I had posted this on the regular Rails list, but upon trying this in script/console, it seems like the behavior only exists when running rspec. I''m getting some weird behavior in one of my models. I have a model defined something like this class User < ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessor :password validates_presence_of :password end If I validate the model without specifying a

Hello. I have lost the coloured output in autotest after updating to rspec v1.1.4 I was already using the edge version and was ok then, before the last update. Anyone knows something about this? Thank you. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, [This is a follow-up to the "New version of Rtools for Windows" thread in January, but I just subscribed and don't know how to reply to an old thread -- my apologies.] I was able to use the nuwen distro to build a gcc 4.9.2 toolchain and use it to build the latest R-patched with it. Below are some notes about what I did; I hope they will be useful for keeping Rtools

Trying the next release of rspec, I have had to make changes in the existing specs for routing. I have written an script with sed that makes this automatically (two files) spec/upgrade.sed ================ /route_for/s/id => 1/id => "1"/g /route_for.*create/s/== \(["''].*["'']\)/== {:path => \1, :method => :post}/ /route_for.*update/s/==

So, I''m personally cool with this change (patch from #5454, applied in [4596]), and I''ll make it work for Oracle tomorrow. But just wondering if folks considered the performance impact of the change? From a simple test it seems that BigDecimal math is about twice as slow as using Floats.

Hi all, Running on OSX 10.5.3, Latest Rspec trunk, Rspec rails trunk, latest autotest gem and rails 2.1 I''ve lost my colour output in autotest. rake spec gives colour output, but autotest gives me black and white. It was working a little bit before, I think I upgraded to the latest versions of everything to get all the textmate snippets talking and being friendly to one another again

Hi everyone, I''m new to Rails and Ruby, and have been working my way through the Pickaxe and Agile Rails books for the last week or so.

Financial calcs need high levels of accuracy and floats just don''t give you that. I know there are a bunch
