similar to: Trying to test flash messaging with rspec

Just trying to implement a simple helper over the past few days had me really confused. messages = '''' messages << content_tag(:p, ''dave'') #=> &lt;p&gt;dave&lt;\p%;gt; Eventually I realised the original empty string was not html_safe message = ''''.html_safe message << content_tag(:p, ''dave'') #=>

The following code in my application_helper.rb class either eats the flash message or escapes it and does not display properly: # Outputs the corresponding flash message if any are set def flash_messages messages = [] %w(notice warning error).each do |msg| messages << content_tag(:div, content_tag(:p, html_escape(flash[msg.to_sym])), :class => "message

I''ve submitted a small patch to make Rails behave properly with the Erubis <%== %> construct. For some reason the current behaviour of that tag in Rails 3 is to escape the contents _twice_ which is probably a bug. I offer three suggestions why this is a good idea: - The syntax is cleaner. It can avoid a lot of .html_safe and raw in your views. I especially like the conciseness of

Hi, Can somebody update me on the state of html_safe strings in rails 2.3.8? I know rails 2.3.6 and 2.3.7 broke a lot of code because strings were being escaped when they shouldn''t have been and I thought this was all fixed in 2.3.8. I''m upgrading an app from 2.3.5 to 2.3.8 and there are many spots where previous code was output correctly and now it expects html_safe method

Hi RoR Community, in Ryan Bates Railscasts Episode #262 he put the index code <% for message in @messages %> <div class="message"> <div class="created_at"><%= message.created_at.strftime("%B %d, %Y") %></div> <div class="content"> <%= message.content %> </div> <div

Good day all. This is one of the most frustrating days I have had with Rails in quite some time now (almost 8 months actually). Yesterday I complete my development and testing and everything is peachy. I head home for the evening and do my things there. This morning, I come back in and do my typical morning routine of starting up eclipse and the usual "ruby script/server" command in

This seems very simple, but I can''t quite get it. Probably because I''m just starting out with RoR. My view has a slew of labels and text fields; many are "required": <%= f.text_field :screen_name %> <span class="required_field">Required field</span> (The "required_field" class turns the text red and smaller.) I''d like to

If a model doesn''t pass validation the field in the view is put under a <div class="field_with_errors">. But who create that div? field_text helper do it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. To post to this group, send email to

Hello, Trying to upgrade an app that was running fine in 3.0.3 to 3.0.9 and while everything works well, I get this error: ActionView::Template::Error (Cannot modify SafeBuffer in place): When passing a string to this function (in application_helper.rb) through a simple: <%= format_me(article[shortdesc])%> def format_me(text, html_options={}, options={}) text =

I have been trying for quite a while now to understand why is the flist.c:f_name() function implemented using static buffers. Anyone care to comment? The immediate problem is that any call to f_name overrides the previous content (well, obvious). This, combined with the fact that several function calls are made with the result of f_name(file) results in problems handling hardlinks - and

Hello everybody I''m having some problems with RSpec. 1) When using something like "I should see ''some text''" that text is set on a flash message in the controller and displayed by = flash[:notice] in the layout view, so the relevant part of my view says, in haml: .notice = flash[:notice] The rspec evaluation for that says: response.should

If you installed your copy of ruby via DarwinPorts, the hashbang lines at the top of your dispatch.* scripts says "#!/opt/local/bin/ruby".
