I don''t think this is a problem for me. My question really boils down to: def index @projects = current_user.projects.active end My spec needs to return the proxy, no ? Here''s my code: context "A

I''m in the process of creating a sign up form for an online application. The form collects account info, company info, and then info for an administrative user. The method looks like this: def create @account = Account.create!(params[:account]) @company = @account.companies.create!(params[:company]) @user = @company.users.create!(params[:user]) end However, this inevitably fails

Hi, has anyone come across any incompatibilities between file_column and login_engine? I''ve been having strange issues where a User model with file_column in it is failing to save the images properly. Everything uploads to the tmp dir fine, but then it never gets copied to the proper permanent location. No errors - everything happens fine except for that final part. I have

I''m trying to deploy an app on Dreamhost and I''m getting the infamous 500 Server Error. Nothing in the rails logs because it looks to be happening before it gets there.

Greetings! I''m attempting to use the act_as_versioned plugin to provide versioning functionality for my rails app, but can''t think my way through this: How can you use act_as_versioned to perform versioning on a HABTM join table?
