Folks- With Rails 2.0.2, I''m seeing mocha failures where they did not fail with Rails 2.0.1 test_set_to_process_fail_in_transaction(FileRecordTest): NoMethodError: undefined method `ord'' for 63:Fixnum /home/wolpert/svn/rubylms/vendor/plugins/mocha/lib/mocha/class_method.rb:45:in `hidden_method''

I have a module that deals with content pages and categories in my application so create following tables: content_pages content_categories Obviously I need a Page and Category module to map to these tables, but in order to avoid conflicts with other Category classes, i declare my model classes like this: Content::Page Content::Category Now, that''s all fine - except that my models

Hello all, I''ve been trying to use a facade column but I notice that the form helpers don''t seem to respect the facade. In the following example I''m trying to story the prices as Integer values but present them to the user as decimals. class Product < ActiveRecord::Base def price=(new_price) write_attribute(:price, Float(new_price)*100) end def price

Hey all, I have a question with using mocha in my tests. In the same test file, I have two tests, <code> def test_a klass.any_instance.stubs(:method_name).returns("something") klass.new.method_name ... end def test_b ... klass.new.method_name ... end </code> where klass is some class when the tests run, test _a passes, but test_b had an error like this:

On my current project I needed to create a stub that responded correctly to the id message. Here''s the change I put into my copy of head.

Hi guys, got this problem with creating such a thing... hope anyone could help.. the problem: ok, now i have this mock object that would simulate a external rpc call. eg require ''models/xmlrpc_agent'' class XmlrpcAgent def create(params) 200 end end but the value of the value returned is fixed. which is quite hard for me to test the controller when different

I am serializing a data object (FooData) into an ActiveRecord column (Foo). I''d like to be able to do delegate methods to the data class if the Foo class doesn''t have that attribute. So instead of: f = Foo.new f.data.item1 I''d like to do: f = Foo.new f.item1 I was hoping that I could add a method_missing method to my Foo class and call methods in the FooData class

Hi all, I was wondering if anybody could help me figure why a view cannot find a method that I defined in another class. I do this in the view: (let''s say index.rhtml) <%= check_box("item_search_page", "method_name") Here, item_search_page is a variable in the view''s controller, which creates a new ItemSearchPage object. And I defined

I''ve always wanted to be able to do stuff like this in my functional tests c = customers(:customer_1) c.expects(:great_customer_service) post :service_customer, :id => c.id This of course fails because inside the rails action a different instance of customer is used. Some of the time setting your expectation/stubbing on Customer.any_instance works, but it''s not

I have a little helper that lets me add legacy fields to models where they have common prefixes, suffixes, or something else weird. Here is the method signature: def legacy_fields(options = {}, *attributes) ..... end options is a hash containing things like :prefix => "post_" - and attributes is a list of attribute names. This gets mixed into the class with extend, so I call

In ActiveRecord''s callbacks, methods within a before_create callback are called after the validation, but before the model is created. This was an intentional design decision, but I think it was the wrong one. What do you think? When I think of before_create, I think of before_validation :foo, :on => :create, but, by default, before_create is synonymous with after_validation :foo,

I am using ''redmine'' (v 0.6) as my major project manager, seems running fine w Rails 2.0 (slight modifs for paginations..) but I am stuck with a major error when sending a confirmation email : mailer.rb class Mailer < ActionMailer::Base .... # Renders a message with the corresponding layout def render_message(method_name, body) layout =

I want to upload a file. And what I am confused about is...should I upload it using a separate table or just as another file in the form. If as a separate table then I am not able to save it on the system/ Or/ If not that, then how can i check for the extensions? Do reply. Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I am having a small problem concernig how to access local variables in before_create. I am not sure how to really form this question but here goes: I am wondering why this works def before_create self.last_logged_in = Time.now self.created = Time.now end but this doesn''t def before_create @last_logged_in = Time.now @created = Time.now end The latter fails

Hello everyone, I''m having trouble figuring out which approach is better. I have the following tables: products, orders and line_items. Every time an Order is placed, the quantity field in the products table has to be updated for each LineItem in the Order. One option is to use DB triggers which is not as portable as using before_create in the Order model. But with before_create I cannot

Hi, I am having trouble using before_create when I have an specialized setter method: before_save :set_campaign_start #----------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- def set_campaign_start self.campaign_start = Time.now end # We want the date to always start at midnight

Hey Everyone. First day diving in to ROR and Ruby... My question is how do you define methods with in the model class and/or should I even be doing this? It is my understanding that you should put as much of the business logic into the model as possible. I want to do some data manipulation before I things are submitted to the database IE (Create a variable out of two submitted via form, as

I''m using Restful Authentication, and the code to create a user is pretty straight forward - there is a before_save action and a before_create action: before_save :encrypt_password before_create :make_activation_code But for some reason when I try to create a user programmatically in the controller like this: User.new(:email =>
