similar to: before_create firing twice on a save - RC2

In ActiveRecord''s callbacks, methods within a before_create callback are called after the validation, but before the model is created. This was an intentional design decision, but I think it was the wrong one. What do you think? When I think of before_create, I think of before_validation :foo, :on => :create, but, by default, before_create is synonymous with after_validation :foo,

Hi, I am having a small problem concernig how to access local variables in before_create. I am not sure how to really form this question but here goes: I am wondering why this works def before_create self.last_logged_in = Time.now self.created = Time.now end but this doesn''t def before_create @last_logged_in = Time.now @created = Time.now end The latter fails

Hello everyone, I''m having trouble figuring out which approach is better. I have the following tables: products, orders and line_items. Every time an Order is placed, the quantity field in the products table has to be updated for each LineItem in the Order. One option is to use DB triggers which is not as portable as using before_create in the Order model. But with before_create I cannot

Hi, I am having trouble using before_create when I have an specialized setter method: before_save :set_campaign_start #----------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- def set_campaign_start self.campaign_start = Time.now end # We want the date to always start at midnight

Does anyone have any feel for the requirements (disk space, memory, anything else you can think of) of a virtual machine (say Centos Linux), set up as a CruiseControl.rb build machine?

I know that usually when people say ''i think i found a bug in rails/ruby'' they''ve done something dumb. I''m wondering if this is the case here, but this does seem like a genuine rails bug to me. In my user model i have a few different before_create callbacks. In one of them, if it happens to return false (just because the last statement in it evaluated to

I have the following models: User, Registration, Event. User has_many Registration, Event has_many Registration, and Registration belongs_to User and Registration. So far, so good. There''s a registration deadline on a Event though, a few days before the Event occurs. So, I have this: class Registration < AR def before_create errors.add_to_base("Registration deadline has

Hi, Can anyone spot why the below doesn''t work? * I have a "created_by" column in my create table in the dB * I have a "before_create" line, which definitely gets called * I tried a few different ways to set the "created_by" attribute in the model but it doesn''t seem to work, i.e. doesn''t appear in the database

I stumble across some strange problem. I have a model with a virtual attribute file_contents that is a string. The model has validates_format_of :file_contents, :on => create, :unless => no_contents? (The method that returns file_contents.nil?) Then, I have a before_create callback, where I get my model''s title and description by parsing file_contents, and do write_attribute for

Hello, Can someone explain why my exclude option is not excluding filles as instructed in my script below. I have tried multiple methods and still have been unsuccessful in excluding the one file "test.sql". The methods I have tried are: 1. Removing EXTRAFLAG variable -a 2. Removing using -a 3. Option --include infront of --exclude and behind of --exclude. 4. rsync /software/testdir/

I''m using Restful Authentication, and the code to create a user is pretty straight forward - there is a before_save action and a before_create action: before_save :encrypt_password before_create :make_activation_code But for some reason when I try to create a user programmatically in the controller like this: User.new(:email =>

hi, guys, my first post. i'm scouring the web site, but don't seem to be able to find a compatibility mapping for older versions of samba. i need to upgrade to the latest sparc version which is compatible with solaris 8...all my searches are bringing up the solaris 9 code. can someone point me in the right direction? thanks (and apologies in advance if it is easy to find and i'm

I wanted to send out status on the effort to make a version of Solaris install available that supports zfs as a root file system. I''ve got a version of it ready for distribution, but I''d like to test it on the Build 62 community release before I make it available. Without the build 62 community release, I have to test it on a build 61 image, updated with some build 62 packages.

http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=1051&aid=3960&group_id=256 I posted this bug yesterday. Seems to be confirmed, since someone else has the same problem on a different platform (Fedora 4 and Max OS X). So, if you are using Oracle, don''t be in a rush to upgrade to Rails 1.1 unless you have the time to figure this problem out for yourself. -- Lori Olson

Hi, I''m having some strange behavior on callbacks when testing with RSpec2. On my test, when I create a resource using the #create method the callbacks related to #before_create are not called. If I go to the console and I try to type the command Resource.create(client_uri: "http://example.com") all works fine. There are no mocks around, and I can''t understand if this

Working through the beginning phase from the Agile book on ''Administration'' undefined method `hashed_password='' for #<User:0xb7911324> ... /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/base.rb:1498:in `method_missing'' #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/models/user.rb:12:in `before_create''

Hello, - the form posted by the user have a date field - this date is begin_date, I need to compute end_date - so, added callback before_validation_on_create - in this method I do : end_date = begin_date >> 12 - unfortunately, beeing in before_validation the actual self.begin_date have not been type casted - It''s always a string - unfortunately again, I can''t put this code

I have found that specifying different "sizes" in the sample command has a funny effect on the random sampling. The code below is a condensed version of a function I wrote to simulate a bootstrap method. For simplicity, I eliminated the internal bootstrap loop, but kept a statement to draw one bootstrap sample, because this is where the problem occurs. The output (mean(y)^2) should be

I''ve got a really strange problem using belongs_to. I apologize in advance for the length... this is going to take a while to explain. Basic idea: Creating a User requires that the user enter an email address and activation key that matches an existing PendingUser. After creating the user successfully, that pending user should be marked as "used". The problem: When I
