similar to: Action fails silently - breakpoint doesn''t hit

I ran into this error message a quite a few times since my app requires branching to different pages from the same action... say using a switch statement. Ofcourse I found that you can use multiple redirects or renders if you do render :action => ''new'' and return false I hate to code something I don''t understand fully. Any explanation of this will be greatly

Did I sound like our President? :) <spin> I didn''t explain myself well. I am not thinking of buying the identically equipped PC laptop either at the same price. If I had a $2500-$3000 budget (laptop, Applecare + case etc) I might consider the Mac, but then in the PC laptop universe there are more options of going with the slower processors (T2300 or T2400) for about $1,000 less

Hi all, Like most other frameworks, Ruby groups code by Model/View/Controller instead of by task, and therefore I''m having a hard time debugging a problem from the Agile Rails book where looping through @items errors out because one or more items is nil. I managed to empty the cart by placing session[:cart] = nil in find_cart() in the store_controller_rb, and the problem continued

I just installed svn-1.3.1 from .dmg on an intel mac. I am getting ... subversion/libsvn_wc/log.c:338: (apr_err=155009) svn: In directory ''sr'' subversion/libsvn_subr/io.c:565: (apr_err=2) svn: Can''t copy ''sr/.svn/tmp/text-base/README.svn-base'' to ''sr/README.tmp'': No such file or directory Any one getting this? TIA for any help.

I am saving an array of active record objects (college courses) in the session as session[:course_list]. This is the cart for a registration controller. If a student chooses to delete the course from the list I get the :id as params[:id]. However if I do session[:course_list].delete_if {|x| x.id ==params[:id]} does not work. session[:course_list].delete_at(idx) works. Ocourse to do this I have

Hi, This msg for Chad Fowler or anyone who fits the subject line. I bought the Recipes book and really like the way it has been progressing. There is one subject I''d like to see explored in detail. Having come from Assembly and C background I find that a ''must have'' tool in your collection is the debugger. I find debugging a Rails App the most thorny issue inversely

Since RadRails 0.6 is out (see http://www.radrails.org/ ), I have made a "celebratory illustrated tutorial" on how to use the Eclipse update function to do the upgrade from within Eclipse (I found the process a tad confusing): http://wiki.awebfactory.com.ar/awebfactory/published/UpdateRadRails saludos, Victor Kane awebfactory.com.ar -------------- next part -------------- An HTML

I have a subversion repo on a Debian Sarge server. I do rails development on two Debian workstations (home, work) and also a MacBookPro. I installed subversion from Darwinports. Things worked ok for a while and I did commits from and updates to all three machines until today. When I did svn status I noticed a lock on the working dir. $ svn status ? Rakefile ? readme ! L . .... etc I cannot

This is a high traffic list as it is and it is really annoying to see that SPAM is on the rise here. I wonder how they can spam the list since each user has to be authenticated. Do spammers go through the trouble of subscribing to the list? In any case, this msg is to the list admin...could you please do whatever it takes to filter this stuff out? Thank you very much. -bakki

I needed to install rmagick/GraphicsMagick on an IntelMac and did so from Darwinports. Some things work and others don''t work, like rendering fonts which needs X11 fonts and X server. The rmagick page at rubyforge points to .. http://developer.apple.com/opensource/tools/runningx11.html where X11 link to Apple is broken. X11User.pkg talked about on the page above no longer exists at

Hello, I''ve been trying to get my head around ferret and the one thing that stumps me is how I might use Drb on a dedicated server with multiple clients using the SAME application but each with their own private database and other file assets (in an uploads directory within the app) Thank you for any suggestions, pointer etc. Also I''d be very interested in hearing from those

Hi, I''ve been doing most of my initial playing with rails on a windows system - but wish to switch to a dedicated linux box for this. Are there any particular distro''s to avoid / recommend. I prefer debian for my other stuff, but thought i''d ask before going ahead. :) Cheers -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all, I am strangely getting errors on Debian Etch on a Intel server though I had done an identical install of mongrel-1.0.1 on an amd64 version of Etch. While building fastthreads I get: ERROR: While executing gem ...

Hi all, I have a page in which a div is updated with some html via Ajax. The returned html contains an autocomplete field. The autocomplete field works but the drop down results div does not get css applied to it so the selections don''t get highlighted when I use the up/down arrows and so I am unable to select from the drop down except for the first item. I have been looking at this in

Has anyone implemented a captcha with ruby on rails and rmagick?

Hi all What''s the easiest way to protect my forms using a security code? Is there any plugin available for this? Thanks a lot. :-) Josh -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

After developing in Java for years in IDEs I''m starving for a decent ruby debugger. When learning new codebasesI find it invaluable to use the debugger to step through the system and see how things work at runtime. Using RDT in Eclipse is fine but it''s excruciating to wait minutes for the default debugger to finally reach my breakpoints on tests that normally take seconds to

I have the following scaffold generated code which does not run. It does not even hit the breakpoint. def create breakpoint() @student = Student.new(params[:student]) if @student.save flash[:notice] = ''Student was successfully created.'' redirect_to :action => ''list'' else render :action => ''new'' end

I am new to rails and want to learn the ''best practices'' up front. So I have a few questions and hope someone can help: 1. Using Ajax to update a div. The remote_function must call an action on a controller. This causes me two problems: 1.a The action is only ever used by the ajax call, but can now be accessed through the browser. I want ajax to call a method/action
