I have an input field with an id which has a value. The web_steps.rb method does not find the value. Is this the right step to use to check an input field? It works fine for a text_area but not an input. Scenario steps (tried both ways): Then the "travel_card_number_gate" field should contain "5" Then the "#travel_card_number_gate" field should contain "5"

My linux Ruby application is using Ferret 0.11.4. I created my own class IndexSearcher to contain the Searcher of multiple directories. If I do not have the searcher.close called, the end of runner/console or runner/server will pop out with system error: *** glibc detected *** irb: double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x0a51d6c0 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/libc.so.6[0x638ac1]

I''m taking a stab at creating a parser to parse the server response using the mongrel parser as a base. Never having used a parser like Ragel before in my life, I''d like some input on the following for parsing an http server response. This is part of my modified version of http11_parser.rl. In particular what would be better than using ''any'' to match the

If I want to write a function which will be available to views, I write a helper function in one of the places set aside or that very task by Rails. If I want to write a little suite of functions to be mixed in by a number of model classes (but not all), where do I put them? Plug-ins look like AN answer, but they also seem a little heavyweight for simple, project-specific tasks.

Hi guys, in development mode a module mixed into a helper class seems not to be reloaded inside app/helpers: class TestHelper include EvenMoreHelp #foo end module EvenMoreHelp # bar end the contents of #foo get refreshed, but not #bar... is there a way to fix that behaviour. I intend a full reload in development mode for obvious reasons. Regards Peter

I''ve been working on a plugin called Http Test where I add HTML validation and link checking to controller and integration tests through an after filter in ApplicationController. I used to mix in a bunch of methods that I needed into the ApplicationController class, but to me this had a bad smell, so I broke much of the code out into separate classes that I delegate to.

All, I whipped up a small extension for Prototype to solve some modeling issues I was having on a large JS project. I know there have been serveral alternative "write JS in Ruby" type efforts, including ruby.js, rb2js, and prototype.js itself, but I was hoping to keep it as light as possible while gaining the most powerful aspects of derivation/mixins/callbacks. Much like the prototype

Hi, I?m looking for how to integrate couchdb with xapian. Couchdb has a elasticsearch plugin, but i didn?t find anything about xapian. How is the best way to do it ? There some tips / tricks about xapian and couchdb ? Best Regards ! Carlos Brazil.

I''m trying to understand how best to use inheritance and wonder if Rail''s Single Table Inheritance model too restricting. I have a model Companies who provide 1+ Services (HABTM relationship). I assume the best way to represent this is with a series of child models representing each type of service : ServiceType < Company. I want to return lists of companys for each

Hello, Imagine I have a form designer, which allow me to design a web form (at run-time). I don''t have any idea how to save the data in db (table ddl?), so I can easily list or search the data. I though of writing the hash directly from the form to db, but I think there must be better solution(s)? Any idea, articles or design pattern on the subject? Thank you all in advance, Dunnil

Hi folks, Can anyone share some accumulated wisdom about the best way to spec mixins in general, and (Jamis Buck-style) ActiveRecord "concerns" in particular? The standard situation here is that there''s a bunch of functionality, related by concept if not by implementation, that one wants to inherit in many different classes (e.g. ActiveRecord models) without having to

Hey all, I have two models in my rails project that share a lot of traits. They each have the same 4 properties, and now I need to add 2-3 methods to each one that will be the same. In the spirit of DRY I am looking for a solution to write these methods only once. Both of these models already inherit from ActiveRecord . . . and I didn''t know if it was safe to just "whip up" a

Hi, I am almost embarrased to ask this and I am sure it has been answered previously but the search feature is down on ruby-forum so I am not finding the answer. I have several controllers (leads, orders, activities, etc...). I have a ton of repeated html in each of the views for these controllers. For example, my list view has the same table/tr/td and for..in type of code and it just

We''ve all seen the checkout forms with Bill To: and Ship To: I''d like to have a button that says "Ship to Bill To:" and if we click it, it copies all the Ship To: fields across such as phone, email, etc. I''ve been looking at link_to_function, is that the right path? I''ve done observe_fields before but that went to a controller action whereas here we

Hi, I''m trying to do a bulk update on an array with the helper text_field. I''m trying to create an inputfield for every object in the array, but I''m not getting it right... example: class ClassA @arrayB[] end HTML (code with error): <% 0.upto(9) do |index| %> <%= text_field ''ClassA'', ''arrayB[index]'' %> non

I am trying to wrap my head around an idea and would appreciate any input from rails geniuses out there I would like to allow an admin user to define data that should be in a template, and then allow regular users to create instances of this template and have it validated. ie: - Template would have name, files and then x many fields of say "Text max length 20 chars", "Image size

Hi, I''m writing my own FormBuilder and I wanted to put an asterisk or something next to any required fields. The Builder has access to the AR object, is there any method I can call on the AR object that will tell me whether or not a particular field is required? Failing that, can I access the complete list of validations so I can look through it for instances of

Hi, I''ve recently been trying to setup Mongrel behind Pound so that I can do mutual SSL authentication. I''ve had a few problems with Pound (documented at [1]), but now have it working correctly. However, I think there is a problem with Mongrel and how it deals with the headers Pound adds to the HTTP header block. One of the extra headers Pound adds is
