What is the general opinion about fixtures versus mocking and stubbing in model specs? I heard from agile on IRC that they save the database testing for integration testing, but I also see that the caboose sample applicaiton uses fixtures. I also noticed that on the rspec site, it says "Ironically (for the traditional TDD''er) these are the only specs that we feel should actually

Hi. I am developing an industry specific crm that allows busineses to track customers in a particular way. Each customer will be assigned a customer number. The first customer will have a customer number of 1, the second customer_number = 2, etc... Note that this customer number is not global but particular to the account that created the customer (see schema snip below). I need to have a

Hi, I ve defined the following relation in one of my models with a dynamic where condition: has_one :selection, :foreign_key => ''object_id'', :conditions => ''selection_type = 1 and account_id = # {self.send(:account_id)}'' That works perfect, however when I try to eager load that relation I am getting the following error when doing a

I wanted to get the community opinion on the best way to use partials and inline list (<li>) editing. I have a very common scenario where a list is rendered: --- index.rhtml --- <ul> <%= render :partial => ''item'', @collection => @items %> </ul> --- _item.rhtml (simplified) --- <li id="item_<%= item.id %>"> <div

Hello, I''ve come across an issue that I''m sure is a bug when using after_create with a has_one association, but I''m not 100% certain if I''m missing something. This is pretty much exactly the code I''m using. Two simple classes (Account and Contact) and I create the contact after I create an account (via after_create). I''m not passing in a

Does anyone know the best way to track time zone information. There doesn''t seem to be much documentation on this. So far it seems like a simple db field like create table accounts ( id int unsigned not null auto_increment, name varchar(50) not null, time_zone varchar(50) not null, ... primary key (id) ) and a class like class Account < AR ...

Hi. In controller code I''m doing things like: flash[:success] = "Customer {#@customer.name} has been deleted." I know how to escape html in views by using the h() method. How can I do the same thing here in the controller? Thanks, Zack

Hi, I''m setting up a site that will bill on a monthly basis. I would rather not have to worry about storing customer credit card information. Does anyone have recommendations on payment processors that offer monthly billing services? I don''t want to go the paypal route as I want the user to stay on the site. I''m hoping to find an API to integrate with. I have

Hi all, I''ve got a rails and database question. Accounts have jobs, and job numbers should be assigned per account. Account 89 should have jobs 1-whatever, which are not the same as account 67, which has jobs 1-whatever. In the past, I have accomplished this quite easily with: create table job ( accountid int(10) unsigned not null default 0, jobid int(10) unsigned not null

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

I''m looking for a plugin/whatever for preloading fixtures, to run tests with FKs defined. Specifying load order just doesn''t work for me, I need to purge the test db, load all fixtures, and only then create the FK constraints. Any suggestions?

I am working on streamlining one of my apps, and trying to wrap my hands around through, polymorphic, and with_scope. All of these i know i need for what i want to do, based on the little documentation I have found. With this in mid I have tried to implement a simple through in the app to try and get my head around it. This is what I have: class Product < ActiveRecord::Base

In console, I am trying to create a User but the :account_id does not come in. Console just gives me back :account_id => nil. Obviously I''m trying to set it though. Silly console... But, I can set the account_id column in my controller like so: @user = User.new(params[:user]) @user.account_id = account.id @user.save Here''s what I give to the controller: User.create :name

I just switched from using the standard "id" column into using my own primary key and generating my own unique id for each record. But, this breaks acts_as_tree. Because my new primary key is not an integer, it breaks the SQL query as follows: StatementInvalid in PagesController#create --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello all, I have an Order object that has and belongs to many Products and has and belongs to many Loan Types. This is so I can select multiples of each in my order entry screen via checkbox groups. I''m having some trouble with saving multiple HABTM associations for a single model object; only the first HABTM association declared in the model will save during the initial @order.save

I have two tables like: Table A: id (autoincrement) name Table B id id_of_A desc I want to add a record to table A and based on the id of A, I want to add a record to table B. I don''t think there is any SQL command that support this (at least in MySQL 4.1, so I use LAST_INSERT_ID()). (Is there any other way? or MySQL 5 support any special SQL command?) But I need

Hi all, running into a little problem here. I''ve a list of things with a "New thing" link beneath it. When you click that link, obviously, a new thing shall be created. Now, that works pretty fine for things that don''t have foreign keys, but for things that do it crashes, since there is not yet a thing.other_thing.name available. I suspect you can somewhere in

Hi, I would like to figure out how to determine what the id of the last element in a table is. Is there an equivalent to the Table.find() method which will tell me the number of elements in a table? also, maybe more importantly, where are the available methods on tables documented? What i am trying to do is to increment the id and work through a table and check whether the id i am currently

Dear R-users of non-English speaking countires. Maybe a good news for those who want to use R in their local languages. Recently two Japanese, E. Nakama and M.
