Not sure this is known behaviour but it seems that if want to set the environment to, for example, test, and you want to use Active Record you have to both explicitly set the RAILS_ENV and the BackgrounDRb environment. So, if you have a config file backgroundrb_test.yml (as well as the default) and set the environment to test in that, this is what *seems* to happen: $

I''m using a plugin which adds a method to ActiveRecord::Base http://similetimelinerailshelper.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/simile_timeline/ This adds an "acts_as" type declaration to the Models, via the file in vendor/plugins/simile_timeline/lib/simile_timeline.rb Rails is working with these declarations, and they are being used successfully in ''regular

Hello everybody: I am new and i have a small problem with ruby. I want to execute an external program and I need to pass as an argument to that program a file of the system. I''ve got that file in the public/files folder of my rails folder tree. How can I know the path to where I have my rails project? I thought this would be with RAILS_ROOT but this variable is

All, So I''ve discovered that when running on FastCGI with Apache and the working directory for the process is actually the "public" directory under RAILS_ROOT. Is there a way to force the current working directory to be RAILS_ROOT for the FastCGI procs so that file manipulation would then be done relative to RAILS_ROOT? Or should I just make sure that all of my paths are

I have a regular plain old static HTML file under my RAILS_ROOT that I would like to serve as itself (without any dynamic anything). How can I write a route to "pass the request through" succesfully. I tried map.connect ''path_to_file'', :controller => nil, :action => nil, :id => nil but that didn''t work. Also, note that I have this route

I''ve read that the newest versions of rails stores sessions in rails_root/tmp. I''ve been running off the trunk for about 3 months, but I still have all of my sessions stored in /tmp of the file system. What do I need to do to modify it so that my sessions are stored in my rails_root/tmp folder? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I am new over here and also a newbie for Ruby on Rails. I am working on a simple webapp for my band work. I have created a upload controller/model and database which allows to save my files in the directory at /public/dump/. Uploading works but I can''t retrieve it. I have tried several ways. The model uses DUMP_PATH = RAILS_ROOT + "/public/dump" to save the file. But

Why is RAILS_ROOT ''script/../config/../'', rather than say ''script/..'' or something even simpler? Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am just getting started with Rake. I am trying to create a rake task from within a rails plugin to copy some asset files (inside /assets in my plugin folder) to my rails application /public folder. How can I achieve this? I am not sure whether to use FileUtils or File. Where AM I in rake terms. No matter what I do it keeps saying it can''t find the file. Do I need to use File.join or is

I am having a weird error that I have not had before... I''m bouncing it off the list to see if anyone else has had it, or to give me some pointers about how to find it. Basically, AUTOTEST will run (RSpec mode), fine, then suddenly, will complain that RAILS_ROOT is undefined. Then I stop and restart it, with no code change... no problem. It happens on different specs where I use

Hi, Im writing a small ruby utility which at the moment is in /lib of my rails app. However I don''t get access to var''s like RAILS_ROOT, do I need to add an include to get this (and possibily other) rails functionality? Is /lib the right place for this kind of app, its a single ruby class which I call from the command line. Would a rake file be better for this kind of

I am wondering why this is: In Test/Unit I am iterating a directory so that I can require each of the files in the directory. When I call Dir.glob, the root is the Rails_root, however when I iterate the files I get an error if I use Rails root and must begin the included file''s path from within the test directory. This: integration/helpers/file.rb And not

I just replied to someone about using send_file and while I was testing my solution I figured out that the controllers "current working dir" appears to be the root of the app. Then I saw a reply that Ezra sent to someone where he used RAILS_ROOT and I thought "duh, I''ve seen that before... shoulda used that". But, when I had an action print out RAILS_ROOT

As this Caboose article [] suggests, I am not the only one who had this problem. RAILS_ROOT is a relative path on Windows, and it can bite you in unexpected ways. I had that problem while working on CruiseControl.rb. There is a trivial patch fixing it (by simply applying File.expand_path to the path before assigning it into the RAILS_ROOT constant): http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/7259 Best

Hi, Anyone suggest why when I try to run the console via ''ruby script/console'' I get the following "uninitialized constant RAILS_ROOT" ??

I also posted this on Rails Engines forum. Sorry for the double post. I am trying to configure file_column plugin so that it stores the images in a directory completely outside of RAILS_ROOT. I have no problems in storing the files by setting :root_path option. But I can''t get to display these images using ''url_for_file_column''. What I get instead of the image is

Hey, I''m using the attachment_fu plugin to upload images on the file system. To retrieve them I''m using: image = "/home/rajeev/Desktop/logo/logo/public#{icon.public_filename}" which is the same as: "/home/rajeev/Desktop/logo/logo/public/icons/0000/0005/green_nature_on_white.jpg" Have can i do this in a shorter way by using RAILS_ROOT?
