I''m wondering what the accepted method for doing unit tests on STI models is. I tried to create a fixture for the class but Rails tries to load that data into the non-existent child table. I could create a fixture named for the real, parent table, but then it would be very difficult to test for the individual functionality and integrity of each sub-class. I saw this page

I''m trying to implement something in my app akin to 43things'' main page, where more active topics are bigger than the less active topics. The difference in my app is that I''m building a business-oriented app and want to have a list of clients, where clients with recent activity are larger than others. My perhaps too-clever way of going about this is by feeding each job

----------------------------------------------------- Announcing: jEdit Snippets for Ruby on Rails ----------------------------------------------------- I thought I''d "give a little back to the community" and whip up some SuperAbbrev files for ruby and rhtml that mimic all of the Textmate Rails bundle snippets. Note: This was totally inspired by Textmate and the syncPEOPLE

I''m trying to decide which IDE to go with for RoR development. I put a high premium on integrated test automated tools and debugging capabilities. I''d appreciate any sharing of experience. I''m currently running Instant Rails on a Windows 2000 box (using IR due to problems I encountered trying to get all the components set up individually). Also, I''m using

Short story: I need to use a different style of inputs to enter datetimes. What I want is to be able to implement these while still retaining the niceties of the built-in input helpers, like ActiveRecord error handling and automatic reconstitution of a single Date object from multiple form elements. What''s the best way to go about this? Long story: My form has one standard month

OK, we all know that Rails turned off instantiated fixtures by default in 1.0. That''s not a problem. However, what I''m now wondering is how to access the raw fixture data out of the YML file (as opposed to the database.) Mainly, for comparing my database results with my expected results in a DRY way. The book says if you have the command "fixtures :foo", that

Hi all, I''m having a very, very vexing problem regarding Socket#write and, therefore, all scripts that depend on it (including WEBrick, thus the Rails angle.) I posed this problem to the ruby-talk list, but I didn''t get a response there, so I pose it to you fine people. In short, my problem is that Socket#write doesn''t return, it just hangs. I''m using

I do apologize for asking this question here, but it seemed like the appropriate place: I keep trying to move from jEdit to RadRails for my ruby/rails development but there are a few things holding me back. I''m wondering if anybody could tell me whether these features are truly missing, or if I''m just missing how to make them work. Firstly, it doesn''t truly auto
