Is there any way to have rsync compare against a file with a *different* name? What I'd like to do is compare a vm - whatsit.img against a backup - whatsit.current, that's a symlink to whatsit.timestamp, and if different, *then* make the copy (which my script will then move to whatsit.newtimestamp, and change the symlink to point to the new one, then remove the old (or maybe save an older

Here is the scenario I am trying to achieve. Basically, I want to run the action "show" from my controller, without adding the "show/id". Standard: http://www.domain.com/controllerName/show/id I would like: http://www.domain.com/controllerName/randomstring (where randomstring is a field in my model/table, that is equivalent to a GUID -> and unique). I''m confused

Basically, I''m trying to have a table called "categories" have a many to many relationship with itself. But I also want each catagory to be able to be "copied" into another category so it is essentially a child category to more than one parent. To me the obvious way of doing this is by creating another table called category_maps (and a model called CategoryMap).

Hi list, how are ya? So, my current project is just begging for the ability to have parameterized associations in my ActiveRecord classes. Basically I need something that is a cross between named scopes and standard associations (has_many specifically). I''m wondering if such a thing exists or, if not, if anyone else has an elegant, equivalent solution? Example: class Sprocket <

I''ve stucked to such problem: I have html entities in database, after using scaffold I''ve got these chars not converted (I have strictly " and & in page source).

Got a noob question for ya... When I visit http://localhost:3000/ I get the nice "Welcome to rails" page. To get to a controller I have to go to: http://localhost:3000/controllername What if I don''t want the welcome message and want / to resolve to a controller? How do I set that up?

I''m trying to render a component that pulls information based on a parameter that is passed by a link_to item, but my params object is nil for the following code in the controller: records = ControllerName.find(params[:id]) but the error page also has this: Parameters: {"id"=>"7"} I''ve tried to access it (in the controller) using: variable =

Hi all, we''re just in the process of upgrading to the new asset pipeline, but I''m having an annoying issue with Sprockets. It turns out that I can''t enable both *debug* and *digest* in development mode. When I do, I get a Errno::ENAMETOOLONG because the digest becomes the *entire* *content* of the file instead of a hex. I get this with both sass and javascript.

When I started developing my application I grouped my controllers in the followin g fashion: User::ControllerName. Now I''ve realized that the ''User'' module is a misnomer for my current controllers and I need to use the User module for something else, so I decided to change the controllers in the ''User'' module to ''Data''.

Just monkey patched Sprockets in our Rails 3.2.9 app to override the Cache-Control header for html assets that we need to tweak more often in development, but that we don''t want to use digests/fingerprinting with: # Sprockets 2.x patch if Rails.env.development? module Sprockets module Server private alias_method :sprockets_headers, :headers def headers(env,

I''m using template components to modularize an application I''m working on and am really happy with the way it''s going. Unfortunately, all my attempts at writing functional tests for them fail. Trying to duplicate my normal controller tests I have: require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../test_helper'' require File.dirname(__FILE__) +

Hi, I am working on a table with name "addresses". However when I do a ruby script/generate scaffold Address, I am not able to access http://localhost:3000/addresses. I am getting the following error. uninitialized constant Addres This error occured while loading the following files: addres.rb How do I resolve this issue. Thanks Silvy MAthews

While it was a good move from Rails part to escape ERB <%= %> tags by default, it doesn''t seem to happen to Sprockets as well. The strange bit is that according to Sprockets documentation, it would be just a matter of naming your template as .jst.eco to enable Eco: https://github.com/sstephenson/sprockets#javascript-templating-with-ejs-and-eco Then, extracted from Eco

I need to include another helper module apart from the normal two (ApplicationHelper and [controllername]Helper). The inclusion needs to be dynamic and based on external parameters (ie what helper that get included differ from request to request). Is it possible? How? /Marcus

At times I''ve gotten the message "No Server Running" from drbspec with my rails app. The thing is, the drb server certainly is running! This happened a few times with my model specs. I''m not sure exactly what the problem was there - I believe I was loading up fixtures that didn''t exist. I was calling fixtures :singular_table_name as opposed to
