Tried to submit a ticket in Trac, but it reported an error... Doing a Model.find_by_id(nil) after creating an object of type Model returns that object -- and the next time, returns nil. It should always return nil. For example, Step 1. Create an object: >> Foo.create(:name => "bar") => #<Foo:0x2aaaac3ade20 @new_record=false, @errors=#<ActiveRecord::Erro...

...what''s going on here because I''m baffled! In a controller''s action I want to create a new order for a customer. Because I post back to the same action (not RESTful I know, but that''s for another day) I use code like this: def edit @order = Order.find_by_id(params[:id]) || Order.new ... end I noticed that when params[:id] is nil, the finder still retrieves an order -- the order whose id matches the :customer_id which is in my params hash. Weird. I then noticed that if I ran the finder a second time, it correctly returned nil. Weirder...

I have a model named User. When running this application from the console I can call User.find_by_id(nil) and it returns nil. When running this application during testing or through WEBrick or Mongrel calling User.find_by_id(nil) returns the newest record in the database. But it only does this the first time you call it with nil. The second time you call User.find_by_id(nil) it returns nil. I...

I''m playing around with the Postback action recipe listed in the recipes book. Here is the default code given: def edit @recipe = Recipe.find_by_id(params[:id]) || Recipe.new if request.post? @recipe.attributes = params[:recipe] redirect_to :main_url and return if @recipe.save end end Here is what my code sort of ended up looking like, altho i''ve ripped it apart so many times now trying to figure it out: def edit...

Hi all - I have written an XML-RPC app using action-web-service. Mostly works well. Except I just noticed that my :datetime types are coming back as :date types. That is, when in the console I query the record via Foo.find_by_id(123) I get back actual datetimes. If I then do it via XML-RPC, fetching that same record I get back dates (ie. hour/minute/second are set to 00:00:00) Any ideas? Tried google, and ruby-forum is down and am up against a deadline... My api/model method looks like this: def find_by_id...

...th the fixture- driven way of spec-ing or mocking. How the heck to you mock this so the code at line (2) and (4) work right? I''m still struggling with mocks but it seems like this can be done. Forgive the naivety of this question. 1. def change_quantity 2. @line_item = LineItem.find_by_id(params[:id]) 3. unless @line_item.nil? 4. @line_item.update_attribute(:quantity, params[:quantity]) 5. @extension_id = "extension#{params[:id]}" 6. end 7. end Thanks

This has the look of a "just don''t quite get it yet" problem. I am using the ActiveRecord.find_by_id method to identify the parent object (Quiz) to tie to the child object (Question) at create time.

I read these: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/185297#new http://www.freezzo.com/2008/05/14/override-default-find-conditions-for-model/ it works, it override the .find perfectly, however it does not cover .find_by_id or other .find_by_XXX Is there anyway to override all the find function of a modal?

BUT here is the big kicker.... If I do @testamonial = Testamonial.find(:first) everything works fine and the image is show!.. (find :all works too when I loop

So, I''ve been following the recommendations for controller specs here: http://blog.davidchelimsky.net/articles/2006/11/09/tutorial-rspec-stubs-and-mocks Most notably: a single expectation per specify block; the setup block contains only stubs; mock expectations each get their own specify block. (I''m still using 0.8, so I haven''t gotten the describe/it goodness yet.) I

Hello, Has anyone already come up with a set of shared behaviours that someone could leverage when adhering to a CRUD concept, with respect to controllers? Relatedly, it would be nice if there were a way to share generalized behaviour specs. -Chris
