similar to: Does RSpec interfere with Pathname#dirname or Pathname#realpath ?

Hi, I''m struggling with something that seems to be simple, and I''ve not had any joy following the RSpec books suggestions (p. 187). I''d like to test that a method raises and error when a file is not found. I''ve tried adding this in my example just before I call my method, but it never seems to get invoked. Pathname.stub(:exist?).and_return(false) The whole

I want to work with both Rails 2 and Rails 3 projects. I have RVM installed.

Hi, I''d like to activate FakeFS for some scenarios, which I tag @fakefs, however it seems Before(''@fakefs'') runs before the background of the feature - unfortunately this clobbers Grit, and I can''t Grit::Repo.new(...) in the backbround. Is it currently possible to get a hook to run before a scenario, but not the Background of the feature? Or am I mistaken in

I''ve searched and search, tried a number of things like unstalling sqlite3 and reinstalling. Reinstalling Rails, building sqlite3 from source, etc. Nothing seems to work.

Hi there, I wanted to use RedCloth with my RubyOnRails 3 application, but it seems that RoR uses 1.9.2''s Psych by default as the YAML parser if available, and Psych fails to load the LaTeX entities file: ==================================================================== #ruby -v: ruby 1.9.2p136 (2010-12-25 revision 30365) [x86_64-linux] irb(main):001:0> Dir.pwd =>

Hi guys, I wanted to fetch some info from webpage and use it in my db. I read hpricot is one way to do it. But the problem is I''m unable to use it with my app. For some reason after successfully installing hpricot it fails when I try to use it in the rails console. I''ve been trying to fix this for the last four-five days. I''m stumped ! I tried re-installing everything

I''m loving playing around with the DSL. There are some problems (ie 5237), but now that it''s Ruby, I can fix them! woo! However, I''m stumped on this one, which may or may not be related to the DSL. When trying to have a resource have a simple dependency on two things at once, it simply fails, and I''m stumped as to why. The error message is: Parameter

Hi, I want so set a default url for ActionMailer. I know, ActionMailer::Base.default_url_options is deprecated, so I use config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => "localhost" } in my environments (test.rb, production.rb, ...). The problem is, I get a deprecation error and rails won''t start. I have no solution... Any hints for me? Testing started at

I want to run Rails on Apache. Is it possible? What should I do. I made some simple tests like build applications with Ruby 1.9.2 and after with 1.8.7. Rails on WEBrick set the tables and makes the models/ migrations

Dear List Members,I have 55 data frames, each of which with 272 variables and 267 observations. Some of these variables are blanks but the blanks are not the same for every data frame. I would like to write a procedure in which I import a data frame, see which variables are blank, and delete those variables. My data frames have variables named P1 to P136 and Q1 to Q136. I have a couple of

Hi, I''m switching the database of a rails 3 app I have developed from postgres to mysql so that I can avail of amazon''s rds.

What''s a good solution for fixing character encoding problems for compatibility between ascii and utf-8? The database is postgres and is encoded in utf-8. Once in awhile there will be a compatibility error from strings from a webform. Is there a command to fix this besides using a_string.force_encoding(''utf-8'')? Even this doesn''t seem to always work either.

Can anyone help with setting up my environment? This all started when I tried to install Aptana Studio 3, and want to use the debugger. I have installed ruby 1.9.2, and rails 3.1.0. When I try to install the ruby-debug-base gem, I get an error that does not make sense to me - it tells me it needs ruby version > 1.8.7. Here is the error message, along with other details. I am running this

ZOMG HAPPY TUESDAY (UTC-7)!!! <3<3<3<3<3 I am happy to announce that the first release candidate for Rails 3.0.6 has been pushed to rubygems.org. ## Release Candidate: What does it mean? The release candidate is very similar to what we will actually release for version 3.0.6. The reason that we release an RC is so that the community can have a chance to postpone or veto commits

I created a fresh new rails app, no gems, no nothing. Completely unmodified. Doing anything that initializes rails takes 2 - 3 times longer in ruby 1.9.1 than it does in 1.8.7. Obviously with a fresh rails app, this is only 2 - 3 seconds extra. But with a decent sized app, this can take up to 25 seconds for rails to initialize, vs the 12 seconds in 1.8.7. I''ve been racking my brain on

I am using the squeeze function but I am unable to set it such that I
