similar to: multiple xhr requests

Saw a lot of recommendations for Firebug (http://www.joehewitt.com/software/firebug/) on this list. I''ve scanned its docs and tried it--many useful features. But I''m so dense that I can''t get it to spy XHR/AJAX requests and their response on FC5 running Firefox 1.5.0.4 and Firebug 0.4. Can someone tell me how to get to

Searched around this forum, but didn''t find an answer for this question. Can you help this newbie understand any overlap and/or difference between request.xhr? and respond_to? If request.xhr? is true, should I expect it wants.js below? respond_to do |wants| wants.html { redirect_to(person_list_url) } wants.js wants.xml { render :xml => @person.to_xml(:include

Dear everybody I''m trying to develop a web application that makes use of AJAX, but also works if a user has no (or doesn''t want to use) JS. For normal requests, this is pretty easy. Almost every action ends with render blahblah, :layout => !request.xhr? This way, I can use the same action to render a full page (with layout) as well as rendering an AJAX request (only the

Hi everyone, I am a bit confused with xhr? and respond_to. I have the folloing code in my view to update the ''emails'' ID link_to_remote(image_tag("refresh"), :update => "emails", :url => { :action => "list_emails" }) in the controller side i have somthing like : [..] respond_to do |type| type.html { render :action

Hi all, In my application, I want seamless degradability so I use request.xhr? to check whether a request is an ajax call. However here and there, I need to use redirect_to - in this case the request is not xhr anymore, and the check doesn''t work as expected. Is there a way to make xhr- like redirect (which allow to get to another controller+action)? Thanks, - Chuong

hey guys, i am writing a couple of actions which are only used with an xhr. I ''protect'' them all against a direct access with the ''verify'' method in the controller verify :only => ..., :xhr => true it would be cool if the system would automatically recognize the xhr actions and protect them ... i want to postfix methods with ''_xhr'' and

Getting a strange error. In a story I have the following step: When "I submit a search name" do xhr :post, ''/searches'', {:search => {:given_name => "bob", :family_name => "smith"}} end I am getting: ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (4 for 3) stories/searching_story_spec.rb:45 in "I submit a search name" But I only

Hello, The documentation at api.rubyonrails.com for ActionController::TestProcess#xhr or xml_http_reponse gives method as the first parameter and action as the second parameter folled by the parameters hash, etc. But ActionController::Integration::Session#xhr has a path, followed by the parametes hash, and apparently no alias for xhr. Of course, the documentation in the AWDwR book would tend to

can someone help me with this i have a table cars ( id int model_id int make_id int color_id int description text constraint fk_cars_carmake foreign key(make_id) references carmakes(id), constraint fk_cars_carmodel foreign key(model_id) references carmodels(id), constraint fk_cars_color foreign key(color_id) references colors(id) ) carmakes ( id int carmake varchar ) carmodels ( id

I have the following tag in a view:- <%= form_tag url_for({:controller => params[:area], :action => :search, :area => params[:area] }), :method => :get, :remote => true do %> <%= label_tag(:query, "Search for:") %> <%= text_field_tag("query", params[:query], :autocomplete => "off", :onKeyPress=>"return

link_to_remote generates the javascript: new Ajax.Updater(...). Have I missed something or doesn''t this handle browsers with javascript support but without XHR support? What I''d like to do is: 1. If the browser supports XHR, use XHR 2. If the browser supports javascript (and perhaps even if the XHR request fails) do a POST via javascript 3. If the browser doesn''t

I have successfully installed several CentOS 5 VMs on a CentOS 5 Xen DOM0 using a local repo and kickstart files with Virt Manager. Using the same machine and setup, I have tried a scripted install using same repos and kickstart file with virt-install. The only difference I can see is that with virt-install I'm disabling the display (no VNC). The install goes well but the new VM

Hi, I have a link_to_remote to an action in my controller, which has an rjs file associated with it. In the action (where @request.xhr? is true), I have tried to redirect to another page or render to another page. When I do this, the log says all the redirections/renders were successful, but I remain on the same page. My rjs file at least does not execute though, which is good. Any ideas on

Railsters: The assert_select system has a submit_form method that reads your current page''s form, and submits all its fields with their data. This works great for Test Driven Development because it tests your current page''s form and your controller''s action at the same time. Is there a submit_form that calls xhr, to submit a FORM thru Ajax? How easy would that be to

Hi I just wondered if there was a reason why Rails controller specs are not shareable? eg describe "All XHR POSTs to /gap/calculate_quote", :shared => true do controller_name :gap # ... end describe "XHR POST /gap/calculate_quote with valid details" do it_should_behave_like "All XHR POSTs to /gap/calculate_quote" # ... end blows up with

... ok, I may be going about this the wrong way, or perhaps, a less efficient way than is optimal, but I would like to test a little bit of AJAX on one of my web pages. When I test this by hand, I bring up the page which shows a select box, I select an item from the drop down list, see another select box show up, go back to the first select box, select a different item, and see something

I asked this questions on some other places before, but have found no solution yet. I''d like to include the request helper (from ActionDispatch::Integration::RequestHelpers, like post and xhr methods) also in some specs outside of my controller specs. The problem is that these request helpers are only included in spec/ controller and when a controller is described. What do I have to

In another mail I discussed my adventures on netbooting syslinux 6.03 and newer from iPXE, either from an emulated rom on qemu/kvm/ovmf or by chainloading via ipxe.efi onto a real HP Proliant DL360 gen9 piece of iron. You might have asked yourself, why chainload? Why not load it directly? Believe me, i tried. First I had to 'fix' my dhcpd.conf because HP probably read the docs on

Hello all, I am seeing the same symptoms described here by Holger Baust on 5-Feb-2015. The only differences in our setups that I can see are that Mr. Baust claimed to be using HP DL380p Gen9, whereas I'm on an Oracle X5-2, and Mr. Baust claimed to be using vlan tagging, while I am not.

Hi All, Anyone know if there is a way to detect whether a request came from a render_component call? There isn''t anything obvious from looking at the source, but it would be useful as I have set up a logging filter in my application.rb, and I''d prefer to exclude all component renders, since they just add extra lines to my log (I guess I could exclude identical rows at the db
