similar to: Maddening error: "marshal data too short"

This suddenly started happening to my app today. No code changes, so I expect that this has something to do with a server change. I''m using Login Engine and ActiveRecord sessions. LE stores the whole user object in the session, then pulls it out as needed with UserController#current_user. Out of the blue today this starts failing with the infamous "you''re serializing AR

Hi I''ve got the error in the log file "marshal data too short" after I try to store some data into session. After doing some research on the internet, it looks like the problem was caused by pstore.rb. It is there way to solve this problem? Thank you -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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 am using Ruby 1.8.2 on WinXP and am receiving a "Marshal Data Too Short" error. I havent been able to repeat the error as it seems to happen randomly in my rails program. However, the version of Ruby I''m using already has the file.binmode lines outlined in: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/MarshalDataTooShort. If possible I''d like to avoid switching to active

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

I''m implementing a simpler version of the Cookie Session Store in Rails 2.0. If you know what that is, skip the next paragraph. A cookie session store stores the session data inside cookies, on the client, and signs them using a secret string, hashed together. The user can decode the cookie easily if they know much about computers and see what''s inside, but they

Hi all, This is a problem I''ve approached so many times and always worked around, that now I want to solve it once and for all. Say I have something like this: --- class X < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_wacky end module Wackinator class ControlAllWackos @@wackos = [] def self.kill_wackos @@wackos.each(&:kill) end end def acts_as_wacky

After sending this I realized that this was a Ruby not Rails issue - but the answer may be interesting for those who choose Marshal over Serialize. So, to close this off I don''t know why marshal.dump wasn''t ''dumping'' all attributes, but adding custom marshaling to PDate did the trick. ala, + def marshal_dump + dumped_obj = [date_precision, ajd,

Greetings, I first want to say that this problem is happening with the Runt gem. This may is likely an implementation issue between Marshal and Runt. While I''ve simultaneously filed this problem with Matt Lipper, I''m also hoping someone here can can guide me a little - either in implementation (usage of Marshal), or to aid me to fix Runt to support Marshal.

Hi all, I realized the current implmentation has a problem - you can only get the last value set? I realized, after looking at the old C code, that it actually stores values in a hash and marshals the hash, not the values themselves. That seemed clunky to me, though. I thought it would be more interesting if we just marshalled the entire mmap object and passed that back and forth.

I''m trying to marshal some information I have in Javascript, and send it over an AJAX request to the server, specifically to be stored in a model on the server side. I have some Javascript routines I wrote that gather information about the user selection. I see that the link_to_remote has a :before option in which I can write Javascript to collect what I need, but right now I''m

I ran into this error message a quite a few times since my app requires branching to different pages from the same action... say using a switch statement. Ofcourse I found that you can use multiple redirects or renders if you do render :action => ''new'' and return false I hate to code something I don''t understand fully. Any explanation of this will be greatly

Backstory: I''m trying to use DRb for some in-house utility code. DRb itself seems to work fine, but I found that when I misspelled a method name, instead of reporting back a NoMethodError, the IronRuby process crashed immediately to the console. This is using a relatively recent build of IronRuby from Github Steps to repro: e = RuntimeError.new ''xyz'' dumped =

I try to switch my application from Rails 2.2.2 to Rails 2.3.3. In namespace :admin I have a resource-based controller. See controller class Admin::OSystemsController < Admin::BaseController def index ....... end def edit ......... end def update .......... end end Resource is added to routes.rb like map.namespace :admin do |admin| ............ admin.resources :o_systems,

Hello, I have a Dell 2950 with a Perc 5/i, two 300GB 15K SAS drives in a RAID0 array. I am considering going to ZFS and I would like to get some feedback about which situation would yield the highest performance: using the Perc 5/i to provide a hardware RAID0 that is presented as a single volume to OpenSolaris, or using the drives separately and creating the RAID0 with OpenSolaris and ZFS? Or

Hi all, This testing problem has been a sink for time today, and is still unresolved. Basically I have some unit tests that test simple functions (example below) that depend on join operations in a habtm relationship, and I suspect I am getting "false" failures, i.e ones that do not logically make any sense. I need fresh sets of eyes to take a look and see if I''m mising

Hi, I installed the "kwatch-mysql-ruby" gem on my Debian server but when I try to run the "db:migrate" task I get the following error: ** Invoke db:migrate (first_time) ** Invoke environment (first_time) ** Execute environment ** Execute db:migrate rake aborted! uninitialized constant MysqlCompat::MysqlRes

What does it mean for a vdev to have an invalid configuration and how can it be fixed or reset? As you can see, the following pool can no longer be imported: (Note that the "last accessed by another system" warning is because I moved these drives to my test workstation.) ~$ zpool import -f pool0 cannot import ''pool0'': invalid vdev configuration ~$ zpool import pool:

Hi everyone. I recently wrote a nice module that I want to use in my rails app. It consists of a few files in a directory that I have places in the lib directory. It looks like this: /lib/KMLTools/foo.rb, bar.rb, baz.rb Some of these files load each other and I finally got those to work by using the File.dirname(__FILE__) trick. When I simply require the file into my controller, everything is
