Hi all, I know that in general, view and controller tests should be isolated, such that controller specs don''t test views etc. However, I think I''ve run into a situation that might be an exception. My controller uses render_to_string to produce a chunk of HTML that it passes to a model to be processed. The controller then redirects the user to a different page. The results of the render_to_string are not seen by the user. Since the controller is calling render_to_string, I''ve been trying to test that it is...

I have a batch job that will call script/runner, I would like in this call to create html formated email and save it to the database. This is easy enough in a controller with yournewhost.email = render_to_string :action => "email_newhost_ready", :layout => false But render_to_string is only available in controller action pack, is there a easy way to render_to_string in a Model? Or is there a way to call a controller action from script/runner? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/....

Hi, I am trying to generate a PDF from within a worker using PDF::Writer. In my controller I use render_to_string to create the pdf file however from what I understand render_to_string can only be used from a controller.

Hey guys. One of my controller actions uses #render_to_string to send back a JSON response. When I try to spec this, Ruby raises a NoMethodError, saying that #render_to_string doesn''t exist in my controller action. Here''s the controller action, spec, and output: http://pastie.org/1640962 Any idea what I''m doing wrong? Thanks...

How can I call render_to_string outside of a controller. I''m stuck on this. I''ve nearly got my plugin finished but I can''t seem to get this to work. The method is in ActionController::Base but it is protected. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

...troller. It seems like this is more work, but I can see that perhaps this was done by design as it forces me to more cleanly define what the controller actions render.

...t/worksheets/1.pdf This is great. However, now I need to add a feature where someone can request that I email them a PDF copy of a worksheet. In the interest of being DRY, I want to re-use all the prawn pdf generation code in my "show.pdf.prawn" view file. After poking around, I figured #render_to_string might do the job. The "email request" is implemented as the #email method/action in my controller. After grabbing the @worksheet object, I attempt to render the PDF as follows: worksheet = render_to_string :action => "show", :layout => false, :type => :prawn The #...

Hi, I''m developing a dashboard like page and basically want to combine the result of multiple actions on a page. I''ve done this so far: def index r1 = render_to_string :action => "action1" r2 = render_to_string :action => "action2" render :text => r1+r2 end This works, but now I want to render from other controllers and this is where I''m stuck. So in my current controller lets call it "Dashboard", I want t...

Is it possible to call render_to_string() in a controller that is not set as the default route? The content controller is set in routes.rb: map.connect '''', :controller => "content".

I use render_to_string to generate short reports (in HTML) under certain conditions when users access my application. The reports are stored in the database and uses database information at the time they are generated (and can thus not be generated later, e.g; when you want to consult them). The reports are generated...

I''m playing around with a list of todos, which I want to render as <ul>''s that can nest to an arbitrary level, so I wrote this as a helper method: def print_todo(t) str = "<ul>\n\t<li>" str += render_to_string(:partial => ''todo'', :object => t) + "\n" t.children.each { |c| str += print_todo(c) } str += "\n\t</li>\n</ul>" return str end Unfortunately, I can''t call this from the view because of the render_to_s...
