similar to: any tricks re using " eql(5.5)", but where 5.5 is a decimal not float?

anyone able to explain logic behind "rake spec" startup? i.e. the below steps & why things occur when they do Macintosh-2:myequity greg$ rake spec --trace (in /Users/greg/source/myequity) ** Invoke spec (first_time) ** Invoke db:test:prepare (first_time) ** Invoke db:abort_if_pending_migrations (first_time) ** Invoke environment (first_time) ** Execute environment ** Execute

Hi all, I have what I thought was quite a simple requirement but something to do with the way ActiveRecord''s associations work is making it quite puzzling. I guess I can sum it up with this failing test: before(:each) do @source_comment = @source.comments.create(:user_id => 1) @target_comment = @target.comments.create(:user_id => 1) end

I expected ''should !='' to act the same as ''should_not ==''. That turned out to be incorrect (by design?): require ''spec'' require ''spec/rails'' describe "using ''should !=''" do it "seems to treat != as the same as ==" do 1.should != 1 # passes 1.should != 2 # fails end end

Hey Guys. I just updated a project form 1.1.4 that was working with autotest 3.10 without issues: 1) Updated spec/model/project_spec.rb and it fired only that spec. 2) Updated app/model/project.rb and it fired only the matching spec file. After the update of rspec and rspec-rails as plugins a few minutes ago, it only run the controller specs and no other. Also, it doesn''t matter which

The following statement gave me "wrong number of arguments (2 for 1)" and it is the only error. no stack trace. presenter.stub!(:account).and_return account any idea?

Hi, Why does ActiveRecord allow perception of success when updating an ID, however it doesn''t really work(i.e. no change in database)? Here''s an example. The update of "id" versus update of a non-existent attribute. ?> ai = AccountItem.find(:first) => #<AccountItem id: 1, account_id: 1, date: "2009-01-11", amount:

Hi, Just wondering when one would use "include" over "extend"? Both seem to bring in methods to the class no? The context is I''m just trying to understand why both are used with the acts_as_audited plugin: Full extract from plugin (used within here): ================================================== # Copyright (c) 2006 Brandon Keepers # # Permission is hereby

Hi all, I''m working on a financial app, and have set up some columns in my tables as decimals with precision => 8 and scale => 2. My migration looks like: change_column :lineitems, :price, :decimal, :precision => 8, :scale => 2 change_column :payments, :amount, :decimal, :precision => 8, :scale => 2 I''ve run the migration and restarted the server. I

Hello, I''m confused why the spec described below is failing. Other simple comparison specs are passing fine for the same model. The code is working accordingly when I test it through the console, I''m just having difficulty getting this spec to work. Any pointers would be appreciated. Failure message: ''Address fetch and geocode should extract department and write to

Here is a very simple spec: -- require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../spec_helper'') describe Product, "The Product model" do describe "When a new blank product object gets created" do before(:each) do @product = Product.new end it "should not be valid" do @product.should_not be_valid

So, I''m personally cool with this change (patch from #5454, applied in [4596]), and I''ll make it work for Oracle tomorrow. But just wondering if folks considered the performance impact of the change? From a simple test it seems that BigDecimal math is about twice as slow as using Floats.

Hi everyone, I''m new to Rails and Ruby, and have been working my way through the Pickaxe and Agile Rails books for the last week or so. With a background in payroll apps I found that the default ActiveRecord mapping of decimal columns to float variables really bothered me! Financial calcs need high levels of accuracy and floats just don''t give you that. I know there are a bunch

I have a strange problem with my setup of Passenger and Ruby Enterprise Edition. Sometimes the loading of BigDecimals from the database and session fails (silently) and the variable containing the BigDecimal is just empty. I cannot pinpoint where/when/how it happens, and it IS only periodic. I am using the newest versions of both Passenger and REE - I have even tried to run with latest commit

I know there is a hash_including, which is quite useful. Are there by chance any matchers for ensuring a hash includes only the specified values, or that it doesn''t have certain values? Thanks, Steve

In tracking down a bug in AuthLogic I realized that I had made the same error in one of my libraries. Knowing what the error was made creating a test to expose it (using cucumber) rather trivial. However, it has occurred to me that this sort of issue is far more subtle than I first appreciated. So, I am looking for some opinions on how to test for this sort of thing in a more general sense. At

I''m already successfully testing before_filters in application_controller courtesy of this blog post: http://www.movesonrails.com/articles/2008/01/23/spec-ing-your-application-controller However, i can;''t work out how to test the sort of method that is added to application_controller so that all controllers can use it. It must be something simple that i''m doing

How can I link to a CSS file in one of my view files? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello generous coders, I''m having difficulty getting a couple of tests to pass. I have an address model which takes an address and with a callback on save and update passes the address to google''s geocoding service. The returned XML is parsed and saved to the address object: protected def geocode_address key = "mykey" url =

I have set up one of our routers to use a TEQL Device to direct the outbound traffic but I would like to have a bit more control with how it sends out traffic. Is there a "better" EQL device that would allow me to say set the rate of the connections and have it fill up the first pipe then dump to the second then the third and so on so that an outbound connection could use the combined
