search for: view_paths

Hi all, I''ve been playing in the trunk with putting stuff in different dirs to keep files from a reusable framework separate from the app files. Here are a few considerations regarding the view_paths setting: config.view_path is used to set both action_controller.view_paths and action_mailer.template_root. We get some buggy/unexpected behavior here because action_controller.view_paths can be an array or a string, while template_root is a single string. config.view_path can be set to ei...

Hi there, I''ve been getting into RSpec recently and I must say what a fantastic product I think it is. But, I''ve hit a bit of a problem. In my ApplicationHelper I have a method which changes the view_paths in a controller so a partial can be rendered from a different base directory. It simply takes an array of view_paths that a partial could be in, updates the view_paths for the controller doing the initial rendering, does the rendering, then removes the paths at the end. Here''s...

...multiple controller view paths recently. My original patch attempt was: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/8582 It was rejected due to the fact that it was fixing the symptom more than the problem. However, I think it''s critical that this problem get fixed, otherwise the whole concept of view_paths is severely neutered and doesn''t even live up to the use case advertised in the announcement on the official blog (ie. productization). The way view_paths currently work is only suitable as a sort of half-measure towards providing Engines functionality. That''s a worthy goal, but...

Now that controllers can have multiple view paths I''ve been playing with themes over the weekend. Running into a view issues. I have a before_filter in the ApplicationController that calls prepend_view_path to add the path of my theme. I even log the view_paths in an after_filter to make sure it made it all the way through. The output looks something like: /path/to/rails_project/themes/default/views:/path/to/rails_project/app/views Yet nothing loads. In the docs it says calling prepend_view_path as an instance method will only effect the current reque...

how to use view_paths() and why you need to use. What is the purpose. can you explain and give some sample code.

Hi All, I just had this problem come up today and so far I''m stumped. This morning, my mongrels were all completely unresponsive. I had to kill -9 them to get them to go away. I restarted them, but the first time that they were accessed they froze again. Nothing gets printed to the logs. I tried starting a single mongrel and accessing it directly. If I hit CTRL-C before accessing

I have two apps sharing a common model and lib. I''d like to share my plugins as well, however I noticed that the plugins_path in the Rails::Configuration (0.14.2) is not accessible as is view_path or log_path. What would be the best way to go about accomplishing this? Thanks. --Ryan

Guys, I''ve created a plugin, i wanna put my automated test there. However, I got bad file descriptor error when i run the test like normal unit test file: "ruby plugins/acts_as_fox/test/acts_as_fox_test.rb" How to test a plugin? Also, is it right to say that I should only put my unit tests (but not functional test for example) for the plugin in the plugin test folder?

Hi guys, I have a publisher called UserPublisher setup in models directory of my app. The reason I have it in a model is because its then possible for me to invoke publisher methods in after_callbacks of my other models, just the way we do it for ActionMailer. My problem is that when I try to update a users profile specifying location of the view template as a paramater to "profile"

...name || template, @assigns, template, e) ...which appears to have a few things wrong with it. First off, file_name is always absolute here - eg /Users/jon/ Developer/Stacker/app/views/kittens/index.rhtml. find_base_path_for is going to fail since it tries to append that path onto the path from @view_paths - typically /Users/jon/Developer/Stacker/app/views. So, find_base_path_for returns nil. I *think* what happens is that code inside template_error.rb later raises a second exception when it tries to use that path as a string and finds it''s nil, and that exception isn''t caught prop...

Hey, i am currently upgrading a Rails 2.1 app to 2.3 to benefit from Rails engines. The app requires rendering javascript updates to strings, which does not work with 2.3 anymore: data = ActionView::Base.new(Rails::Configuration.new.view_path).render(:update) do |page| page["div[id=''foo'']"].removeClass("bar") end whihc results in an error because the

In config/environment.rb it states: # See Rails::Configuration for more options See where exactly? I can''t find any docs for it, not at api.rubyonrails.com anyway. Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hey all, I''ve just "script/generate plugin my_plugin" and I would like to "overload" one of my view. Say I have app/views/sessions/new.html.erb and I would like to rewrite that file without touching it using the plugin. Any idea how to do this? I would also like to do the same thing with models and controllers of my application. I couldn''t find a tutorial

Hi, I have a long running task which generates JavaScript to files and I am hoping to move this to a backgroundrb worker. The javascript is currently generated with call to render_to_string: File.open(File.join(target_folder, ''all.js''), "w") do |file| file.puts(render_to_string :partial => ''partials/shared/javascript/tags'', :locals => {

Hey all, Here''s my situation: I have a pair of controllers with associated models (called Services and Testimonials) that are quite similar. Because their CRUD behavior is executed via AJAX, the "templates" for the actions are all short .rjs files. Now, because of the similarity of the models, most of the templates are exactly the same, with only the object names changed. That
