I''m trying to produce a plugin to help me with my page caching woes. I can''t seem to get rails to see my method within the plugin. This is my first attempt at a plugin so I''m sure I''m missing something. I''ve created a directory /vendor/lib/plugins/broom_stick/. I then created an init.rb file with: require ''broom_stick'' I then

Hi, in the past few months someone posted an entry on their blog about how to do validations in non-AR classes and I cant find it any more. Anyone have a link? Thanks, Trevor -- Trevor Squires http://somethinglearned.com

All, Although I''ve been keeping an eye on Ruby for several years now, I don''t have a huge amount of experience with it. So please forgive me if I''m missing something obvious. I''m in the process of writing my first really "serious" Rails app and would appreciate your advice. I am wondering if there is a standard idiom for including assertions in

While running tests, we would like to instrument some of the classes under test. We still want the classes to do exactly what they currently do, but we would like them to do more when running in the test environment. Clearly we can (and currently do) just extend the objects "on the fly" where necessary, but this is a bit messy - we''d like some centralised way to always

We have been searching for a Rails deployment architecture which works for us for some time. We''ve recently moved from Apache 1.3 + FastCGI to Apache 2.2 + mod_proxy_balancer + mongrel_cluster, and it''s a significant improvement. But it still exhibits serious performance problems. We have the beginnings of a fix that we would like to share. To illustrate the problem, imagine a

All, I have a controller action that will do a different "render (:action)" call depending on whether or not data is valid. When the data is invalid - I set a flash element to hold a message. However, when I post back to this controller action and have valid data, I still have the flash element set, which I don''t want. I believe this is because I did a render from the

Hey, sorry if this is something better suited to another list. I''ve encountered a strange problem with the RSpec.tmbundle in trunk - namely that it was raising an exception when pressing ctrl-shift-downarrow (switch between spec and source - "Alternate File"). I tracked down the issue to be handling of the file_type in switch_command.rb#content_for() - the code expected the

Can anyone explain this oddity to me? Given two classes as follows: class Question < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :category end class Category < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :questions end I get the following: >> q = Question.find 6789 => #<Question:0x37e9e70 @attributes={"id"=>"6789",

So any other ideas as to why my custom class under app/models is being cached even though all the caching is set to false in the config/environments/* files? Currently I''m having to restart WEBrick after EVERY change to the file. The controllers and views are reloading just fine and not being cached. It''s just the custom class I created that''s being cached. Any ideas

I have a controller method that is attempting to do a render based on a potential error condition. So I have if (condition) render() else ..other code end ....other code in method Should I expect the render to take place immediately or does the render call not work because it isn''t the last statement in the method?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has seen (or completed) an effect to make something ''bounce'' like icons do in the OS X dock when you launch them? Something that looks like there''s a bit of gravitational behavior to it? Thanks, Trevor Trevor Squires http://somethinglearned.com

Will shortly be deploying first iteration of app to some beta testers (i.e. friends), and want them to be able see it both from logged-in view and guest (i.e. not logged-in) view. The two are a fair bit different. It''s a closed beta, so (hopefully) no pages (other than a blank login page) will be visible. The question is, what''s the best way for them to be able to see (and
