See the :track and :scope subsections under Strategies in the README.The track strategy dumps a YAML representation of all data gathered to config/scrooge/scopes/* when the process exits. The workflow would be : * Set strategy to :track for your test environment * Run your functionals and / or integrations * Commit changes to config/scrooge/scopes to your SCM ( not ideal practice, but this being work in progress ... ) * Scope in production to the signature from your latest track run, either through the configuration file or setting ENV['scope'], which is more Capistrano friendly etc. This was the initial track of thought as per http://github.com/methodmissing/scrooge/commit/a94a86fe77fa7c27f88c5edfe35a2bd8e14d3f4d , but sadly the state of test coverage for most apps leaves much to be desired.Ilya helped shape thinking away from that. - Lourens @Ed,

Scrooge integrates seamlessly with your test suite.

See the :track and :scope subsections under Strategies in the README.The track strategy dumps a YAML representation of all data gathered to config/scrooge/scopes/* when the process exits.

The workflow would be :

* Set strategy to :track for your test environment

* Run your functionals and / or integrations

* Commit changes to config/scrooge/scopes to your SCM ( not ideal practice, but this being work in progress … )

* Scope in production to the signature from your latest track run, either through the configuration file or setting ENV['scope'], which is more Capistrano friendly etc.

This was the initial track of thought as per http://github.com/methodmissing/scrooge/commit/a94a86fe77fa7c27f88c5edfe35a2bd8e14d3f4d , but sadly the state of test coverage for most apps leaves much to be desired.Ilya helped shape thinking away from that.

Would be nice to do a rake scrooge:scope_from_specs or something which runs all the specs and does everything for you. If it could write the app for me too that would be a bonus.

I've found the above to be more or less middle ground - there isn't much else one could do. See "Handling Missing Attributes" in the README - Lourens @ Ryan and @Nick,
