Hi all, I know that in general, view and controller tests should be isolated, such that controller specs don''t test views etc. However, I think I''ve run into a situation that might be an exception. My controller uses render_to_string to produce a chunk of HTML that it passes to a model to be processed. The controller then redirects the user to a different page. The

I''m using render_to_string in an after_filter, which renders a partial that is sent to a web service. Here''s the code: class MyController < ApplicationController after_filter :post_to_webservice def show # show logic end def post_to_webservice stuff = render_to_string :partial => ''stuff'' webservice_post(stuff) end I get a DoubleRenderError in the

I have a batch job that will call script/runner, I would like in this call to create html formated email and save it to the database. This is easy enough in a controller with yournewhost.email = render_to_string :action => "email_newhost_ready", :layout => false But render_to_string is only available in controller action pack, is there a easy way to render_to_string in a Model? Or

Hi, I am trying to generate a PDF from within a worker using PDF::Writer.

Hello, my question is rails related though it is also somewhat specific to the prawnto plugin (installed latest version as of 2010-03-15). I would ask on a prawnto forum/list if I knew where one was. Anyhow, I''m using rails 2.3.5 (with ruby 1.8.6 patchlevel 111) in an app that is successfully using the prawnto gem (with the prawn gem version 0.7.1). I''ve got a a

Hi I`m trying to test my controller with rspec and always get an error. The error is in the render_to_string method call (without it test works fine). So could u please help me with that? users_controller.rb: def update @user.update_attributes!(params[:user]) redirect_to @user, :status => 202, :text => render_to_string(:partial => "users/show", :type =>

I''m playing around with a list of todos, which I want to render as <ul>''s that can nest to an arbitrary level, so I wrote this as a helper method: def print_todo(t) str = "<ul>\n\t<li>" str += render_to_string(:partial => ''todo'', :object => t) + "\n" t.children.each { |c| str +=

I''m trying to test that "static" pages (they''re ERB, but get cached), generated through rails, don''t render any stray flash notices left over by the authentication system (Devise) or wherever else. I''ve tried writing this controller spec, but it appears that response.body only renders the template, not its layouts? describe "so that static

I''m not sure how much test data I should be using in my specs. I''m writing specs for the Property model in my Rails app. Its "address" attribute is going to be validated with this regex: /\A\d+[a-z]? [-'', a-z]{2,128}\Z/i At the moment, my plan is to spec out the following possibilities. A property is invalid if its address: 1) doesn''t begin with

How can I call render_to_string outside of a controller. I''m stuck on this. I''ve nearly got my plugin finished but I can''t seem to get this to work. The method is in ActionController::Base but it is protected. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi guys. I''m setting an expectation on a class method. For some reason, the method isn''t being stubbed, and the expectation isn''t seeing the call. In KeywordListsController#create, I call the private method #create_keywords_and_associate, which calls AdSenseHeavenParser#parse . Thus, some of my specs set an expectation on AdSenseHeavenParser#parse . However, that

Just for collective knowledge as I have found no info on this problem online: I solved this by adding an .html.erb file for the "missing template", since by design or bug Rails3 will not find or render another controllers view (in my experience). Then in the new html.erb file, I just put <%= render "comparisons/display" %> because the views *are* able to find templates

Is it possible to call render_to_string() in a controller that is not set as the default route? The content controller is set in routes.rb: map.connect '''', :controller => "content". The content controller is calling a template controller, and I would like to be able to call render_to_string() within the template controller, however I receive the error:

I use render_to_string to generate short reports (in HTML) under certain conditions when users access my application. The reports are stored in the database and uses database information at the time they are generated (and can thus not be generated later, e.g; when you want to consult them). The reports are generated the same way regardless of which controller has been accessed. Conditions for

I have a project where I''m publishing files. Once when the user clicks publish via a URL and one when an email is received that tells the app they want to publish again. Because the publishing requires templates I have them in there own views. The problem is when I want to publish via email I don''t want to ask the controller to render the views. This is what I tried to

Hi, I''m trying to execute some javascript in the browser after completing my create action in the controller.

Hi, I''m developing a dashboard like page and basically want to combine the result of multiple actions on a page. I''ve done this so far: def index r1 = render_to_string :action => "action1" r2 = render_to_string :action => "action2" render :text => r1+r2 end This works, but now I want to render from other controllers and this is where

Hi, I''m trying to build a simple mechanism for pre-caching a bunch of files by iterating over a hash of options from within a controller: #site.controller: for options in [ { :controller => "site", :action => "welcome" }, { :controller => "site", :action => "about" }, { :controller => "site", :action
