Hi all I''ve posted a review of David Black''s book _Ruby for Rails_ on my blog: http://www.robsanheim.com/2006/10/04/ruby-for-rails-by-david-a-black-book-review/ The quick summary: "A fantastic guide to Ruby for programmers of all skill levels - up there with the PickAxe and may even surpasses it". Thought some might find it useful. - Rob --

Having a weird issue where I can migration to version 1, but then go no further, and cannot go back to 0 -- but only from the command line. If I open up script/console I can do migrations just fine - down to 0 or up to 2, via ActiveRecord::Migrator. So I know the migrations must be valid, and I can verify that tables are created or destroyed in the database. Does anyone have any idea why this

Right now, I have the following in my application controller - and a simliar version is duplicated in test_helper. There must be a better way to include common functionality like this that gets used across layers? Maybe at the very least a way to include it at the class level and instance level with one line? # provide access to text helper at class level def self.text_helper

I was wondering if anyone had a quick an easy way to add color to the autotest output. I just want a nice green splash somewhere on success, and red on failure - I miss the Eclipse xUnit plugin''s easy feedback where I didn''t have to read log output. =) - rob -- http://www.robsanheim.com http://www.seekingalpha.com http://www.ajaxian.com

Hi guys, I''m running mocha (0.3.2) against Rails core and just found an issue where the mock doesn''t go away after the test is run. For example: def test_reset_bang_doesn_reinstall_named_routes ActionController::Routing::Routes.named_routes.expects(:install).never @session.reset! end def test_zzz puts ActionController::Routing::Routes.named_routes.inspect

After successfully getting my "productized" sites into production, I decided it was time to get the development environment working (i.e. through "script/server --site=foo"). However, when I go to run a site under Webrick, I get two major errors: (0) Routes don''t seem to work properly, specifically the root-level route gets ignored. Instead,

Hi, What is the correct way to use these functions from inside a plugin? Any example of an existing plugin using this may be appreciated.

This error seems pretty bizarre. I''m using ActionMailer and am using a template in app/views/welcome_mailer/join.rhtml which has this line: <%= link_to :controller => ''group'', :action => ''join'', :group => @group.id, :ic => @code.code %> The error is: undefined method `url_for'' for #<WelcomeMailer: 0x2aaaad4fb470>

I am new to ActionMailer and having a problem. I want to be able to send a notification e-mail when a new item is added to a list. Sending an e-mail to the right people on creation is working fine. However, I want to include in the e-mail a link to the application so that users can click on the link in the e-mail and immediately be taken to the show view for the new item. When I add a link_to

In both url_for and link_to, the :only_path param can be used to determine whether the link url used is complete with hostname and path, or just has the path (a kind of relative url). However, in url_for it defaults to false (urls with hostnames), and in link_to it defaults to true ( urls without hostnames, just paths). Is there any reason for this discrepency? To me, it violates the principle

This is to answer one of my old issues, that I was having using Theme support plugin using with Rails 1.2. When you get an latest edge Rails update and run your application which has Theme support plugin you will get following error /script/../config/../vendor/plugins/theme_support/lib/patches/routeset_ex.rb:26:in `create_theme_routes'': undefined method `named_route'' for

Hi there, I posted earlier asking about testing named routes in functional tests, but got no response, so I''m making my question less specific. It seems from the docs that it''s possible to to test named routes in cases such as: asserts_redirect_to name_url(:param => "whatever") but I haven''t seen any mention of it being used with any other tests and I keep

Hello, I''m a big bookworm, so I decided to round up all the upcoming Ruby books in the market in one big blog post. At my count, there are _sixteen_ books to be released (in print) for the upcoming year, with some available in pdf form right now. Here''s the list: http://www.robsanheim.com/2006/03/23/ruby-and-ruby-on-rails-book-roundup/ Hope its helpful for fellow book nerds

Hello, I''m trying to test routes named within a map.with_options statement. I have in routes.rb: map.with_options :controller => ''films'' do |f| f.overviews ''films/:index'', :action => ''index'', :requirements => { :index => /index(artist|date|title)\.html/ }, :index => ''new'' etc... end and

Hi all I''ve noticed that the mongrel log output when run interactively (via script/server) doesn''t respect environment specific log levels, because the logger is initialized way before the ''development_cached.rb'' file is ever loaded (for example). I''m guessing this is more a Rails issue then a Mongrel issue, so maybe I should open or search for a

Is there a way to ask the Route system what controller and action mapping will be used, given a hash containing :controller and :action? I am trying to generalize the case where there is a button bar (e.g. tabbed pages) having one image shown if you are presently visiting that page, and another shown if you are not presently visiting that page (e.g. an "active" and an

can anyone tell me how to call link_to from within a model class? I''m trying to do something like the following: validates_uniqueness_of :email, :message => "address has already been taken. If you''ve forgotten your password, please click " + link_to(''here'', :action => ''forgot_password'', :controller =>

I''m writing a Rails plugin that builds up a menu in a view. I''m using *link`_`to* to build the link and *current_page?* to set class="active" on the current page. I''ve *include*d *ActionView::Helpers::UrlHelper* so I can use *link`_`to*. To get *current`_`page?* working in the view, I''ve had to inherit the current class (apparently ActionView::Base)

I''m struggling to get switchtower working, and from other posts about it I know it has something to do with ruby binding to open ssl.
