[LRUG] Acceptance-testing facebook canvas applications

[nicolas alpi]

Sorry was writing from the tablet, and hit send by mistake.

What we did for Facebook mydrinkaware app was to create a separate
subdomain, that will differentiate the normal app, from what you're seeing
on Facebook.

Then the tests are just normal acceptance tests.

And if you want to test the login with facebook, I was just writing
something about this yesterday using Devise and Capybara
