similar to: rake db:migrate - error 'tSYMBEG'

Hi everyone, I''m working my way thru the ''Depot'' project from Agile Web Development with Rails. I got to the bit where I type: ruby script/generate scaffold Product admin And I get the following error: error Before updating scaffolding from new DB schema, try creating a table for your model (Product) ( on the last line ! ) Now I have followed everything as

I noticed that some of my event handlers and scripts evaluated in ajax responses didn''t work in Konqueror (3.5.5). document.getElementsByClassName is not defined in these contexts. I can work around this, by saving document.getElementsByClassName in a (namespaced) global variable once and reassigning it before each use. Still, this misfeature is annoying and not restricted to this

My latest stupid web trick, built, with love, in Rails: http://wordie.org Make lists of words. See who else likes the same words. Basically, it''s a dating site.

Railsters: ActiveRecord''s validation system puts other database systems to shame. However, the newbies might not know how to write a regexp that excludes a match, instead of tests for it. Understand - I''m just asking this question to help them. I have been using Regexps since ''grep'' on Xenix! But the newbies here might not know how to do this:

Just going through ''agile web development with rails'' 2nd ed. I accidentally created an empty migration source file with the wrong name, ruby script/generate migration add_test_date and then straight after that created the one I wanted to use ruby script/generate migration add_test_data and populated the second one - when I ran rake db:migrate a few times it did not seem

I''d like to try autocompletion, and my understanding based on AWDWR:2, and on various website tutorials, is that I should install the script.aculos.us javascript library. My question is how to do that. The instructions on their site tell me to "Put prototype.js, scriptaculous.js, builder.js, effects.js, dragdrop.js, slider.js and controls.js in a directory of your website,

Greetings! I''m having a hard time understanding the way Rails handles urls. I''m specifically having real trouble with the image_urls in the Depot app in the Agile Web Development book. If I enter "\image\file.png" in the Add Product page, the image is displayed in the other views and Properties shows http://localhost:3000/images/file.png If I leave off the leading

Hi, I am using collection_select to build a drop down list. I would like to have the current value selected. How can I do that? My current code is straight from the example in Pragmatic Programmers book [2nd ed, p480] copying here for reference. <%= @users = User.find(:all, :order => "name" ) form.collection_select(:name, @users, :id, :name) %> I went through the api docs

I have been waiting for a tipping point to start using Ruby applications instead of PHP applications. My criteria include the availability of Ruby and RoR web hosts and Ruby equivalent applications readily available for PHP. I keep finding PHP applications to fill my needs but not Ruby applications or hosts offering Ruby support. For example, I use content management systems which are

Railers: Greetings from the low end of the learning curve. I have installed all the prerequisites on Win32, including a lite MySQL database with a table in it called Inventory.

Railsers: As usual for a product written very rapidly, most of its documentation assumes some other documentation told you something critical. For example, the file form_helper.rb tempts me with this documentation: # <% form_for :person, @person, :url => { :action => "update" }, :builder => LabellingFormBuilder do |f| %> That''s beautiful. Now what do I

I''ve been working through the book ''Beginning Ruby on Rails E-Commerce'' which is very heavy on Test Driven Development. As in, you have to write tests for scaffolding methods and validations and crap like that. And then they fail. And you KNOW its the test not the method. So you spend 2x the time writing a test that has to be adapted when requirements change. You
