This change both speeds up specs (less strings to allocate) and helps catch
cases where methods in Discourse are mutating inputs.
Overall we will be migrating everything to use #frozen_string_literal: true
it will take a while, but this is the first and safest move in this direction
* SPEC: PollFeedJob parsing atom feed
* add FeedItemAccessor
It is to provide a consistent interface to access a feed item's tag
content.
* add FeedElementInstaller
to install non-standard and non-namespaced feed elements
* FEATURE: replace SimpleRSS with Ruby RSS module
* get FinalDestination and download with Excon
* support namespaced element with FeedElementInstaller
Since rspec-rails 3, the default installation creates two helper files:
* `spec_helper.rb`
* `rails_helper.rb`
`spec_helper.rb` is intended as a way of running specs that do not
require Rails, whereas `rails_helper.rb` loads Rails (as Discourse's
current `spec_helper.rb` does).
For more information:

In this commit, I've simply replaced all instances of `spec_helper` with
`rails_helper`, and renamed the original `spec_helper.rb`.
This brings the Discourse project closer to the standard usage of RSpec
in a Rails app.
At present, every spec relies on loading Rails, but there are likely
many that don't need to. In a future pull request, I hope to introduce a
separate, minimal `spec_helper.rb` which can be used in tests which
don't rely on Rails.
Feature to allow each imported post to be created using a different discourse
username. A possible use case of this is a multi-author blog where discourse
is being used to track comments. This feature allows authors to receive
updates when someone leaves a comment on one of their articles because each of
the imported posts can be created using the discourse username of the author.
