Studying the RoR 3 Tutorial book by Michael Hartl and on page 345 there''s the code inside the SessionsHelper: _________________________________________________________ module SessionsHelper def sign_in(user) cookies.permanent.signed[:remember_token] = [user.id, user.sault] self.current_user = user end end __________________________________________________________ What is the purpose of "self" inside the session helper? I know that inside a model it refers to the class object. For example Class User < ActiveRecord::Base self.salt it refers to User.salt But when it i...

I''m trying to jump on the TDD/BDD bandwagon, but am having trouble understanding how i should mock my user.

My code: describe UsersController do integrate_views before(:each) do @user = mock_model(User)

I want my helpers to generate paths using a superclass instead of the subclasses. Assuming I have Owner and Member that both inherit from User, rails will use the current objects class name when generating paths: Let''s say current_user is a mod: <%= link_to current_user.name, current_user %> will generate "/mod/:id". I want to force it to generate "/user/:id" regardless of the subclass. I can name the path: <%= link_to current_user.name, user_path(current_user) %> But I still want to use the...

Let''s say you''re using the restful_authentication plugin. You have a model called articles. On the index action of the articlescontroller you simply want to spec out that it''ll scope the results to the ownership of the current_user. It should NOT include any articles other than the articles that user owns. How would you properly spec this out?

Could someone please explain why this works: current_user.accounts.sum(:balance) But not this: current_user.accounts.find_all_by_active(true).sum(:balance) For the latter Rails tells me sum is an undefined method.

Here's what happens: User-A part of group1, opens Excel file off of share, saves, exits...

My application needs to know if a user is an administrator, for security and aesthetic reasons. At the moment, I store true/false in the session by doing the following at login: session[:user_is_admin] = authenticated_user.is_admin? Is this OK to do? Or should I really be doing the following every time: User.find(session[:user_id]).is_admin? (user_id is always in the session too) Is there
