A lot has been made recently about the need to freeze your gems for production deployment on a shared server so your application can depend on it''s own gem version instead of being subjected to whatever gem is installed on the server, but does this rule of thumb come with an exception? Architecture dependent gems such as RMagick, Ferret and Unicode have dependencies that cannot be

im thinking about extracting this into a plugin, but it currently relies a couple gems and another rails plugin. is there a dependency management feature with ./script/plugin? i never could get it to check anything out of SVN let alone install dependent stuff... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I''m new to mocha and stubba but eager to learn. I have a rails functional test in which I would like to stub an instance method of particular class to always return true. I tried the following: def test_post_checkout Order.any_instance.stubs(:successful?).returns(true) post :checkout assert_response :redirect assert_equal "Checkout was successful.",

Has anyone noticed any problems with the Rails story runner returning a response code of "0" when doing get/post/etc methods? I just grabbed the latest rails/rspec and just started noticing this problem, http://pastie.caboo.se/117497 Regular controller specs pass as expected. -- Josh Knowles phone: 509-979-1593 email: joshknowles at gmail.com web: http://joshknowles.com

Hi All, I''ve been a ASP.NET developer for the last few years and consider it to be a pretty productive environment to work with. However, the object-relational mapping (ActiveRecord) and simplicity of the Rails framework and Ruby in general really appeals to me. .NET currently doesn''t have something like Rails'' ORM - atleast not out-of-the-box. Here''s my

With a rails application I''m trying to access the public/ folder from within a rspec story. I have a controller which redirects to: /public/static_html_page.html I have a story written using webat. This story uses the above controller and it expects the redirection. This story always fails as within the story it cannot follow the redirection (Always gives a 500 error). It does not

Using the brand-spanking new map.resources for REST goodness, is there a way to pass in additional parameters, or do I have to go back to standard routes. For example, is there a way to use the map.resources to response to urls like: /blog/2005/02/03/ => :controller => :blog, :action => :show, :year => 2005, :month => ''02'', :day => ''03''

Hello all. I want to make pagination URLs pretty instead of the ?page=2. I have written a route like this: map.connect ''restaurant/list_dishes/:page'', :controller => ''restaurant'', :action => ''list_dishes'', :requirements => { :page => /\d+/}, :page => nil Which appears to work. However the following only

Hi all, I''m trying to make pretty URLs using routes for some of my actions across different controllers. For example: http://www.example.com/london -> http://www.example.com/articles/show_by_name/london But if the id ''about'' couldn''t be found, then to search for it as another action, this time from the ''branch'' controller.

Hello :-) How can the default omega URL be prettified? http://<host_ID>/cgi-bin/omega is working fine, giving us all omega's default CGI parameters. Now we want multiple databases which could be accessed using http://<host_ID>/cgi-bin/omega?DB=<index_ID> but this is starting to get messy. It will get messier when we start to customise templates with

Hi I am having issues with getting my pretty urls to work. routes.rb: map.connect '':user'' , :controller => ''front'' , :action => ''list'' , :filter => ''user'' front_controller.rb: def list @advert_pages, @adverts = paginate :adverts, :per_page => 10 @user =

Hi I''m using Mocha 0.5.3 and I want to stub out a call to Time.now, just like the example in the post http://blog.floehopper.org/articles/2007/06/08/mocha-0-5-released However, trying it in irb gets me the following error: >> require ''mocha'' => true >> Time.stubs(:now).returns(Time.parse(''Thu Feb 01 00:00:00 UTC 2007'')) NoMethodError:

Hello I have been using LAMP for the last 6 years and i am now finally making the choice to move over to RoR. This MVC stuff is all very new to me. As i have no trouble understanding ruby code... or any code for that matter.. my challange comes in getting my head around the MVC stuff. Is there any demos articles that you guys have seen that takes a site or a business breif and explains where

Hi list I''ve got a bit of a philosophical question. After just having discovered Selenium /Selenium IDE and the rails selenium plugin I''ve realized that it''s a whole lot easier to do functinoal testing than writing the traditional rails functional tests. However it implies that the development database consists of standardized test data (e.g the test & dev

Hi all, I''m fairly new to rails and ruby, but I''ve come across an interesting glitch and I''m not sure whether I''ve just got something wrong with my assumptions or if it really is an error in the underlying framework... I''ve created a bare-bones set of tests to show you where the problem is. What follows are the steps I went through to reproduce the

Hey all, I got annoyed recently that I couldn''t specifiy multiple chunks of test setup and teardown code that get executed for each test. You''re currently limited to just one setup method (unless I''m much mistaken). Anyway, I just wrapped up my solution in a plugin. The answer: use blocks! class Test::Unit::TestCase # This is overridden by the subclass and will

Hello all. I don''t suppose some enterprising soul with much more skill than me has whipped up a "validates_dateness_of" (Complete with leap year calculations) method for use with all the other validation methods and wishes to spread much much joy?

I am running an lme model with the main effects of four fixed variables (3 continuous and one categorical – see below) and one random variable. The data describe the densities of a mite species – awsm – in relation to four variables: adh31 (temperature related), apsm (another plant feeding mite) awpm (a predatory mite), and orien (sampling location within plant – north or south). I have read

Hey all, I''d like to abstract the process of updating different portions of the page after an Ajax request has taken place. Rather than simply putting the extra view logic in the standard rjs template, it seems to give better separation if there is a split between the core view logic (ie, inserting a row in a table), and updating any associated portions of the page. Is this possible? I

Hey all, I''ve just put together a little plugin to easily access the neighbours of a given model in a particular order. Read on if interested.
