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

I''m trying to understand the ''Big Picture'' of how Ruby on Rails applications are deployed and operate in distributed environment (one deployment server, many remote servers). I follow AWD by Dave Thomas'' explanation from pages 624-626. From reading these pages I have these questions; 1. How does the RonR instance on the ''remote'' server gain

I''m fairly new to Rails, and I''ve been learning from AGILE WEB DEVELOPMENT WITH RAILS. Everything has been going smoothly until the chapter on Unit Testing, where I''m getting some strange errors. I''m up to page 141 in the Agile book, and attempting to run the test program containing the method test_read_with_hash. The previous tests work properly, but I

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

Greetings! I''m having a hard time understanding the way Rails handles urls. I''m specifically having real trouble with the image_urls in the Depot app in the Agile Web Development book. If I enter "\image\file.png" in the Add Product page, the image is displayed in the other views and Properties shows http://localhost:3000/images/file.png If I leave off the leading

While running the product_test.rb test fixture in the Agile Web Development book (p. 148), but when I run ruby test/unit/product_test.rb, I get the following error: 1) Error: test_read_with_hash(ProductTest): NoMethodError: You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! You might have expected an instance of Array. The error occured while evaluating nil.[]

I have a MySQL "text" element that I''m trying to display, but it''s not formatting (i.e. it''s all one big paragraph). In the AWD depot example it doesn''t look like they do anything special, but they get formatted text. I''ve tried it with both: <%= show.description %> - puts text, and formats according to any HTML tags I typed in.

I''ve been creating my tables using the command line approach Dave advocates in AWD. I just noticed that they''re being created as MyISAM-type tables. I remember reading (but not where) that I should be creating these as InnoDB-type tables. So, two questions... 1) Is the table type important? (a "why" component to the answer would be nice too ;-) ) 2) If so, is

I recently got a copy of the second addition in PDF and got stuck on the Ajax portion using highlighting page 128. While trying to make my cart flash I got an RJS error when I click add to cart. I have gone back and made sure my code matched what was in the book but no help. I sent Dave an email and he rec''d this list. Anybody got any good links for troubleshooting Ajax or maybe have see

Can anyone point me to an example of how to use the Insertion.Before technique? I''ve just begun trying to use AJAX and worked through Curt''s "Ajax on Rails". The description in AWD of what this does is just what I need, there''s no example of how to use it, and I''m getting no joy using Google. Any help is tremendously appreciated. -------------- next

I bought the second edition of the ruby on rails, it seems to work fine now, did some adjustments to the code. But now I get a second error and I want to learn to understand to fix them myself.

Hi There Is active record 3.1.1 supposed to be threadsafe? In other words, should the following (concurrent access to a model) work? Thread.new do MyModel.where(some_condition).first end Thread.new do MyModel.where(some_condition).first end I ask because upon the answer, it depends which component should handle synchronization, and in consequence, which component to patch/fix.
