similar to: how to parse model object from xml generated by to_xml

When I call to_xml on an array, I want it to get the XML for all the elements in it. I''ve defined to_xml in my class. >> r.to_xml => "<video><id>1</id><views>2</views></video>" >> a = [r] => [#<StatisticsReport:0x3259f38 @video_id=1, @views=2>] >> a.to_xml => "<?xml version=\"1.0\"

When I do a to_xml(with a block) on an association of a model I got a Builder::XmlMarkup#to_ary should return Array Example that does not work. @intervenant = Intervenant.find(params[:id]) output = @intervenant.to_xml( :skip_types => false, :dasherize => false) do |xml| @intervenant.individu.to_xml( :builder => xml, :skip_instruct => true, :skip_types => false,

Hi, Attached are links to two patches I submitted via the RoR Trac system a week or so ago: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/8305 http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/8308 I refrained from creating a new Trac ticket for ARes, which will be affected if both of these patches are accepted by Core. There are a couple of workarounds for this issue, but it would be nice for AR, AS and ARes to output

Since all my efforts to control how to_xml() is formatting dates has failed, I''m now considering writing my own to_xml(). However, from the limited examples I''ve found, I just don''t understand how to actually reference the columns for the records in my record set. Here''s a simplified view of my ActiveRecord object: class Errors < ActiveRecord::Base

How they differ? Does the to_xml method of the classes array/hash/object is based on ROXML lib? As I see in http://roxml.rubyforge.org/#quickstart, roxml needs we define the class (class Book in the guide) before to convert a object to xml. Moreover, the method to_xml (when not using "include ROXML") just accepts any existing object, what is much suitable. I need to compare and tranfer

Currently, it appears to_xml will automatically escape any entities into their corresponding &XXX representation. There''s a piece in the documentation that says "If $KCODE is set to u and encoding set to UTF8, then escaping will NOT be performed." Unfortunately, this doesn''t appear to be the case. Even after following the docs and ensuring that default_charset is

Say I want to output XML like this: <myXML> <id>123</id> <fruit>apple</fruit> <fruit>banana</fruit> <fruit>pear</fruit> <fruit>lemon</fruit> </myXML> Is there a way of doing that with to_xml? It seems like there''s two problems: to_xml always creates a wrapping element <fruits> when it encounters an

Hi, i m trying to do some kind of database dump using .to_xml and after i try to fill my database back (well an other) with the content of the xml. Right now i m doing that : @xml = Video.find(:all).to_xml(:include=>[:vlogiciels]) it does produce : <videos> <video> <mycolumns> ..... <vlogiciels> <logiciel>

I have a unit test that demonstrates some inconsistent behavior with a Hash being converted to XML with the :root option. Sometimes it works fine: Hash.new.to_xml(:root => ''test'') "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<test>\n</test>\n" But sometimes I get an argument error: Hash.new.to_xml(:root =>

Hi All, I''m trying to return XML from a Rails view of an object I built up using Builder::XmlMarkup and I find an annoying side effect is that I get an extra <to_xml/> or <to_s/> element back which makes REXML hiccup thinking I''m adding a recond root element when I try to parse the return. How can I return the XML without this last element? Thanks, Vince

I recently submitted a patch to work around an issue I was having & added a new optional behaviour to the to_xml method but on further reflection I wonder if the default behaviour should be changed. The gory detail, documentation and test case is all here... http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/7004 Here''s a brief example... class Person < ActiveRecord::Base has_many: children

Hi, a couple of days ago I filed a ticket related to a problem with the to_xml ActiveRecord method. ( https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/3982-patch-solved-a-bug-that-prevented-xml-serialization-when-activerecord-attributes-contains-more-than-column-values ). I solved it by making to_xml to infere the type by means of a ruby-xml type conversion, using a Hash that was already

Activerecord supports eager loading with the following syntax: Author.find(:all, :include=>[{:posts=>:comments}, :categorizations]. to_xml has an :include option that supports a shallow form of eager loading to create the xml: author.to_xml(:include[:posts]). Is there a way to generate the xml from all associated objects for a particular model instance?

im my web server app , i have an action to be used as a REST web service # GET /user/membership.xml?email=emailaddress def membership @user = User.find_by_email(params[:email]) respond_to do |format| format.xml { render :xml => @user.to_xml( :only => [ :first_name, :last_name, :display_name, :membership_type, :membership_at], :skip_types => true)} end end my

Hi, I am trying to create an pdf report by using ruby jasper pages. For that I have written customer_list.rxml file like this: xml.instruct! xml.customer_list_result do xml.invoice_customers do @customers.each do |customer| xml << customer.to_xml(:dasherize=>false,:skip_instruct=>true,:only=>[:id,:name,:city],:root=>"customer") end end end I want to

Hi. I have a question about activerecord, computed columns and to_xml. I have a simple model called person that has a first_name and a last_name field (and thus a first_name and last_name field in the Person table). When I :find a model and call to_xml, I would like the result to not only send back first name and last name as xml but also add an additional attribute called full_name that is

Hello, everyone. I''ve been lurking here for a while, but this is my first post. I think I''ve run into a RSpec bug in a Rails project I''m working on. I was working on a few REST controllers, and started getting failures on a specific spec that verified whether a certain action returned XML output. I spent quite a lot of time checking my code to see if it was something I

to_xml uses up huge amounts of memory. Whether I use to_xml on an activerecord object directly, or create a hash from the activerecord object and then call to_xml on the hash, creating a 1.6mb xml file eats up 50mb of ram in rails.

Hi all, I am getting ActiveRecord to produce XML with render :xml => @user.to_xml However, on the client end it is a bit annoying for me to deal with attributes like first-name. I would much rather have first_name. Is there any way for me to turn off the behavior of converting _ to -? This seems to be done by a call to dasherize inside the to_xml of

i have: class Library << ActiveRecord::Base has_many :books end class Book << ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :library end in my controller i have: render :xml=> Library.find(:all).to_xml(:include=>books) but, i would like put a condition in the books ( e.: pages >= 100 ) i would like to create a xml with all Libraries, but books with pages more than 100) How to
