similar to: ActionMailer & application_helper.rb

Here is my app/test/functional/helpers.rb require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../test_helper'' require File.dirname(__FILE__) +

Hi, I''m using the application_helper.rb file to create some useful functions for generating links by name. I understand that functions defined in this file are available to all views, but what about constants defined in that module?

In a method named logo in my application helper, I reference an application controller method (current_account) that has been marked as a helper method with the following syntax: helper_method :current_account When I test out the setup in the browser (without rspec), rails is happy with this setup. However, when I run the spec, the spec won''t pass and gives me the following error:

I have a simple Yes/No selection list that I am using in a number of places. Thinking that I could DRY things out a bit, I added it to application_helper.rb ... YES_NO = [ [ "Yes", true ], [ "No", false ] ].freeze So I figured I would use it there instead of in each model.rb where needed. anyway, in webrick screen, I am continually seeing this...

Hi all, I have defined the following method in both application.rb and application_helper.rb: def still_logged_in? !session[:user_id].nil? end This method is called in a before_filter in my application.rb, as well as in my layout/application.rhtml and view/user/login.rhtml (for showing a login / logout button, etc.) I had to put it both places, otherwise I would get an

Hello, I''m facing this problem while trying to extend the parse_redmine_links helper method in Redmine-1.1.0 (Rails-2.3.5) from my plugin. My idea is to use alias_method_chain so the extended version could call the original version and adjust the result to it''s liking. Anything I''ve tried so far exposes this behavior: the first render of a page uses the extended

Hi all, I''m in the process of creating rspecs for my helpers.

Hi, My helper specs were going ok until I added a call to a rails DateHelper method in one of my helpers http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/ DateHelper.html#M000574 The helper runs fine from my view templates, just dies in the spec test.

Hello, I''m using Ruby 1.8.4 (darwinport), rails-1.0.0 (gem) , Powerbook / Mac OS X 10.4.5 , Webrick.
