Hi, If I want to have helper method for my rjs, where''s the best place to put it? so for example: --- bla.rjs: page.replace_html ... page.visual_effect ... --- somewhere: (currently I put in application_helper.rb) def replace_with_effect(page) page.replace_html ... page.visual_effect ... end --- bla.rjs: replace_with_effect page and is there a way to define the helper so we

In unit or functional test, is there a way to check that a file has been deleted? It seems that running the test does not really execute deleting files, which is good because I don''t want it to actually delete the files. But can I check that the deletion should have been performed in test environment? thanks, - reynard -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was

Hi, when using prototype and scriptaculous, isn''t it confusing sometimes to remember which ones you have to use new and which ones that are just static function call. For example: new Insertion.Before(...); new Effect.Opacity(...) Effect.Fade(..); Effect.Appear(...); I havent really looked at the implementation, but out of curiosity, I''m just wondering is there a reason some

how does request.host get set? Is there a way to manually set the value in request.host? I have several application servers running rails, each has its own internal address in the request.host, so when calling redirect_to or url_for function, it uses the internal address which is not accessible to the user. what I want is to set request.host to return mysite.com, no matter which application

Hi, I''m using backgroundrb 0.2.1 and having problem with worker processes staying around when the rails application does not explicitly delete them. Is there a way to automatically delete the worker processes when it has completed the job? Also does killing the process manually (using kill command) harm the backgroundrb server? I have some occasions where the backgroundrb server just

I noticed that backgroundrb does some kind of process queueing now? When I pounded the server to create 1000 workers, there are always only around 30-40 processes running at a time, which is good :) Is there some configuration for adjusting the max process? - reynard -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi, I was just thinking if this simple idea would serve to replace backgroundrb: What if the worker is replaced with just a ruby script (can be anything actually: php, perl, etc) Rails application can just spawn new process by calling this worker script (passing data, and possibly uniq id) The worker script then store the result in database keyed by the uniq id (which is accessible by the Rails

Hi, Is it possible to start a worker with job_key and then ask_status of that specific worker with the job_key? MiddleMan.ask_work(:worker => :auth_worker, :job_key=>''1'', :worker_method => :auth) and then MiddleMan.ask_status(:worker => :auth_worker, :job_key=>''1'') >From my testing of the new backgroundrb, asking status using job key

We have just published a neat little toolkit for those of you who are interested in SAML-enabling your enterprise application. SAML is a standards-based single sign-on protocol, which allows an identity provider to securely log users into an application without a password. Some of the advantages of SAML that you avoid passwords altogether and can centralize access control at your identity

I''m just curious where does the process status get stored? Is it in the backgroundrb process, or some external storage? The reason I''m asking is because I have been doing stress testing by creating thousands of workers (with uniq job_key), each does register_status and exit after it''s done. I have been monitoring the memory usage of the backgroundrb server. At first the

Hi all, I get an error when testing the "store_controller_test.rb" The troublesome line is in the test below: def test_add_to_cart get :add_to_cart, :id => @version_control_book.id <<< cart = session[:cart] assert_equal @version_control_book.price, cart.total_price assert_redirected_to :action => ''display_cart'' follow_redirect

Sorry about the very long email, but this is a hairy topic that''s been annoying me for some time and I decided to try to do something about. Also, if you got this twice, I apologize too, but it didn''t seem to have successfully gone out the first time. Background: ---------- I''ve been dealing with Rails for about a year and a half now. I''ve been using

I just noticed that some CentOS 4 or 5 machine that I don't admin but have root access to hides MySQL passwords from ps: Console 1: $ mysql -u root -pSECRET mysql > Console2: # ps aux root 32165 0.0 0.1 109408 2204 pts/1 Ss+ 11:19 0:00 mysql -u root -px xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx That is really nice, is it a MySQL feature or a CentOS feature?

I''m following Agile Edition 1. On page 148 it suggests using instance variables named after the fixture, for example: assert_equal @version_control_book.id, @product.id When I introduce this type of instance variable into my test, I get the following error: 1) Error: test_not_owner(GroupTest): RuntimeError: Called id for nil, which would mistakenly be 4 -- if you really wanted the

Just released a new version of the _Managed Fixtures_ plugin, previously known as _Export Fixtures_. The name change comes with some added functionality for managing the fixtures, primarily with two new import tasks for importing specific Models or all of them within the test/fixtures directory. Both new import tasks take the exported fixtures, and allow you to directly import one, or all of

Hi folks, I've already configured split DNS for internal-view and external-view. Also already configured the master - slave dns. But i've problem with external-view zone transfer. Based on the logs, the master notify to slave using the public ip, which is not accessible by master to transfering the zone over public ip. Is it possible to transfer zone over local ip for external-view ?

I was trying to deal with foreign key issues related to order of fixture loading when I came across this: http://techpolesen.blogspot.com/2007/04/rails-fixture-tips.html This got me looking deeper into rails and I noticed that db:fixtures:load calls Fixtures.create_fixtures once for each fixture file. However, Fixtures.create_fixtures is capable of taking multiple files and also handle the

Hello, i am trying to fix the code for fixtures in rails because it is buggy and internal variable names are confusing, could somebody please explain to me what is the intended purpose of Fixture and Fixtures classes respectively? For example, why do we need both `Fixtures.initialize`and `Fixture.initialize`? They both "initialize" a single fixture, and in fact `Fixture.initialize`
