One problem I sort of always had with the ActiveRecord''s tight coupling to the SQL backend is how slow it makes the unit tests. OK, there are some ways to make it faster at a price of extra complexity (reusing the fixtures, doing a rollback in the end of the test, etc), but still - it is much slower than what I would like a unit test to be. Today I had a very simple idea (why, oh why

Hi all, Sorry if I should be posting this elsewhere--I couldn''t find an Instiki specific mailing list, but the Instiki site is down. I wanted to mention that my friend Tim Lauer and I are going to be doing a short "high order bit" talk at the O''Reilly Emerging Technologies conference, describing a particular use of Instiki which we came up with:

Dear all, If you thought Instiki was a dead project, you were right. Since I''ve got a day job that doesn''t suck (Official Ruby Zealot of ThoughtWorks Canada), my motivation to do open source greatly sufferred :) But... but... but! Here is Instiki 0.11.0, and in this version Instiki is (finally!) moving to ActiveRecord backend and (finally!) has the File Upload feature.

Hi, I have this scenario. I have the full path of a page stored in the database (column ''path''). I want to be able to have very short urls for retrieving the pages, so i have this route in my map map.connect ''-/:title'', :controller => ''page'', :action => ''view_by_title'', :title => nil so when I go to

Howdy - Someone''s probably already reported this, but anyhow, going here: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/RailsOnFedora results in: ==================== > Bad Gateway > The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. > ==================== Yours, Tom

Hi all, Following the recent release of Instiki-AR beta, I haven''t had a lot of bug reports or other feedback. This could mean one of the two things. Either nobody is using it, or some people are, and have no problems at all. One thing for sure is that it''s certainly getting downloaded (20 times a day, as it were)! I''d like to know which way is it. So, if you are

Hello, my name is Magnus and I am a RoR-newbie. I am trying to get the grip of ActiveRecord but I am having trouble to find good examples. I have been looking at this: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/AccessControlListExample Where you can find this Model code: require ''active_record'' class Permission < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :roles end

Hullo, fellow Railsers! (warning: this isn''t a 100% Rails specific question, but I guess it very much applies to what a lot of us are currently doing.) For a project that involves messageboard functionality I''m looking for a good way of sanitizing user input, so the silly fools, err, my wonderful users don''t mess things up too much. I''ve played around with

hi, how can i override rails errors mesages (that are in english) to display them in an other language? thanks hangon

Just wondering if anyone can tell me the differences between i2 and instiki-ar? Is one preferred over the other? Also, instiki-ar has support for file uploads but it doesn''t look like i2 does. Is there any plan to add that support? Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks. Steven Smith

Hi guys, After a few days of webrick seeming to use up a ton of ram (the longer it was running, the more ram); izayoi on #rubyonrails kindly suggested changing Dependencies.mechanism in development.rb to :require which appears to have fixed the prob - at the expense of having to restart webrick after making changes to .rb files. Is this a known issue, or is there an alternative solution?

Hi, Nice project. I saw the checkin for jbehave and I thought "SOLD!" One question, is there a reason that it cannot be installed using gem? It would make starting the server easy. Other people can also customize the server like they do with Jetty (which I think is the coolest servlet engine because of that). -- Shane http://www.shaneduan.com

Hello, I am looking for a user test automation tool. When I say ''user'', I mean it should mimic the user interacting with the app. That ultimately boils down to a tool that drives a browser or is able to make http requests and allow us to deal easily with the responses. Our requirements are to be able to write the tests in Ruby (no need to switch to other language for test

We''re at a point where we could choose any O.S. for a soon-to-be launched Rails app server, and are feeling pretty neutral about it. The choices are Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and Solaris. Since Rails will be running everything, I''m wondering if anyone has seen significantly better (or worse) performance in any of these O.S. in Rails in particular?

but the model isn''t the right place to send mail from. That just seems like pretty bad coupling, generating emails from within the model. Or is that not a problem? On top of that, these emails need to contain links back to my site...which is a bit of a pain in ActionMailer, but I found directions on http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoUseUrlHelpersWithActionMailer however I

Hi all, I think CSFR protection broke in rails 2.3.11. As in: it''s turned off now. I tried this in rails 2.3.10 and in 2.3.11 and 2.3.11 seems broken. >rails csrftest >cd csrftest >script/generate scaffold post title:string >rake db:migrate now I visit /posts/new in my browser, use firebug to delete or change the authenticity token, and submit the form. rails 2.3.11: all

I am running a Rails 4 app in semi-production and I constantly get exceptions from crawler bots that use a HEAD HTTP method, which causes the CSRF protection to kick in. Shouldn''t HEAD requests normally be handled like GET requests? I am not sure if I''m just being stupid or that hit is a bug somewhere.

hello, is the instiki project still being developed? it seems the web site is down for a couple of weeks now, and almost no activity is going on on the developer mailing list. on a related note, are you aware of other actively developed rails-based wikis? many thanks in advance.

I''m setting up a Paypal IPN listener and need the create action to not use rails'' default CSRF protection. I''ve got that working fine & test it actually works with cucumber (where I''ve turned CSRF back on, since it''s full-stack testing) but would like my controller spec to mention the need for protect_from_forgery :except => [:create] (and fail
