Hi, My question is. What are your performance experiences compared to languages such as PHP, PERL and ASP? Could you build a site as big as Ebay on rails and have it perform fast enough? I''m afraid that the generalisation in components I see so much users asking for will make the framework too heavy compared to a clean programmed for perfomance PHP application. Probably even

I''m writing a simple app that doesn''t need to use a database. I added :active_record to the config.frameworks -= line in environment.rb file. This lets me run ./script/generate fine without complaining about no connection. However if I try to run a functional test, it complains about no connection being established. Well...I don''t want a connection to be established.

The build failed.

It seems like half the people on this list are writing a book on Ruby or Rails. For all the hints I''ve seen strewn across the list I have yet to see one that will focus on test-driven development for either Ruby or for Rails. If anyone is looking for a topic, please consider this. I''ve been trying to wrap my brain around the TDD process, but its way of thinking is

Hi, I''m a brazilian developer, work in a hospital and we have a legacy database that we want to access via rails. Rails maps decimal types to float, and to circumvent this problem the suggestion one can find on the list is to represent decimal values as cents. That''s not applicable when you have to access a legacy database. I found two tickets 4274 and 4605 on rails trac,

I have been frustrated with J2EE technology just like any other developer who has worked in that technology for a long time. This made me learn about Rails and I was excited about RoR. Today I came across JBoss Seam framework and I am not able to contain my excitement. My passion for JEE development is back. It seems like it is better than RoR. I would like to hear differnt opinions about this

I have: class Post < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :comments do def published find( :all, :conditions => {:published => true} ) end end end When in my controller I do Post.find(:first).comments.published.paginate :page => params[:page] I get an error undefined method `paginate'' for []:Array Is will_paginate supposed to

Hi, How do I disabled asterisk to use database and storage voicemail in directory. Im getting the below error [Dec 3 19:08:53] WARNING[4934]: app_voicemail.c:3430 inboxcount: Failed to obtain database object for 'asterisk'!

I'm not sure how to best explain what I am after but here goes. I have a data frame with 2 geographical factors. One is the major region the other is the component regions. I am trying to process all the regions at the same time without using "for". So I need (think, I do) a list of matrices each structured according to the number of subregions within each region. So is there a

We''re looking at big IBM hardware running AIX as a potential deployment platform for the big credit card processing Rails and Ruby stuff that my team is currently building. I was wondering if anyone else is running on AIX or knows if Ruby is well-supported on this platform. I googled the subject, but http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby/browse_thread/thread/3daaf60b012c1921 is

I saw that there''s a patch in the queue (http://dev.rubyonrails.com/ticket/1874) for a Firebird adapter. Just wondering if anyone is using this, the other Firebird adapter, or something else w/ Rails. My main interest is that sometimes Windows is a target platform, and Firebird is stable on Windows, whereas I''ve heard that the Windows version of PostgreSQL isn''t

Just wondering if there's any significance to the jacks on the TDM cards. They appear to be RJ-45 instead of RJ-11, and I wasn't quite sure if that's something that makes a difference from the user perspective. . . Thx. B.

Hey all, I got annoyed recently that I couldn''t specifiy multiple chunks of test setup and teardown code that get executed for each test. You''re currently limited to just one setup method (unless I''m much mistaken). Anyway, I just wrapped up my solution in a plugin. The answer: use blocks! class Test::Unit::TestCase # This is overridden by the subclass and will

So, I sat down to use set_fixture_class, and it bombed on the first thing I tried: set_fixture_class :content_drafts => "Article::Draft" I made a quick patch, and I''d appreciate a quick run through your tests to make sure it doesn''t disturb anything: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/4095 As I was typing this, I realized that the string gives us no benefits.

Hi all, I'm trying to draw a bubble plot over a map -- where the map shows local government areas (LGA) in Australia (or other structures under the Australian Standard Geographical Classification), but am not sure where I can find the data to plot such maps (e.g. draw the state of Northern Territory but also showing LGA divisions). Any help will be greatly appreciated, apologies if this is

We are looking for Rails developers for a start-up initiative. The implementation is medium-sized and can be done in a matter of months. We have a a professional design in place as well as a complete description of the solution. We don''t have any money to pay salaries yet, so we will be doing this in our spare time. However, this is a project that has huge potential and we expect to be
