hi all, i''m learning rspec and i can''t figure out how to test if a callback is executed in a model. my model code is: class User < ActiveRecord::Base before_save :encrypt_password ... def encrypt(password) self.class.encrypt(password, salt) end thanks a lot, cs. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Working through the beginning phase from the Agile book on ''Administration'' undefined method `hashed_password='' for #<User:0xb7911324> ... /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/base.rb:1498:in `method_missing'' #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/models/user.rb:12:in `before_create''

Hi list, first evening of playing with rails, so please forgive me if I ask something stupid. ;-) I created a User model and tried to use ActiveRecord callbacks to convert the password to sha1 just before saving it. For some reason postgresql gives me a error because the given password is null. To test even further I tried to change :login too, same error happens, :login is empty too. I am sure

2 quick questions regarding authentication ... 1) the flash[:notice] on successful login looks completely wrong to me. How should it be done? def index if request.post? @user = User.new(params[:user]) authentic_user = @user.attempt_login if authentic_user session[:user_id] = authentic_user.id flash[:notice] = ''Login successful! Welcome

In console, I am trying to create a User but the :account_id does not come in. Console just gives me back :account_id => nil. Obviously I''m trying to set it though. Silly console... But, I can set the account_id column in my controller like so: @user = User.new(params[:user]) @user.account_id = account.id @user.save Here''s what I give to the controller: User.create :name

I''m in the process of creating a sign up form for an online application. The form collects account info, company info, and then info for an administrative user. The method looks like this: def create @account = Account.create!(params[:account]) @company = @account.companies.create!(params[:company]) @user = @company.users.create!(params[:user]) end However, this inevitably fails

Hey all, I understand that a def self.abc, for example, is a class method, which allows you to call its contents by just referencing model.abc (rather than model.new.abc). However, what is its role when located in a method inside a model like in the code below. Also in the code below, you see :: located in the method. Isn''t that used for modules and namespaces? If so, why is it located

I am trying to code a Web Service in rails that can handle file uploads. Now as i read, SOAP 1.1 doesn''t support this yet..so i will have to use SOAP4R, right? This is fine from server side...but will this API will be compatible to .NET clients, which will be using standard SOAP API perhaps. Any idea, whats the way to go here?

I have an error I don''t know how to debug. I am adding the login suport in Depot (the example in the RoR book) and LoginController#add_user throws ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in an innocent /login/add_user GET request. The trace goes down to a call to SQLiteAdapter#table_structure, and the source code suggests what''s happening is that "PRAGMA

I have a user model and a status model. Each user has a specific status (accepted, rejected, declined, etc). I have a form that allows the adminstrator to change certain options for a user, including their status.

I recently ran a migration to add the following to an existing user model: t.string "crypted_password" t.string "password_salt" t.string "persistence_token" There is an existing (cleartext) password field, but authlogic doesn''t seem to be reading that on existing accounts. As a result, all logins for existing accounts fail. How can I get

Hi. I get a RecordNotSaved exception when trying to create a user record. The error: User Columns (0.005930) SHOW FIELDS FROM users SQL (0.000465) BEGIN SQL (0.000466) COMMIT ActiveRecord::RecordNotSaved (ActiveRecord::RecordNotSaved): ... As you can see, there''s no INSERT SQL generated, which is the root cause of the problem. In my user model, I have the following

I''m a rails newb and have been Googling about this, but I''m still stumped. Not showing everything here, but basically it should be a pretty common setup so I''m sure others know what I''m doing wrong. - A meter can belong to many meter_groups - A meter_group can have many meters. - A user can ''subscribe'' to viewing a meter_group (Subscription)

Hello everyone! I want to have login field in User model which is set only once (on create), and then it should fail validation if the value is changed. How can I do this?
