similar to: assert_equal - problems returning value from controller

I have a batch job that will call script/runner, I would like in this call to create html formated email and save it to the database. This is easy enough in a controller with yournewhost.email = render_to_string :action => "email_newhost_ready", :layout => false But render_to_string is only available in controller action pack, is there a easy way to render_to_string in a Model? Or

Hi, I was developing a rails app with version 1.1.6 that just worked fine. I decided to upgrade to 1.2.3 and then, I keep getting that horrible message: "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" Now, before starting script/server I modiffied config/environment.rb and

Hi, Since couple a day, I block with the delete of my fixtures in my functionnals test. In my controller, I need test a redirect if there are no value. But i load my fixtures in start of my test and in a specific test I want delete all. Only in this method, not in other method. In API, I discover the method delete_existing_fixtures, who seem the good practice, but I can''t find how use

I don''t have Rails installed at the moment, I''d like to check myself, but it''s just a simple curiosity. observe_field fits into replacement tags <%= %>, which caught my attention because as far as I know it''s just javascript observing a field and should not stick anything into HTML. Is <%= merely used as an enabling method, or will there actually be

Sorry for all the questions today... Beyond the obvious things--models, controllers, helpers, and other framework-related types--where should I put the code for my own types? For example, I was thinking of writing my own AJAX-friendly paginator, but I don''t know where to put the code for that sort of thing. I would prefer to keep things object-oriented, so I would rather do a lot of

In Agile Web Development with Rails, the following statement is given: assert_equal "has already been taken", product.errors[:title].join(''; '') My question is: Why is the join(...) needed and what exactly does it do here? If it does what I assume, join an array of strings and use "; " as the separator, then I wonder how the assert_equal statement could ever

hi guys, I''m reading up on Rspec, Mocha and some related material to put BDD in my new rails app. I have also checked out Ryan Bates'' railscasts on rspec (that''s how I got to know about Mocha). Reading up on the Rspec''s main site, the main example in http://rspec.rubyforge.org/rspec/1.3.0/ does not show any use of assert_equals. Rather it just uses the

it seems that RoR doesn''t use erb or eRuby to generate its output for rhtml? the program erb and the description of eRuby at http://www.eruby.info both said that <% print "foo bar" %> or <% puts "hello" %> will be placed into the output... but currently for RoR, it won''t... only <%= expr %> is doing it and it cannot be print or

Has anyone tried using erb and builder in the same file? Either .rxml or .rhtml?

I have an application that worked fine, but after the recent updates has broken in some calls to render_component from views. I might be missing something but as far as I remember Rails updates is the only thing I''ve done in between. See the log: *** START LOG SNIPPET Start rendering component ({:params=> {:center_id=>10, :id=>25},

I''d like to do an assert_select where only ONE of the matching elements needs to match the :text. It seems counterintuitive to me to require them *all* to match, which precludes me from testing the existence of a particular tag (h1) with some particular text if other instances of the same tag exist. I know that I can narrow down the field by using more detailed selectors, but it sure
