similar to: ActiveRecord display different text for attribute on validation

ActiveRecord validation messages are currently not I18N-friendly. Specifically, I''m referring to the fact that it enforces a certain grammar, namely the beginning of the message must consist of the field name. For example: validates_presence_of :name, :message => "can''t be blank." ...generates the message "Name can''t be blank". This grammar

All, Has anyone seen this - I am getting the following deprecation warning when running my functional tests under rails 2.3.8 (just moved an app from 2.3.4 up to 2.3.8 in prep to move to Rails 3 --- if you think this problem is solved in Rails 3 then let me know): The {{key}} interpolation syntax in I18n messages is deprecated. Please use %{key} instead. I have isolated the problem to the

Been trying out Macvim and I think I have covered most of what I used in other editors except for how to handle global searches and replaces for text in files (i.e. not looking for file names, but search and replace text within all files below a specific directory). Can anyone who uses MacVim tell me what they use for such tasks? I have been poking around and see :grep as the main method, although

Hello fellow Rails devs, I had a slight problem with validation messages. I had a Post AR model that has an :author_name attribute. Now if a validation goes wrong, I would like the message to say: "Name of author can''t be blank" as opposed to "author name can''t be blank". I have tried looking into the Rails Guides for I18n #5 but it seems

I have a model ''xp_jurisdiction_taxes'' which rails (3) created correctly. Another model ''xp_jurisdiction_states'' has many :xp_jurisdiction_taxes. In my spec I am using a shoulda helper to test the association but get the following error. BTW, greped the whole project just in case and the string ''taxi'' exists nowhere. 1)

I am getting the month and day reversed in parsing a date.

Is there a way to

Hi everyone, I would like to ask you why should I use Ruby on Rails? And I have a silly question hope I can answer it, is it true that the creators of ruby on Rails are gay?

Hello, i am not sure where to report this, i have created an issue at https://github.com/svenfuchs/rails-i18n/issues/118 It seems that activerecord.errors.template.header is ignored in YAML localization file. Changing or translating it has no effect on the rendered header for validation errors. Thank you for any comments, Alexey. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

(Ruby 1.9.2) I have a simple validation regex which I need to pass the following values: "Billy-Bob" and "O''Kelley" (as test cases). Originally I was not allowing apostrophe but it became apparent I had to allow it. The initial regex was: /^[a-zA-Z -]*$/ Now, when I added the apostrophe like this: /^[a-zA-Z'' -'']*$/ Then for some reason

I have two models, one model girl and one girl_photos (a file upload asset). The only code I have in models which describes the association is: For the girl => belongs_to :girl and has_attached_file :photo For the model girl_photos => has_many :girl_photos and accepts_nested_attributes_for :girl_photos I''ve tried to save as a nested attribute the photo, it saves the association

I''m using Shoulda. After copying the code here.... .... http://joshuaclayton.github.com/code/2009/07/14/should-act-as-list.html.... into my test_helper file so I can test acts_as_list, I came across issues. For one I realized I had to get rid of the _ between the "should" and "have" in past cases, but here, I get this error when I run my unit test:

I''m generating 3 models on 1 controller and i''m rescuing ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid for validation errors, however 2 of the models have the same attribute called "name", and if there''s an error on that field, I wouldn''t know whether that belongs to model A or model B. What then is the best way of modifying the error message of a validation error

My code wants to execute wkhtmltopdf: # tell wkhtmltopdf to convert html file to pdf

Got a question hopefully someone can answer - I am working on functionality to match on certain nodes of a largish (65mb) xml file. I implemented this with REXML and was 2 minutes and counting before I killed the process. After this, I just opened the console and loaded the file into a string and did a regex search for my data -- the result was almost instantaneous. The question is, if I can get
