similar to: respond_to and Accept headers

Is anyone using RSpec with RESTful rails apps? In my rails controllers I check request.respond_to? and render different views accordingly. I noticed that the get method in the rails plugin doesn''t accept headers: controller_mixin.rb line 92 def get(action, parameters = nil) @request.env[''REQUEST_METHOD''] = ''GET'' process action,

I really like the new mime type handler however I was trying to convert some code and couldn''t figure out how.

I have a custom authentication plugin that redirects users to a login site if they aren''t already authenticated and their session hasn''t timed out. I had things working fine with straight http requests, but wanted to add support for ajax requests. I thought this would be a simple matter of replacing all of my "redirect_to <blah> and return false" calls with

First off, I''m not trying to spec attachment_fu, I know it''s been tested. But, I added some code to that model that I do need to test. Basically, I need to somehow fulfill the "uploaded_data" property so I can actually run my tests(otherwise they fail because of validations). The "uploaded_data" field is what would grab the multipart data from form. Here

I''m having a problem in Rails 2 where respond_to is always rendering the RXML view even in the HTML rendering response. Can anyone tell me why this might be happening? Here''s a code snippet: respond_to do |accepts| accepts.html accepts.xml { render :action => ''show.rxml'', :layout => false} end If I change this to the following it works fine:

acts_as_ferret''s search results use #method_missing to forward method calls to the underlying result object. However, those methods are represented in #respond_to? Here''s a simple fix for that: module FerretMixin module Acts module ARFerret class SearchResults def respond_to?(name) self.methods.include?(name) || @results.respond_to?(name)

Is there a way to add a mime type of my own to respond_to ? There''s html, xml, js, ical etc ... But I want to be able to respond_to Excel. Excel has the following content-type header: application/vnd.ms-excel I want to use the new ?format=xml querystring parameters that respond_to can respond to.

Trying to get an otherwise working app (in Rails 2.0.2) up to speed with Rails 2.1.0 and Ruby 1.8.7, I have some broken code I can''t seem to fix: module Pathmaker def self.append_features( base ) base.before_save do |model| model.path = model.name.downcase. gsub( /\ and\ /, ''-'' ). gsub( /\ on\ /, ''-'' ).

Hello List, I''m trying to generate examples for some list-helpers I have coded which use in my projects. Basically, the Playlist class uses one anonymous module in has_many that acts as helper between acts_as_list and my desired API: class Playlist < ActiveRecord::Base # associations go here has_many :playlist_items, :order => :position, :dependent => :destroy has_many

Hi everyone, I am stuck in an (apparently) simple problem. In my event_controller I have the i_like_it action: def i_like_it @event = Event.find(params[:id]) ... # logic respond_to do |format| format.js end end In my case "i_like_it" is called with :method => PUT (it is an Ajax call, "i_like_it.js.erb" will be returned as a script and it wil be

Hi all, I''m submitting a form using jQuery, but in the respond_to block only the format.html action is called. This is the javascrip: send_button.on(''click'', function(){ var form = $(this).closest(''.modal'').find(''form''); $.post(''/messages'', form.serialize(), function(data, status, xhr){

I''m having some trouble with respond_to to handle multiple request types from a single action. The action: def login return if request.get? #just show the login.rhtml page on HTTP GET self.current_user = User.authenticate(params[:login], params[:password]) respond_to do |type| type.js { render } # renders login.rjs type.html do #fallback for standard

Hello All, I''m trying to figure out how respond_to actually works, especially with the increased focus on REST. After I set a MIME type for Excel Mime::Type.register "application/vnd.ms-excel", :xls In my index action''s respond_to block I have format.xls { @parts = Part.find(:all) headers[''Content-Type''] =

I am playing around with the idea of adding to the HTTP_ACCEPT header method and trying to utilize WURFL for detecting mobile devices by USER_AGENT instead. I''m thinking I will set up some kind of before_filter in my controller, to intercept all requests and compare the USER_AGENT to some data source. If I detect that the USER_AGENT is a mobile device, then I''d like to force a

Greetings, How would I go about handling an unknown type in a respond_to block? That is, I currently have ... respond_to do | format | format.html { do something } format.xml { do something else } end I would like a handler for all other format''s, other than html/xml, so that I can, for example, log the request, render an error or whatnot.
