I am serializing a data object (FooData) into an ActiveRecord column (Foo). I''d like to be able to do delegate methods to the data class if the Foo class doesn''t have that attribute. So instead of: f = Foo.new f.data.item1 I''d like to do: f = Foo.new f.item1 I was hoping that I could add a method_missing method to my Foo class and call methods in the FooData class

i''m using method_missing to implement a simple metaprogramming that checks for account rights. in Account << ActiveRecord::Base i defined: def method_missing(m, a = {}) if m.to_s =~ /^has_right_(.*)$/ ... calls another method passing $1 parameter end end it seems to override some of the active record methods based on method missing. in the console it seems to work ok so i

Hi, I am using a method_missing method into a controller. I have a route that says: match '':controller/:action'' What surprise me is that if a view that match the action name exists method_missing is not invoked but rails happily render the view. I was expecting that method_missing was going to be invoked if declarated. Is that a normal behaviour? Thanks Andrea -- You

I have a site (for an academic conference) that I want to convert to RoR - both as a learning exercise and to ease further updates and development. There are a number of child pages for each conference (past and future), but these pages are different for each conference (not same child pages for each conference). The URLs are along the lines of: /conference/2000/keynotes

so i have an after_create method on my track model that kicks off a background process that converts an mp3 to a swf. this is working fine locally on my machine, but upon moving it to my production server, i am getting the following error. I''ve only been using backgroundRB for like 48 hours, so i''m not really sure what this means or where to go. any ideas?

Hi everybody, I would like to use ruby2ruby in a caming project, but there seems to be an incompatibility with camping, ruby2ruby and markaby. Unfortunately I receive strange Markaby::InvalidXhtmlErrors. To demonstrate, that only combination of all three components causes the problem I added the following code. I relies on Markaby and ruby2ruby only and works fine (a.k.a. as expected).

I''m writing a method_missing handler to "automagically" create assertions from predicate functions. So, for example, one use might be: assert_not_include ''joes@shmoe.com'', response.to -or- assert_include ''info@mydomain.com'', response.from The code is working properly, but when I trigger an assert, the backtrace shows something like:

I have a couple forms that I''d like to be able to validate and automatically populate, but it shouldn''t be based on AR. In fact I often have a bunch of small forms that I can''t really justify writing a whole new model class for anyway. I''d like to validate the form input, and then use rails helpers to automatically populate the form if validations fail.

I''m attempting to get rforum working. I pulled it from the subversion repository. Everything works fine until I attempt to make a post.

Say you have two models Post and Author. And Post has_many :authors Finally, method_missing is overridden in Author. Then if you do Post.limit(1).first << Author.limit(1).first You get an exception Author does not define :to_ary Or has there been a change in rails 3 that I have completely overlooked while migrating my app? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

I am unable to call a polymorphic scope using the searchlogic plugin as it keeps on returning ''undefined method''. I am certain it is only a problem within my project as I created a test project and I was able to call a polymorphic scope using the searchlogic plugin.

Hi all, We''re attempting to use Ferret with the DRb server at the moment, and it doesn''t work, at all... = Executive Summary The DRb server process keeps on calling the remote index to the DRb server process...

Is it possible to support something like the following: def validate_address{#/d/#) x = {#1} miscfunction(x) end And yes, I totally just made up some bogus syntax - I have no idea if a variable function name containing a regular expression is possible... perhaps through some trick of aliasing? I figure it must be possible, due to the model.find_x_and_y() methods in ActiveRecord.

Hello there, I''m wondering how do they create functions on the fly? find_by_any_column_name ??
