similar to: RSpec and simply_helpful

Does anyone have view specs running on edge with simply_helpful? I tried http://blog.methodmissing.com/2006/11/23/using-simply_helpful-with-rspec-controller-tests/but it seems that was written for pre-9 versions. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi All I just finished writing up a tutorial relating my experience developing a system to edit line-items ''in-line'' in my Rails application using XMLHttpRequest. I thought this might be of interest to some readers of this list... Check it out at http://hieraki.goodlad.ca/read/book/1 Thanks!

Hi all I am trying to get VMX guests working on my new server here. The machine has a Pentium D 920 on an ASUS P5WD2-E motherboard. I''ve updated the BIOS to the latest 0401, which added the virtualization option. I am running a fresh installation of Gentoo (64-bit). When I try and run ''xm create'' on a vmx config file, I get the following error: Error: Error

Hi All I''m working on converting some existing controller specs to use mocks and stubs rather than real ActiveRecord objects in a Rails project. In one of my controller actions, I use a database transaction. So, the obvious thing to do is have this in my setup block: Project.stub!(:transaction) Firstly, is there an easy way to have that stub yield to the block passed to any

Has anyone tried using erb and builder in the same file? Either .rxml or .rhtml? I''m wanting to do some think like the following: xml.div(''id''=>''menu'') {|xml| link_to "create race", :controller=>"derby", :action=>"new" } Thanks, -- Tom. -- "Nothing will ever be attempted, if all possible objections must

Hi, I am relatively new to Rails and I can''t get the following to work: what I am trying to do is to make the first item of a list to flash: var item = $(''items'').firstChild; new Effect.Highlight(item); I get the this Javascript error message: this._base has no child (effects.js, line 445) But I am able to do this without any problems: var item =

Hi all I''ve started using some of the scriptaculous effects here, and have noticed something weird. Whenever I use one of the effects, it causes many of the fonts on the same page to rendered with a lighter weight (ie: "less bold"). Has anyone else noticed a similar effect in Firefox? I use 1.5b1 on Mac. This seems to be a common bug in moz-based browsers, as Camino does

Hi All I am just adding some basic e-mail notices to my Rails app using ActionMailer, and have one small issue. I want to provide a confirmation URL to users who sign up for an account. I can obviously just hardcode the URL and append the confirmation code to it, but I''d much rather be able to use something like: url_for(:controller => ''authentication'', :action

I vote for spec''ing. Anybody else?

For the longest time PartialRenderer#partial_path has prefixed the prefix of the current controller when it is nested in a module. This hasn''t been a problem (because nesting controllers wasn''t that common) but with 3.1 striving for better engine support, this problem is now larger because all of your controllers for an engine will be nested and it makes doing <%= render

Hi, Here''s two blog posts for those that need to test respond_to blocks and/or are currently using simply_helpful extensively. http://blog.methodmissing.com/2006/11/22/testing-different-content- types-with-rspec http://blog.methodmissing.com/2006/11/23/using-simply_helpful-with- rspec-controller-tests - Lourens

Hi everyone I''m building an app in which quite a bit of data is dependant on dates (and times), and I have logic that depends on when ''today'' is. I''m trying to get some better functional tests written, and am unsure of the best way to approach it. The problem is that I want the tests to run against the same data every time, whether I run it on Tuesday or

In my RJS template this works: page.visual_effect :highlight, "test#{@test.id}", {:duration => 5} but not this: page.visual_effect :highlight, "test#{@test.id}", {:duration => 5, :startcolor => "#FFFFFF"} Am I misunderstanding how to pass in additional parameters? _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list

Hi all, Is there a way to invoke validations at times other than save, create and update? I know that I can do this by writing my own validation checks using errors.add_[blah], but I''d like to leverage the existing validation code. What I have is two sets of fields in a record, set A and set B. Both sets must be validated on record create. However, the trouble is that after

Hi, I want to use my some session data when I validate som data in the model. The specific problem I have is that I present different forms data based on gender, and then dependent of the gender, there''s different fields that needs validation. I''m wondering what''s the preffered way of doing this. The session data is not present in the model, i.e: class Myclass

I''m hand editing my .css and .rhtml files using SciTE and hitting refresh in my browser to see the results - its slow going. What tools are people using to author their .css and .rhtml files?

Suppose some environment variable (say MY_R_INC) has a number of paths. I want to source some file relative to some path in $MY_R_INC (just as #include in C++ does, which looks for header file in a number of directories). I RSiteSearch'ed, but I don't find any function that satisfies my need. Could somebody let me know if I overlooked something?

Hi all, my question is Does simply_helpful is ready for use with nested resources ? I''ve tried something like : # Routes.rb map.resources :projects do |projects| projects.resources :iterations end # edit.rhtml <% form_for(@project, @iteration) do |f| %> # => <form action="/projects/1/iterations/3;edit" method="post"> # new.html # =>

I have a piece of code that "waits" for body onload. Every 30ms, it tests $(''body''). Seems that isn''t always good enough. I''ve hit situations where the DOM is "partially" loaded somehow. I fixed matters by setting a global flag... <body onload="bodyLoaded=true;"> which provides a better test... of course I could
