I''m using the rescue_action_in_public example from the Agile book to handle errors and email serious ones to me. In my application.rb controller: def rescue_action_in_public(exception) logger.error("rescue_action_in_public executed") case exception when ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound, ActionController::RoutingError, ActionController::UnknownAction

I''m having trouble with rescue_action_in_public, both in getting it to work right in my rails app, and in writing tests to make sure. What I ultimately want to do is test for what a normal user would see when an error is trapped. I override local_request? like so: application.rb -------------- def rescue_action_in_public(exception) render :text => "oops" end def

Hi all! I''ve been using the excellent exception_nofitier ( http://agilewebdevelopment.com/plugins/exception_notifier ) a while now, but want to change the way it interacts with my application. I now have my own rescue_action_in_public which takes me to a "Error. Describe the problem"-page. After filling out some user data the user can then click on submit. This is where the

Hello, I''m new to rails and I''m trying to wrap my heads around how to spec controllers using RSpec (using rails 3rc1 and rspec 2.0.0.beta.19). The problem I''ve run into is when I want to test that my controllers respond with a 404 for unfound records. Whenever I run the spec, the ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound exception is not caught by rails, causing the spec

In 2.3, exceptions raised by controllers under functional tests were by default propagated to the test, but by using rescue_action_in_public! a test could trigger the production, public behavior and then use assert_response or similar to test the expected result. This was implemented via coordination between ActionController::Rescue and ActionController::TestCase::RaiseActionExceptions. This

I have three tables customers, indentities and people. I hav ecreated models for them. The are connected with foreign keys and has_many/belongs_to in this fashion: customers has_many: identities identities belongs_to: customer identities has_many: people people belongs_to: identities Now, I have a form in which I would like to create db entries for the three tables. customers have a password

I copied (and modified) this code from AWDWR: def rescue_action_in_public(exception) case exception when ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound, ActionController::UnknownAction render :template=>''/error'', :layout=>''application'', :status=>''404 Not Found'' else render :template=>''/error'',

I''m generating 3 models on 1 controller and i''m rescuing ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid for validation errors, however 2 of the models have the same attribute called "name", and if there''s an error on that field, I wouldn''t know whether that belongs to model A or model B. What then is the best way of modifying the error message of a validation error

I have this in my application controller. def rescue_action_in_public(exception) logger.error("rescue_action_in_public executed") case exception when ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound, ::ActionController::UnknownAction, ::ActionController::RoutingError logger.warn("rendering 404 page") render(:file =>

Hi all, I am using is_attachment plugin, but I will always end up with this error: RuntimeError in PostsController#create BLAH which was caused by: version.filename = file_name_for_version(version_name) begin version.save! rescue ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid raise "BLAH" end end RecordInvalid was raised by save! because is invalid. Does anyone know why? I am uploading

Hey all, I have a many-to-many relationship (Questions has_and_belongs_to_many Answers), and when I destroy the Question (the one) I also destroy all the Answers (the many). Since the following doesn''t seem to work for has_and_belongs_to_many: class Question < AR::Base... has_and_belongs_to_many :answers, :dependent => :destroy end I have this embedded in a transaction block

1) Everytime a participant speaks there is a echo for a short duration (maybe a word or two) but as the participant continues to speak without a any break the echo is 95% cancelled (i.e there is a feeble echo still present if observed very carefully). 2) The moment the participant stops / pauses speaking and start talking again, scenario 1 is repeated as if the echo state has been re-initialized

Every few days I see in the logwatch on my Centos-5.5 web-server what seems like a rather feeble break-in attempt. Eg today I see --------------------------- 403 Forbidden /phpMyAdmin/scripts/setup.php: 2 Time(s) /phpmyadmin/scripts/setup.php: 2 Time(s) 404 Not Found /PMA2005/scripts/setup.php: 1 Time(s) /TRAD_files/datestamp.js: 1 Time(s) ...

This started, I think, after I upgraded to 1.1. trunk 508 $ruby script/console Loading development environment. /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/test/unit/assertions.rb:265: warning: already initialized constant UncaughtThrow >> Everything seems to work in the console, however.

In Rails 2.3.x, you can override render_optional_error_file like so: # ApplicationController.rb protected def render_optional_error_file(status_code) render :template => "errors/500", :status => 500, :layout => ''application'' end However, Rails 3 no longer has render_optional_error_file. Instead, you need to overriderescue_action_in_public, which I do:

Hi all, I''m trying to do a route test using assert_generates and running into a bit of trouble. The controller that I am testing is in a module - class Admin::AdminPortalController def index end end I want the user to jump to the AdminPortal/index action when they use http://myApp/admin, so I''ve put the following in routes.rb map.admin_portal

Hi I will provide code if needed but I am wondering if there might be a standard cause for this: a Model I am trying to save seems to fail miserably at either a #save or #save! call. In the latter case, a RecordInvalid is raised, but when I inspect it, the Errors object does not contain any error messages (full or otherwise). I have tried many a way but I can not seem to get any error info. Are

As I am in development environment, I wrote in my config/environment.rb ActionController::Base.consider_all_requests_local = false in my application.rb, I wrote def rescue_action_in_public(exception) case exception when RoutingError, UnknownAction render :file => "#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/404.html", :status => 404 else logger.error

Hi, I''m having a strange problem that only seems to be happening on our production server. I never get this error locally but get it quite often on the server. The other odd thing is it doesn''t seem to be resulting in any error pages on the site. Everything looks fine... I wanted to add a rescue_action_in_public to email me when there are errors. So I followed the

Hi folks, I''m in the process of converting a Test::Unit functional test to RSpec, but I''ve run into a slight problem. I tried looking through the documentation but I still don''t know what I missed. Thanks in advance, Blake describe VenuesController, "on update" do before(:each) do @venue = mock("venue")
