I''m having a bit of a tough time coming up with a good solution for what I''m trying to do. I''ve come up with a couple of solutions that work pretty well but many use way too many queries or are just not very good. Basically I want to store something of a property list for a model. class Model < AR has_many :properties, :dependent => :delete end class

Has anyone else ran into this? debug: /Stage[main]/Mcollective/File[/var/tmp/facts.yaml]/content: Executing ''diff -u /var/tmp/facts.yaml /tmp/puppet-file20121214-13448-933j3r-0'' notice: /Stage[main]/Mcollective/File[/var/tmp/facts.yaml]/content: --- /var/tmp/facts.yaml 2012-12-14 00:53:20.000000000 +0000 +++ /tmp/puppet-file20121214-13448-933j3r-0 2012-12-14

I have set up puppet to create a facts.yaml file for mcollective using the following line: content => inline_template("<%= scope.to_hash.reject { |k,v| k.to_s =~ /(uptime.*|timestamp|.*free|macaddress.*|ipaddress)/ }.to_yaml %>"), However, it is creating a lot of unnecessary changes by reordering the facts in the yaml output as you can see in the diff output between to

Hi, in the past few months someone posted an entry on their blog about how to do validations in non-AR classes and I cant find it any more. Anyone have a link? Thanks, Trevor -- Trevor Squires http://somethinglearned.com

Hi, I want to use a file resource to write a facts.yaml file for Mcollective. For some reason it won''t provide a valid yaml format if I dump my scope to hash and convert to_yaml. file { "/etc/mcollective/facts.yaml" : owner => root, group => root, mode => 400, loglevel => debug, #content => inline_template("<%= scope.to_hash.reject {

Hola: Posteo este asunto en la lista porque me consta que los "padres" del paquete pxR (por el que les estoy enormemente agradecido) son asiduos de ella y nos aclaran a muchos novatos como yo un montón de dudas de R. Si prefieren que tratemos este asunto de forma menos "publica" no tienen mas que decirlo. Bueno al turrón (nunca mejor dicho)!!! Estoy montando una serie de

Hi all - I''d like to implement a lookup table in my app that contains some reference data, just some status codes and their descriptions. What''s the most appropriate approach according to the "rails way" of doing things? Would I just implement a has_many relationship? Let''s say these are Order status codes, would the StatusCode have many Orders? This

I''d like to include similar information that notice() spits out in a file I am generating -- basically so that anyone looking at the generated file (actually a file fragment) could trace it back to the class that is generating the entry. Using $name within the file fragment is the closest I am getting to what I want -- is there anything better? -- You received this message because you

#set_status http://merb.devjavu.com/browser/trunk/lib/merb/mixins/render.rb#L270 refers to a non-existent constant. I tried, while creating #359, to make things OK, but I failed. I started by using STATUS_CODES instead, then used #[] instead of calling a method named STATUS_CODES, then I found out that during the call to #inherited

Hi, I have a model (let''s say User) and I would like to add any number of user-defined-settings to this Model. I created a UserSetting Model with user_id, key and value. I connected them with has_many. I know how to access these properties from a user but I would like some methods like user.hasProperty? / user.getProperty ... I think I know how to write these methods/finders myself but

I am having an issue with templates that I cant quite figure out why it is having an issue. I am using ruby dsl to read a template from a database and it keeps having problems with anything other than <%= var %> type definitions. I even went as far cutting and pasting from the puppet online documentation just to see if it were maybe something I goofed. I pasted below the tested template

I am trying to inherit from a ActiveRecord class defined in a plugin. The problem is that ActiveRecord thinks I am doing an STI and is looking up a table that doesn''t exist. Currently, I have a method in the parent class that looks like this: def self.fix_table_name class_eval do set_table_name(Inflector.tableize(self.to_s)) end end The problem is that this method

I''m trying to produce a plugin to help me with my page caching woes. I can''t seem to get rails to see my method within the plugin. This is my first attempt at a plugin so I''m sure I''m missing something. I''ve created a directory /vendor/lib/plugins/broom_stick/. I then created an init.rb file with: require ''broom_stick'' I then

Hi, I''m a bit stuck with mocking a unit test of a join model with regards to a validates_uniqueness_of clause.

Hi all, My app is generating a form with several bill_items that should be updated (fields to be updated are description and net). The text_field_tag names are bill_item[update][#{id}][description] and bill_item[update][#{id}][net] (and I added bill_item[update][#{id}] [id] just in case) The param received is: {"commit"=>"Save",

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has seen (or completed) an effect to make something ''bounce'' like icons do in the OS X dock when you launch them? Something that looks like there''s a bit of gravitational behavior to it? Thanks, Trevor Trevor Squires http://somethinglearned.com

Hi all, I''m just starting to work w/ RSpec, so I hope this question isn''t too obvious or missing the point somehow: Is there a way in RSpec to specify that a controller action should use a specific HTTP status code? Specifically I want to test for the usage of 301 as opposed to 302, for a permanent redirection. response.should be_redirect looks like it calls

Is it really a hash? As in, can I pass it into a method that a worker is calling so that, for example, a method in my ActiveRecord that''s actually doing the work? Really liking the new code.
