RSpeckers: I''m trying to install this into a Merb-generated RSpec rig: http://code.jeremyevans.net/doc/fixture_dependencies/ It requires inserting their test case into RSpec. This is the documented way to do it: describe ''Post'' do inherit FixtureDependencies::SequelTestCase And that leads to the syntax error in the subject line. (No stack trace is available

RSpec-ers: I''m aware this is quite the FAQ. I have probably asked it myself, but I just can''t Google up anything but others asking it. I grabbed the source to Beast, to use as a Rails project uninfluenced by me, or RSpec. Then I installed the CURRENT version of RSpec and rspec_on_rails, and set up a model spec on Post. Here''s the spec_helper.rb lines:

Railsters: ActiveRecord''s validation system puts other database systems to shame. However, the newbies might not know how to write a regexp that excludes a match, instead of tests for it. Understand - I''m just asking this question to help them. I have been using Regexps since ''grep'' on Xenix! But the newbies here might not know how to do this:

Trunk Issue: Because of the use of ''autoload'', template handlers other than Erubis are not loaded automatically (Haml, XMLBuilder). Either this should be fixed, or the documentation should be updated to instruct people how to use non-Erb template engines. Apparently the solution is to do something like this in merb_init.rb: ::Merb::AbstractController.register_engine

Ezra et al: I have this problem: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/backgroundrb-devel/2006-December/000578.html Any progress on it? Or are unit tests simply impossible for now? -- Phlip http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ZeekLand <-- NOT a blog!!

My latest stupid web trick, built, with love, in Rails: http://wordie.org Make lists of words. See who else likes the same words. Basically, it''s a dating site. Built on thanksgiving while half-watching football and launched yesterday. In other words, half-baked, but I thought some of you might find it mildly amusing.

I was looking in using an xml_builder template to do something like: blee.xerb xml.blees do <% for blee in @blees %> xml.blee = blee.name <% end %> end It looks like the xml_builder template can''t expand the erb tag. It this not the correct way to expand and xml template ? Thanks ! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

I have not been able to access the UJS site, http://www.ujs4rails.com/ for two days. Does that mean there are problems or that it has been incorporated into Rails core? In general, what do you think of using UJS instead of RJS? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Ez (or someone) asked on #merb tonight whether respond_to was the right API for what it does. After some discussion and pasties, I offer the following proposed API for content negotiation and response format selection: First, what does respond_to do right now? I see at as performing 3 distinct operations: 1. parse params[:format] and the accepts header to find out what format the

Railsers: As usual for a product written very rapidly, most of its documentation assumes some other documentation told you something critical. For example, the file form_helper.rb tempts me with this documentation: # <% form_for :person, @person, :url => { :action => "update" }, :builder => LabellingFormBuilder do |f| %> That''s beautiful. Now what do I

Hey All Quick question, what''s the merb equivalent of this: ActionView::Base.new([template_root], assigns, self) in merb? Ive found Merb::Template::Erubis.transform(:file => ''/path/to/file'') But I''ve no idea if thats the correct thing to be calling? It doesn''t ''feel'' right, so im not sure it is? Thanks Tim

Railsters: Despite Rails being the only Web platform designed for TDD, a lot of its test infrastructure is still "cargo cult" - imitating other test rigs instead of understanding their principles. Most importantly, tests should run instantly. There''s no excuse for breaking this rule, and if you invent a platform that can''t obey it then you are doing something

I have the following question. It sounds weird, but still. We all have app/views/say.rhtml or any other template for the view. It can include of course instructions in <% %> So the question is next -- is it possible to use .rhtml as a view which we just uploaded? I.e. user uploads his own .rhtml, controller saves it in the database, and shows the view using it. Is it possible at all?

I''ve tryed to use the same logic in html layouts to handle javascript files without success. All I need is not repeat javascript code in various erb templates that have 90% of identical code. - I can''t use more than 1 js file. - If isn''t a way to do this like erb can do in html, what''s the best way to "include" a file in another using Merb? -- from

Hey all, I am looking to write a plugin for merb and have a few queries about how to best go about it. I have a few questions (sorry if some are very merb newbie ones): - It seems all the plugins are gems; I can just add dependencies (my plugin will require soap4r) as per any usual gem spec? - If I want my plugin to add some new generate functionality? Is this possible? If so, are there

Ezra, * test harness in new generated merb apps with helpers for testing merb without starting a server. * pin down plugin arch Seems to me that these two tasks go together unless you want to have rspec built in Merb. Regarding the test harness, my understanding is that: - a developer should be able to easily write specs against a merb application. - a developer should not need to start a merb

I am a web developer using PHP and very limited JavaScript. I keep hearing about RoR and am interested in learning it, but before I make the jump I''d like to hear about the types of applications I should be using it for. On all the tutorials you see big apps like stores, social networking, shopping carts, etc. I don''t have any immediate plans to be building something that

Hi all, I was just wondering if this is the intended behavior. Here is my setup: controller def index respond_to do |f| f.xml { render :xml => true } f.html { render :layout => :none } end end In my views I have a file for each type index.herb index.xerb The first request I send is cached and interferes with the other one. For example, if I send an xml request

Hey Chaps, Forgive me for not fully understanding the inner workings of merb, but I would like to read in a YAML configuration file once when the application is booted rather than reading it every time it is used (as presumably the overhead in doing that is significant?) - I had presumed this is how both Merb and rails do it for there database.yml config files (hence its a requirement

it seems that RoR doesn''t use erb or eRuby to generate its output for rhtml? the program erb and the description of eRuby at http://www.eruby.info both said that <% print "foo bar" %> or <% puts "hello" %> will be placed into the output... but currently for RoR, it won''t... only <%= expr %> is doing it and it cannot be print or
