Hi! I''m developing a rails applicaton with specify-before approach, with nice results so far. I use mocks and stubs in both Controller and views tests, but the main issue is with model testing. Since I''ve seen many examples here and there, I don''t know if the right way is to use fixtures or not at all (in model specs). Atm, I''m using them, but I

Hi, I would like to know how would you test a method in a model that uses complex a SQL query that joins several tables in order to make a calculation. I suppose that I need fixtures, although my approach with rspec is to avoid fixtures and isolate model specs, but none of both seems possible in this case. Is there another way than fixtures? Thanks.

Hi Railers, A long, long, time ago, i made a Framework/CMS in php. There were two core models: Content and Content_type. Content_type was only a list of content types (as expected): new, article, etc. Content_type was not mandatory, but it allowed later to "deactivate" types of contents, for example. So then Content stored the common attributes/properties between the different content

I am going to start a project from scratch with MySQL. Is it a good idea to go ahead with MySQL 5? Is there any gotcha with that version as of today? -- fxn "We all agree on the necessity of compromise. We just can''t agree on when it''s necessary to compromise." -- Larry Wall in comp.lang.perl

Hi, i have a live server with Fedora Core 2 and cpanel. I want to install Ruby 1.8.2, so i can use rails, but it has some dependencies that need to swith the computer to Fedora 3. It requires a new version of openssl, which breaks dependencies in a LOT of packages. What do you recommend me to do? Update the whole system (how?), use some kind of chroot to install the new version of ruby...?

Hi, I think that this is made from a plugin or something in /lib/, but i really don''t know which is the better way: I have this in my MediasController: def mediatype_medias_options if params[:id] begin @mediatype = MediaType.find(params[:id]) render :inline => "<%= options_from_collection_for_select @ mediatype.medias, ''id'',

I don''t know what I am doing wrong. I have a User class with a "send_message_emails" boolean field. The value for this is true. In postgresql this is stored as a "t" in the database. In Rails this field is a boolean and is set to true, but for some reason the following code is *not* working... the radio_button is not selected. <%= radio_button "user",

Hi! If I have two models, Product and Manufacturer, of course Product belongs_to :manufacturer. A search engine would allow a user to look for a product by its name or manufacturer. Is it better to define a method like: def searchable_field "#{name} #{manufacturer.name}" end and add it as indexable field (acts_as_ferret :fields =>

Hi! If I have a /budget/create action, how should I make a /budget/create_for_customer without repeating myself? I could create a "create_for_customer" action and call "create" from there, but stripping the customer select_tag somehow, since customer_id will be passed from /customer/show. How do you do the create_for_something stuff? Thanks, Rodrigo. -- Posted via

The Problem: how to do the validation. I have not written it correctly!!! Given two tables: sizes and prices; with a relation: has_many ,belongs_to a Price.unit_price for a given Size.meassure must be marked ''true'' as the standard unit_price for that meassure. There will be many other unit_prices for a given meassure, those must be marked ''false'' table

This almost feels like a bug to me, since false is not nil. (i don''t think!) Using v_p_o on a boolean field fails validation if the field is passed with ''false''. It passes validation in the case of true. How can I validate _presence_of a boolean if it is submitted false? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~

I want to use select form elements to choose between boolean options. How can I have it default to true and still display the persisted value (either true or false) when editing an existing object? I guess booleans default to false by default so its not obvious how to recognize when it''s a real ''false'' that the user set or default false because the value was null.

Hello all. I''ve got the following in my model: class Individual < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of :first_name, :last_name, :street, :city, :state, :zip validates_acceptance_of :AZ_resident, :message => "You must be an Arizona resident." end The AZ_resident field is present and defined as boolean (PostgreSQL 8.1), but validation will not occur.

Dear friend Duncan, Thank you so much for your kind reply. Yes, that is exactly what is happening, there are a lot of NA values at the start, so R assumes that the field is of type boolean. The challenge that I am facing is that I want to read into R an Excel file that has many sheets (46 in this case) but I wanted to combine all 46 sheets into a single dataframe (since the columns are exactly
