Hi there, Being a relatively happy Rails user I suddenly noticed that string#capitalize and friends do not play well with international characters well. Sample console session: $ ./script/console Loading development environment (Rails 2.2.3) >> $KCODE => "UTF8" >> "яблоко".capitalize => "яблоко" Where "Яблоко" was expected (Russian word

>> reload! Reloading... => true >> puts Class < Module true => nil >> puts Module < Class false => nil >> puts Module < Object true => nil >> puts Object < Module false => nil >> Object.parent => Object The above indicates that the Class object instance inherits from the Module object instance and the Module object instance

I''ve been looking at bottling some functionality up into a plugin, but I''m having some problems including it. The structure I have is: /app/controllers/admin/base_controller.rb: class Admin::BaseController > ApplicationController #snip# end /vendor/plugins/myplugin/lib/my_module.rb: module MyModule def new_func "New Function" end end

Hello Core, Background: with Redmine-1.2 on Rails-2.3.11 we''re experiencing a "500 Internal Server Error" every time a mail with invalid UTF-8 byte sequence is hitting the MailHandler (the exception comes from the DB complaining about invalid string in the INSERT statement.) Since we do care about internal errors we''ve installed exception_notification plugin and this

Has anyone managed to replace ActiveRecordStore::Session with their own model? In the source (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/trunk/actionpack/lib/ action_controller/session/active_record_store.rb) it says you can override the default by setting CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore.session_class = MySessionClass I have tried doing this in a number of ways but I get all kinds of weird errors, as

Hi, I''m using activemerchant and setting up a class variable using config.after_initialize. It works great for the first request, but then the variable is nil. config.after_initialize do ActiveMerchant::Billing::Base.mode = :test OrderTransaction.gateway = ActiveMerchant::Billing::PaypalGateway.new(...) end I''m assuming this is is due to the model reloading after each

When working with views, I use instance methods of ApplicationHelper: # app/helpers/application_helper.rb: module ApplicationHelper def distribute(total, min, cutof, list) [1,2,3] end end # app/views/planner/_mta_colors.rhtml: <td> <% ... dist = distribute(total_v_px, 4, 0, colors.collect{|color| color[1]}) ... %> So to test the distribute method in ApplicationHelper, I have

Hi there, I have seen in the file column plugin ( http://www.kanthak.net/opensource/file_column/) from Sebastian Kanthak or David''s acts_as_taggable plugin that to register my functionality I need to do something like this: ApplicationHelper.send(:include, InPlaceEditAssociations) I am wondering why not: (a) module ApplicationHelper include InPlaceEditAssociatons end or: (b)

Folks, I seem to be missing something basic here. I am trying to call a function from my application layout that will return me a hash of the roles for the user currently signed in. Here is the simplified code I have in ApplicationHelper module class Array def to_h Hash[*enum_with_index.to_a.flatten] end end def get_cur_user_roles ["school_admin",

form_remote_tag does not support the input type=file. This is due to javascript security limitations. I created a plugin that modifies form_remote_tag so that if you pass it the option: :html => {:multipart => true}, it will submit via an iframe, allowing you to upload files. It works nicely with file_column :). Currently, it only works with RJS templates (no :update option), and I only

Hi! I got a class named EinsatzFilter which I serialized to session. Before saving to session it works afterwards I keep getting the message: "undefined method `to_s'' for #<Person:0x38c6ab8>". "Person" is a from ActiveRecord::Base inherited class. Code: class EinsatzFilter include ApplicationHelper attr_reader :personen, :monat, :projekte, :kunde

Hi, My helper specs were going ok until I added a call to a rails DateHelper method in one of my helpers http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/ DateHelper.html#M000574 The helper runs fine from my view templates, just dies in the spec test. I boiled my question down to a simple (not too useful) example. I''m not sure what I''m missing. #

Hi Guys, I''m having some trouble getting login_engine to work. I''ve followed the steps in the README file to the letter (I think) with the exception of the Mailer stuff and cannot get my application to run.

Hi all, I''m in the process of creating rspecs for my helpers. One of the helpers in app/helpers/application_helper.rb looks like this: def page_name @page_name || "Define @page_name in #{controller.controller_name}::#{controller.action_name}" end The rspec is simply: it "should something" do page_name end

Hi guys, I am a Rspec newbie and am having problems creating a spec for a RoR helper method. I have in fact already implemented the helper method and am trying to create retrospective specs. I know its the wrong way to do it but I am still learning Rspec. In my view I have a call to a helper method. <% body_class "users" %> which sets a CSS class declaration in the content_for

I just switched our project over to Edge Rails, and I''m running into this problem with all of my helper methods that call _url methods: NoMethodError in ''ApplicationHelper home_link should generate a valid home link when User.current and Profile.current is not set'' You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! You might have expected an instance of

Looking for some help with extending existing classes. In a view I have <td><%=h bmevent.node %></td>.

This is perhaps a naive question, but what is the recommended manner of testing a helper method in rspec? I have created a simple string manipulation function and I want to write some tests for it. It it were a script then I would just add if __FILE__ == $0 and add the tests below that but I do not feel that this is the best way to handle a rails helper. The code (I said it was simple) :
