If the associated object of a has_one association has been loaded, it is resaved when the parent is saved. Eg: class Person < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :user end class User < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :person end p = Person.find(:first) p.save # As expected, nothing happens with the user association p.user # Loads the associated object p.save # As well as saving the person, the

Dear Rails List, I am new on the list so will assume straight away that this question has been answered before. As I can see no immediate way of searching the list, I will ask the question. I apologize in advance for any disruption this may cause. Question time: I am trying to write a web application for the staff at my office to play a form of virtual Super14. Its a bit like any of the

Hello! I have a legacy DB and want to use ActiveRecord for it. However, I can''t set up a relation correctly. Here''s table spec: [products] id name price [subproducts] product_id subproduct_id Some example data: [products] 1, "Computer", 500.00 2, "Monitor", 200.00 3, "Printer", 100.00 4, "System", 700.00 5, "System2",

I seem to be missing something trying to use ''validates_inclusion_of'' to validate a foreign key and was hoping some one could piont out my mistake? The problem seems to be that Order.find_all.collect is not returning an array that contains the order_id, if I replace it with a hardcoded array everything works as expected. The model: class OrderItem < ActiveRecord::Base

Hey all, I got annoyed recently that I couldn''t specifiy multiple chunks of test setup and teardown code that get executed for each test. You''re currently limited to just one setup method (unless I''m much mistaken). Anyway, I just wrapped up my solution in a plugin. The answer: use blocks! class Test::Unit::TestCase # This is overridden by the subclass and will

Hey there, There''s been a bit of work going on with Selenium and Rails recently, so I thought I may as well share what I came up with. Check out my blog post at http://blog.viney.net.nz/articles/2006/02/09/selenium-testing, grab the plugin and give it a whirl (be sure to read the README!). Basically, my approach was to make it possible to write Selenium tests in the same way that

I have a module as shown below and when I extend an active record to use it, I can not access the primary_key method. In a simple test program using a similar approach where active record is not involved, access to the class methods seems to work ok. What can I do to make this work or so that I can access the class methods ? ################################## require

Hello all. I don''t suppose some enterprising soul with much more skill than me has whipped up a "validates_dateness_of" (Complete with leap year calculations) method for use with all the other validation methods and wishes to spread much much joy?

Hi list I''ve got a bit of a philosophical question. After just having discovered Selenium /Selenium IDE and the rails selenium plugin I''ve realized that it''s a whole lot easier to do functinoal testing than writing the traditional rails functional tests. However it implies that the development database consists of standardized test data (e.g the test & dev

I am running an lme model with the main effects of four fixed variables (3 continuous and one categorical – see below) and one random variable. The data describe the densities of a mite species – awsm – in relation to four variables: adh31 (temperature related), apsm (another plant feeding mite) awpm (a predatory mite), and orien (sampling location within plant – north or south). I have read

Hey all, I''d like to abstract the process of updating different portions of the page after an Ajax request has taken place. Rather than simply putting the extra view logic in the standard rjs template, it seems to give better separation if there is a split between the core view logic (ie, inserting a row in a table), and updating any associated portions of the page. Is this possible? I

Hey all, I''ve just put together a little plugin to easily access the neighbours of a given model in a particular order. Read on if interested. Install: script/plugin install http://svn.viney.net.nz/things/rails/plugins/acts_as_ordered Usage: class Person < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ordered :order => ''first_name'' end Say you have people with first

Hi list, My tag_question_user join table is not currently a full-blown model. It doesn''t have a primary key - just tag_id, question_id, and user_id. I now want to add a primary key to this model (because I want to add a "description" column as well so users can describe the tag. I''m not sure how to add this using migrations. Here is what I have: class AddNotesToTags

I''ve tried Time.parse() and DateTime.parse() but they interpret the date as US format. Is there any way to tell it to interpret as dd/mm/yyyy? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi I''d like to have a varchar primary key named id instead of the default int id. Does anyone knows how to specify this from migrations ? Should I also specify something in the model class ? thanks!

Hi, While I was hacking ovirt-server, I have found that it's currently restricted to Postgres DB. Even if I like postgres for serious work on a server, I really prefer to hack/dev locally on a Sqlite or MySQL DB. I have googled on rails in order to find a good answer for the "foreign key problem" which forces OVirt to stay on pg. I have found a plugin on this particular

Hi, In my user_controller.rb, I have the following method, which is supposed to send the user to their profile, dependng on what "role" they are (the roles correspond to the other controllers: venue, band, fan): def login if request.post? if session[:user_id] = User.authenticate(params[:user][:login], params[:user][:password]) flash[:message] =

i have these two really similar methods in my addressbook controller. def edit_company @company = Company.find(params[:id]) if request.post? and @company.update_attributes(params[:company]) flash[:notice] = ''Company was successfully edited.'' redirect_to :action => ''show'', :id => @company end end def edit_person

I am using a plugin that adds a method to ActiveRecord::Base. The added method is called self.create_or_update. I need to monkey patch this method. I tried in lib/ config/initializers and in environment.rb, but the one in the plugin is always the one that is run. Where do I put my version of the method so that it overrides that of the plugin? I only use this method when running a rake task, so

Hi all, For various reasons I need to have foreign keys with not null constraints. Eg: create_table :people do |t| t.column :name, :string t.column :household_id, :integer, :null => false end create_table :households do |t| t.column :name, :string end add_foreign_key_constraint :people, :household_id, :households, :id So the people table has a foreign key into
