Hi, I have a strange problem with testing classes which have a HABTM relation. It seems that while running my tests with rake the fixture for the association table is not loaded - as a result I get a failure on a test which simply checks the number of associated elements - it says it''s 0 although there should be one. The weird thing is that when I run the tests with rcov

Hello, this is a typical "how do you do it in Rails" question :) I would like to incorporate fit testing into a RoR app and I''d like to hear your recommendations on how to do it.

Hello, I''m a novice to ferret, so far only used it via acts_as_ferret. My question is about a recommended pattern for an ''advanced search'', which would be searching by all fields of a model and some fields from related models, with range search, expression search and wildcards. The kind of search in which a user is presented with a huge form that allows them to set

I''m trying to find all the unique bill_number, status records in Bills table. I can do it with a find_by_sql statement like this: @records = Bill.find_by_sql( "select distinct bill_number, status from bills group by bill_number, status;") How would I rewrite it using ''find :all

Hello, I know the ticket about enabling url_for in ActionMailer views is closed and that there are some possible workarounds to this problem such as passing the controller instance or links from the controller, but I cannot figure out what to do if my emails are not sent from a controller - like periodic reminders or notifications triggered by a system scheduler, which need to include links.

I think I am missing something terribly obvious. Is it possible to have an :expects parameter for a webservice that is an array of objects?

I have class in a plugin that I want to crack open and add some functionality to for a particular application. So, I created a file by the same name as the class in my app/models folder and added some methods to the class, but, I can''t seem to get Rails (2.2.2) to pick-up the extended definition. I did find while trying to debug the problem that if I paste the extended definition into,

Hi, I have a problem concerning discrepances between R (which I use) and Statistica (which uses my supervisor). I can't say what is the origin of these differences but unfortunately my supervisor doesn't know that either. Our response variable is number (or presence/absence) of parasites in rodents and explanatory variables are presence/absence of several alleles. The rodents were

Ok, I''m hoping this won''t be a forehead slapper, but take a look at this code: physician.name.sub(/''/, "\\''") I''m trying to substitute a single quote with a backslash and a single quote.

Hi, I''m trying to include a partial in an email template but it throws me this: undefined method `controller_path'' for SupportMailer:Class Extracted source (around line #12): 11: 12: <%= render :partial => ''footer'' %> I guess email views are a little different from normal ones as they don''t seem to have a access to a proper controller (?)

I tried to use a before_save and use simple_format, it returns and undefined method error. Can I even use these methods within a model? I tried to use auto_link and it failed too. What am I doing wrong? Furthermore, would it be recommended I format text before saving it to the database? Advantages or disadvantages? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi guys. Total newbie here. I''ve been doing web stuff since 1996 but only began the foray into scripting last year. I haven''t got my skull completely 360 degrees around OOP yet. It''s just me here (in Japan) and there are no Ruby groups in my area (never mind any in English). I''ve got a database table - real simple: question, answer, and id fields - and I
