soapUI: Run each test suite with testrunner.sh

I was encountering “permspace” “Out.Of.Memory” errors, and I believe it’s because of a memory leak with the UI/Java. In any case, this worked for me:

1. Create a text file with the test suite names — will automate this soon by “capturing” the names from the XML project file.
2. Loop through it via the terminal:

while read i; do testrunner -s"$i" -R"TestSuite Report" -FPDF ~/project.xml; done < ../testsuites.txt

SVN Fix: Could not use external editor to fetch log message

In case you encounter the following error using SVN — on my Mac, for me:

svn: E205007: Could not use external editor to fetch log message; consider setting the $SVN_EDITOR environment variable or using the –message (-m) or –file (-F) options
svn: E205007: None of the environment variables SVN_EDITOR, VISUAL or EDITOR are set, and no ‘editor-cmd’ run-time configuration option was found

 Just run the following in your terminal and all will be good:

export SVN_EDITOR=vim   

Note: You can use "nano" or whatever editor you’d like.

Removing certain text in multiple filenames in OS X

I had a large number of ebooks that looked like the following:

Walter%20Isaacson%20-%20Einstein_His%20Life%20And%20Universe.mobi

And because I’m lazy, I looked for an automated way to clean all of them up.  This is how:

1. Back up all your files in another directory
2. Launch terminal
3. Go to the directory you’d like to perform the changes
4. Type: for i in *.mobi; do mv "$i" "`echo $i | sed ‘s/%20/ /g’`"; done
5. That’s it!
