Hi, I am working on a project where I need to generate a chart (a bit like a pie chart, but very customised) and insert this into a PDF document. Does anybody have any advice on ruby libraries (or other techniques) for doing this? Open to suggestions? The resulting PDF will be designed for printing and so ideally should be vector throughout (or any raster images 300dpi). I was thinking of some

Hi, I''m quite new to Rspec and I''m embarking on a new project. One thing I''m really not sure about is how to test plugins and code in your ''lib/'' folder. Where would these specs actually live in the dir structure? Should you test plugins by creating specs within the plugin''s dir? Or by adding a spec to the main ''/specs''

Hey, Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this. I''m using thin+puppetmasterd+nginx. If i add a host, sign it''s key, run puppetd successfully on it all is good, as expected.

Hey, Just thought I''d see how easy it was to use erubis rather than erb in rails, and so far all seems to be pretty easy. Just added a few lines in environment.rb and everything works as before. However, one page is causing a problem. It is a partial that is being passed a local variable. erubis doesn''t seem to see the local, and gives the following error? undefined local

Hi, I currently have puppet setup and backed into the dashboard and using ENC. I wish to control as much of the configuration of machines via the dashboard. However, I have a requirement to call a module/class multiple times and was wondering if this is possible? in a normal manifest I''d do this with the following: node "somenode" { somemodule::submodule {

Does anybody know how to get full backtraces for stories when they fail? I tried ''ruby stories/all.rb --trace'' but it doesn''t like that option. Thanks, ~ Mark -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, Trying to write a generic function to deal with either arrays or strings. Here''s a cutdown version of what I''m writing highlighting the problem I have. All i''m trying to do is take ''server1.testing.com'' from the variable $server (the variable being either a string or an array) and assign it to $bar, or assign

Hi list, In our platform we have a lot of machines in which the system is a single disk image loaded on RAM from PXE. The problem is quite simple : if I install puppetd on the image, I will end up using the same certificate for 100 different servers with different names (the hostname is setup at boot time from dhcp) and I guess the puppetmaster won''t allow that. In other words : what
