sometimes when using irb or ruby-debug in windows, backspace doesn’t work–it just doesn’t move the cursor, for some reason.

Possible fix: upgrade your version of rb-readline [?]

second, in rails tests sometimes you want to see all the HTML returned to the request.
Here’s how:
>> get :index
>> assert_select(‘*’)[0].to_s
“You are being redirected.“

Looks like you can change your driver’s license address online

https://secure.utah.gov/dlr/addressinstruction.html

go through the steps and click “renew” (or something like that) then you can enter a new address after that.
