I was looking at my controller code and the edit/create/update/new for each are practically identical. So first I DRY''d the four methods in each controller to just one and then I decided to write a single macro for all my controllers. This is the macro: def self.edit_action_for(model, options = {}) model_class = Object.const_get(model) define_method(:edit) do

I''m new to rspec and looking for way to test a validation I added to a model. The test checks to see that if field1 has a value then field2 must be nil and vice versa. ------------------------------- When I did the rspec_scaffold it generated one test which worked before :each do @valid_attributes = { :field1 = "value for field1" :field2 = "value for

Hi everyone, I try to add many vectors (L1,L2,L3....) to many list objects (a.list, b.list....) in a workspace. Somethings like below, but it is not working. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Hi all, My current project brought forth the snippet below, which modifies in each row of a data frame a certain field depending on another field in the same row. Dealing with data of some 30000 entries this works, but is horribly slow. Can anyone show this newbie how to do this properly (faster ;0)? for (i in 1:nrow(dataframe)){ if

Hi, I''m seriously considering using Rails to develop several internal corporate web apps that will need to interact with well-established database systems (3 systems running SQL Server, Oracle, and PostgreSQL). The schema on these systems are basically set in stone. Can a Rails application interact with an existing schema without serious Rails modification? From what I''ve

Sth like this: subset(input, field1=="blah1" & field2=="blah2") # but now with substring match in field2 subset(input, field1=="blah1" & field3 *substringmatch* "blah3") I've tried with gsub, but it won't work: subset(input, field1=="blah1" &

Hello, I have a question for you. In my application, I want to make sure that the database doesn''t have any NULLs in fields. I can''t use validates_presence_of, because it will puke if there''s an empty string ("") So... is there an EASY way to check if a list of fields is null? Right now, I''m doing: def validate() [...]

Hi, I''ve got an interesting one here :) I have a form with three fields : serial_number initial surname now, if serial_number is entered, it must be between 1 and 64000.

Hello, I wanted to parse some information from a text, where fields are tab separated. When I copy the text into an R session (under emacs) like: mystring <- "field1 field2 field3" the tab character is replaced by a single space! For ex, if I type mystring, I get: "field1 field2 field3" The tabs have disappeared!!! I checked with Python that the text I copied was tab

hello everyone, i'm new to R, so i hope you dont mind a fairly basic R question. we're using R to manipulate the results of SQL queries and create an HTML output. I'm starting with a table that looks essentially like this: Name Field1 Field2 John value1 value2 Jane value3 value4 My table is stored as a dataframe. I'd like to efficiently produce an

Hi, The following [simplified] query works well, however a variation which includes parenthesis seems to fail, in that it returns hits which should be excluded by the NOT term. This is surprising because in this simple case, the parenthesis shouldn''t change the Boolean evaluation ... any pointers? Working Query: field1:value1 AND NOT field2:value2 Failing Query: field1:value1 AND

Hi All, I want to give ranks to elements in a column so I used: total_list$field1.rank <- rank(total_list$field1,ties.method="min") But this gives me the rank in increasing order. How do I get the ranks in decreasing order? I know decreasing = FALSE is not a legal argument here. Thanks.

I believe that I may have found a bug in R. The top code sample gives an error as shown. However, by simply switching which field is initialized first as in the bottom code sample, it works as expected. This gives an error: a <- NULL a[["field1"]] <- 1 a[["field2"]] <- matrix(c(2,1), 1) Error in a[["field2"]] <- matrix(c(2, 1), 1) : more elements

Hello, I''m having trouble using mechanise to post a form. I took a wireshark capture of the form being submitted by firefox and by mechanise. In both there is an HTTP Post and then a ''continuation of non-http traffic'' packet. The obvious difference is that the firefox continuation packet has some http metadata (I don''t know the proper terminology) where the
