Hello, I have this cucumber step definition: Given /^the site has pages "(.+)" and "(.+)"$/ do | page_1, page_2 | Page.create :title => page_1 if Page.find_by_title(page_1).nil? Page.create :title => page_2 if Page.find_by_title(page_2).nil? end This works, but obviously I would like to DRY it up. I was thinking along the lines. Given /^the site has pages "(.+)" and "(.+)"$/ do | *args | args.each { |page| Page.create :title =...

I''m trying to jump on the TDD/BDD bandwagon, but am having trouble understanding how i should mock my user. The user has a habtm relationship to a roles model (acl_system2 plugin), but I''m not sure how to tell rspec about a model. My code: describe UsersController do integrate_views before(:each) do @user = mock_model(User)

...nd model specs that use associations. #before @person = mock_model(Person) posts = mock(''post_proxy'') posts.stub!(:build).and_return(mock_model(Post, :save => true)) @person.stub!(:posts).and_return(posts) # now @person = mock_model(Person) @person.stub_association!(:posts, :find_by_title => mock_model(Post)) Just add this to the spec helper module Spec module Mocks module Methods def stub_association!(association_name, methods_to_be_stubbed = {}) mock_association = Spec::Mocks::Mock.new(association_name.to_s) methods_to_be_stubbed.each do |method,...

I''m trying to clean up some of my sloppy code, and one of the things I''m working on is trying to make this huge group of variables a bit more elegant. My variables look like this: @business_core_courses = Category.find_by_title(''business_core_courses'').courses @written_communication = Category.find_by_title(''written_communication'').courses Etc... It seems like there is a lot of repition going on, and that this could be cleaned up somehow. the "business_core_courses" and...

...save all the tags associated with it. I do that in the post_controller like this presently: def save @post = Post.new(@params[:post]) @tags = Tag.new(@params[:tags]) @post.user_id = session[:id] if @post.save @tags.title.split('','').each do |tag| present_tag = Tag.find_by_title(tag.strip) present_tag = Tag.create(:title => tag.strip) if present_tag.nil? @post.tags.push(present_tag) end flash[:notice] = "Successfully Created Post!" redirect_to :controller => "home", :action => "index" else render :action =&gt...

...two references to the same database ActiveRecord object, then deleting with one of them, followed by saving with the other, true is returned, but no new record is actually saved. e.g.: doc=Document.new(:title => "sam''s speciality") doc.save doc.id # ==> 23 doc2=Document.find_by_title("sam''s speciality") doc2.delete doc.title # ==> "sam''s speciality" doc.save # ==> true doc3=Document.find_by_title("sam''s speciality") # ==> nil Should that second doc.save really return true? This situation could easily enough ari...

...self.scoped( :joins => ''CROSS JOIN role_types'', :conditions => [ "(roles.role_type_id = role_types.id) + " AND role_types.name = ?", role_name ] ) end end ... end Querying is easy: m = Movie.find_by_title(''Gran Milano'') m.participants.as(''director'') However, changing relations is painful. It''s already bad with has_many :through associations when the intermediate model is not completely dumb, and my scope trickery doesn''t make it any better....

How would one write a spec on environment.rb in a rails app? I was requiring a gem in environment.rb, but received a "MissingSourceError". Generally, ruby raises a LoadError when it can''t find a gem, but rails overrides this to raise a MissingSourceError (since rails is expecting a required file to be in lib/...). How would I write a spec to override this behavior,

I''ve set up my app to display a post by retrieving its title instead of id, which works fine, except it looks like this "/post/the+title+of+post%3F" and I want it to be "the_title_of_post?" with underscores instead of plusses. Can anyone shed light? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

All, Win XP SQL Server 2000 Rails 1.1.6 (AR 1.14.4) I have two objects (Job and Warning) in a HABTM relationship.

Hi, I''m pretty new to the concept of restful routing and am struggling to find any rails 2 info that helps with what I''m looking for. I have a regular scaffold setup and the routes are setup as default map.resources :pages I would like to be able to use titles in the url rather than relying on the id. Eg localhost:3000/pages/sometitle instead of just localhost:3000/pages/1

...d need to define all the common attributes (title, description, creation, modification) and that would be painful if I wanted to add additional common attributes such as created_by (id of some user). I''m also not really sure if using strait inheritance will allow me to say things like Page.find_by_title("some title") and return a mixed list of matching subclass instances. The last option is to use polymorphic associations. So I would change my Page model to look like this: Page - has title - has description - knows how to turn self into rss feed item - knows how to turn self...

My department is in a battle right now. We have some very por PHP people and very pro Rails people. The php guys make a good argument that Rails is good for new applications where we dictate the DB schema. PHP shines where we go into an existing application, or a new one where multiple databases or possibly legacy systems are involved. The PHP guys basically say Rails is good for Web 2.0

Sorry if this is a complete newbish question, but I''m trying to wrap my head around creating custom classes in my rails webapp. I''m normally a Java developer, but I figured I''d give RoR a try and see how I like it, and whether it would be useful for production use with a new client. Anyways, what are the best practices for custom classes? Where and/or how do I create
