similar to: calling method on base intended to simulate initialize on instances?

Problem: 1. ERB and Builder template engines are heavily wired in ActionView::Base 2. Should be optional. If we use different engine - why load all their stuff if not needed? 3. There are template engines which expect files in their own locations and cache them in their own way. For instance a template engine may store templates in a database. These engines don''t need any central source

Rails extends Ruby with mattr_accessor (Module accessor). As Ruby''s attr_accessor generates getter/setter methods for instances, mattr_accessor provide getter/setter methods at the module level. In below example, you see that mattr_accessor declared in the class context of LookupContext. It''s declared in class, not module. However, modules are defined in LookupContext, for

Rails code: Accessors.send :define_method, :"default_#{name}", &block Accessors.module_eval <<-METHOD, __FILE__, __LINE__ + 1    def #{name}    -ISKimRw02aC5oVgD8gxYQQ@public.gmane.org(:#{name}, [])    end    def #{name}=(value)    value = value.present? ?

Hi, I wanted to be able to use some Rails code inside CSS files, so I set up a controller (StylesController) to serve CSS files that reside inside the controller''s view folder when the browser requests /stylesheets/:action So in the controller I just define empty actions with the names I want my style sheets in (ie: def cooleffects end - that would respond to

Yehuda has a nice article on implementing a custom renderer for PDF at http://www.engineyard.com/blog/2010/render-options-in-rails-3/ I''ve tried to follow the example and I''m not sure I see how to get it to work. If I understand things correctly, the format(s) usable in this render call respond_with(@resource) do |format| format.xyz { render :xyz => ... } end

Hello, I had an app running on RoR 1.1, now I''m migrating it to 2.1. In a view I have: <div id="user_management"> <fieldset> <legend>Please log in</legend> <% form_for(:user, :url => sessions_path) do |f| %> <p>Username: <span class="notice"><%= flash[:notice]%></ span></p>

this bug is similar to something i see already discussed on why''s blogpost comments, which was reported fixed, but that was before the gem was made available (which is what im using since i cant seem to access the C.WTLS SVN) my guess is one of 3 things: fix didnt propagate to gem, my own failure to make an educated guess on proper setup (1), or a genuine bug essentially, for

I want to produce google maps KML files which are baiscally XML files with a KML extention. I''m using restful routes and respond_to. The best way I''ve found is to use respond_to do |format| format.kml { render :action => "kml" } will render a kml.rxml template I have but really I want to have action.rxml rendered for kml files. Is there are way to acheive this,

Hi, I''m getting an error I just can''t find any cause for. The error is "A copy of ApplicationHelper has been removed from the module tree but is still active!" and gets thrown in a Template that uses a method defined in my ApplicationHelper. The error occurs only in development mode. The error did not occur before my switch to Ruby 1.8.7 and Rails 2.1.2 minutes ago. I

Hi guys, I really like RJS. I think they''ll replace partials in alot of instances. Unfortunately, because they''re automatically used like .rhtml and .rxml and are hard to specifically specify it makes it messy to preserve fallbacks when using them. For instance, using partials instead of rjs, my create method might look like: def create post = Post.new(params[:post]) ...

I upgrade my version of ruby on rails And my SO Free BSD was working with Ruby 1.8 + 1.2.6 and now Mandriva Linux with Ruby 1.8 + Rails 2.1.1 it''s not working ERROR: Processing LoginController#fazer_login (for 192.168.3.210 at 2009-05-20 09:20:53) [GET] Session ID: BAh7BzoNYWRtaW5faWQwIgpmbGFzaElDOidBY3Rpb25Db250cm9sbGVyOjpG

Hi, I have the following in a viewer Here, @lst = Homework.find(:all) is an array of homeworks. I checked this this is correct. Based on the error below, somehow, the url_for_file_colum does not like to act on the model element. I checked the source code to url_for_file_column, and the problem is with instance_variable_get(). I have no idea wat is going on! Any help is appreciated. Gordon.

Leaving the body of the method the same as the default still throws the "stack level too deep" error. As a matter of fact, it only disappears if I comment out the ''require'' in line 1. As it turned out, it was the method definiton itself that caused problems. Ruby doesn''t have keyword arguments, but I tried calling the method as if it had. But when I changed

Just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10, which bumped my Ruby version to 1.8.7, and my Rails app (frozen to 2.2.2) gets a strange error on startup. I can easily reproduce just by running script/about: $ script/about /vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_view/template_handler.rb:11:in `initialize'': wrong number of arguments (0 for 1) (ArgumentError) Anyone else having trouble with Rails on Ubuntu

hello there, i have been trying my hand at this rbehave material, specifically in terms of integration testing a rails application, and i am curious about the most friendly way to deal with session data. currently, the only way i have found to simulate a session is to open a session and refer to everything afterward via the @session variable stored after open_session. it seems to be workable,

Been playing with merb. One of the helpers I liked in rails was on form validations. Found this was real easy to port over, so I thought I''d share. It doesn''t highlight the field with the error, but it gives that same nice little div on top. Say I had an articles controller def create @article = Article.new(params[:article]) @article.save! redirect

Is it my environment? Is something wrong, cause I thought this should just work?
