Hi, I want to automate somewhat the addition of created_by/updated_by fields on my models (i.e. to include username). What''s the best/recommended way to do this? Would it be to: a) Find out how to extend the ActiveRecord::Base itself (I haven''t extended a class before yet) b) Use a plugin type approach where you have to add a tag manually to each model file which then

I''m working on an app. with the userstamp plugin in it (from 2 - 3 years back). In the init.rb file, there''s this: ActiveRecord::Base.send(:include, ActiveRecord::Userstamp) unless RAILS_ENV == ''test'' This causes certain tests to fail since created_by is a required attribute. Does anyone know the idea behind Userstamp not loading in the test environment.
