...numbered (8-10) rather than the (1-3) I expected. (The table of contents in the left hand margin has the correct (1-3) numbering.) Is this a bug, or some strange functionality I don''t understand. (And is there a better place than this list to raise Hieraki issues?)

...9;'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). Then *unpatch* your Ruby 1.8.2 system and try running the unit tests. If I hear good reports, I will go ahead and create an official new release for rake. -- -- Jim Weirich jim-Fxty1mrVU9GlFc2d6oM/ew@public.gmane.org http://onestepback.org ----------------------------------------------------------------- "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it." -- Donald Knuth (in a memo to Peter van Emde Boas)

...the interaction. In the case of singularities glm() displays "NA" for the corresponding coefficients. However, svyglm() aborts with an error message. Is there a possibility that svyglm() provides output for coefficients without singularities like glm()? Thank you very much, Sebastian Weirich -- Sebastian Weirich, Dipl.-Psych.

I''m using Jim Weirich''s Builder library. The code I want to spec is xml.video do xml.id @video_id xml.views @views xml.date(@date.to_s) if @date end I''d like to mock it, rather than asserting that the XML is the right string. I can do one spec: specify "should crea...

Hey everyone, I just wanted to drop onto the list and say hi. My name is Chad Humphries and I am a partner at a ruby and rails shop in Columbus, OH called EdgeCase. Up until two months ago we were doing all of our dev work in test:unit. I had read about RSpec before and after hearing Jim Weirich speak at the Columbus Ruby Brigade about similar ideas I decided to give it a go for a personal project. Finally a framework that works the way I think for testing! I quickly used my advanced powers of peer pressure to get Joe, Ken and Aaron at the office to look at it. We are now doing...

FYI - Jim Weirich just released an rspec-compatible version of FlexMock. For those of you using trunk, you can now use either FlexMock, Mocha, or RSpec''s built-in mocking framework by saying: Spec::Runner.configure do |config| config.mock_with :flexmock # or :mocha or :rspec (default) end The choice is...

Hello, svyvar from the survey package computes variances (with standard errors) from survey design objects. Is there any way to compute standard deviations and their standard errors in a similar manner? Thanks a lot, Sebastian

Hi Just wrote myself a Date.extract_from_rails_hash to handle parsing the "date(1i)", "date(2i)" parameters created in the controller params. I''ve got a method that needs to call this either once or twice, depending on the contents of the form (one section of the form is rendered conditionally). So I had two specs for the case where the second form section

...cal mass of folks, and all the more experience to share. -------------------- Who''s Involved? -------------------- By attending The Rails Edge, you''ll spend 3 days learning from folks you probably already know from the Rails/Ruby communities: * Dave Thomas * Chad Fowler * Jim Weirich * Marcel Molina Jr. * Bruce Williams * Stuart Halloway * Justin Gehtland * James Duncan Davidson * Mike Clark These folks participate in all the sessions, with one or two people actually leading each session. That way, everyone is on hand to help answer questions and share their experiences....

Judging from registration numbers, there''s a healthy interest in the event... BUT WE WANT AN UNHEALTHY IN...

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.

How would you spec a DSL which descends from Jim Weirich''s Blank Slate? I''m asking this question because I have written a DSL, and would like to have the DSL class descend from BlankSlate so that methods like == are not available in the DSL itself (in production), but only while Testing. Does any one have any insight on this? I...

...anges since 0.9 beta-1: * Made Spec::Ui *much* easier to install. It will be released separately. Check out trunk/spec_ui/examples * HTML reports now include a syntax highlighted snippet of the source code where the spec failed (needs the syntax gem) * Added [#9735] support flexmock (thanks to Jim Weirich for his modifications to flexmock to support this) * Spec::Rails controller specs will no longer let mock exception ripple through to the response. * Fixed [#9260] IvarProxy does not act like a hash. * Applied [#9458] The rspec_resource generator does not take into account class nesting (Patch from...

I try the following command: gem cleanup and I get this: C:\Ruby\bin>"c:\Ruby\bin\ruby.exe" "c:\Ruby\bin\gem" cleanup ERROR: While executing gem ... (RuntimeError) Unknown command cleanup Even if I try: gem cleanup rails I get the same thing. Anyone know what I am doing wrong? Thanks, Chad

...e are getting close to sold out, so help us push this thing over the top! This year we have more (and better!) presentations, including a keynote presentation by the person who IMO really started all the fuss with Ruby and Rails, Dave Thomas. We also have a bunch of quality speakers including Jim Weirich, Brian Sam-Bodden, Joe O''Brien, Jeremy McAnally, Gregg Pollack, Glenn Vanderburg, Neal Ford, Andrea O.K.Wright, Jeff Barr, Kyle Banker, Corey Donohoe, Nick Sieger, Nathanial Talbott, Jon Larkowski, Aman Gupta, David Bock, and Joe Damato. And we have lots of great local speakers, like Paul...

...be entertained, amazed, and have fun. Proposals containing marketing-based content will be sniffed out and booted! Submit as many proposals as you want. More than one helps you get selected because we sometimes get similar talks from different people. If you only submit one, and it duplicates Jim Weirich’s keynote then your chances are slim. Panels or multi-presenter proposals are fine. Speakers will receive free admission to the conference and the speakers party/dinner the night before RubyNation, and the opportunity to address a large audience of talented and influential Rubyists! We plan to vid...

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
