I must be missing something obvious here but I cannot seem to see it. I have this step definition: When /entity named "(.*)" has a legal name "(.*)"/ do |name, legal| myentity = Entity.find_by_entity_common_name!(name.hll_keycase) myentity.entity_legal_name.should equal legal.hll_keycase end Which fails with this: And the entity named "Myuser" has a legal

Dear all, If you thought Instiki was a dead project, you were right. Since I''ve got a day job that doesn''t suck (Official Ruby Zealot of ThoughtWorks Canada), my motivation to do open source greatly sufferred :) But... but... but! Here is Instiki 0.11.0, and in this version Instiki is (finally!) moving to ActiveRecord backend and (finally!) has the File Upload feature.

Although I don''t _need_ RSVPs for this event 12/28 8:00 pm The Beer & Pizza SIG will meet at Wild Pepper (3601 26th. St.; SF, CA). For details, see http://cfcl/rdm/beer_and_pizza. I''d like to be able to give the restaurant some idea of the size of table we''ll be needing. So, if you are planning to attend, please drop

I''ve got a nice XML view of my data that works just fine when I call it from the browser. Now I''d like a different controller method to take that XML and write it to the file system. Since the XML view lives in an RXML file, is there a trick to telling the controller "Get your output into a string" instead of writing it back to the browser? After writing it out

Friends, We have released Ajuby 0.4. Please test drive and let us know how we can improve this further. Would love to address specific problems rather than making a yet-another-framework. We are aiming to fill the gap between Rails (amazing !) and business application development by providing necessary glue services (domain objects, authentication, auditing, extensible ui etc).

Folks: Sorry for the commercial, but I''m excited about this one. I''ve been using TextMate for most of my work for a year now---if you''re on a Mac, it really is the best tool for writing Rails code. So when James Edward Gray II offered to write a book on TextMate, I jumped at it. James helps maintain the Ruby support in TextMate, and this knowledge comes

Ok, So I followed the directions.. I did a ''gem install markaby'' (which sounds like its enough to get me going for rails), but I wasn''t sure, so I tried to install the plugin as well. Plugin installation fails looking for a file: Script/plugin install http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/svn/markaby/trunk Outputs this error: + ./trunk/svnindex.xsl

Wednesday''s Beer & Pizza SIG was attended by about a dozen Rubyists, plus one extremely well-dressed gentleman (no hacker he!) who was on the prowl for Rubyists to hire. Beer and Pizza (among other things) were consumed, Ruby (among other things) was discussed, and everyone appeared to have a good time. The upcoming SIG will, as announced previously, be held just up the street at

Hello there, So I''m still struggling with this fastcgi stuff. I''m trying to upload and process a decent sized ZIP file, but the request dies before it finishes and I get the following error: FastCGI: comm with (dynamic) server "/Users/ryan/Workspace/rails/photos/public/dispatch.fcgi" aborted: (first read) idle timeout (30 sec), referer: http://photos/album/new/4

Recently discovered Markaby. Before I use it on a production system, I''d like to know if it is still being maintained? According to the change log, the last change was in February of 2006. Does this mean that the project has been abandoned? Or, at version 0.3 it was considered production stable and complete? -- Best Regards, -Larry "Work, work, work...there is no satisfactory

I needed to install rmagick/GraphicsMagick on an IntelMac and did so from Darwinports. Some things work and others don''t work, like rendering fonts which needs X11 fonts and X server. The rmagick page at rubyforge points to .. http://developer.apple.com/opensource/tools/runningx11.html where X11 link to Apple is broken. X11User.pkg talked about on the page above no longer exists at

I am working on an application where there are many different screens to access the data in a particular record/row. I have links to each data entry screen at the top. Is there a way to detect whether the current hash has been changed from the stored record so I can prompt the user if they attempt to change screens without having saved their changes to the data?

Hi, Could anyone point to some TextMate resources ? I found a few bundles, but they were all corrupted... JEtienne -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi All, Just a quick note to say that I''ve released an intial version of the request routing plugin which essentially allows you to use various request object properties as requirements in routes. Most notably you can do: map.connect "thing", :controller => ''main'', :requirements => { :subdomain => ''whatever'' } ..just like the wiki

Can someone please tell me the best approach to adding support for editing MySQL decimal types in rails? I have a field in the DB that represents currency, and the view will not let save anything past the decimal place so, 10.99 becomes 10.00 automatically. Any help is appreciated. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

[ I''m still hoping for some help with this, folks... -r ] As part of the Arti (http://mephisto-ar.cfcl.com) effort, I''m looking into creating a database to store information on entities and relationships found in Ruby and Rails, as: Method M1 is defined for Class C1 in File F1. Method M1 of Class C1 is used by Method M2 in File F2. Disregarding (for the moment)

Ok so I am at a point that I read my entire book front to back and around and a around. And now digging through it again .. But I am now missing a key piece to the clues is the api. I found http://www.gotapi.com/index.html as a great search tool. But I can''t make heads or tails of it besides a basic search for exactly what I am looking for by word. But if I dont know the word I am

This is way offtopic, but I''ve seen this several times recently and it''s annoying me. If you put "HOWTO" in your subject that means that you''re posting a guide on a particular topic. It doesn''t mean that you''re asking a question about "how to" do something. It''s not like it''s a crisis, but it screws up searches

I''ve been using the Business::FedEx::DirectConnect perl module to track and ship packages via FedEx for awhile now. I''m wanting to convert some of this functionality over to ROR, mostly just the package tracking part. Has anyone successfully tracked a package using the Shipping API out on RubyForge? It seems like the functionality is there since it''s just another
