I am not sure if this is a bug in ActiveRecord or is this the intended behavior. If it is then it does not make sense to me. In a nutshell: If you change an aggregate object attribute created via composed_of method (see Agile Web Development - Second Edition Chapter 17 page 313 onwards) and then save the model, the change to the model (composite attribute specifically) will not be saved UNLESS

I have an address model with country_id and province_id fields There is also a full_address method that returns an address that is in a format that the google maps api will be able to return a long-lat coords.

Hello generous coders, I''m having difficulty getting a couple of tests to pass. I have an address model which takes an address and with a callback on save and update passes the address to google''s geocoding service.

In my unit tests for my User model, I''m testing some validation cases. What is really strange, and driving me crazy, is that in the unit tests, it seems like the save method is causing my validations to execute twice, and produce duplicate error messages. This is making my tests fail (because I''m checking for the number of errors that I expect). In the web browser, only one error

Quick question. Say I have a geographical database with counties and zip codes where counties have and belong to many zip codes. zip_codes (id, zip_code) counties (id, name) When I create the association table, the Rails way says to do the following: counties_zip_codes (county_id, zip_code_id). However, given that zip_codes.zip_code is itself a candidate key, I would much prefer to do the

Hi all, Here''s another contribution for anyone interested. In Railscast episode 28, Ryan Bates showed us in_groups_of which allows you to group array members such as >> list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7] => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7] >> list.in_groups_of(3) => [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, nil, nil]] This allows you to iterate over the groups and, for example, display a list

I have two objects, QuoteInput and Insured. QuoteInput has one Insured and Insured belongs to QuoteInput. I don''t understand what I''m seeing. I assign an Insured to a QuoteInput.

Hey all, I''m rather new to Ruby and Rails (and not great with SQL), but I''m developing a ride sharing app and would like to be able to sort on something I don''t have stored.

I am taking over a code base and am trying to run the tests. I am somewhat new to RSpec so this might be a trivial problem. Basically I can tell that the fixtures are not getting loaded. All 100 tests fail with a similar error. But I don''t know why. Below is the code, with my narrative with *** before it... Can you see anything or give me a clue where to look. So far I am coming up

Well, with no guarantees or promises whatsoever...here's my first attempt. I'm certain someone else can come up with a much more robust solution but it's a starting point. Since I typically see a batch of the error messages during an FTS update, my current usage is: 1. doveadm fts rescan -u user-to-fix 2. Perform a fts search to do a full mailbox scan 3. Check the mail log to
