similar to: Working around the year 2038 bug in Ruby''s Time class?

this is semi-off topic but still related to ror. i had a problem with testing my depot program (which i follow the tutorial in agile web development book). it took me many hours to solved the problem. all the while i thought i was using spaces inside the test/fixtures/products.yml programmer_book: id: 1 title: Pragmatic Programmer description: Best book

Hello! I''m new to Ruby and Rails, but have been reading along here, and searched the archives and didn''t see anything addressing some concerns I have with using Rails and Firebird. I prefer Firebird when it is available, and I''m very pleased to see that others have gotten it working with Ruby. I have been trying to use it with Rails, with mixed success.

I cant figure out how to do global regular expressions in ruby. Im not even sure if its possible. In the "Programming Ruby" book there is no mention of it. Can you do this? text = "aaa1 bbb2 ccccc3 dddddd4 eee5" re = /\w+\d{1}/ matches = re.match text m[0] = "aaa1" m[1] = nil m[2] = nil and so on.... Is there any way to get an array of all the matches??

Being a somewhat jaded Java programmer I''ve decided to make an evaluation of Ruby and Rails. I''ve purchased both the Pragmatic books (Programming Ruby, Agile Web Development with Rails) and I''d like to get people''s opinions as to the best way to use them. When you were learning Rails did you find that you had to read Programming Ruby first or did you

Greetings all, This is the first release of the SuperImage plugin. The idea is you upload images to the database, and then pull them out at any size you want. Combine this with caching and it will stay light and fast. More info and instructions are here: http://beautifulpixel.textdriven.com/articles/2006/04/27/superimage-plugin-making-resizeable-uploaded-images-easy svn:

Greetings all, I''m sure there is probably a very obvious reason for the following problem. However, after much hair pulling, I am just not seeing it yet. As you can see from the trace below, I am not able to complete scaffold generation due to some problem between rails and mysql. I double checked MySQL to make sure both my Ruby user and Root user have full rights to the database.

I have a SQL Server column named StartTime of (SQL Server) type datetime If I attempt to set the attribute using public def StartTime=(time) write_attribute(:StartTime, "{ts ''1899-12-30 #{time.hour}:#{time.min}:#{time.sec}''}") end it''s inserting a NULL value. Anyone else able to successfully insert a date time value into a SQL Server table using

What''s going on here!? >> Date.new.to_time.to_i NoMethodError: undefined method `to_i'' for Mon, 01 Jan -4712 00:00:00 -0800:DateTime from (irb):25 >> Date.today.to_time.to_i => 1245308400 >> RUBY_VERSION => "1.8.7" >> Rails.version => "2.1.1" (I''m not sure if this is a rails thing, or just a ruby thing) --

So I am designing a railsapp that indexes school organizations such as clubs and frats/sororities. I have decided to represent this as a graph, and that each entity is going to be just represented as a node, and the relationship between each node is going to be an edge. so basically, a frat such as "Alpha Beta Gamma" is represented as a node, and its chapters also as seperate nodes,

An application that run without flaw last week has been reported to crash with an error that says that a conversion from char to datetime has given a date outside range. This very application runs OK today in production (fortunately :-), and the difference in both SQL Servers is just that the one where the exception has started to appear has Spanish conventions. I can''t give

Maaaaaaaaaaaaajor sanity check needed. I wrote a simple little plugin, and it wouldn''t load. I put some comments in it''s init.rb, and it didn''t even spit those out. So, I dug into the initializer.rb (/vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer.rb) to see wtf is going on, and found the problem... but... can''t explain it. Here is the code in question:

I am trying to subit some xml data over https to access an API. My code so far seems to generate a very non-helpful error in the guts of the net/http library. This code produces a NoMethodError for nil.strip" require ''net/http'' require ''net/https'' require ''uri'' url =

I have a plugin that I am working on that will as part of its distribution contain a controller. I would like to be able to add a route for it in the plugin''s init.rb so that when the plugin is loaded, the route will automatically be registered without having to force the user to edit routes.rb or even make a rake task to do it for them. I saw the following code in one of the SVN

In the patch series I posted recently [1], I introduce new system calls to deal with modified data structures, but left the question open on how these should be best accessed from libc. The patches introduce a new __kernel_time64_t type and based on that five new data structured: struct __kernel_timespec, struct __kernel_itimerspec, struct __kernel_stat, struct __kernel_rusage, and struct

Hey all, I am wondering if anyone has given thought to using REST / XPath as querying mechanism. That way you could have a URL that actually maps to a collection of records (objects, really) that meet a certain criteria and that are sorted a certain way. Mike Pence

I am trying to create the perfect development environment for rails and i dont know exactly which way to go. Do i create a windows environment or a *nix environment. If i go *nix, what distro is best suited for rails. I would be using mysql, so that would come in to play. If i go *nix, i would use apache. Any ideas for the right environment would be greatly appreciated. I guess the major choice is

I''ve started an app with rails 1.1.6 then ran freeze_edge. My app will not run with rails in the vendor folder. Have I forgot to do something? I"ve been without the internet for the last two months. Has something changed?

Hello, Testing systems for Y2038 safety is done by setting the clock to after 2038, and then running all available test suites. This however requires that actual Y2038 issues are not masked by key expiry errors (when tests hardcode expiry dates), and this is what happens in this particular test. I've submitted a fix here: https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/pull/425 and here:

Has anyone been able to get script/server to successfully use lighttpd on a Windows box? When I try to start the server I get: PROBLEM: Lighttpd is not available on your system (or not in your path) So then I add "C:\lighttpd\sbin" to the path for the console session, and it still fails with the same error. If anyone has some success with this I sure would like to know. Webrick
