similar to: Segmenting migrations based on target environment

All, Just read in the Capistrano manual about the Capistrano "migrate" task. There it says that: "By default, all this task does is change to the directory of your current release (as indicated by the current symlink), and run rake RAILS_ENV=production migrate. You can specify that it should run against the latest release (regardless of what the current release is) by setting

All, I have successfully executed the "deploy" task in Capistrano/Switchtower to establish a symbolic link named "current" which points to the current version of my app. on my remote server. My app. was already deployed to the existing Rails root directory (call it "appname") though. I have Apache fronting my app. through a virtual host whose doc. root is itself

All, Does anyone know if Capistrano/Switchtower actually does anything on the database server as part of the "deploy" task? I''m pretty sure that it doesn''t, but thought I would verify. Thanks, Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have a patch for Capistrano 1.1 - how do I submit it? Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

All, I''ve decided to jump into Migrations before I get too far along on the DB side of things. I already have some tables built, and I went ahead and built the migration that would have created them from scratch, and I made sure that there was a self.down section to drop them. I wanted to verify that I could roll back so I figured I would use rake to drop these pre-existing tables

All, Does anyone has any experience with Capistrano against a CVS repository? I am unable to successfully pull a revision onto my remote server when hitting a CVS repository. Here is the relevant output from the cap "update_code" task: * executing "if [[ ! -d ~dusan/eSimplyTest/releases/20060410205540 ]]; then\n cd ~dusan/eSimplyTest/releases;\n

All, There is an assertion in AWDWR that the in-memory session store is "too simplistic." However, I find myself nudged in this direction by the need to keep a non-serializable model attribute available in my session and the relative pain of implementing either a custom serialization scheme for the model in question (or a custom caching mechanism so that I can store my attribute

All, In a template, I have <%= text_field :target_list, :DateReceived, { :title => ''uploaded_at'', :class => ''target_list_info'', :disabled => ''true'' } %> Here is the DateReceived method on my

I am trying to put some smarts around a call to <%= error_messages_for %> so that when I first come into this page i.e. when my instance variable @target_list has not been defined yet, the page doesn''t break. I''m doing this: <% if @target_list? %> <%= error_messages_for ''target_list'' %> <% end %> I get a syntax error on line 1.

I am doing an Ajax call in my page to a controller method like so: new Ajax.Request(''<%= url_for(:action => "target_list_add" )%>'', { asynchronous:true });" In my controller method "target_list_add", I do something and then I say: redirect_to( :action => ''target_list_upload'', :layout => false ) I know for certain

I don''t want to put certain code in my controller because I think it makes things more confusing. What is the best way to manage business logic such that it doesn''t end up in the controller? Basically, where should I put my regular utility classes and backing objects that may not be models? Thanks, Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Is anyone using Capistrano 1.2 with CVS? If so, anyone willing to share what their set :repository line in the capistrano file looks like? The password in there is no longer being picked up so I can''t deploy to my test server. All that''s changed is my update from Capistrano 1.1 to 1.2. Thanks, Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

We had an after(:each) callback that looked like this: PurchaseOrder.find(:all).each {|po| DraftInvoice.find_all_by_po_number(po.po_number).each {|di| di.destroy}} which we were hoping would reset some purchase order data in a certain way. However, because we have "self.use_transactional_fixtures = true" set in test_helper.rb, this code was never getting committed. So, I just

All, I have an ActiveRecord object that I need to be able to uniquely identify _before_ I actually save the object (I may not end up saving the object based on conditions). This is because I want to use the ID in another context (a file name in the filesystem). Depending on conditions, I may or may not need to do a lot of stuff between the time that I generate the object ID and actually

All, In JSP, I can output strings in the Web page by either <%= foo %> //foo is a string or returns a string or <% out.write("test") %> //write directly to the output stream. What is the method of "writing to the output stream" in RoR? Basically, what is the equivalent of out.write()? I have an if then statement that I want to put around a call to h

All, This isn''t strictly a problem or issue with RoR but I wondered if someone might have some insight. I have a DIV on a page which I am using to "preview" the contents of a URL provided by the user. Basically, when the user clicks on a link, I do an AJAX call to an action which uses Net::HTTP to request the URL in question and then update the DIVs innerHTML attribute

Here is my class: class Document < ActiveRecord::Base public def initialize puts "Called initialize..." super.initialize end This generates the following error: You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base. The error occured while evaluating nil.initialize WTF? Wes -- Posted via

All, I''m building model objects for existing tables that I cannot modify. In AWDWR, Dave says "Note that our join table has no id column...The second reason for not including an id column in the join table is that AR automatically includes all columns from the join tables when accessing rows using it. If the join table included a column called id, its id would overwrite the id

Simple question: How does one do URL encoding in Ruby/Rails? Thanks, Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

All, I''ve downloaded and installed a plugin into my vendor directory. How do I then take advantage of it? It has an init.rb file which has the appropriate require. What do I need to do to make sure that the plugin code gets loaded? Thanks, Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
