Hi all, I''m in the process of creating rspecs for my helpers. One of the helpers in app/helpers/application_helper.rb looks like this: def page_name @page_name || "Define @page_name in #{controller.controller_name}::#{controller.action_name}" end The rspec is simply: it "should something" do page_name end

When working with views, I use instance methods of ApplicationHelper: # app/helpers/application_helper.rb: module ApplicationHelper def distribute(total, min, cutof, list) [1,2,3] end end # app/views/planner/_mta_colors.rhtml: <td> <% ... dist = distribute(total_v_px, 4, 0, colors.collect{|color| color[1]}) ... %> So to test the distribute method in ApplicationHelper, I have

Hi, My helper specs were going ok until I added a call to a rails DateHelper method in one of my helpers http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/ DateHelper.html#M000574 The helper runs fine from my view templates, just dies in the spec test. I boiled my question down to a simple (not too useful) example. I''m not sure what I''m missing. #

Hello all, Long time reader, first time poster! I am a relative newcomer (no idea what on earth I am doing) to Ruby, Rails and Rspec and have a feeling I am probably trying to run before I know how to walk. I had imagined a cool way of outputting a div around some form stuff which would have a class on it if the related field had errors, something a bit like: <%

I am a little confused by the includes I suspect. In the book, it states that runtime environment will load the directories app, app/models, app/controllers, app/helpers, app/apis, components, config, lib, vendor and vendor/rails/*. However, when I try to access my "current_project" public method, it fails with a NoMethodError. What is even stranger is that I can use reflection to find

What helpers, if any, should be available to a view for ActionMailer? Even ApplicationHelper methods don''t seem to be available. This is on Rails 1.0. David

Hi... I''ve written some simple helper method. My method uses standard helper methods from Rails. When I try to use them from templates - everything is working, but when I try to execute from my helper I get an exception. Here is my code: module ApplicationHelper def reset_add_function r=update_element_function("add") { link_to_remote( "Nowy watek",

We''ve been having problems writing functional tests for helper methods that rely on ActionView methods. Here''s a specific example. In application_helper.rb I''ve got a method called ''party_link()¨: def party_link(party) link_to party.full_name, { :controller => ''contacts'', :action =>

Below is what I''ve tried to get out of the "Four Days on Rails" tutorial but no luck. Any help would be appreciated. Am I on the right track? Thanks, Sam

Hi, I''m getting an error I just can''t find any cause for. The error is "A copy of ApplicationHelper has been removed from the module tree but is still active!" and gets thrown in a Template that uses a method defined in my ApplicationHelper. The error occurs only in development mode. The error did not occur before my switch to Ruby 1.8.7 and Rails 2.1.2 minutes ago. I

I just switched our project over to Edge Rails, and I''m running into this problem with all of my helper methods that call _url methods: NoMethodError in ''ApplicationHelper home_link should generate a valid home link when User.current and Profile.current is not set'' You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! You might have expected an instance of

Hi, In our project, we have a number of forms to be filled by the users. The forms are presented as wizards - each form as a number of steps. I would like to know whether there is an existing helper developed by the Rails community that can let me create wizards easily. We also want all wizards to have the same look and feel.

I don''t have a blog, but wanted to share this little bit of code with other semi-beginners like myself who are still learning to take advantage of rails features. Selecting an attribute with a boolean switch is a common pattern in forms. You can do it with a check box, but radio buttons are more expressive in some situations and better convey to the user that they are making a mandatory
