similar to: x-post : find_or_initialize_by ActiveRecord bug? Ignores :conditions

Hello all, I just ran into something that I think is a bug, and I would like to confirm with the core team whether this is expected/desired behavior or if this is a bug that I should file and develop failing tests for (I doubt I have the active record method_missing fu to actually patch it). Test Scenario: I would like to find or initialize a new user and base the find on the users email

Hey guys, Lets say I have the following nested resources: map.resource artists do |artists| map.resource songs end To create a new song, the url would be: /artists/:artist_id/songs/:song_id However, lets say that an artist doesn''t exist yet. I only want to create an artist if a new song by the artist is successfully saved. I am retrieving the artist using something like: @artist

I can not seem to make finders work with aliases. My goal is to map some fugly field names to nice field names and have the finders work with the nice field names. An example. class Users < ActiveRecord::Base alias :password :UserPWD end This doesn''t seem to work because obviously the object doesn''t have a method called UserPWD. What is the best way (short of a view) to

Hi all I''m having an authorization method that looks like the following: def user_requests_authorization_to(right_name) ... end I find it boring to always use user_requests_authorization_to(''EDIT'') user_requests_authorization_to(''CREATE'') etc., so I thought I could implement my own dynamic method, like the dynamic finders! Instead of the calls

Hi All! It''s been a while since I had to ask for help, but I''m back! I''ve finished beta testing my big app and started the transition to production. Everything went fine and the production version was working till I was asked to add another model :-( (Almost a year of beta testing and they only come up with it after moving to production :-D ) I successfully

Hello everyone, I have another question related to a legacy schema I am working with. Do dynamic finders work with legacy schemas in general? The schema I am working with uses hungarian prefixes for column names. For example fOpen is 0 if a bug is closed and 1 if it is open (type smallint). When I try @bugs = Bug.find_all_by_fOpen(1), I get the following exception: undefined method

I have some finders in my models where I write some of the sql myself. I of course want to test these, but am not sure the best way. Should I just let them roll through to the db, and verify they return the correct objects based on the fixtures I load, or should I spec the actual query? I know that DB access is sort of frowned upon, but is this a situation where it is more or less acceptable? My

Hi, I have a model (let''s say User) and I would like to add any number of user-defined-settings to this Model. I created a UserSetting Model with user_id, key and value. I connected them with has_many. I know how to access these properties from a user but I would like some methods like user.hasProperty? / user.getProperty ... I think I know how to write these methods/finders myself but

So I''ve just started working on a rails project which currently has something like 7500 LOC. All of the tests are written in Test::Unit, although the test coverage is pretty poor: rcov says that 25% of the code is covered, while rake stats shows the code to test ratio as 1:0.1 (800 lines of test code). I guess I''m wondering what would generally be advisable here. Is it

I have an original_at column in my photos table. I''d like to get a list of distinct years that occur in this column, and some of the values are NULL. I see two ways of doing this. The SQLish way: photos = Photo.find :all, :select => ''distinct year(original_at)'' This is efficient in that it utilizes the database to do the filtering, and the code is not too ugly.

I'm using RC15 on Solaris 9. The wiki indicates that when a dovecot-shared file exists, "Dovecot uses the same permissions and GID when it creates index files, dovecot-uidlist file, new mail files, etc." In my case, Dovecot *is* creating new index files based on dovecot-shared, but dovecot-uidlist and individual message files don't completely match the permissions/group

The latest updates to CentOS 5.5 seem to have broken the Java plugin, and have defeated any and all attempts to get it working again. I'm running CentOS 5.5 (32-bit) and Firefox 3.6.9 (installed from the CentOS repository); I've tried BOTH the openJDK plugin available through the Argeo repositories, and installing Java 1.6.0 directly from Sun/Oracle and creating the plugin soft link in

Is there any sort of dynamic finder for polymorphic associations? For example if I had: class InviteNode < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :inviteable, :polymorphic => true end I would like to be able to search by: InviteNode.find_by_inviteable(some_object) instead of having to do: InviteNode.find_by_inviteable_id_and_inviteable_type(some_object.id, some_object.class.name) obviously I

For example: I create an object c. Now, if I call c.xxx, ruby just raise an exception ''method missing'' But, I want it return nil, for each method which is not pre-defined.

Hi all, I came accross the following problem lately: I got a table with several BLOB fields (Oracle DB) and I have ActiveRecord reading those fields whenever records are loaded using finder methods. This behavior is just fine in 99.9% of the time, but considering BLOB data is not small, it is considerably slowing down search access :(. So basically, I thought about building a :has_one
