Hello all, I''m having difficulty setting up mocks such that I can verify that Rails was going to render the right template file (for example new.rhtml) and stop Rails from performing the actual rendering. After peeking at Rails'' internals, I tried two techniques as illustrated here: http://pastie.caboo.se/18197 Neither worked. I think the first one failed because Rails

Hello, I''ve just started using Mocha in the tests for my Rails app, and I''ve run across an issue with mocking a method that should be called with different parameters. How would I setup a mock that expects that a method will be called once with no paramaters, and a second time with a parameter? I''d be tempted to shortcut and just do something like

Hey guys, We developed this plugin while writing my first real set of RSpec stories. It''s still missing a lot of functionality, but it''s useful to us as is, so I''m shipping 0.1.0. (Patches welcome. :) ) Code is available at: http://svn.eastmedia.net/public/plugins/webrat/ What do you think? -Bryan Here''s the README:

On my website people will be able to upload images of themselves. I was wondering how people are presently handling uploading, resizing and optimizing images in Rails? Do you use a specific piece of software to do it? What would you guys recommend? Any code from RailsDay? :-) Also, do you guys store the images in the DB or just as files? What do you suggest? What are the pros and

Hello R users, I am relatively new to the R program, and I hope some of you can offer me some suggestions on how to organize my data in R using some of the more advanced data structuring technique.

Happy RailsDay! While everyone else was out having fun with RailsDay I spent my time wisely and wrote up tons of documentation for Mongrel and cleaned out some of the docs I''ll never write anyway. I also took the time to apply some nice patches from Jonas Pfenniger for easily setting up redirects in Mongrel. Some of the highlighted documents people will be interested in are: *

I'm trying to run the PDC for my domain on a seperate server from the home directory space. Also, I want each user to be able to FTP in with their domain username and password and access files in their home directory and only -their- home directory.
