similar to: before_save :encrypt_password

hi all, i''m learning rspec and i can''t figure out how to test if a callback is executed in a model. my model code is: class User < ActiveRecord::Base before_save :encrypt_password ... def encrypt(password) self.class.encrypt(password, salt) end thanks a lot, cs. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m using Restful Authentication, and the code to create a user is pretty straight forward - there is a before_save action and a before_create action: before_save :encrypt_password before_create :make_activation_code But for some reason when I try to create a user programmatically in the controller like this: User.new(:email =>

Is it will known and accepted that before_save triggers should return true? I didn''t notice this before but now I see it in the documentation. Here is what I''m doing in my model: def before_save if self.has_album? self.visible = self.album.visible? end end That results in the expected result when album.visible? is true - but not when it is false. To make it

We all know that acts_as_tree gives us ability to set up data in a tree-like structure and use methods like ''parent'', ''children'' and so on. Something I''m completely stuck on. Observe. class Page < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_tree def before_save raise self.parent.to_yaml end end Well, you''d think that it should show

What''s the better thing to do in a before_save if you don''t want the save to continue? raise an exception, or do an errors.add or both? Thanks, Chris Nolan.ca http://kweschun.com/ - Do you have a Kweschun?

There''s a small inconsistency in ActiveRecord''s callback syntax that has tripped me up before. It wouldn''t be a big deal, but it can lead to a silent failure. I''d like to suggest that it either be made consistent or be made to fail loudly. The issue is that to do something before validating, but only when creating, you use `before_validation on: :create`,

2 quick questions regarding authentication ... 1) the flash[:notice] on successful login looks completely wrong to me. How should it be done? def index if request.post? @user = User.new(params[:user]) authentic_user = @user.attempt_login if authentic_user session[:user_id] = authentic_user.id flash[:notice] = ''Login successful! Welcome

Newbie learning Rails. I''m currently on Chp9 here: http://railstutorial.org/chapters/sign-in-sign-out#top At the end of the tutorial, rails is erroring (see below). being new to Rails and after having checked the tutorial... How do you resolve this kind of error. It''s saying current_user is not defined, and it is supposed to be defined with/Sites/sample_app/app/helpers/

Hi everybody I would like a function as the "before_save" method in the model. But it must be the opposite. When I take out data from the database through the model, I want to call a function before the data are available in the controller. Can anyone help me? ---- >>>> thx <<<< ---- -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have a Cappuccino app that I am integrating with a Rails backend. A key feature of the app is authentication which is managed entirely by rails. The way I set it up is that the cappuccino js conditionally executes if the user is logged in, like this: <% if signed_in? %> <div id="cappuccino-body"> <script type="text/javascript"> document.write("Hello

I have a user model and a status model. Each user has a specific status (accepted, rejected, declined, etc). I have a form that allows the adminstrator to change certain options for a user, including their status. I''m using a drop down menu populated with the different status values, and a default option that says "Choose a new status" with a value of "". I want to

Hi everyone, I''m working through the tutorial at the following link and attempting to customise/adapt the lessons for my own slightly different application.

I''m working on user authentication system to get familiar with rails, and have basically solved most of my apps problems till now. I keep getting the NoMethodError, and can''t understand why.

I woud like to sanitize attributes (with ''sanitize" gem) but unless the model is being saved by admin. (Suppose this model doesn''t have any relationship with user model) # In model.rb: :before_save set_html_plain def set_html_plain self.body = Sanitize.clean(self.body) end Two questions: 1) How can I check here if saving process has been initialized by

Yes, I know about the :if/:if_changed clause on acts_as_versioned ... content_changed or author_changed .... That''s not what I''m asking about. What I''m wondering about is something like applying the spiffy new 2.0 sanitize as a ''before_save'' -- A little inaccuracy can save tons of explanation. -- Saki

I have a site with an acts_as_authenticated based login which has started throwing up some strange errors. Until a few days ago everything worked fine but all of a sudden ''RecordNotSaved'' errors are popping up in my logs. When I check the database, it looks like the record _is_ saved but I think users get an error so I''m starting to see a lot of double/triple entries
