Hi all, I was a client site today on another project and we started talking about RoR. I wanted to show it in action, so I downloaded the one-click Ruby installer for Windows and then tried to do "gem install Rails -include-dependencies". After a time-out period I received the following error: ERROR: While executing gem.(Gem::RemoteSourceException) Error fetching remote gem

I just got an email update on a radrails bug that I submitted a while back... Unfortunately, it''s just stupid spammers. So, I tried to go to the radrails trac to delete the spam or at least report it, and their trac is puking python errors (including environment information) all over the page! I can''t seem to get to any pages with any contact info, so I''m trying

Running script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/laszlo-plugin/tags/openlaszlo fails, returning the help information for the "export" command: export: Create an unversioned copy of a tree. usage: 1. export [-r REV] URL [PATH] 2. export [-r REV] PATH1 [PATH2] etc...

My apologies if this is the wrong place for this but...it should be really simple. When I use a Generator in Radrails, nothing happens. I (believe) I have properly set the path to Ruby and still nothing. And, it doesn''t seem there is an error log to further diagnose what is happening. I am using 0.5.3 on Windows. Am I missing something obvious? As a P.S., is anyone particularly fond of

Since RadRails 0.6 is out (see http://www.radrails.org/ ), I have made a "celebratory illustrated tutorial" on how to use the Eclipse update function to do the upgrade from within Eclipse (I found the process a tad confusing): http://wiki.awebfactory.com.ar/awebfactory/published/UpdateRadRails saludos, Victor Kane awebfactory.com.ar -------------- next part -------------- An HTML

Hi, I''ve just now started learning Ruby on Rails. Someone told me that I should get RadRails to use as my IDE. RadRails.org seems to be dead now. Has something bad happened? Or do I just have my URL wrong? Is there another good Rails IDE? I''m developing on windows right now. Thanks! TAD -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I''ve followed the rad rails instructions for importing a project and have two issues. First my console tab shows "Console is not available" I don''t know if that''s significant or not, yet. Second, I''ve created a WebBrick server, but it doesn''t respond when I try to start it from withing RadRails. There''s no error shown.

Link helper namings counterintuitive in an environment where convention over configuration prevails: <%= link_to_javascript ''myscript'' %> <%= stylesheet_link_tag ''mystyle'' %> A simple def in ActionView::Helpers::AssetTagHelper would fix things in a nice, backward-compatible way, such that: <%= link_to_javascript

What is the "right" way to refer to static resources (i.e. files in ./public)? The problem with the obvious way (hard-coded root, such as href="/stylesheets/myapp.css") is that it doesn''t survive ProxyPass and some other such things. Alex

I''m having a silly little problem with migrations.  All I''m trying to do is to add an SSN column to my Employees table.  I generated a migration which looks like: class AddSsn &lt; ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up     add_column :employees, :ssn, :string end def self.down     remove_column :employees, :ssn   end end When I run this, however, I get: &gt;rake

A client of mine has a ton of data stored in Excel spreadsheets. I''m building a web application for her (backed by a real db of course) and want to import all that data.

Hi all, The Rails book talks about running Rails under Apache, but is there a (relatively) easy way to deploy it to either Tomcat or JBoss? Is the CGI servlet the only option?

Here''s something that caused me a couple of hours of head-scratching today: Apparently, if your model doesn''t derive from ActiveRecord, it is NOT reloaded for each operation in the development environment. I was working with something that uses a single model per session, and stores its data in the session. I kept wondering why I didn''t see my changes. Finally, I
