I have a lot of controllers with virtually identical functionality for most actions. I''ve been using shared behaviours to DRY things up a bit, but I still have to create separate behaviours for each context before I can use the shared behaviours what I have now is a generic file which contains all the behaviours and examples common to all the controllers, and that file gets loaded from

Out of curiosity, I''ve seen the following fail: module Admin describe MyController ... end end But this works fine: describe Admin::MyController .. end Why? Scott

I''ve made some test: ------------------ CODE ------------------ class FooController < ActionController::Base caches_action :foo def foo render_text ''Hello, foo<br />'' end end class BarController < ActionController::Base def bar render :inline => <<-EOS Hello, bar <br /> <%= render_component(:controller =>

In my rspec_on_rails controlle rspec, I have this: require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../spec_helper'' describe FooController, "with a foo" do it "should be false" do get ''index'' assigns[:foo].should be_false end end In my controller I have this: class FooController < ApplicationController def index @foo = FALSE end

Hi guys, I would expect an ActionController-derived class to reload _completely_ in development mode. class FooController < ApplicationController include FancyStuffSupport def index # bla end # more actions here end However, the ''FancyStuffSupport'' is not reloaded, only the ''FooController'' itself. Can this behaviour be changed? I feel back

I track svn/trunk of Rails using svn:externals Some change to Rails committed in the last 1-2 days broke my subclass of ApplicationController The example, below, works with Rails 1.0, but in today''s svn, it dies with the following error: "superclass mismatch for class FooController" class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base end class FooController <

Hi, In my test case below, it seems that ''initialize'' is called everytime ''hello'' is called. Is this by design, a bug, or my pilot error? class FooController < ApplicationController def initialize print "\n initialize \n" end def hello print "\n hello \n" end end I

Hi, (This is my first post after months of appreciative lurking...) I''m trying to spec the following conditional controller macro: class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base # turn off session management for robots session :off, :if => lambda {|req| req.user_agent =~ /(Google|Slurp)/i } # ... end My current attempt seems to be quite unsuccessful: 1) when I

I''m getting to the point now where I really need to start trapping the errors. So from my AWDWR book, I added the following directly from the book into application.rb... def rescue_action_in_public(exception) case exception when ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound, ActionController::UnknownAction render(:file => "#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/404.html",

Hi! Is it possible to render the action within the after_filter method, or is the rendering performed before? I have something like this: class FooController after_filter :send def a @content=... end def b @content=.. end protected def send send_data(@content,...) end end However, when calling the action a or b, the @content doesn''t get sent, but instead

Hi all, I''m trying to output some info to see what''s happening in a controller during functional tests. Problem: ''print'' only works in the test code, but not in the production code that''s being called by the tests. Example: In FooControllerTest: def test_list print "1: starting" <<----- WORKS FINE get

I''m not sure but I think this is due to the ''modules'' support in the latest beta gems. In some controllers I include small utility classes that only make sense for that controller. Something like this: class SantasLittleHelper < Foo end class FooController < ApplicationController end Where Foo is defined in RAILS_ROOT/lib/foo.rb What I am seeing now

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

Hey, Is is possible to get the full URL (''http://www.sender-domain.com/links/list.html'') from where a user was sent to my site (www.my-domain.com/controller/action) e.g. by clicking on a link? (I read about something called a ''request'' object, I don''t know what it is or does, is that what I''m looking for? I''m very new to Rails

Hi. I would like to set @request.env["HTTP_REFERER"] in an integration test, but due to its nature, I would naturally set this value to the previousle request url. How do I do that. Thanks. Jarl

Howdy, I''m using Apache 2.2 + Mongrel with great success, using the sample configs from the Mongrel site. We have some MP3s on the site and recently someone has been stealing them and basically leaching them from the site, linking to them from an off-site location. I''ve been trying to modify my Apache conf to check the referrer and adjust accordingly as below but no

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'',

Hello I have a rails 3 app and I am trying to implement the redirect back action at access denied for cancan. If I try this in my application_controller: rescue_from CanCan::AccessDenied do |exception| redirect_to :back end It gives the following error: No HTTP_REFERER was set in the request to this action, so redirect_to :back could not be called successfully. If this is a test, make sure

Hey guys, Ok, basically I coded a ruby on rails CMS to manage a bunch of media files. I am finding that a lot of people are "hot linking" to these media files and would like to prevent this to save bandwidth. Usually in the past, it hasn''t been a problem, I would add something like the following to my .htaccess file RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$

I keep getting a blank page containing only the following: "There was a controller specfic error processing your request." Though I have the following in my application.rb def rescue_action_in_public(exception) case exception when UnknownAction, ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound then render :controller => "application", :action =>
