Since upgrading to 1.1.3 on our dev box, we''ve started to see random routing errors with our apps running under Mongrel in production mode. The errors seem to go away after a while but come back everytime we restart the server. This may be a mongrel problem, it may be a rails problem (I''ve posted a bug on the trac) and I was wondering if anybody else had had similar

What if...you could produce accessible, unobtrusive javascript, using Rails built-in javascript/prototype helpers, with just one extra line of code in your layout, a plugin, and one small enhancement to the helpers. Something like this: [php] <% form_remote_tag :controller => ''foo'', :action => ''bar'', :unobtrusive => true %> # which produces

I made a brief post on here the other day about this and now I can proudly present the initial release of our unobtrusive_javascript plugin for Rails. We''ll be working with Dan Webb of Vivabit to roll in much of the functionality in his own as-yet unreleased unobtrusive_javascript plugin into a single plugin. This is essentially a preview release and probably not suitable for use on a

I am working on a reasonably large application (which happens to be my first with rails). I was hoping to get some input on organisation of controllers and actions.

I''m attempting to deploy a rails application using switchtower. My IT guys are refusing to give me sudo for a user changeable script. I really can''t argue with their logic. If I have sudo for a script that I can update, well, I can do most anything I want. They are suggesting I create a cgi that performs the same function. Since the cgi would run as www-data (this is a debian

Sorry if this comes across as a bunch of disjointed thoughts...I''m just trying to put my thoughts down and I''d like to know what other people''s opinions on the subject are. I''ve been working with Rails for 3 or 4 months now and I''m constantly trying to look at ways of improving my testing techniques, especially when it comes to TDD. I have a few

i have a Project model, which belongs_to :user when i add a project, the users_id is based on the session[:users_id]. to get the users_id into the projects table, i''m doing this: @project = Project.new(params[:project]) @project.users_id = session[:users_id] this is working, i''m just verifying this is the best way to do it.

Random question: I''ve written a method for the String class that turns an arbitrary line of text in to an identifier, e.g.: "My, what a beautiful day!" => "my_what_a_beautiful_day" "(anb*#NF(AMNV" => "anb_NF_AMNV" We''ve got all these great names already like underscore, classify, titleize and things like that.

I''m getting strange errors attempting to test an rxml view with assert_tag. I can see that what the view is producing is correct but I get an error like "ignoring attempt to close foo with bar" (where bar is a tag which is meant to be nested in foo). Is asssert_tag meant for xml, or just html? Cheers, Robert. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello, I am looking for a user test automation tool. When I say ''user'', I mean it should mimic the user interacting with the app. That ultimately boils down to a tool that drives a browser or is able to make http requests and allow us to deal easily with the responses. Our requirements are to be able to write the tests in Ruby (no need to switch to other language for test

Hello! I just read DHH''s presentation pdf. In his examples, he wrote PeopleController instead of PersonController. I''ve been using singular words in controller''s name. Which is more common? Thanks. Sam -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
