests failures that otherwise are hard to replicate.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
group :development, :test do
gem 'chaotic_order'
endNote that this gem is not recommended to be used in production.
And then execute:
$ bundle install
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install chaotic_order
By default the gem is turned off, and there are two ways to turn it on:
- By setting an environment variable
CHAOTIC_ORDER=true - By calling
ChaoticOrder::Config.enable!in a initializer
In either option, make sure that you are only enabling it in development and/or test environments, depending on your needs.
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem into your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
