similar to: unit testing with model inheritence

I''ve created a model, let''s just call it Person class Person attr_accessor :first_name, :lastname def full_name @first_name + " " + @last_name end end I''m using this in my Rails application. My Rails application does not use a database of any kind, and this model is obviously not a subclass of ActiveRecord::Base. I can''t unit test this

I recently started using migrations to create the schema of a Rails project I am working on. The database I am using for this project is MySQL. The initial migration creates the table and also includes a number of execute statements (to do some things like setting primary keys, autoincrement on some columns and other messy voodoo). Running "rake migrate" creates the database with no

Hi, Has anyone come across a Ruby mathematical expression parser, capable of parsing out token, replacing them with values then executing the mathematical formula? Nothing too heavy, A * (44/12) * ... etc. where A is can be replaced with a value. In Java there are serveral, like JEP, but I''d prefer it we could get a Ruby one now we have moved over to Rails, otherwise we will have to

Has anyone come across this problem... I created some Ruby files in Textmate on my Mac - and everything works fine. However, when I run those files on a Windows machine I get e.g. compile error ./script/../config/../app/views/station/consumption/new.rhtml:2: Invalid char `\002'' in expression ./script/../config/../app/views/station/consumption/new.rhtml:4: parse error, unexpected

Hello All, If I run my unit tests individually using Ruby, they all work correctly. However, if I try to run them using "rake test_units", I get a bunch of error messages. The error messages appear to be caused by rake not loading any of the fixtures into the test database. I am using PostgreSQL on Windows. Does anyone have any suggestions? Many thanks, Bruce. -- Posted via

I''m getting some very weird results when testing my system. If I run my unit tests using => ruby \test\unit\<filename.rb> each of the tests pass. If I run => rake test_units I get several failures, and they all have to deal with the same issue. For instance I''m getting => ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: RuntimeError: ERROR C42P01 Mrelation

After upgrading to 1.1, I can''t run any unit tests. Apparently when I run rake test_units, it uses a migration to set up the database. Unfortunately when it runs the migration, it''s adding not null constraints to every field, even though I haven''t got that set up. I''m using the ruby-postgres (0.7.1.2005.12.21) adapter with PostgreSQL 8.1.0. I''m

Hi, I realise that Windows is a poor platform and that Webrick is a development, not production, server. However, we have started seeing this crop up when perfectly simple page to page links are invoked...

sorry to cross post to dev/users. -dev was not the best option ;-) Hi to all puppet masters: functionnality I need is quite simple: classes/ one .pp file per class, example: class mail-gateway { ...service/host/templates... definitions } -> this should set all that''s needed to setup a given system "rôle" in the system (installing packages, config files with variables

Hi, My application spans 2 (or more) databases for some very specific reasons... My models are working fine, even dynamically establishing connections as needed at runtime, and spanning relationships across the databases (which really impressed me). The problem is, I can''t seem to force Units for these models (that use a secondary db) to load their fixtures into and use the

Hello, I am having some trouble running the unit tests for the salted has login generator. I am a bit new to both ruby and rails so I am having a little trouble deciphering the error message I get when running ''rake test_units''. Up till the point where I try to run the unit tests I have followed the quick start guide for the salted hash login generator

I have just migrated to use Rail 1.1 from 1.0. In the progress of fixing and cleaning up the unit tests. I found the following problem. I am not sure if this is a bug or it is my environment. When I run "rake test_units, some of the index in association tables is not created, this leads to failures for some unit test cases. Thinking that may be because I didn''t setup the

I just got this error: uninitialized constant PriceCurf After much head scratching I remembered the Rails plural to singular mapping rules. My table is price_curves, my object is PriceCurve ... whereas I am guessing Rails thinks the singular ought to br PriceCurf ?! I''m sure there is a simple way around this linguistic blunder that doesn''t involve the use of pigeon English.

Hello, On some machines being managed by Puppet I would like to perform targetted audit runs with "puppet -t --noop --tags audit" For better or for worse I am trying to do this with a separate module "audit" rather than add the audit => to the resources and use inheritence. i.e. class audit::resolver inherits resolver::config { notify{"Running audit on

As is often the case when I tackle a new platform/language, I get the big picture very quickly (because frameworks are frameworks are frameworks) but its the nitty-gritty of the language that bogs me down... So I have some similar methods on a few of my model classes that I wanted to push into a helper. Now I reckoned that the Ruby way was to create a module and mix it in with include. However, I

Hello Rails experts, Need your help in following issue with the acts_as_list and single table inheritence Code details : http://pastie.org/1214846 Hello Rails experts, Need your help in following issue with the acts_as_list and single table inheritence Code details : http://pastie.org/1214846 But here I need create those entries with the scope on Relater only and not on RelaterFeed or

With the help of the Rails Recipes have got a self-referential HABTM relationship working, but I''m really struggling with getting a new entry from a form accepted. i should say here that the form is also submitting info for the join table too. So in my model I have: class Type < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :subtypes, :class_name => ''Type'',

Hi, I''ve installed coverage (gem install coverage) and try to run tests with -rcoverage option on, but following error occurs: ruby: No such file to load -- coverage (LoadError) I try: ruby -rcoverage mytest.rb 1.

I want to make use of a form_remote_tag to submit a form asynchronously. Easy done. However, we also want to add an observe_form tag to check for some value changes while the form is being entered. The observe_form tag needs a dom id to work on but I can''t see how to enter an html option for the dom id of the form on the form_remote_tag. Any ideas? Here is the form tag so far...

Hi everyone, Where I work, there are several standards (heh) for position codes for staff and faculty. For instance, a Dean could be listed as DEA or DEN. An Assistant Professor could be AST or ASO. There are some cases where typos have crepts into the system, and AS0 (zero) could have meant ASO. Now, beyond getting those responsible to clean up their data (we are), I need to deal with this
