I have a simple Yes/No selection list that I am using in a number of places. Thinking that I could DRY things out a bit, I added it to application_helper.rb ... YES_NO = [ [ "Yes", true ], [ "No", false ] ].freeze So I figured I would use it there instead of in each model.rb where needed. anyway, in webrick screen, I am continually seeing this...

Hi all Hope this isn''t too far off-topic on this list, as I think it would largely go ignored on the main rails list. I''m looking for the most pragmatic way to speed up our test suite. This is on an established project, and lets just say that we used way too many fixtures when we started =). For example: Finished in 128.870144 seconds. =============== 392 tests, 2106

I''m struggling to get switchtower working, and from other posts about it I know it has something to do with ruby binding to open ssl. I''m just not sure what I should recompile/reinstall to get things to work. running: "rake remote_exec ACTION=setup" gives me ---> ...executing "mkdir -p -m 775 /usr/apps/hello-rails/releases /usr/apps/hello-rails/shared/system

Having a weird issue where I can migration to version 1, but then go no further, and cannot go back to 0 -- but only from the command line. If I open up script/console I can do migrations just fine - down to 0 or up to 2, via ActiveRecord::Migrator. So I know the migrations must be valid, and I can verify that tables are created or destroyed in the database. Does anyone have any idea why this

Hello, I''m a big bookworm, so I decided to round up all the upcoming Ruby books in the market in one big blog post. At my count, there are _sixteen_ books to be released (in print) for the upcoming year, with some available in pdf form right now. Here''s the list: http://www.robsanheim.com/2006/03/23/ruby-and-ruby-on-rails-book-roundup/ Hope its helpful for fellow book nerds

Would upgrading rails and all dependancies break the installation of the fcgi/mysql bindings? I know I had all this stuff working a month ago or so, but since then I''ve updated a few times... - Rob -- http://www.robsanheim.com/ - blog on java, rails, tdd, agility, and life in general http://www.ajaxian.com/ - the net''s premier ajax blog

It looks like fastthread was rolled into 1.8.6: http://svn.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/tags/v1_8_6/NEWS?revision=12055&view=markup Does that mean once we upgrade to 186 we can forget about rubygem version? - Rob

Hi All, I saw spurious mentions on a few blogs of a DVD being made available of RailsConf presentations. However none seemed to have a who/what/when/where attached to them, thus might just be pure speculation. Anyone know of an official source/effort being made for a DVD? Would be well keen for copy if one is to be made available.... Cheers Rowan --- http://raili.st/ -------------- next part

I find that a lot of times I want to ensure a method gets called exactly once, for example when testing caching or eager loading. What does the list think of adding this little humane method to Mocha::Expectation? def once times(1) self end which means this: def test_should_only_grab_post_once_from_the_cache Post.expects(:get_cache).with(google_vs_yahoo.id).times(1)

Evening, Alright folks, as Jeremy Kemper mentioned I''m working on a set of "triage" scripts for the Rails trac using RFuzz to go through all the tickets and clean them out. I''ve talked this over with the core guys, and they''re behind it. I''m calling this set of scripts "THE MAGGOT" thanks to hasmanyjosh. Basically THE MAGGOT (all caps)

I''ve written a little ruby/rails hangman-ish app to keep my wife occupied at work that I think list members might also find interesting. I''m new to this list so I wanted to see if it would be considered bad form to post the link before I did. There aren''t any ads so I''m not getting anything out of more visitors, but I still didn''t want to take the

Hi all I got a vps setup amazingly fast using the deprec recipes on Ubuntu edgy, but now I''m having a minor issue where my site loads for the main domain when I only want it accessible from the subdomain. This is a pretty typical setup, apache 2.2.3 -> mongrel_proxy_balancer -> mongrel cluster. I''m sure I''m missing something obvious in the config... I have the

I''m having no luck trying to daemonize mongrel running a camping server. When mongrel daemonizes, I get: /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.0.1/lib/mongrel.rb:723:in `accept'': closed stream (IOError) from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.0.1/lib/mongrel/configurator.rb:293:in `join'' ...

Hey all, I''ve run into an interesting scenario that I think some of you might have some suggestions on. I am currently working on a RoR project and we are making full use of the migrations. We are also using a subversion repository for our source control. Now, the problem.... We are both making migrations and checking them into SVN. So, if in our checkout we have migrations up to 10 and

i have a rails app that tests fine with "rake spec" but gets a segmentation fault when "rake spec:rcov" is run. i am on windows xp, ruby 1.8.6, rails 2.1.1, mysql 5 my app is at http://github.com/scottnj/test_blog/tree/master so maybe someone can try to replicate my error so i know if the problem is with my code or something installed on my pc. here is a copy of my shell

I sure hope so: http://duckdown.blogspot.com/2006/03/additional-thoughts-on-why-ruby-isnt.html Seems like it''s getting genuine rebuttals, though. It''s actually kind of amusing.

Right now, I have the following in my application controller - and a simliar version is duplicated in test_helper. There must be a better way to include common functionality like this that gets used across layers? Maybe at the very least a way to include it at the class level and instance level with one line? # provide access to text helper at class level def self.text_helper

So I''ve used the helper test plugin, and also tried some things from Rails Recipes, and basically neither seems to work for cases where a helper does anything related to link_to/url_for, and this includes calling named_routes. This is obviously an issue, as a common use for helpers is to refactoring something like this: <%= link_to "text that changes slightly", :id => id
