similar to: rspec and set_table_name?

Hi all, I just hit a big wall involving a legacy database. I''ve got an active record class called "School" that uses "set_table_name ''old_school''" to map to a legacy database table: class School < ActiveRecord::Base set_table_name ''old_school'' end It works great, until I''m testing and I want to use fixtures.

How can I pass something to set_table_name so that I can switch tables on the fly for accessing archive data? If I could access sessions inside a model I would do something like: if @session[:current_period] set_table_name "statistics_" + @session[:archive_year] else set_table_name "statistics_" + Date.now.year end But since I cannot access the session from within a

Hi all, I''m running Rails on top of a Mongrel cluster. I have several model classes that are going to have so many records it is not feasible to keep them all in the same table. So I''ve split out the records into many different tables, each with its own suffix which corresponds to the id of the model to which all records in that particular table belong. For example,

Hello all, I''m having some issues with my test fixtures and unit tests and am hoping somebody has an idea about how to fix it.

I have some legacy tables that I used set_table_name on, I''m attempting to write a method that will get key value from a sequence table and then update it and return a value. I''m hoping to put this in the base ActiveRecord method so I would like to reference the table name with self.table_name or something... class Contacts < ActiveRecord::Base set_table_name

Hello, i have a problem with autoloading model classes. I have had similar problems before when a file''s name in Rails'' opinion did not match with the name of the class defined inside, but eventually everything worked, so i didn''t look into details. This time the problem comes from running Unit Tests and does not want to go away. I have a model class KnownIP defined in

Hi, Is there any reason why it would be a bad idea to include the database name, ie: set_table_name ''database.tablename'' in my models? We have legacy tables spread across several databases in MySQL and we use separate base classes for each which have their own establish_connection''s to ensure they connect to the correct database. The problem with this is that

Hi there I''m in the process of developing an e-commerce Rails app but am getting a little stuck on what models I should be working with on the order/checkout side of things.

Hello. I am a newbie with BDD. I am trying to use RSpec with some legacy tables and I use the set_table_name method in the models. The name of the table and the class doesn´t match. It seems that there is no problem to load the fixture in Test::Unit, I will use the method set_fixture_class before loading fixtures, and I will get to the data in the fixture without problems. But this doesn´t seem

Hi there Has anyone out there embarked on credit card processing in a Rails app through Australian gateways such as eway?

Sorry to be such a pest but I am trying to learn Ruby, Rails and RSpec all at one go and it is a bit overwhelming. I have previously completed the depot tutorial in the Agile Web Dev with rails book and now I am trying do do it again using RSpec. What I would like to know now is why I am getting a rake failure error at the end of every spec:models run. Is this the expected behaviour when a test

So, I sat down to use set_fixture_class, and it bombed on the first thing I tried: set_fixture_class :content_drafts => "Article::Draft" I made a quick patch, and I''d appreciate a quick run through your tests to make sure it doesn''t disturb anything: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/4095 As I was typing this, I realized that the string gives us no benefits.
