Very bizarre behavior has cropped up in a few spots. # the action for viewing a blog post def posts @post = BlogPost.find_by_slug(params[:id], :include => :commentary) # a breakpoint here shows @post and @post.commentary with appropriate data redirect_to :action => ''archive'' unless @post end # posts.rhtml <%= @post.inspect %> => nil <%= render :partial

Hello, As a small excercise in learning rails, I''ve been porting a very simple website from SSI to rails (yep, a bunch of static files that were previously served with a tiny bit of SSI magic are now served by a database-backed rails, it''s total overkill, I know). Part of the reason is that I''m trying to move from apache to lighttpd, and lighttpd''s SSI for

Hi, I understand there are total 11 types of key Options for finding a record. The all 11 valid keys for the options hash are :conditions, :include, :order, :select, :group, :joins, :from, :limit, :offset, :readonly, and :lock. We also have Dynamic Finders for the same. e.g. ... find_by etc... I would like to know, how many types of dynamic finders, Active Record provides, to match all those

I can not seem to make finders work with aliases. My goal is to map some fugly field names to nice field names and have the finders work with the nice field names. An example. class Users < ActiveRecord::Base alias :password :UserPWD end This doesn''t seem to work because obviously the object doesn''t have a method called UserPWD. What is the best way (short of a view) to

We have a Page model which acts_as_paranoid. AAP modifies ActiveRecord finders to ignore any records marked as deleted unless the :with_deleted => true option is supplied. We have a UI element which allows users to toggle whether or not to display deleted Pages, their current setting being stored in a session variable, session[:show_deleted]. What we would like is to automagically have

I have some finders in my models where I write some of the sql myself. I of course want to test these, but am not sure the best way. Should I just let them roll through to the db, and verify they return the correct objects based on the fixtures I load, or should I spec the actual query? I know that DB access is sort of frowned upon, but is this a situation where it is more or less acceptable? My

Hello everyone, I have another question related to a legacy schema I am working with. Do dynamic finders work with legacy schemas in general? The schema I am working with uses hungarian prefixes for column names. For example fOpen is 0 if a bug is closed and 1 if it is open (type smallint). When I try @bugs = Bug.find_all_by_fOpen(1), I get the following exception: undefined method

Hi All! It''s been a while since I had to ask for help, but I''m back! I''ve finished beta testing my big app and started the transition to production. Everything went fine and the production version was working till I was asked to add another model :-( (Almost a year of beta testing and they only come up with it after moving to production :-D ) I successfully

I have these 3 models. class Ivr < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :klusterings, :dependent => :destroy has_many :klusters, :through => :klusterings, :uniq => true end class Kluster < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :klusterings, :dependent => :destroy has_many :ivrs, :through => :klusterings, :uniq => true end class Klustering < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :kluster

Is there any sort of dynamic finder for polymorphic associations? For example if I had: class InviteNode < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :inviteable, :polymorphic => true end I would like to be able to search by: InviteNode.find_by_inviteable(some_object) instead of having to do: InviteNode.find_by_inviteable_id_and_inviteable_type(some_object.id, some_object.class.name) obviously I

I''m trying to generate a "page slug" i.e. a url sanitized id from some text in my model that I want to be saved into the database and I''m not seeing how I can do it. The closest I''ve come to getting this to work has been... class Page < ActiveRecord::Base attr :name before_save :generate_slug def generate_slug self.slug = self.name.gsub

Hello all, I just ran into something that I think is a bug, and I would like to confirm with the core team whether this is expected/desired behavior or if this is a bug that I should file and develop failing tests for (I doubt I have the active record method_missing fu to actually patch it). Test Scenario: I would like to find or initialize a new user and base the find on the users email

I am having a real nightmare getting automated login with ssh to work; hoping someone can guide me. I am running Ubuntu 6.10. I have a main machine (called greywolf) which has a partition for my /home on it. I am doing backups to an extrnal usb drive attached to a Linksys NSLU2 (called slug) running UnSlung firmware. All hosts, networking, shares, firewall & such stuff is working fine.

Windows XP Pro as the client, (registry settings changed) after I enter the admin user account details to join the domain I get the following error message... The user name could not be

Hello, I have a dataset concerning slugs. For each slug, the number of pumps per one time slot was counted. The number of pumps follows Bi(30, p) where p is very small, thus could be approximated by Poisson dist. (# of pumps is very often = 0) The slugs were observed during 12 time slots which are correlated in time as AR(1). The time slots are divided into two categories: Resting time

I''m looking through the api for something like find(:all, :distinct => true) so that multiple instances of a row won''t be returned - is this possible? Thanks!

Hi all, I am having a problem with unit tests. Whenever I have a dependency between two models (B depends on A) deleting A should also delete B. This is simple with the dependent parameter in the model file of A. But when I write a test the dependency seems to work, I can''t find the answer with id 1 anymore(Answer.find(1)). But I appearently _do_ find it with
