hypothetical question for all you BDD experts: I want to make sure that a :list action always returns widgets in alphabetical order. There''s at least 2 ways of doing this: it "should fetch items in alphabetical order" do Widget.should_receive(:find).with(:order => "name ASC") get :list end it "should fetch items in alphabetical order" do [:red,

I''m trying to write specs for a plugin I''m developing named audit_fu, and I''m running into a problem which I can''t get past it. I''ve got the same specs setup in the main rails app, and everything works fine there, it''s just running the plugin specs that I''m having a problem with. My setup is: - edge rails - edge rspec (in

I''m looking to drive the development of a rails app that does nothing but serve a JSON API. All of the models are well tested elsewhere, so I needn''t worry about that. My only immediate goal is to be able to fire off requests to a path and check the returned JSON. I''ve tried a number of methods for this today, without being particularly enthused about any of them. I

Hi, I posted this message on the StatET-user board last week, but it looks like a ghost-town... I have a bad feeling that there is some code in the plug-in which doesn't work well with my environment, but if I am lucky, maybe other users have worked around this problem somehow - I am hoping that my setup is the issue. Note: very similar StatET setups on 32-bit XP Pro and Vista run

I''m working on some schema for a new project that we''ll be doing in rails (our first rails project!). A recurring structure we are seeing is the desire to define an ordering any way we wish, so ''acts_as_list'' comes to the rescue. But, the ''position'' column seems to need to belong in the join table to make sense. For example, we have

Hi, I'm trying to use StatEt IDE for Eclipse as my R editor, but I'm completely lost. I've read all I could find online, made apparently all I had to do (installing rj, configuraing StatEt, etc.) but still cannot make R running. Below is the error log file. Thank you so much for assistance. Matteo !ENTRY de.walware.statet.r.console.ui 1 0 2011-12-05 16:21:51.355 !MESSAGE

Hi, looking to see if I''m on the right track here... we''re selling widgets to customers, but there are a number of different type of widgets and each different type of widget has a number of parameters that the customer can specify, in effect each customer orders widget''s customised in ways particular to that specific order. We use STI to store each different widget

Hi, I want to know if my idea is possible within the rails framework. I want to write a rails app that uses the same code to manage two classes of widgets; "wired widgets" and "wireless widgets". For the most part, all the code to manage these two classes of widgets will be identical. The only differing part are some of the underlying field names in each respective db table

Given the following.. Foo has_many :bars Bar has_many ::widgets Widget has_many :gadgets Gadget has_many :parts All of the following are now possible... @foo.bars @bar.widgets @part.gadget.widget.bar.foo However, I can''t just do the opposite of that last one... @foo.bars.widgets.gadgets.parts and get a full list of every Part associated with @foo. I know there''s several

This is more an architectural question.... I am looking to create a domain that sells widgets (as an example) widgets.com Now I have three sales reps, that each sell different kinds of widgets, and do not need to know about each other. larry.widget.com moe.widget.com curley.widget.com I don''t want to repeat myself (of course!) with the shopping cart logic or the transactional

Hi All... I?m trying to build a small demo using gWidgets which permits interactive scaling and selection among different things to plot. I can get the widgets for scaling to work just fine. I am using gcheckboxgroup to make the (possibly multiple) selections. However, I can?t seem to figure out how to properly define the gcheckboxgroup; I can draw the widget properly, I think my handler would

I have a layout in gwidgets. To this, I wanted to add a Textbox(gtkEntry) created from rgtk2... The code is as follows: MainLayOut <- glayout(homogeneous = FALSE, spacing = 10, container = SubGroup) MainLayOut[1, 1, anchor=left] <- "Number of Total Patients: " font(MainLayOut[1, 1, anchor=left]) <- c(weight="bold") patients <- gtkEntry()

Hello, Following a discussion initiated on r-devel, that mentions SciViews-R and other GUIs issues for R, I would like to make comments (and would be happy if these comments would initiate interesting initiatives). A big, big problem with SciViews-R is that a part of it is written in Visual Basic 6, a M$$$$ language, not supported any more, buggy, non transposable to other platforms, etc,

Here''s my crazy question of the day. Has anybody played around with using Rails to create Mac OS X Dashboard Widgets? Or is that just sick and wrong? Giles

Dear DevelopeRs, I've been struggling with the new regulations regarding modifications to the search path, regarding my Rcmdr plugin package RcmdrPlugin.DoE. John Fox made Rcmdr comply with the new policy by removing the environment RcmdrEnv from the search path. For the time being, he developed an option that allows users to put the environment from Rcmdr (RcmdrEnv) on the search path,

Hi everyone - sorry if this is a bit OT, I''m not subscribed to the ''ruby-talk'' list, but if anyone wants to cross post this over there... This is just a quick announcement to let people know that I''ve built a basic RDoc Dashboard widget for Mac OS X Tiger. It''s still beta-ish, but seems to work okay for me - and it''s a convenient reference

Greetings all, I have a side panel in my app that needs to have a link to the most recent 4 or 5 items in a table. How do I create this link? For example, I have a controller named widgets, and I want to create a link to :controller => "widgets", :action => "show", and then the most recent id. I want the text link to be the name of the widget. Any ideas? Obviously,

Trying to set up a Rails 3 project with RSpec and Autotest. I followed these steps exactly: http://gist.github.com/365816 But when I start up autotest, I get: $ autotest loading autotest/rails style: Rails instead of: $ autotest loading autotest/rails_rspec2 style: RailsRspec2 And autotest doesn''t seem to do anything. Any idea what''s happening? I''m using Ruby
