similar to: for a beginner - good rspec examples?

Hi All Just a few minutes back I came across a post about autotest/zentest and that post reignited the feeling I get when I look at RDoc, RoR documentation. The main thing that is lacking in RoR and to some extent Ruby''s RDoc is showing method names in HTML is not documentation. The arguments to method, exception/errors raised by method, return value and a usage example completes the

I''ve installed the latest version of Ferret (0.10.13) on Mac OS X 10.4.8 (Tiger) and I''m developing using Locomotive2. I installed with: $ gem install ferret I have a ferret_test.rb file: ----begin--------- require ''rubygems'' require ''ferret'' include Ferret index = Index::Index.new(:path => ''/opt/search-index'')

Hi! Can anybody link to some ror based project what is using rspec, so nuby as me can learn from it. So it should have updated and practising advanced rspec. After reading last threat about "testing behaviour or testing code?", I just realised that I would definitely learn something from app like that. Some casual googling didn''t help me this time. Thanks! Priit at

Hi Railers, I am trying to create a simple application like a guest book which has users and uses sessions to keep track of which users are logged on. The user''s page is constructed after doing some SQL queries and the user clicks on another link and hits the back button I dont want to regenerate the whole page (which is what happens now) .So I want to use some kind of caching mechanism.

Dear list, This weeks RCW has a slightly different format than before. After all, since what we want is less bloat, this RCW is less verbose. Please do let me know what you think off-list. *Interesting stuff on the Rails Timeline* _Fixed and commited to trunk:_ An issue with not null columns in SQLite3 migrations(<a

I''ve been trying to use the ez_where plugin to create a dynamic finder. The structure looks somehing like this.. === controller === def list attribute_filter = params[:filter] @filter = Caboose::EZ::Condition.new :table do attribute <=> attribute_filter if attribute_filter end # ... do the find with the @filter # end === view === .... <%= link_to

Hey folks, I was hoping I could pick your guys' brains. I have been searching for a flash player that I can embed onto my site, that would be capable of playing an icecast stream. I have checked out a few, and they are all limited to playing a static mp3 file. Has anyone worked with such a thing and could give some recommendations? Thanks, Jim Kehoe Hiway Radio

I''m having fun composing queries with ez_where, but am stuck on how to formulate the following using the ez syntax: (begin_date >= ? OR end_date >= ?) AND (description LIKE ? OR name LIKE ?) There are two clauses, each containing OR operators (the ez ''any'' syntax) but both clauses must evaulate to true for a match. Can anyone suggest the proper way to construct

Hi there, I''m puzzled by this apparently simple query I can''t manage to reassemble using ez_where plugin. cond = Caboose::EZ::Condition.new :my_table do start_on < Time.now any {end_on > Time.now; end_on.nil?} end I keep getting the following result : >> cond.to_sql => ["my_table.start_on < ? AND (my_table.end_on > ?)", Tue May 23

I am ''raking'' my brain to fix this problem - I have searched, googled, looked through rake documentation, wiki.rubyonrails and I can''t fix... This works $ rake plugindoc (in /home/craig/ruby-db/th-db) rdoc -o doc/plugins/ez_where --title ''Ez Where Plugin Documentation'' -- line-numbers --inline-source -T html

The skinny is that I''m attempting to add "Discussions" as resources under different resources ("Groups", "Projects", for example) and I''ve simply hit a roadblock (or two). Discussions are an association between the "discussable" (Group, Project, etc.) and a "Topic" so: class Discussion < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :topic

Hi everyone, I have 3 types of people (for now): Staff Faculty Students To break them up into classes, but keep them in the same People table, I''ve broken them up like so (code and ''ends'' snipped): class Person < ActiveRecord::Base class Employee < Person class Staff < Employee class Faculty < Employee class Student < Employee So, when I insert

Hi All, I am trying to pass values to ez_where to construct my conditions. I need to know how the params need to be formated for ez_where. My search class looks like this: def search @display_ad = DisplayAd.new(params[:display_ad]) cond = Caboose::EZ::Condition.new do pub_date == ''@display_ad.pub_date'' io_number =~

I just keep thinking this is going to slice through queries like a hot knife through butter, but... there''s something I''m not getting. Here''s the gist: # get the people like the search criteria Members.find(:all, :conditions => [''first LIKE ? OR last LIKE ?'', params[:search], params[:search]) joined with the alternative of

Hi RSpec Mailing list, I''m new to RSpec and I am trying to get it running with the caboo.se sample rails app. I installed the current version of rspec with rspec_on_rails I tried to run rake spec but received: 330-07:~/desktop/restful_auth_rspec/vendor multimedia$ rake spec (in /Users/multimedia/Desktop/restful_auth_rspec)

Don''t know if anyone else has experienced this but I''m having a problem with the access_denied method in Ezra''s ACL access control plugin. It''s working fine (in conjunction with acts_as_authenticated) until it comes across a user it denies access to, in which case it throws the following error: NoMethodError in Admin#index protected method

Guys, I am trying to figure out what exactly does this line do at the end of "acts_as_paranoid" plugin? ActiveRecord::Base.send :include, Caboose::Acts::Paranoid::ActiveRecord My problem: I have some classes that I use acts_as_paranoid, and others with tagging support. Classes declared as taggable, throw error, which appears to be in the acts_as_paranoid version of the
