Hi All, I saw spurious mentions on a few blogs of a DVD being made available of RailsConf presentations. However none seemed to have a who/what/when/where attached to them, thus might just be pure speculation. Anyone know of an official source/effort being made for a DVD? Would be well keen for copy if one is to be made available.... Cheers Rowan --- http://raili.st/ -------------- next part

Hi, Nuby on Rails here trying to bring up an existing app on a new installation. The whole ruby/rails/mysql/lighty installation was done per the much touted "hivelogic article" that runs through all the steps.

Hey all, I''ve run into an interesting scenario that I think some of you might have some suggestions on. I am currently working on a RoR project and we are making full use of the migrations. We are also using a subversion repository for our source control. Now, the problem.... We are both making migrations and checking them into SVN. So, if in our checkout we have migrations up to 10 and

I''m struggling to get switchtower working, and from other posts about it I know it has something to do with ruby binding to open ssl.

TDD, SVN and migrations seem to be a natural combination for model development: create a test, add the column with a migration, write the code, and check it all in when you''re done. The trouble is that this ends up creating one migration per field. I guess it''s not horrible in and of itself, but it does have a code smell to it. Has anyone come up with a different way of doing

All, I want to run automated unit tests as part of my build. I am building to my test environment. Upon successful completion of all of my unit tests, I would then like to load some data (using a fixture, I imagine) into my test database that will act as fresh "system test" data for my users to play with. What is the best way to "load the standard system test/user acceptance

Just a tip for those of you using RadRails. If you install the new rubygems 0.9.0, you can type "gem rdoc --all --ri" at the command line.

Finally, open up your RI Eclipse view and voila...indexed, searchable rails api docs at your finger tips! This
