I''m trolling for example RSpec code. Any pointers appreciated. Cheers, Obie

Hi, My question is. What are your performance experiences compared to languages such as PHP, PERL and ASP? Could you build a site as big as Ebay on rails and have it perform fast enough? I''m afraid that the generalisation in components I see so much users asking for will make the framework too heavy compared to a clean programmed for perfomance PHP application. Probably even

I''m writing a simple app that doesn''t need to use a database. I added :active_record to the config.frameworks -= line in environment.rb file. This lets me run ./script/generate fine without complaining about no connection. However if I try to run a functional test, it complains about no connection being established. Well...I don''t want a connection to be established.

Hi everyone, We had a really successful meeting tonight in Atlanta. The topic was an introduction to Ruby on Rails and our attendance was 30 people, which is over double of what we normally get. (Our attendance has dropped since moving the venue about 25 miles north of the city. The majority of the group stayed well past two hours, at which point we took a break. The entire presentation and

It seems like half the people on this list are writing a book on Ruby or Rails. For all the hints I''ve seen strewn across the list I have yet to see one that will focus on test-driven development for either Ruby or for Rails. If anyone is looking for a topic, please consider this. I''ve been trying to wrap my brain around the TDD process, but its way of thinking is

Hey all, I got annoyed recently that I couldn''t specifiy multiple chunks of test setup and teardown code that get executed for each test. You''re currently limited to just one setup method (unless I''m much mistaken). Anyway, I just wrapped up my solution in a plugin. The answer: use blocks! class Test::Unit::TestCase # This is overridden by the subclass and will

We''re looking at big IBM hardware running AIX as a potential deployment platform for the big credit card processing Rails and Ruby stuff that my team is currently building. I was wondering if anyone else is running on AIX or knows if Ruby is well-supported on this platform. I googled the subject, but http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby/browse_thread/thread/3daaf60b012c1921 is

I have: class Post < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :comments do def published find( :all, :conditions => {:published => true} ) end end end When in my controller I do Post.find(:first).comments.published.paginate :page => params[:page] I get an error undefined method `paginate'' for []:Array Is will_paginate supposed to

I have been frustrated with J2EE technology just like any other developer who has worked in that technology for a long time. This made me learn about Rails and I was excited about RoR. Today I came across JBoss Seam framework and I am not able to contain my excitement. My passion for JEE development is back. It seems like it is better than RoR. I would like to hear differnt opinions about this

Visual Studio-based IDE for Rails? Stands for Rails IDE Minus Eclipse.

In early February, me and several other ThoughtWorkers* are starting a substantial Ruby and Rails project at a bank in Wilmington, DE and we will be commuting weekly to the area for at least a few months. I tried to find a Ruby user group in the area but came up empty. Anyone have more info or interested in us helping them get a new group launched? Thanks in advance, Obie *Including well-known

[Apologies for the slightly-off-topic posting.] BizConf is a one-of-a-kind event that I am hosting about 3 months from now here in northern Florida. It''s a 2-day conference specifically crafted for independent consultants and owners/managers of small to mid-sized web consultancies. Because of who I am and the audience I can reach, I expect the majority of the attendees to be involved
