In my work with a simple localization plugin, i''m running into a lot of places in the Rails core, where text and other localization specific information is hardcoded. I''ve included some examples in the bottom of this post. It''s hard for an outsider to know, if the hardcoded values are a result of inconsistency in code, or "by design". I hope that we can have

i have a person object. Persons don''t need to have addresses, but if they have any address field value, they must have them all. So I have something like this: validates_presence_of :street_address, :city, :state, :postal_code unless :address_blank? address_blank? checks whether all of the address fields are blank. If I run a test like this, it works: describe "given

I''ve got User has_one Shop. Rails is not validating when I tried create_shop or build_shop, neither in the browser nor the rails console.

Hi Everyone, Ran into an interesting case last night, and I was hoping that someone on the list here could give me some guidance. I''ve got a Polymorphic association for Addresses (which can belong to two different models). The catch is, one model requires a strict, precise address, and the other only requires a City, State and Postal Code. I want to use :validates_presence_of :street,

I am new to rails and have been scouring the web for the past two days trying to figure out 2 things. 1) I am currently using a form with 2 models. The first is person, the second is address. I attempted to duplicate the two models on one form as seen in Advanced Rails Recipes and Railscasts, and they work fine - except when there are validation issues on the address piece it just returns saying

Hi there, I''m still trying to wrap my head around when to use a stub and a mock. If I understand this right, I should be using a ''mock'' when imitating an object, but not its behavior. I should be using a stub when I want to imitate the behavior of an object. Does that sound about right? With that said, I''m struggling a little trying to spec out this instance

Hi, I''m trying to get autocomplete to work but have been having some problems. It seems that Ajax.Autocompleter(...) is not getting called.

Hey guys, I have a field that will have very few autocomplete options. I have an ajax.autocompleter on it that works great, but I wanted to make it start autocompleting as soon as the field is blur()ed, so that even if the field is empty, the list will still appear. Like a combo box in windows. How can I do this? Setting :min_chars => 0 (or even -1) didn''t work... -Josh
