I''m using the rescue_action_in_public example from the Agile book to handle errors and email serious ones to me. In my application.rb controller: def rescue_action_in_public(exception) logger.error("rescue_action_in_public executed") case exception when ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound, ActionController::RoutingError, ActionController::UnknownAction

I am having trouble getting error_messages_for to work. My controller(relevant parts) looks like def configure @account = session[:account] @user = User.new end def add_new_user_to_account @user = User.new(params[:user]) if @user.valid? session[:account].users << @user end redirect_to :action=> ''configure'' end end and my

Hello, I''m new to rails and I''m trying to wrap my heads around how to spec controllers using RSpec (using rails 3rc1 and rspec 2.0.0.beta.19). The problem I''ve run into is when I want to test that my controllers respond with a 404 for unfound records. Whenever I run the spec, the ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound exception is not caught by rails, causing the spec

Hi, I think the columns and table in migration should be able to have an optional "display_name" set manually. Something like: create_table :people, {display_name => "Personne"} do |t| t.column :first_name :string, :display_name => "Prénom". end Let me explain my point of view: Rails is a framework made to write programs in English. You see it when you

I copied (and modified) this code from AWDWR: def rescue_action_in_public(exception) case exception when ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound, ActionController::UnknownAction render :template=>''/error'', :layout=>''application'', :status=>''404 Not Found'' else render :template=>''/error'',

Hi, I''m having a strange problem that only seems to be happening on our production server. I never get this error locally but get it quite often on the server. The other odd thing is it doesn''t seem to be resulting in any error pages on the site. Everything looks fine... I wanted to add a rescue_action_in_public to email me when there are errors. So I followed the

As I am in development environment, I wrote in my config/environment.rb ActionController::Base.consider_all_requests_local = false in my application.rb, I wrote def rescue_action_in_public(exception) case exception when RoutingError, UnknownAction render :file => "#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/404.html", :status => 404 else logger.error

Hi, I''m using ActionController::rescue_action_in_public() to send emails when uncaught exceptions happen. Is it possible to write tests for that? Joe

Hello Folks, I am starting out with RoR and just browsed through Dave''s book ? couldn''t stop reading. I started building a prototype to get better hands on experience and I have run into two simple issues that I am hoping will be a quick answer for some of you experts out there. *Issue 1:* >From within a "companies" controller and list_companies.rhtml view

Hey all, I am writing a plugin in which I want to stop the rendering of an action with an unauthorized response if the user is not authorized to view the resource. I am using a before filter to achieve this and inside that before filter I do it like so: render :text => "Unauthorized!", :status => :unauthorized, :layout => false The status is properly set since I see the

Hi All, I am just trying to learn ruby/rails so please don''t flame me if this is a stupid question. As a learning project I decided to create my own blog using ROR. I have created a controller that shows paged blog entries, and below each blog is a list of comments along with a form alowing the user to add a new comment. To create the form for the comment entry I used form_for

Hello, When I call an action with some invalid XML or JSON data a parse exception gets raised from within Rails/Ruby (REXML or ActiveSupport::JSON). The problem that I''ve got is how to handle these exceptions. In my application_controller.rb I have the following for debugging purposes: def rescue_action_in_public(exception) respond_to do |request| request.all { render :text =>

Hey All ! I have a form which contains two models. I would like both models to be validated, but have their validations aggregated on the page. If I do: <%= error_messages_for(:model1) %> <%= error_messages_for(:model2) %> It puts two big validation blocks on the page. I would like all the errors from both models, but only in one validation box. Is this possible ? All my attempts

Hello all ! I have a model being validated that spits it''s error messages on the resulting page using: error_messages_for(:mymodel) .... Basic stuff. It''s working perfectly. Now, I have something else I want to check on the same page (that isn''t an attribute to the Model)... and am trying to add it using: @mymodel.errors.add_to_base("another error here")

I''m trying to use the exception notifier plugin and I''m getting this error message: NoMethodError (undefined method `respond_to'' for #<Adm::PeriodController:0xb74c9804>): /vendor/plugins/exception_notification/lib/exception_notifiable.rb:64:in `render_500'' /vendor/plugins/exception_notification/lib/exception_notifiable.rb:76:in

I keep getting a blank page containing only the following: "There was a controller specfic error processing your request." Though I have the following in my application.rb def rescue_action_in_public(exception) case exception when UnknownAction, ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound then render :controller => "application", :action =>

I want to know the standard/easiest way to add items to a parent? Example: comment added to post I would like this to happen in the ?show? view of post using a form that is shown when the user clicks the ?add new? button/link. I would also like validation on the child form with the validation errors appearing in the post show? view. Two problems are presented: 1) When the user clicks the

I''ve recently run into a problem with one of my applications that refuses to send emails using ActionMailer. Looking at the log, it become obvious what''s happening, the system is looking for templates with underscores at the end. Notice the exception_notification_ . For example: ActionView::ActionViewError (No rhtml, rxml, rjs or delegate template found for

I''ve been banging my head against the wall trying to update a table (add/delete rows) using Ajax. It seems simple enough but just doesn''t work for me. I can get it to work using DIVs instead of a table, but doing the layout with DIVs is much more cumbersome and I know it works for others with a table (though I haven''t been able to find an exact example code anywhere).

Howdy, I''m working on my first RoR project, and I want to build a form. The tricky thing is, this form needs to insert / update against two models, each with their own validation rules. Unfortunately, I''m having an incredible amount of difficulty with the error handling, specifically the fields wrapped in <div class=''fieldWithErrors''></div>
