Hi, Just installed 0.9.4 (from 0.8 series) and ran the spec translator. It messed up specs that had the should include() where the argument to include is a string (using no parens for the arg) IOW, given: context "OldSchool" do class OldSchool attr_accessor collection def initialize @collection = [] end def add_new(item)

Brandon, can you get your Helpers to work in rspec 0.7 ? I''m including them in the context but the render fails to see it. If you have it working, I''ll go back and bang my head against it some more, otherwise I''ll file a bug! Many thanks, Jerry context "account/login (view)" do include StandardHelpers specify ''displays title

Hi, New to Rails and the list. Quick questions regarding has_many relationships that require at least 1 child. I''m aware of validate_size_of and use this to make sure that the parent is not saved without at least one child. Question is, is there some Rails magic to help when removing children to ensure the last one is not removed? Currently I''m calling something like this in my

I am currently using acts_as_ferret to search on a Posts table (title and content fields). These posts also have tags (with has_many :tags, :through => :questions_tags). I can''t figure out how to get acts_as_ferret to work with that relationship and allow searching of title, content, And tags at the same time (with the ability to set boost as well). Can this be done? -- Posted via

Hi Christos, I''ve seen you message in the mailing list archive and I''m trying to achieve the same behaviour. Did you progress in your knowledge of the problem this you last posted? It seems the mailing list hasn''t been that helpful to you. Maybe we can work out a solution by us two. Cheers, gilles

Hi Railers! I''m building a new website for our bar-foos-league (league for foosball players who play in bars in Zurich, Switzerland ;-) Being a bit of a noob when it comes to rails and web development in general, I''ve come across a few questions. One concerns sorting of a has_many relationship, for instance. I''ve got a League model, which has_many TeamConfigs

Hi, I've been working on a patch for dovecot 1.2 from the Kolab branch (http://hg.intevation.org/kolab/dovecot-1.2_kolab-branch/) that implements listing of shared namespaces. I've got something that works in some basic way but is still missing some pieces. See the attached patch, which also contains some installation and configuration notes.

Hello folks! Beare with me for a second, while I explain my problem. Assuming we have the trivial model of class Author has_many :books end class Book end How do people go about creating the authors/edit and authors/new views if you want to be able to add and remove arbitrary amount of Books at Author creation and edit time? What I mean by this is that I go to

Hi! I just started using RSpec and have some question that I couldn''t find answers to. If I have a result that can have two valid values, is there a better way of writing the following assertion? [value1,value2].should_include actual Is there a more elegant way of performing should_satisfy on a collection, for example I currently use something like collection.each {|x|

I have an Order model with a ''status'' column. What I want to be able to do is validate that the status of the Order is not completed before it is allowed to be deleted. I tried the following method in my Model, but it appears that this only works for an :update or :create on the record. Anyone know how to do this, and if it should be in the model or the controller?

Hi all, I have an array of shipping_type''s being returned, and I want to see what is in there. In the past I have done: shipping_type.include?(Cart::SHIPPING_TYPE_REGULAR).should be_true This works, but looks really ugly.. It just doesn''t roll of the tongue very well. I then looked up the use of Predicates, which I had been using, but hadn''t realized:

Hi All, Is there a way to filter / modify the output of a model class before it''s returned to controller/view that''s calling it?

Hi, I have the following situation: class Article < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :readings has_many :users, :through => :readings end class Reading < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :article belongs_to :user end Now what I''m trying to do is: article = Article.new article.save! # user ids 1,2,3 exist in database, as does the article article.user_ids = [ 1, 2, 3 ] But I

I''m sure there''s something right under my nose that I''m missing. I have two tables with two parallel one-to-many relationships. I wish to use the :finder_sql parameter to essentially ''or'' the two foreign keys. What isn''t working for me is performing a ''sub-search''. Let''s say the tables are "stores" and

I was wondering if it''s possible to some how control the :order given on a has_many depending on another attribute? Or do I need to just create multiple has_many relationships pointing to the same table but with different orders and then select which one I use in the controller instead? e.g class Category < AR::B has_many :products, :order => //something magical?// end

Hello, I am creating a gem in which I need to add a new has_many relationships: ... included do |base| base.has_many :foos end def some_method self.foos # end ...
