Hi, how is it possible that I can use the restful routes helpers (e.g. new_user_path) in controller specs? I browsed the source code but I couldn''t find the magic. I''m just curious and would appreciate any hint... thanks Andi

Hello, I am running into issues using *_path() and *_url() helpers the Facebooker Publisher framework. I encounter the following error when using these helpers while *inside of a partial*: undefined method `default_url_options'' for ActionView::Base:Class I''ve seen a few other people speak about this issue, yet I haven''t seen any resolution on the mailing list yet.

I''ve been writing a gem to implement and extend common controller functionality so that Rails can be used with Javascript frameworks like AngularJS (which we are using), Ember.js, etc. in such a way that the user doesn''t have to tweak a a bunch of rails g controller boilerplate code to provide services for use in these frameworks that in turn would require various changes to

Has anyone hacked Builder::XmlMarkup to dasherize underscore tags by default? I know I can use tag!, but I''d like to find a way for it to translate underscores to dashes automatically. In other words: xml.department_manager do "fred end #=> <department-manager>fred</department-manager> I tried hacking Builder::XmlBase.method_missing but got myself all twisted up!

I''ve got rspec and zentest installed as well as the rspec rails plugin, and my model/controller specs all pass and work well. I can''t seem to get views to work though - 100% of the specs fail with: NoMethodError in ''/users/show.rhtml should render attributes in <p>'' protected method `render'' called for

Newb here. I have a form and a value that is being displayed ... and I have no idea where the value came from. I have done a <%= debugger; '''' %> in the form and, indeed, the debugger stops at the statement. I have tried to trace through the code to see where the value came from ... and I gave up. So ... what in Rails initializes the fields of a form? -- Posted via

I think Rails 2.1 introduced a bug when eager loading of associations with Oracle. In 2.1 ActiveRecord loads the included table with a big ''IN'' query: ''where association.id in (1, 2, 3, 4...)''. The problem is that Oracle has a hard limit of 1000 values in an IN clause. I get this error: ''OCIError: ORA-01795: maximum number of expressions in a list

Hello everyone, what''s the real difference between root_url and root_path in Rails, for example. Apparently both lead to the same route in the application.

Hi, I have some named routes defined e.g. map.public and wish to use link_to_unless_current() to disable link. However, as I''ve seen from forum discussions and the API doc, the issue lies with the fact that the named_route_url() method generated by a named route does not default to only_path = true like url_for. Therefore, the current_page? within link_to_unless_current() will not

I see in the new Agile Rails 2nd edition that components are going out of style? Is this so? has anybody abandoned the idea of components for helpers? Specifically I''m considering a menu sytem for a website that depends heavily on the users permissions to decide which menu options a user would need to see. I thought that components, since they have the logic in the controller and

I am using prototype to create modal popups for my login and register pages, but the fields are populating with the data from certain variables. For example, I have a show page that finds a user like so: @user = User.find(params[:id]) and my form uses: <% form_for :user, :url => users_path do |f| -%> so it is populating the form with the data from @user. Should I rename the @user

So I got CanCan and Devise working well. I have two types of users: Admins and Nonadmins. Admins can edit all of Nonadmins profiles. The problem is, every user (either Admin or Nonadmin) belongs to an Account or Organization. Admins should only be able to edit users from their own Account or Organization. I was able to do that too. The problem is, I can''t display the Create New User

I''m having a problem getting this example from the book to work: class Cookbook attr_accessor :title, :author def initialize @recipes = [] end def method_missing(m, *args, &block) @recipes.send(m, *args, &block) end end cb = Cookbook.new cb << recipe_for_cake cb << recipe_for_chicken beef_dishes = cb.find_all {|recipes| recipe.main_ingredient ==

I''m trying to figure out an elegant way to do this: I have the following three tables: people, employer, employees And consequently the following three models: class Person < ActiveRecord::Base end class Employer < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :employees end class Employee < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :person belongs_to :employer end I want to be able to say:

Does someone have an actual example of this? I saw DHH''s slides where he said that you could have your app automatically respond with HTML, XML, atom, whatever. So far I''ve found tons of discussion on REST and CRUD in Rails, but I haven''t seen anything that actually shows me what it all is. There''s simply_restful, which apparently makes things easier...I
