similar to: RAILS_ROOT

I''m using Attachment_Fu to save several thumbnails of a photo (resizing with ImageMagick) But when I try to crop them, nothing seems to happen to the file I want to drop and no error messages. I check the file timestamp of the thumbnail I want to crop and it looks updated. What''s strange is that ALL the other thumbnails and the original image''s file timestamps are

Hey, I have got a script that returns a long list of font family names, which I all want to store in a variable (array). I tried doing this with @f = font.family also in the for loop below but it only prints the last item when I want to display the results. require ''rubygems'' require ''RMagick'' include Magick for font in Magick.fonts puts font.family end

As this Caboose article [] suggests, I am not the only one who had this problem. RAILS_ROOT is a relative path on Windows, and it can bite you in unexpected ways. I had that problem while working on CruiseControl.rb. There is a trivial patch fixing it (by simply applying File.expand_path to the path before assigning it into the RAILS_ROOT constant): http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/7259 Best

I just replied to someone about using send_file and while I was testing my solution I figured out that the controllers "current working dir" appears to be the root of the app. Then I saw a reply that Ezra sent to someone where he used RAILS_ROOT and I thought "duh, I''ve seen that before... shoulda used that". But, when I had an action print out RAILS_ROOT

Hey, I am trying to upgrade to 1.1.5 and rails no longer finds my controllers the live outside app/controllers. I was on 1.1.2 previously and here is my setup In environment.rb config.load_paths += [File.join(File.expand_path(RAILS_ROOT), "rails_shared/controllers") ] config.load_paths += [File.join(File.expand_path(RAILS_ROOT), "rails_shared/helpers") ]

Hi, I think there is still a major vulnerability exists in the latest Rails 1.1.5. The problem is in the routing.rb file and safe_load_paths method. Because of the erroneous regexp it is possible to perform a DOS attack on any rails application. To reproduce: 1. start your application 2. use this url: http://localhost:3000/debug Routing module will load standard debug.rb script which stops a

I have a requirement that can''t be that outrageous.... I want to be able to upload an image, and have multiple thumbnails be created for each. Then, I want to post process each image (the main image plus the thumbnails) to add borders. The trick is that the borders need to be different for each image. I thought I could use the after_resize handler, but when I try to add a border to

Hi there, I''d like to use RMagick to watermark an image in the tmp directory before Attachment_fu saves it to Amazon S3. I took a look at the callbacks available in attachment_fu. There''s an ''after_attachment_saved'' method but this would be too late, and a ''before_thumbnail_saved'' but this is no good because it''s for thumbnails. I

Hi! Today I needed to implement some controller code, that uses send_file() to send image data. How can this be tested / specified with RSpec? bye, Tobias

I have a simple Intranet app I want to make accessible via the Internet for remote access by our employees. I want to use ssl (https) connections and I''ve found enough messages to imply Webrick as included in rails can do the job. The message at http://wrath.rubyonrails.org/pipermail/rails/2005-January/001993.html even appears to tell me exactly how to do it by modifying

I''m trying to add a link to download a zip file. I created a controller method that makes the call to send_file: def getzip send_file ''file.zip'' end When I navigate to this link I get a MissingFile exception. The file definitely exists (and U triple-checked paths and spelling) and the permissions are 644. I tried moving it to the /public folder and updating the

I am working on a small model mixin called attachment_kung to make attachment_fu polymorphic, so you no longer need a different table and Model class for every associated attachment (Productimage, Ad_doc, etc). All you really need is one model and table to handel all your attachments - in some cases, anyway. I have the code working, but have run into one small hitch that I can''t seem to

OK, call me crazy, but am I the first one to want to list out the actions that are available @ runtime? Anyone else come across this yet? Am I crazy? Well, yes, but... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all, I''m trying to create a worker to send a mail to all the users in my db. Right now I''m doing the tests, this is the code in my worker (Masivo is the ActionMailer subclass): def do_work(args) @progress = 0 @logger.info("MAILER: starting job") records = Record.find(:all) total = records.size records.each_with_index do |record, idx|

I just installed attachment_fu and for some reason, it seems to be looking in the wrong location for my images. I have a Product model that belongs to a photo model. the photo model has the attachment_fu installed and configured like so: class Photo < ActiveRecord::Base has_attachment :content_type => :image, #Allow standard image formats :path_prefix

I submitted this earlier, but the web forums went down and I''ve screwed up the thread, so I''m starting over. I''m trying to built a document upload system. The system has a main Document model with different subclasses for different types of documents. With the code below, if I attempt to create a Document, it works fine, but if I attempt to use one of the subclasses, I

I''m attempting to use send_file to send an image file from public/images. The file is world readable. I keep getting the following error: A ActionController::MissingFile occurred in account#current_logo: Cannot read file public/images/logo.png /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.12.1/lib/action_controller/streaming.rb:55:in `send_file'' I''ve tried supplying

First off, I''m not trying to spec attachment_fu, I know it''s been tested. But, I added some code to that model that I do need to test. Basically, I need to somehow fulfill the "uploaded_data" property so I can actually run my tests(otherwise they fail because of validations). The "uploaded_data" field is what would grab the multipart data from form. Here

I am running Rails 1.1.2 with Ruby 1.82-15. My database is Postgresql. I haven''t had any problems generating models, migrations, using scaffolds, and generally building and using my application, but I haven''t been able to get testing to work. I initially just ignored the problem and kept developing, but would like to add proper testing from here on out. Currently when I type
