Hello everyone! I want to have login field in User model which is set only once (on create), and then it should fail validation if the value is changed. How can I do this? I dig around for validation and tried def after_validation_on_update unless User.find_by_login(:login) errors.add(:login, "is immutable. You can''t change it") end end in model, but somewhat it

Hello everyone! I''m thinking of the right way to store tmp/ directory of Rails 1.1 project in Subversion. It has cache, session and sockets subdirectories. To me, it looks good to have svn delete tmp/* svn propset svn:ignore "*" tmp So it will ignore all directories and files in tmp/. Even if you create sessions/ and put some files in it, tmp/ content is still ignored. But

I have a pretty simple model, articles and users. class Article belongs_to :user end class User has_many :articles end In my unit tests I want to ensure that the associations work properly. What''s the best way to do this? The obvious thing to do is a test in each model. # user_test.rb def test_add_post u = users(:first) before_articles = u.articles.count u.articles

In my User auth scheme I have a userlevel. I''ve overloaded the User class operators like this: def >(item) if item.class == "User" self.userlevel > item.userlevel else self.userlevel > item end end (other operators are overloaded in essentially the same way). As I understand it, using the operator ">" inside the overloaded

Hello, people! I have a problem. I googled, asked for help on IRC. I can''t find an answer. Suppose I have model Cart (from "Agile Web Development with Rails"). I added call to logger.warn("Some warning") to one of it''s methods. It fails with NameError, because ''logger'' is unknown to model. undefined local variable or method

Can you somehow create a test that contains methods that relate to the methods in the controller that is being tested? Thanks Chris -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

According to the book, @timesheets["first_timesheet"] should be accesible from within my functional test, but its not!

If I have several models which exhibit the same functionality, it seems makes sense to create a mixin, ''include'' it in each model and save myself some work and repeated code. Where can I define a module which will be available to all models? I can''t seem to find a documented place for them. Alternatively, is there a Rails-standard way of achieving the effect? Ben

This is a bit of a nuby question methinks but i''ve had a play/search around and it''s just bugging me now :0) Say I have a conditional statement, testing a variable against a number of values. The first way i did this is like so: if myvar != "" and myvar != 0 and myvar != nil # .. code end This seems a bit messy - is there neater way of doing this? I thought of:

Hello everyone! I''ve noticed, that the book uses double quotes almost everywhere. It is like <%= javascript_include_tag "prototype" %> I''ve checked the "programming ruby, 2ed" book and found that double quotes are most suited when escape sequences and substitutions are required. Isn''t it more semantically correct to write this code like

Hi all, I''m fairly new to rails and ruby, but I''ve come across an interesting glitch and I''m not sure whether I''ve just got something wrong with my assumptions or if it really is an error in the underlying framework...

Hello everyone I wonder if anyone can point me to the library for timezone management with DST support, which has timezones, like flickr has. I know that there is TZInfo, but it''s a bit different for it has huge list of available timezones in ''Continent/City'' format. I would like my application to have timezones list more like on flickr (or windows regional settings) -

I''ve run into another functional testing issue. Odds are I''m taking the wrong approach, so I''m back to this list again in the hopes of finding the true path. with assert_tag, I''d like to check the values of various table cells and ensure that the proper values are placed in the appropriate places. I written some tests that make good sense to me, and in
