In my daily development, I migrate back and forth between versions, and often do: rake load_fixtures... ... in order to populate my development database with fun data. Now, with any HABTM relationship, there are failures, as there is no way to say "which" fixtures to load first. Within an actual functional or unit test case, you could simply load them in the proper order, but

it''s been a nightmare trying to set it up. I keep getting a an Application Error message when I try to navigate to a url which should be taken care of by my newly created controllers. For instance, I wanted to test RoR out so I created a MyTest controller which should allow me to navigate something like: http://localhost/rubytest/MyTest but it does not. I have no problem getting

Erwin: We found it''s not worth the time to do this. It won''t work reliably. You''re in for a world of hurt. We''ve given up on the idea after several months of trying (and some great feedback from this list). There are some on this list who claim to have gotten it to work, but that might just be luck. We''re now using Apache on a higher port, and using

I''m thinking about signing up with DreamHost for the base Level 1 $9.95 plan. Does anyone think that''s a bad idea? I''d like to know others thoughts, and who they recommend for RoR hosting? Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m just looking into how to connect to Oracle using Rails. I''ve got everything connecting and working as it should. I have a Users table in Oracle: create_table "users", :force => true do |t| t.column "username", :string t.column "created_on", :datetime t.column "email", :string t.column "note", :text

Can someone explain why form helpers appear to bypass any model methods I override for fields that are bound to database fields? It would be great if someone could tell me how to force the form field, etc to call the method instead of looking at the database / attributes collection. Let''s say I have a column called ''price'' in my database table "books"

All, When I generate scaffolding on my model, it doesn''t display all the fields in the create and edit views. It populates the views with text/char and date types, but omits any integer fields. Is this normal behavior or a bug? Thanks! -Nick

Hi fellow railers! We are discussing the possibility of writing a very large application in Rails. By "very large" I mean a framework that would contain a few hundred smaller applications that would need to talk to one big database and have to share some common session data I''d like to get some feedback on some possible ways of doing the following: The application would

I''m trying to decide which IDE to go with for RoR development. I put a high premium on integrated test automated tools and debugging capabilities. I''d appreciate any sharing of experience. I''m currently running Instant Rails on a Windows 2000 box (using IR due to problems I encountered trying to get all the components set up individually). Also, I''m using

Hi, I''d like to allow users to upload images and store those images in a Postgres database. I''ve looked through the example in "aguile development with rails" which suggests using the MySQL blob field. When I wrote a similar app in Java, we Base64 encoded the file and then stored it as a text field. Is this easy to do in RoR too? Any advice you can give me would

Is there a place I can get a list of "enterprise" Rails applications? Apparently, even though I''ve looked at the wiki and cited the examples there, there are some at my organization who still can''t find proof that Rails is usable in an enterprise setting. Would you fine folks be able to tell me about some large-scale projects that could be classified as

I''ve done my development using WEBrick, and now I want to put my application on a server that uses Apache. (not with fcgi) I think I''ve done everything like I''m supposed to, but when surfing to my site I get: Application error Rails application failed to start properly" In /var/log/apache/error_log, I get this error:

I don''t think there''s a way to do that other than using a proxy (ISAPI_REWRITE) or just a server-side redirect. I''d love to be proven wrong though. -----Original Message----- From: rails-bounces@lists.rubyonrails.org [mailto:rails-bounces@lists.rubyonrails.org] On Behalf Of frazer horn Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 9:13 AM To: rails@lists.rubyonrails.org Subject:

Ok, been banging my head on this and just can''t figure it. Normally, any table that has a belongs_to to another table you can easily access it by: table1.table2.field And it works perfectly for one table I have. Let''s call it... tags. So, I''ve got: Tag -> has_many :blah_tags Blah -> has_many :blah_tags Blah_tag -> belongs_to :tag, belongs_to :blah Ok, works

Hey, am i to stupid to find the information about how to route to a controller in a module? Maybe module support has gone! The controller is under: app/controllers/admin/my_controller.rb The my_controller.rb file looks like this: module Admin class MyController def index render :text => ''Hello!'' end end end How does a route to all controllers under module

I''d like to announce acts_as_habtm_list plugin for rails. acts_as_habtm_list is a Ruby on Rails plugin, that can manage ordered lists through a join-table. It is providing almost the same Api as acts_as_list. The position column has to be defined in the join table. You can find additional information at: http://www.inlet-media.de/acts_as_habtm_list/ Install it executing this command

I''m trying to be a good rails developer and fix DRY violations as i find them. However, i''m trying to fix this one, i cant seem to get it to work. I have two tables A and B that have a one-to-one relationship. Table B belongs_to Table A. Table A has_one Table B. I''m creating instances of Table A in different places, depending on the controller. However, for each

I''m very new to Rails. I''ve been reading Agile Web Dev for a while and read up on ruby, but I''m still learning. I designed a website for someone for an engineering shop. New projects had to be added manually. Well, I figured this would be a great canidate for railifying! I have the form working perfectly, you can add your data and get it in a table, and listing
