Hi all I am trying to get VMX guests working on my new server here. The machine has a Pentium D 920 on an ASUS P5WD2-E motherboard. I''ve updated the BIOS to the latest 0401, which added the virtualization option. I am running a fresh installation of Gentoo (64-bit). When I try and run ''xm create'' on a vmx config file, I get the following error: Error: Error

Hi All I''m having some problems running my view specs when using simply_helpful. I have it semi-working via the following: module SimplyHelpfulHelper def self.included(base) base.send :include, SimplyHelpful::RecordIdentificationHelper base.send :include, SimplyHelpful::RecordTagHelper end end context "The index template" do setup do @shift =

Hi All I''m working on converting some existing controller specs to use mocks and stubs rather than real ActiveRecord objects in a Rails project. In one of my controller actions, I use a database transaction. So, the obvious thing to do is have this in my setup block: Project.stub!(:transaction) Firstly, is there an easy way to have that stub yield to the block passed to any

Has anyone tried using erb and builder in the same file? Either .rxml or .rhtml? I''m wanting to do some think like the following: xml.div(''id''=>''menu'') {|xml| link_to "create race", :controller=>"derby", :action=>"new" } Thanks, -- Tom. -- "Nothing will ever be attempted, if all possible objections must

Hi, I am relatively new to Rails and I can''t get the following to work: what I am trying to do is to make the first item of a list to flash: var item = $(''items'').firstChild; new Effect.Highlight(item); I get the this Javascript error message: this._base has no child (effects.js, line 445) But I am able to do this without any problems: var item =

Hi all I''ve started using some of the scriptaculous effects here, and have noticed something weird. Whenever I use one of the effects, it causes many of the fonts on the same page to rendered with a lighter weight (ie: "less bold"). Has anyone else noticed a similar effect in Firefox? I use 1.5b1 on Mac. This seems to be a common bug in moz-based browsers, as Camino does

Hi All I am just adding some basic e-mail notices to my Rails app using ActionMailer, and have one small issue. I want to provide a confirmation URL to users who sign up for an account. I can obviously just hardcode the URL and append the confirmation code to it, but I''d much rather be able to use something like: url_for(:controller => ''authentication'', :action

I have a script that needs to be run, that in some cases will take longer than the server timeout. So, I''m thinking just throw the script in its own thread, but I need to be able to get the data back from that thread and refresh the page with the data returned. Any suggestions how to do this? Thanks, PJ

I vote for spec''ing. Anybody else?

Using partials is a nice way to separate chunks of content into separate pages as opposed to building strings in helpers, but I''m wondering which is faster. It scares me when I see stuff like: Rendered users/_public (0.00051) Rendered users/_public (0.00009) Rendered users/_public (0.00008) Rendered users/_public (0.00008) Rendered users/_public (0.00008) ....50 more times Has anyone

Hi everyone, For those who have/had problems with Webrick not properly closing MySQL connections, there is a new MySQL gem. (Actually the version was released some time ago, just nobody took the time to make a gem) So run "gem update" or just "gem install mysql" to update (not sure if the latter also updates). Special thanks to Tobias Luetke, who forwarded the gem to Chad

Hi everyone I''m building an app in which quite a bit of data is dependant on dates (and times), and I have logic that depends on when ''today'' is. I''m trying to get some better functional tests written, and am unsure of the best way to approach it. The problem is that I want the tests to run against the same data every time, whether I run it on Tuesday or

I''ve have a very tight schedule project that MUST (not my option), be developed in PHP. Is there a Rails based framework for this platform? I like the Rails way of things, but in this case, I cannot choose the programming language, so please don''t offend me :-) Thanks in advance, Alessandro _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list

The code that comes with the plugin uses a method that looks like this: def password_required? crypted_password.blank? or not password.blank? end with validations that look like this: validates_presence_of :password, :if => :password_required? validates_presence_of :password_confirmation, :if => :password_required? validates_length_of

In my RJS template this works: page.visual_effect :highlight, "test#{@test.id}", {:duration => 5} but not this: page.visual_effect :highlight, "test#{@test.id}", {:duration => 5, :startcolor => "#FFFFFF"} Am I misunderstanding how to pass in additional parameters? _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list

Hi all, Is there a way to invoke validations at times other than save, create and update? I know that I can do this by writing my own validation checks using errors.add_[blah], but I''d like to leverage the existing validation code. What I have is two sets of fields in a record, set A and set B. Both sets must be validated on record create. However, the trouble is that after
