I have a sub-application project that I had previously converted to edge rails under svn. Originally, vendor/rails was set up with svn:externals so that an svn update at the project''s root would pull the latest trunk along with all the other updates. Since Rails has moved to GiT and depreciated svn I decided to remove the svn:externals reference for vendor/rails and reinstall trunk using

Hi, Running: Ruby 1.8.7 p72, RSpec 1.1.12 and rcov 0.8.1.2.0, I get the following error message with $ rake spec:rcov -- /usr/local/ruby1.8.7//lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/formatters/pretty.rb:131:in `[]'': no implicit conversion from nil to integer (TypeError) from /usr/local/ruby1.8.7//lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/formatters/pretty.rb:131:in `wrap'' from

I removed edge-rails from a project, git rm, committed and pushed the revised project to the shared repository, and then git pulled it onto my Windows XPpro laptop. Both the original host and my laptop have Rails-2.2.0RC1 installed. The Gem environment is: $ rails --version Rails 2.2.0 $ gem env RubyGems Environment: - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.3.1 - RUBY VERSION: 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel

In the agile/rails tutorial book the following construct is added to products.rb. def self.salable_items find( :all, :conditions => "date_available <= now()", :order => "date_available desc") end Now, I wish to extend :conditions => to exclude products that have a nil value for the price. I have tried different syntax

I have this in my controllers/application.rb: class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base ... def datebalk! # set regexp for datebalks generated attributes c = /.*__dteblk/ # Remove datebalks generated attributes from params hash delete_if { |k, v| c =~ k.to_s } end ... end When I call this from client_controllers.rb in this fashion: # need this to strip

Hi All, I have a column type of boolean, and when the value in that column is set to ''false'' (eg. 0 for MySQL), it returns nil. I have tested this in the console, and it doesn''t exhibit this behavior there, only when running on Mongrel. I tried wrapping the accessor call to intercept a nil and set it to false for that attribute, but it doesn''t seem to be

Folks, My understanding of how filters work is that I should return true if everything is ok and false if not. How does the filter below work then (from the Rails Recipies book)? It would return nil if there''s a user in the session. Does nil count as true? before_filter :check_authentication def check_authentication unless session[:user] session[:intended_action] =

OS=CentOS-5.2 Ruby=1.8.6 Rails=2.2.1_RC Gems all up to date I have been experimenting with autotest and I have a few questions. 1. given export AUTOFEATURES=TRUE if ./test exists (with tests) then these tests are run and the features are not. Is this intended behaviour? 2. given require ''autotest/redgreen'' in .autotest if /test tests are run then all I get colourized is a

Rails 1.2.5 Ruby 1.8.6 Rake 0.7.3 RSpec 1.0.8 PostgreSQL 8.2.5 I am experiencing a problem with the "rake spec spec" task on an initial trial of rspec. After creating the rails app I installed rspec and rspec_on_rails in the vendor\plugins subdirectory from svn. I then used ruby script\generate rspec_model product. I next manually created the database instances depot_development and

We are trying to move our mail store from a host running cyrus-imapd 2.2.12 under CentOS-4 to one running 2.3.16 under CentOS-6. The current host is a 32 bit architecture. The new host is 64 bit.

Perhaps this is a Rails issue. However, I need to first determine whether I simply am missing something about updating members of an array. I have an array of 10 ActiveRecord objects. I wish to iterate over the array and update an attribute. When I do this the underlying table row changes but the object in the array frequently does not. For example: count = 0 current_entries.each do

I am obviously missing something basic here but can someone explain to me what is wrong with the first statement, which returns nothing? $ history | grep ^su $ history | grep su 2997 su -l 3024 su -l 3050 su -l 3054 su -l Thanks, -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

I am working on the Agile programming tutorial and trying out some ruby code. Can someone tell me why the following works: <h1>Display Cart</h1> <p> Your cart currently holds <%= @items.size %> <%= @items.size == 1 ? "item" : "items" %>. </p> while this does not? <h1>Display Cart</h1> <p> Your cart currently

I am in the middle of a rather confusing situation. At the moment I am unable to shutdown a KVM guest machine. Nor am I presently able to open a virt-manager session on the host. I am not exactly sure what has happened but the problem with the vm guest is that issuing a "virsh shutdown 1" from the root console has no effect. # virsh list Id Name State

CentOS-6.6 We have a host that has multiple IPv4 addresses aliased to eth0. The primary address is 216.185.71.x and the alias is 192.168.6.x. This host connects to devices on both netblocks without problems. Only default routing is used and it looks like this: #ip route 192.168.6.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.6.x 216.185.71.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src
