Metric Fu

Metric Fu is a compilation of several tools to help find areas of code that could be improved. In this episode I show you how to setup this tool on the railscasts.com source code.

I'll be doing metric_fu.


2. gUI Jun 15, 2009 at 01:53

Nice subject, but this screencast is really to short !!!

Don't hesitate to give us more details on each of these tools.


3. JR Jun 15, 2009 at 07:00

Hi gUI. In defense of Ryan, if you want a more detailed screencast, pls feel free to start your own.

ryan's given us 166 great screencasts. if it weren't for these, my RoR understanding wouldn't be what it is.

it's good that they're short because it makes you explore the API more on your own time, not Ryan's time.

There is a neat fork done by a ThoughtBot guy at http://github.com/qrush/metric_fu/tree/master that gives the metric browsing site some nicer styles to match the Integrity CI server styles.

@gUI, I wish I could have had time to go into more detail but I had to do this episode at the last minute. My scheduled episode covered a new feature in 2.3.3 which I expected to be released by now, but it has been delayed.

@Erik, thanks for the link. I'll add it to the show notes.

When shall we expect to see some new mastering-rails-forms screencasts?

Thank you,
Jason

Every cast is really fantastic, thanks Ryan, i'm going to learn more about this. I don't knew nothing about Metric Fu. I like simple things.

Ryan, you made a comment in the podcast about not liking the look of the output from RCov. I agree, to the point that a month or so ago I created a fork that generates better-formatted output, sortable columns, and even lets you use your own external CSS style sheet.

More information is at http://www.idolhands.com/ruby-on-rails/making-rcov-pretty-with-custom-css/ and the project itself can be downloaded from http://github.com/Bantik/rcov

Just for the record, 'Saikuro' would be pronounce roughly like 'sigh-crow', which is a Japanese approximation to 'cyclo.'


10. Kevin Rutherford Jun 16, 2009 at 11:00

@Jake -- Marty Andrews and I made a spike of crap4r at http://github.com/kevinrutherford/crap4r/tree. Nothing wonderful yet, mostly due to lack of time and the difficulty of digging information out of rcov.

if it weren't for these, my RoR understanding wouldn't be what it is.

Good..

Hey Ryan, I failed to install metric_fu ,since I am using windows system it is giving me problem for nmake (it is a shell command windows not able to recognize it), The same problem occurred to me when installing relevance-rcov for cucumber.

Thank you for article, this information to me real helped, wait the continuations.


19. John Yeates Feb 21, 2010 at 09:23

It's now just "gem install metric_fu" rather than jscruggs-metric_fu since the advent of gemcutter.

I got caught out by this, and spent ages trying to get reek working…

(A shame the comments aren't mirrored on the ASCIIcasts, since anybody working from those — like I was — won't see this :)

Three blonde women were stranded on an island. While trying to dig their way out, one of them came across a buried lamp. Suddenly a genie appears and offers to grant each one of them one wish, in return for saving him.
