Hi. When I read Dave and Davids excellent book "Agile Web Development with Rails" the first time, I was particularly impressed with the following statement: 1.day.from_now It was used in a test class to set the date of tomorrow dynamically. Since it was enclosed in in ERb tags, I assumed this was a normal ruby statement, but when I tried it in my irb, i get the following error: irb(main):007:0> 1.day.from_now NoMethodError: undefined method `day'' for 1:F...

Got another question. It''s unclear to me what "every" means in the background function and how it relates to the RailsCron.create "every": >From README: RailsCron.create( :command => "Object.do_something()", :start => 2.minutes.from_now, :every => 12.hours, # default: 1.day :finish => 2.years.from_now # optional ) class EmailQueue < ActiveRecord::Base background :deliver, :every => 1.minute, :concurrent => true def self.deliver #process the queue...

...: OVERVIEW ======== RailsCron is a way to execute background tasks using your Ruby on Rails environment. The RailsCron object is an ActiveRecord, so you can manipulate it in familiar ways: RailsCron.create( :command => "Object.do_something()", :start => 2.minutes.from_now, :every => 12.hours, # default: 1.day :finish => 2.years.from_now # optional ) RailsCron.destroy_all RailsCron.find_by_command "some_command" Cron, when used with RoR, has the following shortcomings: * Significant startup resources req...

Look at your 1.day.from_now and see if it''s like this: Sun, 12 Oct 2008 02:45:42 UTC +00:00 If you also have the "UTC +00:00", it means that you timezone is the GMT (and I think that it isn''t your real timezone). For example, my timezone is 3 hours after the GMT, so the right timezone would be so...

...quest and also to test the cookies which have been set by a get/post request I know I can use cookies[:name] = ''value'' to set a cookie but how would I set expiry information on such a cookie? when i try to pass a hash {:value => ''value'', :expires => 3.days.from_now} the entire hash becomes the value of cookies[:name] thanks david -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/rspec-and-cookies-tf3134883.html#a8686339 Sent from the rspec-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

...ntil date to this time tomorrow. I''ve done something similar involving Dates, and you can stub the :today method to return something fixed. But when I tried this with Time, I found that RSpec calls Time.now four times per spec. So there''s no way to spec code like 1.days.from_now . The best I can come up with is this: context "A Quote" do setup do @quote = Quote.new end specify "should set the default valid_until date to this time tomorrow" do @quote.valid_until.should_be_between(1.days.from_now - 1.second, 1.days.from_now + 1...

I''d like to have a count down to a certain date, but display it in words, such as "123 days away" or something. I''m aware of the function "distance_of_time_in_words_to_now()", which will display "about 6 hours" or "12 days" or something like that, but how can I get it to reverse? Pass it a date for future reference, then it will error

I''ve been looking around for how to store the session ID in a cookie. The "Agile Web Development with Rails" books seems to indicate that this is done by default with Rails. But I don''t see a cookie being set in my browser. (yeah, they''re enabled) I poked through the RForum code to find something referencing "cookies" but nothing came up. Does

...weird thing is, if the registration deadline has passed, the error gets added to the registration object, and calling save! throws no exception, but the registration object doesn''t get saved.
