Hi, How could I disable my database FOREIGN KEYs in a Rake task? Or, how could I call the execute() method in a Rake task? I''m trying to perform something like: task :delete_the_cippalippa => :environment do require RAILS_ROOT+''/lib/marsian.rb'' # FIXME: execute() is undefined execute "SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0" Cippalippa.delete(-1)

I am having a problem using the test database in Rails 3. It apparently has kept track of aspects of the database that I deleted completely from my migrations at some point. I don''t always use the ''down'' part of a migration and sometimes just recreate the whole database. I did rake db:migrate:reset and rake db:test:prepare, but when I run my test it is trying to access

I''m occasionally getting an odd Rails error that says "marshal data too short". Our entire web app seems to be working fine -- we can post forms, save models, redirect, login, etc, without any problems. Then out of nowhere a request will result in the 500 error "marshal data too short". Subsequent requests to *any* page then result in the same error -- even pages

Hi all According to the Agile 2nd Ed book I added the line encoding: utf8 to my database.yml connections. But now when running rake I get plenty of errors: Character set ''utf-8'' is not a compiled character set and is not specified in the ''/usr/local/mysql/share/mysql/charsets/Index'' file What''s wrong here? I checked this Index file, but it seems to

Estimados Les envío dos archivos, el primero es mysql, el segundo es el código R. A ambos los ejecuté en ubuntu 14.04, anteriormente en mi script tenía anotado, se ve feo pero anda, esto es referente a los acentos, hoy se ve feo (codificado no en español) y rjson produce un error, básicamente me informa que no es UFT-8. Desconozco que pasa, ¿alguna idea? Desde ya muchas gracias. Javier

Hi everyone. I recently wrote a nice module that I want to use in my rails app. It consists of a few files in a directory that I have places in the lib directory. It looks like this: /lib/KMLTools/foo.rb, bar.rb, baz.rb Some of these files load each other and I finally got those to work by using the File.dirname(__FILE__) trick. When I simply require the file into my controller, everything is

Hi I am trying to create a plug-in to fix the error in the rails core produced by the multiple delete on a HABTM relationship. I have confirmed that my plug-in is being included into the base during runtime however the code does not seem to be overridding the base class. module ActiveRecord module Associations module ClassMethods def has_and_belongs_to_many(association_id, options =

Hi all, Any help with this would be appreciated. I''m using instant rails, updated to 2.2.2, on Windows XP. I''ve created my DB and scaffolded a few things and put some fixtures into place, and when I run the tests I get many errors that look like this: --------------------------------- 1) Error: test_the_truth(EntityTest): NoMethodError: undefined method `key?'' for

I''m resending this with additional information, as I''ve had no response. I''ve been trying to use the fixture_references plugin, and I seem to be getting lots of: 1) Error: test_truth(DeviceTest): ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: Mysql::Error: #HY000Field ''description_id'' doesn ''t have a default value: INSERT INTO devices (`id`) VALUES (2)

Hi, Since couple a day, I block with the delete of my fixtures in my functionnals test. In my controller, I need test a redirect if there are no value. But i load my fixtures in start of my test and in a specific test I want delete all. Only in this method, not in other method. In API, I discover the method delete_existing_fixtures, who seem the good practice, but I can''t find how use

Hello, I''m trying to write a unit test for model that doesn''t have an ''id'' field. I created the model''s table with the following migration, making sure the primary key was set. class CreateActiveUserMetrics < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table :active_user_metrics, {:id => false,

I''m having (to me) a strange problem with errors when running my tests with rake as opposed to using ruby. If I do rake test:units I get this error for several tests, but not all: 13) Error: test_player_has_game_statistics_for_season(PlayerSeasonTest): ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: Mysql::Error: Duplicate entry ''22'' for key 1: INSERT INTO positions (`name`, `id`,

I have 2 tables: products and categories. They are both linked by a habtm association. I have a fixture to import all the data in each table but I dont know how to import the data in the categories_products table since that table has no model, so I cant use that code: f = Fixtures.new(Category.connection, # a database connection "categories", # table name

I loaded both Madden 07 and Madden 08 into Wine, and they both run. However, players do not show up (in create a team, create a player) and in their places are a bunch of colored triangles making random shapes. Then, when I attempt to play a game, wine crashes, saying that there is a serious problem (but not specifying the problem itself). Is there something that I've done wrong? Both games

Hi everyone, For one of our projects we have a need to deploy and maintain a demo. As a result I''ve attempted to setup a set of rake tasks for the job. My goal is have one rake task called "deploy_demo" which purges the database, migrates to the current schema, and loads the db from a set of fixture files in a specified location.
