We''re still just starting out with Mocha/Stubba, so please forgive any newbie errors. I''m using "stubs" to test some realtime functions, to control exactly which time is returned from Time.now. I would expect the following test to pass: def test_two_stubs t = Time.now - 60 Time.stubs(:now).returns(t) start_time = Time.now t += 20

Greetings! I could use some advice on which version of BackgrounDrb to use in my current situation. I''ve implemented the initial, single-process multi-threaded version in a previous site, but have no experience with the new version. Current situation is as follows. The application involves personal health information and so has very stringent session management requirements. My

Hey all, In my code, it seems that when I divide two integers, the result is an integer. Is there any way to make it such that when I divide two integers, the result is a double?

This problem was reported to me by a friend who has an LLVM port that is not put back to open source. Essentially, there is an intrinsic call _lr which is a load register. so then user code has something like: start_time = _lr(TIMER_REGISTER) ..... some_code_to_time .... end_time = _lr(TIMER_REGISTER) So what happens is that LLVM moves the code as follows: start_time = _lr(TIMER_REGISTER)

Hi Xiph.org Team. We are using opusfile library <https://github.com/xiph/opusfile> for streaming *.opus* audio in our projects. But now we have a problem with building opusfile library for android with *ndk-build*. In particular, with arm64-v8a platform: Google removed <sys/timeb.h> from android. And now building opusfile with nkd-build crashes with error "fatal error:

I can''t for the life of me figure this out. Been banging my head on this since the weekend, and can''t see what I''m doing wrong. This code works: image.resize("640x480") image.write(path) I run this and I get the resized file just fine. This doesnt work at all: width = 200 height = 100 dimensions = "#{width}x#{height}"

Hello-- There must be a better way to do this. I have a class method in my model that finds averages and does a few calculations using find_by_sql. The problem I¹m encountering is that all computed columns from MySQL come back as type string. E.g., def self.find_averages(domain_id) if @@domain_average return @@domain_average else @@domain_average =

Hi there, I''ve been experimenting with implementing BackgroundDRb in my rails app but am running into some problems. The primary problem I''m getting is in cleaning up worker threads, or getting any kind of response out of worker threads. If try using the response function/hash in my Worker the worker will not execute reporting that response is an unknown variable or function.

i''m having some problems getting a simple example going with backgrounDRB. after i set my worker to work i try to get back the result like this: w = MiddleMan.worker(key) w.items comes back as DRb::DRbUnknown (i have items as attr_reader in my worker and access it inside there with @items). the result is actually activerecord results in an array. when i change it so my worker puts

Hello everyone! I''ve noticed, that the book uses double quotes almost everywhere. It is like <%= javascript_include_tag "prototype" %> I''ve checked the "programming ruby, 2ed" book and found that double quotes are most suited when escape sequences and substitutions are required. Isn''t it more semantically correct to write this code like

Using the small reproducible example below, I'm wondering how best to complete the following task: In the small reproducible example below, the 3D array prec has indexes that correspond to time, x, y (i.e., prec[time, x, y]). In this case, the time index is hours since some predefined start time. I'd like to add up all the time indexes in 'prec' based on whether or not the

Hi, I am trying to run Mongrel on win32 to serve an internal rails application. We are accessing legacy data, and some transactions can take 5 to 10 seconds. This is holding up every other request. The -n does not seem to be supported on Win32. Am I missing something, or should I look elsewhere to serve my Rails app on win32? Thanks, Walt -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Hi, Is there an easy way of querying an active record for a maximum column value? I need to do queries like: SELECT MAX(salary) FROM employees TIA, Jeroen

Hi all - To avoid floating point issues, I''ve decided to store monetary values in cents in the database. However, the user will enter these in dollars and cents. Two questions: 1) How do I do the validation for the currency format? It looks like ActiveRecord truncates the cents since it thinks the field type is a Fixnum. Am I forced to do validation in the controller? 2) Where
