Hello, I''m trying to write a rails application serves by mongrel and using accentuated characters in the .rhtml page. But Mongrel replace them by ''?'' . It works fine for static pages by defining the charset to iso-8859-1 in the mongrel_mime.yml But how to change the default encoding (seems to be UTF-8) for the dynamic pages ? thanks for your help. -------------- next

While trying to debug a goofy XML loading issue in IE, I''ve found that Mongrel (latest) returns Content-Type: 0 with every request on a particular (CentOS 4) server, yet not on my local (OS X) box. These both access identical Rails apps. This seems like a clue, but thought I''d ask here if for some reason this is expected behavior. Both running Ruby 1.8.4. Both return

On one of my development servers mongrel dies when idle for any length of time. Since I''ve not been able to solve that problem I thought I''d route around it by using monit to kick things when necessary. My monitrc contains the following... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- check process mongrel_8310 with pidfile

Hello, I''ve just started using Mocha in the tests for my Rails app, and I''ve run across an issue with mocking a method that should be called with different parameters. How would I setup a mock that expects that a method will be called once with no paramaters, and a second time with a parameter? I''d be tempted to shortcut and just do something like

Hello all, I''m having difficulty setting up mocks such that I can verify that Rails was going to render the right template file (for example new.rhtml) and stop Rails from performing the actual rendering. After peeking at Rails'' internals, I tried two techniques as illustrated here: http://pastie.caboo.se/18197 Neither worked. I think the first one failed because Rails

I''m simultaneously getting into using Mocha and RSpec-style tests (courtesy of the simply_bdd plugin) and I''m struggling with some issues while trying to organize my specs/test. Here''s a code example illustrating the problem: context "update cliient invalid data" do include ClientsControllerSpecHelper specify "should render edit form" do

I just created a new rails project "test". I then did "switchtower --apply-to ~/user/test test" I then moved into test and tried "rake restart" and got: kfelkins@lurch:~/user/test$ rake restart (in /home/kfelkins/user/test) rake aborted! Don''t know how to build task ''restart'' I see restart in deploy. Can restart be invoked from the

I tried running a spec with command-r in TextMate and got: /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/RSpec.tmbundle/Support/ lib/spec_mate.rb:1:in `require'': No such file to load -- rubygems (LoadError) from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ RSpec.tmbundle/Support/lib/spec_mate.rb:1 from /tmp/ temp_textmate.GplhPr:3:in `require'' from

I had posted a thread couple of weeks ago whereby mongrel just mysteriously stops interacting with my application after an idle period...usually less than 8 hours. http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/mongrel-users/2007-February/002908.html I had hoped this would go away after a few upgrades but to know avail. Interestingly, the process does not die...it still accepts HTTP requests but does not

I am completely baffled by this one - My guess is that there is no pure ruby way to do this - but how could I set up a spec to test that one method is an alias of another? Thanks for any help, Scott

Hey all, Trying to get feel for RSpec usage so I''m taking a straw poll... What''s the largest project you''ve used RSpec on in terms of app LOC app and spec LOC? Also, how long have you been using RSpec in "production" code? -Bryan

I''ve followed the install the install guide on http://hivelogic.com/articles/2005/12/01/ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger and it seemed to work. And I''ve been following the Instant Gratifiction guide in Chapter four in Agile Web Development with Rails book. I''m in terminal and I type - cd work (everything works fine) then rails demo (everything seems to work) then cd

Hello, in the tunk, i found a new style for spec: describe Foo do it "should do bar" do ... end end instead of context "Foo" context "should do bar" ... end end The Rails-Textmate-bundle in trunk use only the new "describe-it" style, What are the reasons for the new style ? Shall i use the new style from now on ? Hussein

If I have a step matcher defined as so: Given "a user named $username" do |username| .... end Is there a way to call it from another step? For example: Given "a user named $username with a blog post |username| given_a_user_named(username) # calls existing step code # create a blog post end Cheers, -- Bryan Helmkamp http://brynary.com -- My blog

Hello, I need to read a vector containing names of different variables from a text file (a unique column). Among them one is called "T". When I use the function read.table with default arguments and when I call the element of the data frame corresponding to name of this variable it returns me the logical value "TRUE" whereas I was expected it to return the character

Hey guys, We developed this plugin while writing my first real set of RSpec stories. It''s still missing a lot of functionality, but it''s useful to us as is, so I''m shipping 0.1.0. (Patches welcome. :) ) Code is available at: http://svn.eastmedia.net/public/plugins/webrat/ What do you think? -Bryan Here''s the README:

Hello, Is it possible to build a function, a posteriori, by getting the names of the arguments and the formula in a list or a vector ? When I use the function as.function(), I don't know how to define explicitly the names of my variables as formal arguments.

I admit it, when it comes to rSpec, I''m lazy. I''ve made a few feeble attempts to use it, but for once I''m waiting for a book-length treatment. At least two books were announced, I think. Can anyone in the know please report on their progress? Thanks Michael -- Michael Schuerig mailto:michael at schuerig.de http://www.schuerig.de/michael/

Dear R-user, I am trying to use the function 'parLapply' from the 'snow' package which is supposed to work the same wys as 'lapply' but for a parallelized cluster of computers. The function I am trying to call in parallel is 'dudi.pca' (from the 'ade4' package) which performs principal component analyses. When I call this function on a list of

I''m a 50 year old mainframe programmer from the Netherlands that has just started his RoR journey with a GREAT idea for a project to enter for Railsday2006. To quote Geoffrey Grosenbach in an email when I approached him to help me realize the project; ?That''s an interesting idea.? & ?It could be a great project for RailsDay? Sorry for name dropping Geoffry, but I need
