Hi: Is there a good way to override the mappings between class variables and database column type as determined by activerecord ? I have a column in the database table (postgres) that is declared as numeric(1000,0) which is an exact precision type. However, activerecord maps the correspoding class variable to type float which will not work for me. I''d like to map it to ruby type Bignum

Hi, I have two models in an app that inherit from ActiveResource::Base. The scaffold controller tests for one of the models works fine, but the other one dies when calling mock_model in the "handling GET /fa_codes" spec: Specifically, the call to mock model here: before do @fa_code = mock_model(FaCode) FaCode.stub!(:find).and_return([@fa_code]) end generates this failure:

I get this error when I try to save an object that extends of ActiveRecord: NoMethodError in TeamController#add_player You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!

All, I am trying to install puppet master version 2.7.13 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, and utilize stored configs. I followed the guide here: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Using_Stored_Configuration When I run puppet --noop on one of the clients, I get the following error: err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Could not autoload

Trying to set up the inventory service on puppet 2.6.8, pretty sure I''ve met all the dependencies but puppetmaster logs Could not autoload inventory_active_record: uninitialized constant ActiveRecord When clients attempt to connect. local gems: *** LOCAL GEMS *** abstract (1.0.0) actionmailer (3.0.7, 2.2.3) actionpack (3.0.7, 2.2.3) activemodel (3.0.7) activerecord (3.0.7)

I am using a plugin that adds a method to ActiveRecord::Base. The added method is called self.create_or_update. I need to monkey patch this method. I tried in lib/ config/initializers and in environment.rb, but the one in the plugin is always the one that is run. Where do I put my version of the method so that it overrides that of the plugin? I only use this method when running a rake task, so

Anybody know how I can override delete/destroy in objects that have has_and_belongs_to_many behavior specified? I''m having issues overriding delete for an ActiveRecord object that contains a has_and_belongs_to_many relationship. Delete and destroy are properly overridden for objects that do not have has_and_belongs_to_many relationships specified, but as soon as I add any the overridden

We spent a big chunk of yesterday hunting down a strange bug in one of our rails apps and created a test project to try out different theories on what was going on. The result so far is a very small test case app that perfectly reproduces the problem. The question is, is there anything *wrong* with what we''re doing here, or is it a problem with ActiveRecord? We''re on rails

I use Samba 2.2.0 on small network. I use "security = user" and "username map" to map some Win-users to unix users. I have simple testing file with username mapping: root = vlad It is supposed that when I connect to samba as user "Vlad" with vlad's password I get the root's rigths to shares. Right? But when I try to connect to samba as "vlad"

Hi you all, I have a model simulating an ActiveRecord model, according to the tips stated in [1]. It is simulated because even though I am gonna save the attributes in a file, not in a DB, I still want the validations made by ActiveRecord::Base (see code below). Well, the thing is that I also want the behaviour of the created_on and updated_on columns, that get modified automatically before

Hello, I want to give ActiveResource a spin. I have all the code checked out from SVN in vendor/rails (yes, including ActiveResource). I''m trying to make sure it gets loaded. I did this in environment.rb: config.load_paths += %W( #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/rails/activeresource/lib ) Unfortunately I still can''t use it. I have an ActiveResource derived model, Address: class

Howdy, I had an application perfect for ActiveResource, which I do realize is not finished. Anyway, I froze my app to edge and then defined a class: class Address < ActiveResource::Base self.site = "http://ws.geonames.org/findNearestAddress?lat=:lat&lng=:long" End I tried to use it from the console but I get the trace below. It appears it can''t

I want to use ActiveResource in my app. Instead of hitting server though, I want it to load from a file when I call find. Any clue how I do that? Pat
