Well, after many hours of tinkering and internet browsing I just can''t get Fast CGI to work with Rails and Apache 1.3 on FreeBSD 5.4 Normal CGI works fine, but as soon as I enable FastCGI in .htaccess I get the message: Application error Rails application failed to start properly Here''s what I''ve done so far: - I''ve installed all the necessary software for

Hello all! I''m having an issue with Observers, and I''m hoping someone knows the answer. Here is the definition: app/models/vehicle_observer.rb > class VehicleObserver < ActiveRecord::Observer > def after_save(vehicle) > breakpoint > if vehicle.has_new_mil_indication? > UserMailer.deliver_mil_notice(vehicle) > end > end > end

Help please. I''m trying to observe a User class, but I can''t get this to work, the after_create method never gets called... (the breakpoint never gets called) app/models/user_observer.rb: class UserObserver < ActiveRecord::Observer def after_create(user) breakpoint setting =

Hi all ! I don''t believe I am the only one using model observers, right ? Well, here''s a nice one: $ drbspec spec . Finished in 0.125322 seconds 1 specification, 0 failures $ drbspec spec F 1) ''A user with an inactive and an active project should be able to return active projects only'' FAILED [] should == [#<Spec::Mocks::Mock:0xb75590bc

I have restful_authentication in use on an app and it has been working fine, but I recently was changing the account creation flow and needed to enable the UserObserver. I did so by including it in the environment.rb (config.active_record.observers = :user_observer) and Rails wouldn''t start. I got the following error; source/communitysites/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/

Rails Guides says: ...the UserObserver ... would be saved as app/models/user_observer.rb and registered in config/environment.rb this way: config.active_record.observers = :user_observer But the observer registration above doesn''t work because there is no ''config''. For now, I''ve put it in the config/environments/[APP_ENV].rb but that seems really sloppy and

Hi all, I''m developing a site where a user can upload their CV/resume with a profile, and am using restful_authentication for this with attachment_fu to handle the file uploading. When a user creates their profile/user account, I''ve got an observer that will email the site admin with a copy of the uploaded CV. My user_observer looks something like: class UserObserver <

I need to add an ActiveRecord observer and thought I should follow Rails 2 intent by not changing the base environment.rb I create a file config/initializers/observers.rb but don''t know what to add to it. I can''t add: config.active_record.observers = :user_observer Since "config" isn''t defined in the scope of the initializer file and I don''t know if

Am i wrong or do ActiveRecord observers not work in mongrel? Is there a work around for this? I am 100% sure of this because in my observer i put raise "whatever". Whenever I try update the model using the mongrel server I get a successful save. If I do it in webrick I get an exception raised. Any ideas what I should do? Because webrick is pretty annoying to work with. Thank

but the model isn''t the right place to send mail from. That just seems like pretty bad coupling, generating emails from within the model. Or is that not a problem? On top of that, these emails need to contain links back to my site...which is a bit of a pain in ActionMailer, but I found directions on http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoUseUrlHelpersWithActionMailer however I

In most of my tests I''d like to be able to stub out the observers for my models, but I''m not sure the best way to do this. I doesn''t look like there is a way to stub all instance methods, and I don''t seem to be able to stub early enough to stub out the observer as it''s instantiated. I can think of several hackish ways to get around it, but I was

I''m spec''ing a model with an observer that sends mail. Mailers behave similarly to controllers, so to make the whole thing work, I believe something like integrate_views has to be available. Has anyone dealt with observers and ActionMailer? Thanks

Observers will be no more as of Rails 4, farewell, never been much of a fan. However, I''m using it in one of my gems which enables model attributes for use with a WYSIWYM editor. The resulting markup is persisted, but in order to use it in a view, it has to be nokogiried in a helper which fragment caches the result. This cache has to be zapped once the model instance is either

Hello, I need some help on how to use the Event.observers - thank you in advance for your input. <div class="navcontainer"> <ul id="nav"> <li class="button"> <img src="images/spacer.gif" width="20" height="20"> </li> <li class="button"> <img

I was just wondering what about a report that I made almost 2 months ago: Active Record observers broken<https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/4087-activerecord-observers-cant-be-used-for-before-callbacks> I think it''s a pretty big bug. In Rails 3, creating an observer with a "before_save" callback (for instance) will result in all observed models being

Hi all, i installed Act_as_Authenticated plugin yesterday, everything seems fine: trying out the index, divert me to the login screen, i register and login. but when i try http://localhost:3000/account/logout, it didn''t work, after the action been executed, it takes me back to the index as i m logged in. i try to clean the localhost cookie from my firefox, and delete those files in the

Dear List: I have a data manipulation problem that I was unable to solve in R. I did it in SQL, and it may be that the solution in R is to do it in SQL, but I wondered if people could imagine a vector-based solution. Imagine a list A[i] of observers who observe some set of events B[j]. Each observer i may observe one or more events, and each event j may have been observed by one or more

I have been using multiple observers, i.e., observe_field(), on the same input field and relying on them to execute in the same order that they appear in the page. This has been working fine in FireFox, but it does not seem to work in MSIE; the requests come in and are processed in a different order. Now, I''ve always been a little hesitant about using this technique, but it always

I have a Rails model that has an observer. The function of the observer is to send an email when a particular state change occurs in the model. Because the template rendering code is not loaded when doing model testing, I''ve had to shut off the email functionality of the observer for testing. Is there a better way to handle this? Thanks
