I have a project with rspec installed as a plugin using svn:externals. Here are my externals: rspec_on_rails svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/trunk/ rspec_on_rails rspec svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/trunk/ rspec I just did an svn up on both and now have a version mismatch: ########################################################################

What is the correct way to mock out the errors on a Rails model? I''m assuming i need to say @mock_thing = mock_model(Thing) @mock_thing_errors = mock("errors") @mock_thing_errors.should_receive(:full_messages).and_return("An error") @mock_thing.should_receive(:errors).and_return(@mock_thing_errors) Just wanted to check the best practice on this kind of thing and how

Because Microsoft Word changes quotes to curly quotes, double dashes to en-dashes, etc., copied / pasted text from Word into a textarea can contain characters not rendered the same in all browsers. Put more bluntly, when they paste from Word, it looks like cr@p on my Mac. I¹ve seen this question asked before, but never seen the answer. Is there any translation table between Word¹s special

I have multiple projects and it''s important for me to track time by client and by project. There''s a Windows application that allows me to do this, but I''m looking for a cross-platform solution. I looked at ConsultComm but it wouldn''t install on my Mac. Rather than rewriting what seems like a commonly-required app, I wondered if anyone else had something they

OK so I''ve been trying to follow the tutorial here: http://rails.homelinux.org/ When I simply do "scaffold: category" in the controller.rb, everything works fine. BUT after I generate the controllers and other files using scaffold AS A SCRIPT (script/generate scaffold categories), DESTROY (or DELETE) does not work for any record in a table. This is the error I got: Processing

Hi all, I feel like I''m missing something really easy and I''m just not seeing it. I''m using the restful_authentication plugin and have a User model. Uesr has_many :things and Thing belongs_to :user. That''s it. I did a "script/generate rspec_scaffold thing" to generate all the necessary bits. The "rake db:migrate" to create the db. At

Hello-- There must be a better way to do this. I have a class method in my model that finds averages and does a few calculations using find_by_sql. The problem I¹m encountering is that all computed columns from MySQL come back as type string. E.g., def self.find_averages(domain_id) if @@domain_average return @@domain_average else @@domain_average =

I was curious if there was a built in feature in ActiveRecord or a plugin, but I basically have a database for phone numbers. I want a user to be able to make a phone number as main. There can only be one phone number marked as main at all times. Is there something for this?

All, I have a small Intranet app I''m trying to get ready for remote access. (I only have 15 or so users for now and I don''t plan to be adding very many more.). I have installed the login engine and it seems to be working as advertized. (Great job!) For my needs I don''t want random people to be able to register and get access to my app, but I will need to register

hi I''m using restful_authentication and have controller specs working using users fixtures (and login_as) however i''ve been trying for hours without success to do it without fixtures, using mocks and stubs instead. anyone here done this? got code? :) thanks

I''ve just started doing TDD/BDD and like the idea of mocks. So I set out to use them. The doc pages seem great, I setup the mock and then it just works. Here is what I am trying to do: Myuser is a non-rails model of user attributes. We are going to be mocking the connection to the ldap server. The user class has a login method that connects to the ldap server and if successful,

I currently have a dedicated server at ev1servers, but it''s getting rather antiquated (Redhat 9) and am looking to upgrade. I''m thinking about serverbeach.com - one of their CentOS servers. Anybody have any recommendations for dedicated servers on which to run Rails? Hopefully less than $200/month. Thanks! CSN __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hi all, I''m planning to bring a new app. to market, and I''m more the designer and business manager than the programmer for this project. We are deciding that technologies to use, and so I asked my programmer to take a look at RubyOnRails. Below are his first impressions. Could anyone with more experience on these matters kindly offer any response to the issues he raises? much

Hello-- I?m using Builder::XmlMarkup to create a menu tree and need to have some gee-whizzy javascript to make the menus expand, fade, twirl and dance. Ok, maybe not the last bit. Anyhow, because the html is generated mainly through code like: xm.li(:id=> ?menu_#{unique_id}?, :class => ?menu?){ xm << link_to_function(?menu name?, ?function_name?) } Unfortunately, link_to_function

I''m kind of getting my brain around Rails''ey things. Dates are an annoyance no matter what the language, but in keeping with DRY, I''m looking for something like: validates_date :between => 4/8/2002..5/29/2009 Or something like that. Additionally, it seems someone somewhere must have created a wrapper around strtotime. What I''m looking for is a way to parse

Make sure you get a relatively current version of rspec or you will get: /Users/me/rails/ubb/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/../../activesupport/ lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:263:in `load_missing_constant'': uninitialized constant ActionView::Helpers::JavaScriptMacrosHelper (NameError) Hope this helps someone.

My application is built on Rails and MySQL. It will only be accepting US formatted dates as input, however both Rails and MySQL are oriented around ISO the format. I know I can convert a good portion of the entries using ParseDate::parsedate but it does not appear this is how the conversion is taking place when data is being transferred from the params hash into model members. Say I have a field

I have a decoupled form embedded in my pages ? a search box that has date fields ? and of course the search fields are not in my model. However, picking dates is a great use for the Dynarch calendar. It seems that by using the syntax: <%= render :partial => ?filter_box? %> In my view and... <%= dynarch_date_select ''filter_box'', ''begin_date'' %>

Hi, My first e-mail... my apologies if this is not the appropriate e-mail list. My goal is to *write* from the guest OS to a CD or DVD reader/writer on my host system. Currently, the write operation is failing. I believe it is because the virtual CD-ROM device is set to be "readonly". Is it possible to write to a QEMU CDROM device and, if so, how? (The host machine's CD-ROM
