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

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

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. I''m just not sure what I should recompile/reinstall to get things to work. running: "rake remote_exec ACTION=setup" gives me ---> ...executing "mkdir -p -m 775 /usr/apps/hello-rails/releases /usr/apps/hello-rails/shared/system

Would upgrading rails and all dependancies break the installation of the fcgi/mysql bindings? I know I had all this stuff working a month ago or so, but since then I''ve updated a few times... - Rob -- http://www.robsanheim.com/ - blog on java, rails, tdd, agility, and life in general http://www.ajaxian.com/ - the net''s premier ajax blog

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 --

As today seems to be "test day" on the list, I''d like to hear how people are using ZenText. I''m using autotest -rails and it''s made an incredible difference in my productivity. There is mention of using zentest to autogenerate missing test cases. I can''t seem to get this working. Any hints? Thanks, Steve -- View this message in context:

I''ve tried the following line in ruby script/console require ''digest/md5'' Both my Mac (Intel iMac) and my Windows box return "false"... Any ideas what could be wrong? I was trying to do the RoR Recipe on page 54 of Chad Fowler''s new (beta) book. -Mark -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi there, I''m new to rails and I''ve been successful tinkering around but am miffed by the process of trying to connect to my mail server to receive email for ActiveMailer parsing. I''m hosted on TextDrive and have read the following article on the RubyonRails wiki: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToReceiveEmailsWithActionMailer. I want to

I got a new 20 inch iMac dual core today and am busy getting it all setup. A couple of issues though: 1. Is the Ruby 1.8.2 install by Apple still botched or has that been fixed? I recall someone had fixed the rbconfig.rb to get it working. Is this something I still have to do? 2. Does anyone know if Locomotive is using the uniersal binaries, or is it targetting PPC yet? I couldn''t

Hi all Hope this isn''t too far off-topic on this list, as I think it would largely go ignored on the main rails list. I''m looking for the most pragmatic way to speed up our test suite. This is on an established project, and lets just say that we used way too many fixtures when we started =). For example: Finished in 128.870144 seconds. =============== 392 tests, 2106

I installed 1.1.3 on my OS X Tiger machine and now I''m seeing very strange results. When hitting a controller action, I am told that perfectly valid methods are not there: NoMethodError (undefined method `find'' for VideoTrack:Module) Huh? Here''s the code in question: VideoTrack.find(:all, :conditions => "featured_video = 1", :order =>

Hi - Just downloaded and installed the memcache-client and cached_model gems and am trying to test it out on a development setup. I added this to my environment/development.rb CACHE = MemCache.new :c_threshold => 10_000, :compression => true, :debug => true, :namespace => ''eztrip'',

Hi All, I saw spurious mentions on a few blogs of a DVD being made available of RailsConf presentations. However none seemed to have a who/what/when/where attached to them, thus might just be pure speculation. Anyone know of an official source/effort being made for a DVD? Would be well keen for copy if one is to be made available.... Cheers Rowan --- http://raili.st/ -------------- next part

Hey All ! I ended up browsing to Eric Hodel''s blog the other night, and found his entry about the new cache_model and memcache-client. Now, it looks like it''s "officially" out in the open: http://weblog.rubyonrails.com/articles/2006/01/20/caching-models-with-memcached In my application, I''ve been staying away from caching my models, and instead just doing

I have a problem getting find.rb and fileutils.rb to coexist in the same script. When I require both I get the following: /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/find.rb:36:in `dup'': can''t dup NilClass (TypeError) from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/find.rb:36:in `find'' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/find.rb:36:in `find'' I googled for this problem and did not come across any place

Hello, I have a few models -- book, cd, dvd -- for which I''d like to have an abstract base superclass to hold some common stuff. That abstract class, I was thinking, would inherit from ActiveRecord. Didn''t work, though, and looking around, I found this: <http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoMakeAbstractModel>

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

So I''ve used the helper test plugin, and also tried some things from Rails Recipes, and basically neither seems to work for cases where a helper does anything related to link_to/url_for, and this includes calling named_routes. This is obviously an issue, as a common use for helpers is to refactoring something like this: <%= link_to "text that changes slightly", :id => id

Hi ! I''m using daemontools[1] to manage a few processes on my Debian box. Among other things, I use it to manage svnserve, because it uses less memory than Apache. My /service/svnserve/run looks like this: #!/bin/sh su svn -c "/usr/local/bin/svnserve --foreground --daemon --root /var/svn" Is it safe for me to run like that ? If an attacker cracks svnserve, what will they
