All, Although I''ve been keeping an eye on Ruby for several years now, I don''t have a huge amount of experience with it. So please forgive me if I''m missing something obvious. I''m in the process of writing my first really "serious" Rails app and would appreciate your advice. I am wondering if there is a standard idiom for including assertions in

Can anyone explain this oddity to me? Given two classes as follows: class Question < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :category end class Category < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :questions end I get the following: >> q = Question.find 6789 => #<Question:0x37e9e70 @attributes={"id"=>"6789",

We have been searching for a Rails deployment architecture which works for us for some time. We''ve recently moved from Apache 1.3 + FastCGI to Apache 2.2 + mod_proxy_balancer + mongrel_cluster, and it''s a significant improvement. But it still exhibits serious performance problems. We have the beginnings of a fix that we would like to share. To illustrate the problem, imagine a

Is there any way to configure Mongrel''s logging? Specifically, I''d like to get it to output to syslog. Our Rails apps already do this (via SyslogLogger) - is there any way to persuade Mongrel to do the same? Thanks! -- paul.butcher->msgCount++ Snetterton, Castle Combe, Cadwell Park...

Is there any documentation about how mock objects work in RoR, specifically exactly how one should use the test/mocks directory. Is it just me being incompetent searching for it, or hasn''t this been documented yet? Thanks in advance for your help! paul.butcher->msgCount++ Snetterton, Castle Combe, Cadwell Park...

Hello! Today I''m announcing a "soft but official" release of Mongrel 0.3.13.4 for the Unix fans in the crowd. It''s been running stable for quite some time now for many people, and should be great for nearly everyone. You can read the announce at: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/ This release includes new versions of mongrel_upload_progress and mongrel_cluster.

I''m trying to get basic unicode support working using the "Iteration A1" sample application from the "Agile Web Development With Rails" book. Following the "HowToUseUnicodeStrings" wiki document, I have made the following changes: config/environment.rb: # Include your application configuration below $KCODE = ''u'' require

I am aware that controllers can be placed in modules: ruby script/generate controller modulename/controllername But what does this buy me? Is it just a way of ensuring that my source code is nicely arranged, or can I use the fact that a set of controllers are all within a particular model to implement functionality common to all of those controllers? Why am I asking? The app

Rails instances themselves are almost always single-threaded, whereas Mongrel, and it''s acceptor, are multithreaded. In a situation with long-running Rails pages this presents a problem for mod_proxy_balancer. If num_processors is greater than 1 ( default: 950 ), then Mongrel will gladly accept incoming requests and queue them if its rails instance is currently busy. So even

While running tests, we would like to instrument some of the classes under test. We still want the classes to do exactly what they currently do, but we would like them to do more when running in the test environment. Clearly we can (and currently do) just extend the objects "on the fly" where necessary, but this is a bit messy - we''d like some centralised way to always

Morning Folks, As most of you know there were a few people who had the following three bugs: * CLOSE_WAIT: Lots of sockets in CLOSE_WAIT state. * 99% CPU: Mongrel''s getting "stuck" pegged at 99% CPU. * LEAK: Memory leak. I''ve successfully fixed these bugs or attributed them to one main cause: pstore. First, the memory leak was because of a bug in how the GC in Ruby

Hi All, I installed ruby184-20 and rubygems-0.9.0 on my computer. When I tried to run C:\ruby>gem install rails --include-dependencies, it showed the following message: Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::GemNotFoundException) Could not find actionpack (= 1.12.4) in the repository Could any one help to solve the above

I have tried various mail clients to read the Rails mailing list for the past 12 months. As the list volume grew, it became utterly impossible to browse through the new messages and very hard to locate the useful gems I had previously found. After subscribing to a few more lists, I realized that there had to be a better way. I could not find anything to meet my needs, so I designed

Any success stories using rails against a DB2 database on an as400? If so, how? Thanks Ed Schechter -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, currently I execute 2-3 AJAX-Calls (located at the end of html-body) on loading the page. I run into problems now because they are executed parallel of course :) How can I garuantee that the Calls are executed when the page has loaded completely ? And, more interesing, how can I make one AJAX-Call start when the previous has completely finished ? I''ve read about Effect.Queues - is

Hello, Is it possible to trigger an action in a controller when a table from database changes? I thought about using an utility like cron (railscron) to check every, e.g. 2 s, if the table changed, but I am wondering if there is a solution a bit more ''elegant'': to trigger an action exactly when the change is made. Best regards, -- Kuba Nowak

Hi All Not specifically a scriptaculous question, but I was wondering how people were going about maintaining access to their applications via standard urls. Say for example I''ve a shop at www.shop.com, and its pure ajax to load in products. Now customer A wants to show a friend a product on the site - giving him the url www.shop.com and telling him to click on a series of links

Here''s the scenario. I have a main tree-like table (actually it''s more of a hierarchy), where the entries (or at least some of them) can be categorised as one or more of a fixed number of types (prob about 6 poss types). So an entry could be a Type A and a Type D; a Type C, D, E; just a Type F; etc. Having a join table would seem like it might get rather expensive since

I was recently having problems accessing attributes in an object. Can somebody explain to me why this is, and if it is a bug? I have the following code: @archives = RapturePost.find_by_sql "select distinct date_format(rapture_posts.date_created,''%Y-%m'') date_created from rapture_posts where rapture_posts.site_id = 1 order by rapture_posts.date_created desc" I

This forum has been a great resource for me. It would be great if i can search the forum before posting any question, as i''m sure someone has already posted that question before. The search function has been disabled for quite sometime now. I''ve already emailed the administrator but haven''t got any response. any idea on when this would be enabled ? Thanks, VASU.
