similar to: Rails and Ruby 1.8.2 -- Is there a Security Issue?

I got a new 20 inch iMac dual core today and am busy getting it all setup. A couple of issues though: 1. Is the Ruby 1.8.2 install by Apple still botched or has that been fixed? I recall someone had fixed the rbconfig.rb to get it working. Is this something I still have to do? 2. Does anyone know if Locomotive is using the uniersal binaries, or is it targetting PPC yet? I couldn''t

I''ve tried the following line in ruby script/console require ''digest/md5'' Both my Mac (Intel iMac) and my Windows box return "false"... Any ideas what could be wrong? I was trying to do the RoR Recipe on page 54 of Chad Fowler''s new (beta) book. -Mark -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi there, I''m new to rails and I''ve been successful tinkering around but am miffed by the process of trying to connect to my mail server to receive email for ActiveMailer parsing. I''m hosted on TextDrive and have read the following article on the RubyonRails wiki: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToReceiveEmailsWithActionMailer. I want to

Hi - Just downloaded and installed the memcache-client and cached_model gems and am trying to test it out on a development setup. I added this to my environment/development.rb CACHE = MemCache.new :c_threshold => 10_000, :compression => true, :debug => true, :namespace => ''eztrip'',

I installed 1.1.3 on my OS X Tiger machine and now I''m seeing very strange results. When hitting a controller action, I am told that perfectly valid methods are not there: NoMethodError (undefined method `find'' for VideoTrack:Module) Huh? Here''s the code in question: VideoTrack.find(:all, :conditions => "featured_video = 1", :order =>

As today seems to be "test day" on the list, I''d like to hear how people are using ZenText. I''m using autotest -rails and it''s made an incredible difference in my productivity. There is mention of using zentest to autogenerate missing test cases. I can''t seem to get this working. Any hints? Thanks, Steve -- View this message in context:

Hey All ! I ended up browsing to Eric Hodel''s blog the other night, and found his entry about the new cache_model and memcache-client. Now, it looks like it''s "officially" out in the open: http://weblog.rubyonrails.com/articles/2006/01/20/caching-models-with-memcached In my application, I''ve been staying away from caching my models, and instead just doing

Hello, I have a few models -- book, cd, dvd -- for which I''d like to have an abstract base superclass to hold some common stuff. That abstract class, I was thinking, would inherit from ActiveRecord. Didn''t work, though, and looking around, I found this: <http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoMakeAbstractModel>

Hi! I''m trying to extend ActiveRecord''s find method (Rails 1.0, Ruby 1.8.2), but I recognize a strange behaviour of the "alias_method" call. I wrote a very simple script to explain my problem: ------------------------------------------------------ module ActiveRecordExtension def self.included(base) base.extend(ClassMethods) base.class_eval do

I have a problem getting find.rb and fileutils.rb to coexist in the same script. When I require both I get the following: /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/find.rb:36:in `dup'': can''t dup NilClass (TypeError) from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/find.rb:36:in `find'' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/find.rb:36:in `find'' I googled for this problem and did not come across any place

Hi ! I''m using daemontools[1] to manage a few processes on my Debian box. Among other things, I use it to manage svnserve, because it uses less memory than Apache. My /service/svnserve/run looks like this: #!/bin/sh su svn -c "/usr/local/bin/svnserve --foreground --daemon --root /var/svn" Is it safe for me to run like that ? If an attacker cracks svnserve, what will they

It includes a patch for Ruby. I have already installed 1.8.4 from source, and updated my PATH to look in /usr/local first, so I don''t imagine that anything Apple does to "their" copy of Ruby will have any impact on me, but I''m wondering if the changes to their Ruby is something that needs to be done to 1.8.4 as well. Thoughts? Walter

for many versions of ruby, and as many versions of rails, ive been unable to generate docs without deleting this file: lib/rails_generator/generators/components/controller/templates/controller.rb ruby just chews more and more memory until swap fils up and the system has to be reset.. m gems # rdoc --version RDoc V1.0.1 - 20041108 ruby --version ruby 1.8.5 (2006-06-22) [x86_64-linux]

Hello! I have certain methods in my Application Controller, that I need to access. Namely ApplicationController#logged_in_user The problem is, that when I try to access it, I get: NoMethodError: protected method `logged_in_user'' called for #<AdminController> Any ideas how I can circumvent that? Or are functional tests really not suited for any kind of logins and session work?

Is there such a thing? I have some duplicate methods in my models, can I place them somewhere and call them in to my models, thus keeping DRY? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Could someone please elaborate on the technical differences and practical impact of whether choosing memory-based tables in MySQL or using memcached. I got this far on my own: It seems that MySQL uses the NDB engine for transaction-safe memory access in a cluster. the memory storage engine seems to be faster but not synchronizable by any means in a cluster. memcached seems to be ultimately fast

Hello, >From purely a memory consumption standpoint, is it generally more efficient to run a simple Rails app using WEBrick alongside a separate apache installation or to run Rails under FCGI and use Apache to bridge to the Web? I have looked through lots of docs and old forum posts. Most seem to center on just getting Apache+Rails running, or on speed. I am really not concerned about my

All, This is probably a bit more of a mac question, but here goes. (Admission: I posted this to ruby-talk as well....) I am trying to use rdoc -d to generate class diagrams on a mac running Tiger (OS X 10.4) for a rails app. I managed to get dot installed, but now am running into problems with dot looking for libraries that either do not exist or are apparently in the wrong place. I probably made

Hi! I am looking for a solution for the following problem: Some of my models share some attributes and also was in need for some extra features, so I created a class "RecordWithFeatures": ----------------------------------------------------------------- class RecordWithFeatures < ActiveRecord::Base # @Override def self.descends_from_active_record? superclass ==
