This started, I think, after I upgraded to 1.1. trunk 508 $ruby script/console Loading development environment. /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/test/unit/assertions.rb:265: warning: already initialized constant UncaughtThrow >> Everything seems to work in the console, however.

Hi all, I''m trying to do a route test using assert_generates and running into a bit of trouble. The controller that I am testing is in a module - class Admin::AdminPortalController def index end end I want the user to jump to the AdminPortal/index action when they use http://myApp/admin, so I''ve put the following in routes.rb map.admin_portal

Just out of curiousity, what OS do most of you use for development? Do you prefer to use WinXP to do your development, and then deploy to a linux server, or do you actually use some distribution of linux (Ubuntu, Debian, Gentoo, etc) for development? Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Since a minor change in Rails (renaming the file that the version is stored in, namely) causes a bit of a hiccup for the Engines plugin, here''s a new release, full of bug fixes and other nice things. ALL users of Engines are advised to update their copy of the plugin to get these fixes. The Engines plugin is fully backwards compatible with Rails 1.0. Anyway - to update, please download

A pseudo poll on AR error handling... With AR, you have the choice between the following: (1) if thing.save go_for_it else handle_the_error end (2) begin thing.save! rescue RecordInvalid => error handle_the_error end (3) override rescue_action_in_public (ala the recipes book) or do something homegrown, and then just thing.save! --- The questions are: -Which idiom do you use and

I''ve tried any number of ways to output information to the test log from my tests, but nothing seems to work. Is there a setting someplace that I am missing? I''m just trying to do something on the order of logger.info "blah blah" from my test. TIA, Keith -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi I have just released a new version of my Prototype Window Class included modal windows and a lot of stuff that some people send me, thanks to all of you guys for your support. Seb

I''m trying to get the login/user engine combo up and working and am having difficulties. I got the login engine up and running fine, no problems. Now, on to the user engine. After fixing the needed stuff in the bootstrap task so it loads I''m able to login as the default admin ok. BUT none of the views/controllers that are in login/user_controller are being overridden by the

It seems like half the people on this list are writing a book on Ruby or Rails. For all the hints I''ve seen strewn across the list I have yet to see one that will focus on test-driven development for either Ruby or for Rails. If anyone is looking for a topic, please consider this. I''ve been trying to wrap my brain around the TDD process, but its way of thinking is

Hello Folks, This is the long awaited (like 2 weeks) 0.3.12 release of Mongrel. This release has received heavier testing than previous releases and supports a whole raft of improvements to existing functionality plus some new stuff. For those not clued in, Mongrel is a web server written in (mostly) Ruby. Check the funny dogs and read the docs about it at http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/. The

If you are in town and feel like joining us, we''ll be getting started around 4:00PM.

I have a web service api that references a struct in a file in the models directory. In 1.0, this worked, but in 1.1.0/1 I get undefined constant messages for the struct unless I put the full path to the struct in the require in the api file. Has something changed in the load paths for 1.1.x? TIA, Keith -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

All, I can''t seem to come up with the appropriate incantation to Rails return WSDL for my web service. I am attempting to use layered dispatching. For direct dispatching, I can simply access http://localhoss:3000/controllername/service.wsdl and all works as advertised. When I configure for layered dispatch, the same invocation returns "unknown action". I''m

(X-posting to the engine group as well) Wsdl calls fail under certain circumstances when the user engine is in use. After much experimentation, this is what I found. * I have an application that uses the login and user engines for permissions and security. The configuration works correctly. * I created a web service for the application. If I use direct dispatch (the default), I can both

The problem at hand is how to handle missing (but not required) refs to other objects when working in a view (that was not clear - gimme a minute:-). There has been some discussion of this on the wiki, but I was wondering what others thought about handling this. I have class A that belongs_to class B, and I want to display an attribute of B in the view, so I do something like the following:

When a column in a database table is actual data, rather than an fkey to another table, I can override the automatic accessor by just doing the following: def field_name # do something here read_attribute(field_name) end This does not seem to work for me if the field is an fkey, say user_id, linking to another table. I''ve made this work by aliasing the accessor like this: alias
