similar to: marshaling ActiveRecord objects: how to unload associations?

Running into an interesting problem that at first glance appears to be a bug in the AR association code. However, it''s explicitly coded this way so I''m not so sure. I have some code like this: class Address < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :addressable, :polymorphic => true end class Person < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :addresses, :as => :addressable,

Can anyone explain this oddity to me? Given two classes as follows: class Question < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :category end class Category < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :questions end I get the following: >> q = Question.find 6789 => #<Question:0x37e9e70 @attributes={"id"=>"6789",

Today I just spent 3 hours (and before a demo!) trying to figure out why my polymorphic association fields were breaking. Turns out someone else put in a patch for this 6 months ago. I''m not sure if its the same solution I''d use... I''d rather find_or_create attempt to use AssociationProxy#build if its available and only Base#new if we''re not on a proxy.

Hi, I''m new to rspec. I have some fixtures in /spec/fixtures. If they were in /test/fixtures they could be loaded with rake db:fixtures:load. Is there any way other than a symlink to load my rspec fixtures into the database with rake? Or, can I cause rspec to load the fixtures from /test/fixtures? Thanks, Paul

I have: class Post < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :comments do def published find( :all, :conditions => {:published => true} ) end end end When in my controller I do Post.find(:first).comments.published.paginate :page => params[:page] I get an error undefined method `paginate'' for []:Array Is will_paginate supposed to

I wanted to do: foo.wrap and wrap would go to a specialized wrap for some types of foo and a general Object#wrap for all the others. So I added wrap to Object class Object def wrap self end end This worked except for objects which are actually AssociationProxy objects pretending to be some other object. The reason is that AssociationProxy removes all but a few methods from itself.

I came across an issue in my code and after a hard debug session I found something that smells. First the context of my issue. I have a AR object that has a polymorphic belongs_to currently tied to nothing, I want to dump it to YAML. record.to_yaml This raises the following exception: TypeError: wrong argument type nil (expected Data) from

Hi all I want to overwrite the push method (which is an alias of <<, the same as concat) of collections, and there I want to test if :uniq is set to true in the relationship. If so, the method should check if the passed object is already related to the parent, or not (only then it will be added). But I just can''t find the original code of this method, so I could overwrite

Hello all, I''m currently having an issue with some specs, specifically scope issues (probably more of a scope issue than a spec issue at this point)... Here''s the error: ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch in ''A new User should know what role it has'' Role expected, got NilClass D:/ruby/projects/restful_authentication_test/config/../app/models/role.rb:5:in

I have a spec which is failing, but I just can''t say why. Maybe I''m missing something painfully obvious? Here is the pastie of the results & the spec: http://pastie.caboo.se/42626 The spec to look for is "should have an array of users" I''ve printed out ("puts''ed") to the terminal the fact that the values are *opposite* to what

Hi All, It seems that :finder_sql in a HABTM association only interprets a single quoted #{id} the first time through a query. I see examples of this being used in a few places (though with has_many) and I don''t really see how to use :finder_sql without a #{id}. Am I missing something or is this just broken? -- Paul Haddad (paul.haddad@gmail.com paul@pth.com)

I''m trying to understand these results in irb, which implies that there''s some kind of proxy at play: >> aaron = User.find_by_login ''aaron'' => #<User:0xb7109cdc @attributes={"salt"=>"7e3041ebc2fc05a40c60028e2c4901a81035d3cd", "updated_at"=>nil, "contact_info_id"=>nil,

I am working with extensions to has_many associations, and I want to create a finder method that is conditional on the attributes of the object whose association I''m working with. So, to use the example from the Agile Web Development: the authors show on pg 340 in the second edition how to pass an argument to a finder method. But I want to know if it''s possible to instead have

I''m working on a cost estimation tool, that allows each estimate created to override base assumptions of price, cost, etc. Everything was fine, until we said, "Let''s add a ''target net revenue'' property." So, the resource model got a "target" column. The override model got a "new_target" column. But, whenever I set

Hi James, Jim, and everyone else who''s listening. I''ve been investigating an interesting bug related to mocks and rails AssociationProxies. See http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=3149&aid=12547&group_id=797 for details. The crux is that if you do this (rspec mock syntax): obj.should_receive(:msg).with(mock_of_a_model) and the implementation does

Is it possible to use Marshal with wxruby classes to serialize an application''s state? I tried a minimal example of simply serializing a minimal frame object, and I get the error "no marshal_dump is defined for class MinimalFrame". I don''t fully understand this because I also tried another minimal example of dumping a class which did not defined a marshal_dump, and it

Hi all! I have a model (Show) than can have an unknown number of dates. And a date can have an unknown number of shows. Making a Date model seems icky, espicially since I would have to probably write a lot of glue code to get the many-many to work easily. I was thinking maybe storing a Marshaled array of Time objects in a text field, but that isn''t very clean either... Any Ideas? --

I like the cookie sessions that Rails edge has - they make sense, they''re fast, easy. For those that don''t know: the default session mechanism is to give developers a Hash called session. To store this object between requests it Marshals the session object and sends the object itself (now as a bitstream) back to clients to store in their cookie file. To prevent users from

I''m seeing a "marshal data too short" error with an ActiveRecord store for my session data. Other posts say that this happens when the size of the session data exceeds the size of the "data" column in the sessions table. But my "data" column is a TEXT field so it seems unlikely that I could have blown it out. Has anyone else seen "marshal data too

I'm pleased to see another project increasing compatibility with windows clients, by the addition of NTLM login support, but I'm a bit worried about a few implementation details, and hope to offer an alternate approach. I mean no disrespect to those who have implemented to the code so far, but I feel that the idea of 'everybody re-implement NTLM' is prone to failure. Firstly, to
