...try ... Why? Because it contains a workaround for the notorious Ruby 1.8.2 test/unit bug. Using this version of rails, it should be possible to unit test a rails app without patching the Ruby 1.8.2 test/unit library. Where to get it? Right now it is only available for download from http://onestepback.org/download/rake-0.4.15.1.gem (Note: just do a regular download using your browser, I don''t have gem server setup on that box so a gem remote install won''t work). After you ownload it to a local file, then run gem install rake-0.4.15.1.gem (admin access may be needed). Th...

I was reading through the FlexMock docs and noticed the expectation method .mock, which returns the original mock associated with an expectation. It looks really handy for writing nice all-in-one mocks like: mock_user = mock(''User'').expects(:first_name).returns(''Jonah'').mock So I started playing around with mocha and found I could actually already do this!

Hi, Does anyone have any links to, or info on, how best to leverage the power of a dynamic language. That is coming across from Java to Ruby I''m now pondering what would be the typical scenarios where I could actually call upon the power of a dynamic language. This info could be in the form of best practice for dynamic language usage, or dynamic language patters perhaps.

Hi List, I''m a new rubyist and railist, and my web-dev background is php, where I used and contributed to the WACT framework. Continuations are dead cool aren''t they. As I understand it, the problem with having them in rails is that marshalling them isn''t feasbile, so in a stateless environment, they can''t be easily implemented. (Is this correct?) My idea

I''m trying my best to get Builder to give me a nested representation of my nested database tables, but I think I''m not getting any closer to a solution. In fact, now I''m in Syntax Error land, rapidly approaching Missed Deadline country. Perhaps you could be the one to save my ass? Basically, I have Images which have many Options (intended to represent

I''ve been using the login generator ''out of the box'' for simple authentication, and its been working fine. Now I want to extend it by simply adding ''type_id'' field which links to my ''user_types'' table, but I''m hitting: #<ActionController::SessionRestoreError: Session contained objects where the class definition

Hello all, I''m working on a couple of Rails projects at the moment and have noticed something that seems to go against the DRY principal. Why, when scaffolding, are individual CRUD rhtml files created instead of using one as a partial and having the others use that single partial? This especially applies to the list rhtml. I am about to get to the other operations and see how feasible

hello Friends, I am a newbie to "Ruby or Ruby on Rails". A J2EE application architect at my day job. A fairly experienced PHP web-developer as well. After reading into the many articles on Ruby/ROR, have to admit looks pretty good so far. Really serious about getting into this and possibly developing some good Web 2.0 applications. Just wondering the best way to learn Ruby on

Hi all, Last night, I wrote a web-based syntax highlighter that takes Ruby and produces nice HTML of the code, ready for including on web pages, or in blog posts, or whatever.

While the spirit of BDD is to spec first and code second, many of us have legacy code. Worse, some of us have legacy code without very good coverage. Recognizing that *I* have such code, I created a script that grinds through your .rb files and creates placeholder specs for each public method. While it is more sensible to spec behavior of code function than of individual methods, this

I''m banging my head over this really strange error in a view test when I run "rake spec". The weird thing is that I don''t get the error when I run the spec file by itself.
