Hello I''m using the ''act_as_authenticated'' plugin to implement a small and simple authentication system in my app. Everything is working just fine and the world is a better place to live in. The plugin creates a ActiveRecord observer in order to send the newly registered user a confirmation e-mail. Per the API docs [1], one should declare the observer in the

Hi all. I''ve got a simple AR Observer: class NewOrderObserver < ActiveRecord::Observer observe NewOrder def after_create(object) Note.create(...) end end In environment.rb I have the following line: config.active_record.observers = :new_order_observer And in application.rb I have: NewOrderObserver.instance Aside from simply not working, it''s causing

I need to add an ActiveRecord observer and thought I should follow Rails 2 intent by not changing the base environment.rb I create a file config/initializers/observers.rb but don''t know what to add to it. I can''t add: config.active_record.observers = :user_observer Since "config" isn''t defined in the scope of the initializer file and I don''t know if

Hi, I''m developing a Rails app which uses dynamic forms. To implement these, I''ve used AJAX and Rails''s built-in form observers. Unfortunately, I''m having a problem. This is how the form starts: * Country select box [OBSERVED] (Republic of Ireland selected) * County select box [OBSERVED] (none selected, list of Republic of Irish counties in the drop down)

I was just wondering what about a report that I made almost 2 months ago: Active Record observers broken<https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/4087-activerecord-observers-cant-be-used-for-before-callbacks> I think it''s a pretty big bug. In Rails 3, creating an observer with a "before_save" callback (for instance) will result in all observed models being

Hello all! I''m having an issue with Observers, and I''m hoping someone knows the answer. Here is the definition: app/models/vehicle_observer.rb > class VehicleObserver < ActiveRecord::Observer > def after_save(vehicle) > breakpoint > if vehicle.has_new_mil_indication? > UserMailer.deliver_mil_notice(vehicle) > end > end > end

I''m spec''ing a model with an observer that sends mail. Mailers behave similarly to controllers, so to make the whole thing work, I believe something like integrate_views has to be available. Has anyone dealt with observers and ActionMailer? Thanks

Observers will be no more as of Rails 4, farewell, never been much of a fan. However, I''m using it in one of my gems which enables model attributes for use with a WYSIWYM editor. The resulting markup is persisted, but in order to use it in a view, it has to be nokogiried in a helper which fragment caches the result. This cache has to be zapped once the model instance is either

When specing observers I usually put them into models directory under / spec. Then, when specs are run observer class can''t be found unless I remove --load-by mtime from spec.opts. My question is what''s the Big Idea behind loading specs in that order by default? Shouldn''t default spec.opts contain just formatting options? Because as you see it DOES cause problems

Am i wrong or do ActiveRecord observers not work in mongrel? Is there a work around for this? I am 100% sure of this because in my observer i put raise "whatever". Whenever I try update the model using the mongrel server I get a successful save. If I do it in webrick I get an exception raised. Any ideas what I should do? Because webrick is pretty annoying to work with. Thank

Hey Guys, I''m getting a peculiar bug working with Observers and has_one associations. When a has_one association is invoked by an Observer it always returns null. I looked in the development.log file and the SQL for the has_one association isn''t even being executed. On the other hand, when I replace the has_one association with just a hand crafted method, it does get called

Rails Guides says: ...the UserObserver ... would be saved as app/models/user_observer.rb and registered in config/environment.rb this way: config.active_record.observers = :user_observer But the observer registration above doesn''t work because there is no ''config''. For now, I''ve put it in the config/environments/[APP_ENV].rb but that seems really sloppy and

Hello all first post so be kind, Is there a way to use association callbacks on model observers? For instance if I have a has_and_belongs_to_many association on my model I can add a private method for instance to be called on the :after_add, is there a way to move this to an observer I have created for this model? Thanks .FxN -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

In most of my tests I''d like to be able to stub out the observers for my models, but I''m not sure the best way to do this. I doesn''t look like there is a way to stub all instance methods, and I don''t seem to be able to stub early enough to stub out the observer as it''s instantiated. I can think of several hackish ways to get around it, but I was

Hello, I need some help on how to use the Event.observers - thank you in advance for your input. <div class="navcontainer"> <ul id="nav"> <li class="button"> <img src="images/spacer.gif" width="20" height="20"> </li> <li class="button"> <img

Greetings, I'd like to thank everyone that has responded to my original email. I have received information from several companies, and will be testing several of them. I also would like to update a statement from my original message to clarify it: >My strikelist: nufone, voicepulse, iax/sixtel The strikelist is just a list of carriers that didn't meet the needs a resonable

I have a Rails model that has an observer. The function of the observer is to send an email when a particular state change occurs in the model. Because the template rendering code is not loaded when doing model testing, I''ve had to shut off the email functionality of the observer for testing. Is there a better way to handle this? Thanks

Hi all, I''m developing a site where a user can upload their CV/resume with a profile, and am using restful_authentication for this with attachment_fu to handle the file uploading. When a user creates their profile/user account, I''ve got an observer that will email the site admin with a copy of the uploaded CV. My user_observer looks something like: class UserObserver <

Hi all ! I''m having an issue and I can''t seem to make heads or tails of it. I am attempting to add an observer to a model object. I created app/models/greenback_transaction_observer.rb, inherited from AR::Observer, defined methods, registered in config/environment.rb, but things don''t work... So, I took a step back and put in the following code: class
