similar to: writing tests for rescue_action_in_public

hi, i''m trying to implement rescue_action_in_public as a catch-all to redirect to an error page when an exception is thrown (actually, just for testing, I''m rendering "ERROR"). However, putting def render_action_in_public render( :text=>"ERROR" ) end in either a specific controller or even application.rb, has no effect on the app redirecting on

Hey all, I am writing a plugin in which I want to stop the rendering of an action with an unauthorized response if the user is not authorized to view the resource. I am using a before filter to achieve this and inside that before filter I do it like so: render :text => "Unauthorized!", :status => :unauthorized, :layout => false The status is properly set since I see the

All, Rails 1.1.6 Ruby 1.8.6 Win XP It appears that none of my rescue_action_* methods, if defined in my application.rb file, are being called. I''ve placed debug statements inside of the ActionController Rescue module to verify that rescue_action is being called. Here are my overrides in application.rb, none of which are being called - they are all protected visibility (these are just

I''m using the rescue_action_in_public example from the Agile book to handle errors and email serious ones to me. In my application.rb controller: def rescue_action_in_public(exception) logger.error("rescue_action_in_public executed") case exception when ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound, ActionController::RoutingError, ActionController::UnknownAction

Hi all! I''ve been using the excellent exception_nofitier ( http://agilewebdevelopment.com/plugins/exception_notifier ) a while now, but want to change the way it interacts with my application. I now have my own rescue_action_in_public which takes me to a "Error. Describe the problem"-page. After filling out some user data the user can then click on submit. This is where the

Hello, I''m new to rails and I''m trying to wrap my heads around how to spec controllers using RSpec (using rails 3rc1 and rspec 2.0.0.beta.19). The problem I''ve run into is when I want to test that my controllers respond with a 404 for unfound records. Whenever I run the spec, the ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound exception is not caught by rails, causing the spec

In 2.3, exceptions raised by controllers under functional tests were by default propagated to the test, but by using rescue_action_in_public! a test could trigger the production, public behavior and then use assert_response or similar to test the expected result. This was implemented via coordination between ActionController::Rescue and ActionController::TestCase::RaiseActionExceptions. This

I copied (and modified) this code from AWDWR: def rescue_action_in_public(exception) case exception when ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound, ActionController::UnknownAction render :template=>''/error'', :layout=>''application'', :status=>''404 Not Found'' else render :template=>''/error'',

I have this in my application controller. def rescue_action_in_public(exception) logger.error("rescue_action_in_public executed") case exception when ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound, ::ActionController::UnknownAction, ::ActionController::RoutingError logger.warn("rendering 404 page") render(:file =>

In Rails 2.3.x, you can override render_optional_error_file like so: # ApplicationController.rb protected def render_optional_error_file(status_code) render :template => "errors/500", :status => 500, :layout => ''application'' end However, Rails 3 no longer has render_optional_error_file. Instead, you need to overriderescue_action_in_public, which I do:

Hi all, I''m trying to make for nicer system error handling, with the help of rescue_action_in_public (see Recipe 47, in ''Rails Recipes'') PROBLEM: While it lets me capture an incorrect db name in database.yml (for example), with lower level errors like when the DB server is just down, I still get the default system error screen for MySQL::ERROR :

Hi, I''m using ActionController::rescue_action_in_public() to send emails when uncaught exceptions happen. Is it possible to write tests for that? Joe

As I am in development environment, I wrote in my config/environment.rb ActionController::Base.consider_all_requests_local = false in my application.rb, I wrote def rescue_action_in_public(exception) case exception when RoutingError, UnknownAction render :file => "#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/404.html", :status => 404 else logger.error

This may be a bonehead question, but when I have some error in a view I''m testing, the server spits out a generic page: "Application error Change this error message for exceptions thrown outside of an action (like in Dispatcher setups or broken Ruby code) in public/500.html" This is pretty unhelpful when I''m debugging. Is there an error log for Rails overall

Hi, I''m having a strange problem that only seems to be happening on our production server. I never get this error locally but get it quite often on the server. The other odd thing is it doesn''t seem to be resulting in any error pages on the site. Everything looks fine... I wanted to add a rescue_action_in_public to email me when there are errors. So I followed the

I''m using a db to log two types of events, link events and tag events. At first I had two tables, link_events & tag_events, but this seemed not very DRY because the only column that was different between them was link_id and tag_id respectively. So I made these tables: events: id int user_id int objtype_id int (holds ''1'' or ''2'' depending

I''m trying to run some specs on my Mac OS/Leopard machine (10.5.5) but rubygems won''t allow it: $ spec spec/models/my_spec.rb Rails requires RubyGems >= 0.9.4 (you have 0.9.3). Please `gem update --system` and try again. ...but I already have the latest & greatest installed: $ gem search --local rubygem *** LOCAL GEMS *** rubygems-update (1.2.0, 0.9.5) Tue Sep 16

I''m trying to override rescue_action_in_public() using the PP example, but my application hangs every time I generate an error. def rescue_action_in_public(exception) case exception.class when ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound, ActionController::UnknownAction render( :file => "#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/404.html", :status => "404 Not

I define rescue_action_in_public method in my application controller. But it fails to catch any exception thrown. I could catch the exception if i define rescue_action method instead of rescue_action_in_public method. Any idea why? Thanks, Andy. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am not sure if this desired feature or not but when we are behind a local proxy ie. Nginx/Varnish then the new ShowException middleware doesn''t seem to properly detect the remote IP address and it appears as if every browser gets a local error page with a stack trace, etc. I''ve opened up a ticket on the rails bug tracker but I also would like to verify that this is in fact a
