similar to: Changing ActiveRecord serialize format to XML instead of YML

I''m either missing a step, confused or seeing some odd behavior with ActiveRecord''s serialize feature. When I load an ActiveRecord object from the database, my serialized attribute is a YAML::Object, not the original object. My code is based on an example of this capability in the "Agile Web Dev. w/ Rails" book (p. 196). In create.sql: <code> create table

Hi everyone, What are other people doing with regards to database.yml being in version control? My dilema: I set up my rails app in svn using these instructions: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoUseRailsWithSubversion The part to note is where I ignore database.yml, allowing different developers to keep their own database.yml without clobbering other developers'' files.

Hi Spencer, To get rid of the .travis.yml note add a .Rbuildignore file with this line: ^\.travis\.yml$ This will exclude the file from the build. The build is failing because of a warning. As noted in the log, Travis is treating a warning as an error: Found warnings, treating as errors It's a bit hard to find the warning in the logs because of all the pdfTeX output but it's a warning

Hi All, It is our corporate security policy to not leave plain text passwords in text files (such as database.yml).

I''m trying to do the tutorial at http://www.infoq.com/articles/BackgrounDRb. A little more than half-way through it says "Upon instalation, the plugin writes a config file into RAILS_ROOT/config/backgroundrb.yml." It didn''t happen for me. I installed the plugin with: ruby script\plugin install svn:\\rubyforge.org//var/svn/backgroundrb It added a bunch of files,

It seems that regardless of what environment I specify in my backgroundrb.yml file, it always uses development mode unless I pass "-e production" to the "script/backgroundrb start" command. >From looking at bdrb_config.rb, it looks like immediately after loading the config file it assigns whatever was passed on the command line (which defaults to development if nothing is

Hi, I noticed that, on Windows at least, if I have a password set in the database.yml file for a database that I also have in my pgpass.conf file, the Rails adapter will die with a password authentication error. I don''t seem to have this issue on Unix systems. It''s simple enough to solve - just comment out the password info in the database.yml file. I just wondered if there

Hello, I''ve got a problem with deserialization of AR "serialize" method (http://apidock.com/rails/ActiveRecord/Base/serialize/class) in my tests. It just gives me pure String instead of my data Array.

Hello. In one of my ActiveRecord models I specified a a serialize field: serialize :settings MyModelSettings If I understand the documentation correctly this restricts settings to the class MyModelSettings. The problem is that this is so restrictive that I even don''t know how to initialize the field. MyModel.new or even MyModel.new(:settings => MyModelSettings) everything I do

Hi I was recently taught about the useful ActiveRecord::Base#serialize. It''s very useful for persisting arbitrary objects through the regular database. For example, say you want to store a Set of all the years a Convention took place. You do: class Convention < ActiveRecord::Base serialize :years, Set end This effectively creates a Convention#years attribute, which is a set: you

All, Apache 2/FastCGI on Linux My fastcgi config. file is set up to run the "test" RAILS_ENV. When I go to access a view associated with a particular controller, I keep getting a ENOENT (file not found) error on a custom config. file that I am attempting to load.
