similar to: Enum patch for Rails

I am attempting to write a FrontBase activerecord adaptor. I''m down to only two unit tests failing, and one of them is binary_test.rb. I can''t figure out the logic of binary to string conversion. Internally, I want the ''data'' attribute to be a String object identical to the contents of BINARY_FIXTURE_PATH = File.dirname(__FILE__) +

Hi fantastic rails core developers. Speaking of version 2.3.5: I find it rather error_prone that values such that "some text" is silently converted to false when stored in a boolean DB field. Among other things it means that assign "some text" to boolean fields on a model will not generate any validation messages (it will silently be converted to false). I think it is like

value_to_boolean(value), does not always return a boolean value, only when true. 150: def value_to_boolean(value) 151: if value.is_a?(String) && value.blank? 152: nil 153: else 154: TRUE_VALUES.include?(value) 155: end 156: end If value is contained in TRUE_VALUES then it returns true(TrueClass). But if value is

Hello, I am a developer who has just started working on a large scale website in a team of 5 other developers. One of the developers has introduced some enum columns into the the database. Now, by default, active record doesn''t support enum column types but I have added the enum-column plugin into our project. This has worked very well except for a few instances where he

I''m getting the following bug when I try to run rake db:migrate in Rails 3 beta 4: $ rake db:migrate --trace (in C:/Users/Adam/Documents/Aptana Workspace/QuestionBank) default formats are encoded in ISO-8859-1 ** Invoke db:migrate (first_time) ** Invoke environment (first_time) ** Execute environment ** Execute db:migrate == CreateUsers: migrating

Hi all, I just noticed that in ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::Column.type_cast[1] (and type_cast_code[2]) the type casting for float columns simply does value.to_f, whereas all the others have a rescue or call out to a method, the default implementations of which have rescues or enough logic in that I don''t think they''d fail. Imagine the following: create_table :vehicle do

hi, I am experiencing a very strange problem with my Rails installation. I''m using ruby 1.8.6 on Debian Linux, with edge rails. Whenever I try to start mongrel, I get an exception about "can''t modify frozen string". I get a similar exception when I try to do "rake db:migrate". In this case, the exception seems to pop up *after* the migrations do succesfully

I beat my head against a wall for almost 2 hours with this issue. My first problem was easily solved. I wanted a class that could use ActiveRecord''s validation capabilities but without using a table behind it (I would be persisting setup information in the session, but the initial setup parameters come from a user input form) No problem...found this link which got me up and running

Ive followed this example of how to validate a form with a tableless model: http://rails.techno-weenie.net/tip/2005/11/19/validate_your_forms_with_a_table_less_model Ive got this example working but when validation fails the failed boxes are not highlighted in red. At the moment i have a contact details form and want to validate the information entered by the user but this will just result

I know that Rails doesn''t handle database ENUMs. I''d say that 9/10, you can get away with just using varchar instead. However, there ARE instances where you need certain functionality that ENUMs provide (ie: integrity at the datalevel). I have a working function that will show what enum types are available for a certain column in a table (I believe this will only work for

So this has left me completely confused. I''m trying to get the test suite going on an existing app, but things going a little crazy. In the application directory if I do ''rake'' or ''rake test'' I get: rake aborted! Lost connection to MySQL server during query However if I do ''rake test:units'' or ''rake

Hi you all, I have a model simulating an ActiveRecord model, according to the tips stated in [1]. It is simulated because even though I am gonna save the attributes in a file, not in a DB, I still want the validations made by ActiveRecord::Base (see code below). Well, the thing is that I also want the behaviour of the created_on and updated_on columns, that get modified automatically before

Hey everyone I''m building an application that is using a mySQL SET datatype sad The problem is that ActiveRecord thinks this is a date! Here''s the relevant output from Model.columns: #<ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::MysqlColumn:0x351b488 @primary=false, @scale=nil, @sql_type="set(''Any'',''Grade School'',''High

In order to coerce Rails 1.2.x into supporting Unicode values for an attribute in a model, I found I had to do the following: 1) Change the underlying column type from varchar to nvarchar. 2) Prepend any quoted values going into nvarchar columns with a capital-letter-N, e. g. ''unicode'' becomes N''unicode'' In order to accomplish this, I modified

I am trying to create an application loosely based on the Depot application presented in Agile Web Development with Rails (AWDwR). I am using InstantRails for the server. In my app I have the folowing controllers: admin_controller application_controller city_map_controller (with method: displayGMap) The admin_controller was created with the following command: ruby script/generate scaffold

Hey there, I would like to be able to enter dates in a few different formats. As well as the standard 2006-01-01 format I want to be able to enter it in m/d/yy format (eg 1/1/06 for 2006-01-01), and d mmm yy (eg 1 Jan 06). What''s the simplest way to do this? I had a go at changing ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::Column.string_to_date, and that *seems* to work, but I''m not

All - Trying not to fight rails on this, basically have a form and all the same as would be with an ActiveRecord model except that there is no table. I started out using this article: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/315850/rails-model-without-database ...which is kind of a hack by inheriting ActiveRecord in to non-AR model but am running into some problems and just have the feeling that I am
