Folks, I''d like to spec the behaviors that I''m adding to ApplicationController. Specifically, I''m adding: def authenticated? session[:username] != nil end I described ApplicationController, but couldn''t figure out how to call the authenticated method. I''m probably going about this quite wrongly and would appreciate any hints? Thanks, Scott --

I track svn/trunk of Rails using svn:externals Some change to Rails committed in the last 1-2 days broke my subclass of ApplicationController The example, below, works with Rails 1.0, but in today''s svn, it dies with the following error: "superclass mismatch for class FooController" class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base end class FooController <

Good morning rspec people! Still rspec nuby: I must do something wrong obviously. How can I spec about redirect_to at ApplicationController describe ApplicationController do it "method login_required should redirect to home path without login" do pending "I tried to use controller.login_required.should be_redirected and got NoMethodError with nil object

Hi there, How is it possible to get access to an ApplicationController property from a view? Consider this (simplified) situation: class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base def folder_id @folder_id = params[:id] return @folder_id end end class FolderController < ApplicationController def show @folder = Folder.find_by_id(folder_id) end end So far,

Hi all, I''ve been Googling this one for a while now, and haven''t found a satisfactory answer. It has been posted here before by someone else, but it seems to have got forgotten, so here goes - perhaps someone can think up a way around the problem? In ApplicationController, I have the following method: class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base <snip>

Newbie to RoR -- as a long time Java Struts/etc. guy it is an awesome tool! I have implemented some basic login/session stuff with the help of a great tutorial, props to the author ( http://www.aidanf.net/rails_user_authentication_tutorial). I have a trivial instance method in ApplicationController, which just grabs the User object from the session. def current_user session[:user] end

Hi all I want to outsource an extension for ApplicationController, that I had in application.rb so far, into a plugin. I have created this plugin, and in init.rb I load require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/lib/application_controller'' In lib/application_controller.rb I have the following code: class ApplicationController before_filter :prepare_user ... end This worked

Hi I would like to do the following: I have created an admin namespace and the required folders app/admin views/admin etc. And then I wanted all controllers under app/admin to inherit from a controller named AdminController which resists under app/admin/admin.rb instead of inhereting from ApplicationController, so I could better separate between admin and public section. The AdminController

Hi, I''ve added a custom library called lib\AccountSystem like so: "module AccountSystem SINGLE = 1 MULTIPLE = 2 class << self attr_accessor :account_system_type end end" Now I wanna configure AccountSystem.account_system_type=AccountSystem::SINGLE in one app. I used an initializer: config/initializers/account_initialization.rb where I put this line in. I

Can I set an application wide instance variable that is available for all actions...and their views? eg. class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base @current_user = User.find(session[:user_id]) end and everywhere I can call @current_user.id and I can get that object? Even down in the views? I could not get this to work... Thanks in advance, Jeff -------------- next part

Yes, more dependencies.rb fun! As far as I''m able to ascertain, these errors started appearing after upgrading from Rails 2.3.1 to 2.3.2 and persist in 2.3.3. They''re highly nonderministic and appear rather sporadically, which makes it extremely frustrating. Multiple developers on our team have experienced this problem across varying versions of Ruby/Rails. They''re

I''m already successfully testing before_filters in application_controller courtesy of this blog post: http://www.movesonrails.com/articles/2008/01/23/spec-ing-your-application-controller However, i can;''t work out how to test the sort of method that is added to application_controller so that all controllers can use it. It must be something simple that i''m doing

Hi All I can''t for the life of me see what is wrong with this. Maybe it''s cause it''s midnight... I want to put some data in a session and I have some code like this: class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base model :mything def ApplicationController.chosen_thing session[:chosen_thing] ||= MyThing.defaultThing end end So whenever I try to

Hello list, I''m trying to start my Rails server after doing a long complex switch from Postgres to MySQL, and I''m getting the following error: => Booting WEBrick... /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.5/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:200:in `const_missing'': uninitialized constant ApplicationController (NameError) from

Hello, I''m trying the secure_actions plugin (or ssl_requirements) I''m installed the plugin, and added the include in application controller: class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base include ExceptionNotifiable include AuthenticatedSystem include SecureActions ... but when I try to run the specs I got this error:

Slowly figuring out how to get my SaltedHashLoginGenerator stuff working. The wiki page says to put "before_filter :login_required" in the user (my "user" is "member") controller or in ApplicationController. However, wherever I put it I get NoMethodError. The rest of the SHLG stuff seems to be working... or at least I could get to the signup page, register, and

Hello, Rather new to RoR, so I''m not sure about the terminology and such :-/ . My question is: how could I know the model which is associated to a controller? For example: - controller class is TestController, which is a subclass of ApplicationController - associated model class is Test How could I write some code in a method of ApplicationController to dermine the current

Given the following ApplicationController specs: describe ApplicationController, "one facet", :shared => true do it ''foo'' ... it ''bar'' ... end describe ApplicationController, "some other facet", :shared => true do it ''abc'' ... it ''xyz'' ... end describe

Hi ! I''ve pasted Rails Recipe #31: Authentication code, but I wish to use these methods in several controllers. Then I pasted them in ApplicationController, using before_filter method in all the other needed controllers. The problem is that Rails always tries to render a missing template inside the current controller ( app/views/controllers/admin/article/signin_form.rhtml ) while

I created a user login system in ApplicationController. There is a def called signin. It needs a view file, signin.rhtml I have a couple of other controllers inheriting from ApplicationController. Where can I place the view file so it is viewable across all controllers? I tried the root view folder but that didn''t work. Right now, I would have to copy and paste the signin.rhtml file
