similar to: Tests for render when changing view_paths

Hi all, I''ve been playing in the trunk with putting stuff in different dirs to keep files from a reusable framework separate from the app files. Here are a few considerations regarding the view_paths setting: config.view_path is used to set both action_controller.view_paths and action_mailer.template_root. We get some buggy/unexpected behavior here because

how to use view_paths() and why you need to use. What is the purpose. can you explain and give some sample code.

I haven''t had a chance to work on fixing multiple controller view paths recently. My original patch attempt was: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/8582 It was rejected due to the fact that it was fixing the symptom more than the problem. However, I think it''s critical that this problem get fixed, otherwise the whole concept of view_paths is severely neutered and

Now that controllers can have multiple view paths I''ve been playing with themes over the weekend. Running into a view issues. I have a before_filter in the ApplicationController that calls prepend_view_path to add the path of my theme. I even log the view_paths in an after_filter to make sure it made it all the way through. The output looks something like:

I have an app that varies its content based upon the domain from which it is being accessed. Some of the domain characteristics are supported in the model but it is easier varying static text in the views and then sharing the form templates via partials etc. Rails 2.3.10 and looking at the documentation at

Hi All, I can''t seem to render a template outside of a controller in my Rails 3 application. The googling I''ve done has been helpful, and I eventually found some useful info at http://www.swombat.com/rails-rendering-templates-outside-of-a-contro. However, this seems to be broken in Rails 3. Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix this method or perhaps know of a better

Hi, it probably is a noob question but I''m confused by this error message: active_support/dependencies.rb:478:in `const_missing'': uninitialized constant Invoice::ApplicationController Situation: I have an InvoicesController with a create method that in turn calls upon a MiddleMan.worker(:billing_worker), which in turn finds an Invoice and calls upon @invoice.print_invoice

If a view file cannot be compiled (eg it has a block with a missing ''end'' statement), I''m experiencing WSODs - the browser reports a lost network connection, rather than the helpful compilation error that we used to have. When the compilation fails, ActionView#compile_template raises this error : TemplateError.new(find_base_path_for(file_name || template), file_name ||

Hi All, I just had this problem come up today and so far I''m stumped. This morning, my mongrels were all completely unresponsive. I had to kill -9 them to get them to go away. I restarted them, but the first time that they were accessed they froze again. Nothing gets printed to the logs. I tried starting a single mongrel and accessing it directly. If I hit CTRL-C before accessing

Hi Ezra, Thanks for the great work on BackgrounDRb. I have come across a couple of problems. 1. I wanted to define a simple class in the worker file to wrap up and pass back some data to my controller. It seems that if I create the class either inside or outside of my worker class (in the same file) it gets wrapper by a DRb::DRbUknown object and therefore cannot be accessed from my controller.

This largely copies the code from modesetting with minor adjustments. Signed-off-by: Ilia Mirkin <imirkin at alum.mit.edu> --- I've tried privately to get people to test this out, but to no avail. I don't have the hardware to verify this one way or the other. Ideally with this patch you should be (a) able to use a tiled monitor at 60hz with DP-MST and (b) be able to see connectors

When working with views, I use instance methods of ApplicationHelper: # app/helpers/application_helper.rb: module ApplicationHelper def distribute(total, min, cutof, list) [1,2,3] end end # app/views/planner/_mta_colors.rhtml: <td> <% ... dist = distribute(total_v_px, 4, 0, colors.collect{|color| color[1]}) ... %> So to test the distribute method in ApplicationHelper, I have

Guys, I''ve created a plugin, i wanna put my automated test there. However, I got bad file descriptor error when i run the test like normal unit test file: "ruby plugins/acts_as_fox/test/acts_as_fox_test.rb" How to test a plugin? Also, is it right to say that I should only put my unit tests (but not functional test for example) for the plugin in the plugin test folder?

This largely copies the code from modesetting with minor adjustments. Signed-off-by: Ilia Mirkin <imirkin at alum.mit.edu> --- I've tested this back and forth with a GTX 960 + 2x U2415 monitors, chained to each other. I turned them on/off. I messed with their DP 1.1/1.2 settings. I pulled plugs a few times. This seems to pass the test. No crashes, the connectors seem to come and go

fcgi_watch is a supplement to (or replacement for) <rails_app>/script/process/reaper. The standard reaper script searches for all processes started with a given pathname using the output from a ps command, and performs an action on them. There are problems with this approach, at least on some shared servers: - The pathname seen from a script is not necessarily the same as the

Hiall, When I try to run script/console from a windows command line like f:\rails_app\ruby script\console I get the following error: F:/Programme/Ruby-1.8.4/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require__'': no such file to load -- initializer (LoadError) from F:/Programme/Ruby-1.8.4/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require''

Hi guys, I have a publisher called UserPublisher setup in models directory of my app. The reason I have it in a model is because its then possible for me to invoke publisher methods in after_callbacks of my other models, just the way we do it for ActionMailer. My problem is that when I try to update a users profile specifying location of the view template as a paramater to "profile"

I am a little confused by the includes I suspect. In the book, it states that runtime environment will load the directories app, app/models, app/controllers, app/helpers, app/apis, components, config, lib, vendor and vendor/rails/*. However, when I try to access my "current_project" public method, it fails with a NoMethodError. What is even stranger is that I can use reflection to find

I have two apps sharing a common model and lib. I''d like to share my plugins as well, however I noticed that the plugins_path in the Rails::Configuration (0.14.2) is not accessible as is view_path or log_path. What would be the best way to go about accomplishing this? Thanks. --Ryan
