similar to: how can I control when to commit a transaction?

I''m wondering whether I''m wasting my time trying to verify that an addition I''ve made to legacy code is in fact setting a new attribute on a model. Substruct''s (http://dev.subimage.com/projects/substruct) OrderHelper contains this method: 1 def create_order_from_post 2 @use_separate_shipping_address = params[:use_separate_shipping_address]

I have the following models: class Order < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :billing_address belongs_to :shipping_address accepts_nested_attributes_for :billing_address accepts_nested_attributes_for :shipping_address, :reject_if => proc { |attributes| attributes[''has_shipping_address''] != ''1'' } def after_initialize self.build_billing_address

I would like to have a customer that has references to two addresses, a billing address and a shipping address. In a non-rails environment I would have two keys in the customers table, billing_address_id and shipping_address_id to reference the addresses. It appears that ActiveRecord expects the parent id to reside in the child table, regardless of whether the relationship is one-to-one or

Hello, I posted a similar email, earlier in the week, but I still must not be getting it. I have a customer that aggregates two addresses; a shipping address and a billing address. Addresses can also be referenced by other objects in a similar way, so I would really like to avoid putting the keys referencing the customer or other objects in the addresses table. Addresses are exclusively

I''ve been searching the web, wikis, and more, and I haven''t turned up examples of how to have multiple entities in a single-table inheritance related to anything. I have an addresses table, but multiple entities can have Addresses: both Person (which has 2 addresses) and Retailer. I''ve been told that I need to use single-table inheritance, and this was my attempt:

I''m working on a small project with a friend, and one of the things we needed to do was send off an email whenever someone signs up an account. His implementation was pretty simple - throw a deliver_welcome call inside the controller after the signup. I''m sure that this is a pretty common thing to do. The problem, in my mind, was that the app now became tied to two places -

Please understand in the following that I am making relatively minor changes to legacy (non-TDD/BDD) code in Substruct and don''t have the time to refactor nicely right now. I''m just trying to get past the untested/un-speced cruft quickly to write the spec for my new code, so I''m looking for expediency over prettiness. I''m specifying before( :each ) do

I may be totally wrong about what the fields_for method is supposed to do, but for some reason I thought using it scoped an object around an association. For example, I have a User class and when you''re creating a new user I want to use fields_for to add a BillingAddress to the user like so: <%- fields_for :billing_address do |billing_address_form| -%> <%= render :partial

How do I get ''save'' to execute without commit? I have tried: ActiveRecord::Base.connection.begin_db_transaction # do some stuff that doesn''t issue a database COMMIT statement # then: @myObject.save # this issues a COMMIT but it shouldn''t! Shouldn''t it wait until I''ve called: ActiveRecord::Base.connection.commit_db_transaction ? what am

I''m trying to figure out the Rails way to model the following problem: I have 2 tables. One (let''s call it location) contains a single address. The other (let''s call it company) contains 3 address. I''m trying to figure out the best way to model this. I''ve created an address table, a set up the model as follows: class Address <

Hello I''ve now read a lot about application-level authentication in Rails, but I need to do database-level authentication. The reason is that my database needs to have the current_user (database current_user, not current_user defined in an ActiveRecord Model) set to execute triggers for automatically updating audit tables. So it is not enough to have a session check against a User

Hi has anyone managed to use update_all with rails on postgres?

I am relatively new to rails and I cannot figure out what is going on here. I am using the composed_of method in an ActiveRecord class to create two aggregate properties: shipping_address and billing_address. The object properties are getting populated from the form and validation is working - no problem. When I call order.save, though, everything is being saved except the address fields. I am not

Hi All I wanted a little advice on the convention for namespace usage and organisation of code. I originally used PHP and often had an "admin" backend that performed the various admin tasks with users, and data Then I had a front-end often situated at the root that had user services. I''m trying to emulate this in Rails but feel I''m missing a significant point here and

What are the limitations on using: errors.add_to_base to display errors in views? I have tried for days to add errors from my object.rb and they never get displayed. class Keyword < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of(:name, :message => "Name is required.") validates_uniqueness_of(:name, :message => "This name is already in use.

problem: webrick will start a rails server, but I cannot access my application.

I am not sure if this is a bug in ActiveRecord or is this the intended behavior. If it is then it does not make sense to me. In a nutshell: If you change an aggregate object attribute created via composed_of method (see Agile Web Development - Second Edition Chapter 17 page 313 onwards) and then save the model, the change to the model (composite attribute specifically) will not be saved UNLESS

The Rails API doc (api.rubyonrails.org) says that :autosave is still a valid option for belongs_to in the latest version of Rails. However, a look at the activerecord/lib/active_record/associations.rb (line 1590) reveals that it is not in the @@valid_keys_for_belongs_to_association array. I also noticed that it''s not in the ActiveRecord API doc (ar.rubyonrails.org). Does anyone have any
