But when I try to create the first table, I get the following error, and I have no idea what this means. Any

Hey Chaps, Forgive me for not fully understanding the inner workings of merb, but I would like to read in a YAML configuration file once when the application is booted rather than reading it every time it is used (as presumably the overhead in doing that is significant?) - I had presumed this is how both Merb and rails do it for there database.yml config files (hence its a requirement

Hi, I just upgraded my rails app from rails3.0.0beta4 to rails3.0.0rc and I''m having problems loading a yaml file. I have a load_config.rb in the initializers folder which loads a yaml file. The basic loading code is: FACEBOOK_CONFIG = YAML.load_file(File.join(Rails.root, ''config'', ''facebooker.yml''))[RAILS_ENV] This stopped working when I moved to

I am working on building a facter tag based node classifier similar to https://github.com/jordansissel/puppet-examples/tree/master/nodeless-puppet/. However, I have run into an issue where I cannot use puppet''s require file ability to push the yaml file containing the facts file to the client because it would require two runs of puppet to pickup changes. Consequently, I have written into

Hi. What is the best way to pre-populate your database with records while developing, not testing? For example, I want to: 1) > [run this command to populate db] 2) > ruby script/server 3) now I can surf to localhost:3000 and my app will already have relevant data I''m hoping to use yaml to suck it in. Is there a way to use the Fixture class to handle this even though this is

Hey there I''ve got instant rails installed, and it''s phpmyadmin can find the database at the ascribed mysql port (3210) ...however, altho i have got my ''depot_development'' db in there (along with the other dbs that ship with instant rails)... the rake script from the instant rails command interface cant find ''depot_development''.

All, Apache 2/FastCGI on Linux My fastcgi config. file is set up to run the "test" RAILS_ENV. When I go to access a view associated with a particular controller, I keep getting a ENOENT (file not found) error on a custom config. file that I am attempting to load. What I can''t figure out is why it can''t find the file. Here''s the code that loads it in my

In my daily development, I migrate back and forth between versions, and often do: rake load_fixtures... ... in order to populate my development database with fun data. Now, with any HABTM relationship, there are failures, as there is no way to say "which" fixtures to load first.

I''m attempting to store a value that''s dependent on an environment variable in a custom .yml file, like so: job_folder: "#{RAILS_ROOT}/jobs" Doesn''t seem to like that.
