similar to: Order of tests matters???

Hi, It states on page 140 of Agile Web Development with Rails: Here?s the bottom line: even if a test method updates the test database, the database is put back to its default state before the next test method is run. This is important because we don?t want tests to become dependent on the results of previous tests. Well, I''ve been running into a brick wall with some functional tests

I wasn''t sure where to email this request, so I am hoping the author of file_column actually sees this. I was wondering if there were any plans to allow some configurability in the file_column plugin. By configurability I mean allowing the developer to define which table column is used as the unique identifier when creating image folders. Right now it seems like it uses the ID of the

I have controller that processes data in one table and puts results in another. Now that its'' working, I would like to be able to run it from the command line ( read: windows batch file).

I''m using bundled_resource, login_engine, and a few other plugins. It appears Rails considers plugins in alphabetic order. Turns out that there is a particular order that will work and alphabetic ain''t it. The login engine must be loaded first.

This all works like a charm. But in the partial I load in my rjs I also have a button for ''delete'' in the

Hi, I''m looking for a way to extend one of my models to allow some level of abstraction between what goes into it and how it is stored.
