I created some scaffolding for an Address model and an Addresses controller. When running the functional tests for the addresses controller, I get this exception: "NameError: uninitialized constant Addres" The exception seems to start from this function: def list @address_pages, @addresses = paginate :address, :per_page => 10 end I''m guessing pluralization bug?

I have a STI class tree. I want to set some default values (calculated values so I can''t set it in the database as defaults) on every created instance regardless of what subclass is actually instantiated. So I figured adding a after_create callback in the top class in the hierarchy should do the trick. It seems it doesn''t get called :( Code: class SuperClass <

After drawing many virtual blank stares in the IRC channel and finding zero results on the wiki for ''sweeper'' I''m left to wonder whether these are actually officially supported, or are on their way toward being deprecated. Is there a better way of expiring caches on model saves and deletions? Sincerely, Tom Lieber tom@alltom.com http://AllTom.com/

So, I''m using TechnoWeenie''s recipe ( http://rails.techno-weenie.net/tip/2006/4/3/integrating_file_column_and_capistrano ) for using Capistrano to deploy to a remote machine when the SVN repository isn''t accessible over the Internet. I keep running into a problem, though, with put(File.read("code_update.tar.gz"), "code_update.tar.gz") When Cap

Hi, I have installed the acts_as_authenticated plugin from technoweenie, but when I run the tests I get an error (running windoze) -- create_table(:attachments, {:force=>true}) c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require__'': no such file to load -- sqlite (MissingSourceFile) I found the require statement in test/abstract_unit.rb

Hi everyone, I have 3 types of people (for now): Staff Faculty Students To break them up into classes, but keep them in the same People table, I''ve broken them up like so (code and ''ends'' snipped): class Person < ActiveRecord::Base class Employee < Person class Staff < Employee class Faculty < Employee class Student < Employee So, when I insert

Hi. I get a RecordNotSaved exception when trying to create a user record. The error: User Columns (0.005930) SHOW FIELDS FROM users SQL (0.000465) BEGIN SQL (0.000466) COMMIT ActiveRecord::RecordNotSaved (ActiveRecord::RecordNotSaved): ... As you can see, there''s no INSERT SQL generated, which is the root cause of the problem. In my user model, I have the following

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. I

Hello, Just wondering if someone here as successfully ported Liquid to use with a database. I would like to try it out but not sure how Liquid integrates with current templates.

I''m running 0.14.2 and am a little confused as to the best way to install mix-ins. I''m specifically using "acts_as_paranoid" as an example (as it is one of the simpler implementations). It is a gem and can be "installed" as a gem, but then what''s the best way to integrate it into my app (require_gem?). I''ve seen recommendations to require it

Hello, I was wondering if there was a method in Rails that returns the sum of a column. For example, I have a column called ''score'' and writing a SQL statement such a ''select sum(score) from table_name'' does return the sum of the values in the column. In the past (not too long ago being a newbie), I defined all sorts of methods only to discover that Rails

Does anyone have a sense for how painful the 1.0 -> 1.1 upgrade is going to be for existing apps? I''m finishing up my first real RoR application with Rails 1.0. I can live with it staying at that level, but I really want to use the has_many :through attribute to clean up some of my code. I''m not particularly interested in edge Rails, mainly because the documentation for

Hi everyone, I have this code: @person_pages, @people = paginate :person, :per_page => 20, :conditions => [ "username LIKE ? OR first_name LIKE ? OR last_name LIKE ? OR preferred_name LIKE ?", "%" + params[:q].downcase + "%", "%" + params[:q].downcase + "%",

IE6 happily sends unsafe* characters unencoded if you''ve typed them into the URL bar of your IE6 window. This could happen if you copy & paste a URL from an email or web page. Mongrel doesn''t seem to handle these properly. In 0.3.13.3 it would print out something like: Sun Oct 15 23:05:38 CST 2006: BAD CLIENT (192.168.1.2): Invalid HTTP format, parsing fails. 0.3.13.5

Howdy. I''m working on a RoR CMS and need cached pages to all be in public/cache rather than public [in order to set svn:ignore on all the files properly]. I can get page_cache_directory set correctly and the pages are cached in the right place but Mongrel isn''t serving them because it''s only looking for them in public. During development I know I can set -r public/cache

I have an easy question that I can''t seem to find an answer to. When I have a table with a created_at or created_on column I''ve read that Rails will automatically update these because they are "magic" column names. I assumed that since this was all supposed to be done in the background that these columns would not show up in the standard forms that are created by the

Hi everyone, Already in the span of a week or so I''ve learned exponentially from your collective minds. So, first off, thanks for being such a good community. In addition to everything here i''m wondering what the top RoR-related blogs are - abundant with content and frequently updated. Are there any that would be consensus among rails enthusiasts? The same with web-based

I have a feeds controller which generates RSS and Atom pages. I put ''caches_page :show'' in it. The problem is that the pages are saved with an html extension. As a result, browsers display the cached feeds as HTML rather than XML, and feed validators complain. There''s an option to set ''Base.page_cache_extension'' globally, but I don''t want

Z-Man, DHH recently said: "And [_why''s] latest work on sandbox looks stellar. Making it drop-dead easy to run multiple Rails applications in the same Mongrel process without conflicts. Thumbs up to both him and Matz for getting Sandbox on track for inclusion with the next Ruby release." Does that mean what I think it means - that one or more Mongrel processes may one day be

Hi, i just found the acts_as_attachment plugin for image upload, seems sogood but i cant find any docs about it, if someone here using it can give some references or working examples about the plugin that will be excellent. So what you wanna rails today? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
