Hello everyone, I''m fairly new to Rails (writing my first real app) and brand new to this mailing list. I''ve got a rails/sql error I just can''t seem to solve. It''s probably really simple, but I''m been googling and reading for a day and have made zero progress on it. Hopefully someone on this list can shine some light on my problem, or point me in the

Hi: I have a table called clients and each client has many lists (a has_many and belongs_to has been created in the class. What I need to do is get a count of the rows in each list for each client. I was hoping I could do something like client.lists.count but it does not seem to work. Any suggestions? bruce

Hi, Is there a concise/ruby way to do the following: [Note: 1 and 2 below are not related.] (1) for p in 0...@order.line_items[k].shipment_lines.length shipline_qty = shipline_qty + @order.line_items[k].shipment_lines[p].quantity end (2) ts = Array.new for tk in s.trackings ts.push(tk) end

Hi everyone, I am relatively new to rspec and I am running into a wall in testing my views. I have a RESTful resource Contracts with a nested resource of Line_items. I am trying to figure out how to test the "edit" form of the Line_items. What complicates this is the nested routing and how to account for it, and that there is a partial form (_form.haml) that both the edit.haml and

Hello, I am implementing a classic invoice application. On the create new invoice page I want to allow users to add new line items using AJAX: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Invoice Date [ ] Client [ ] Line Items 1. [ ] $[ ] <add new line item> <save> <cancel>

What is the most elegant way to save new one-many associations? order = Order.new(:name => "My Order") order.line_items << LineItem.new(:product_id => 1, :quantity => 2) order.line_items << LineItem.new(:product_id => 2, :quantity => 5) order.save The above - which is by far the most elegant way of putting it - doesn''t work for me - the line_items

Hi all I''m creating a shop page. I have a cart model that looks like the following: class Cart attr_reader :line_items def get_line_item id @line_items.each do |l| return l if l.id == id end end def initialize @line_items = [] end def empty! initialize end def empty? return true if @line_items.empty? false end end And I have some

I am following the instructions on Agile Web Development with Rails book "Iteratio E1: Capturing an Order" section. When I run the migrations I get the following error. rake db:migrate (in /Users/balaparanj/work/depot) -- execute("alter table line_items \n add constraint fk_line_item_products \n foreign key (product_id) references products(id)") rake

I am fairly new to Rails, and I am having difficulty in forgetting the old way of developing and using the Rails way. This is my question, using orders and line_items as an example. An order has_many line_items A line_item belongs to order In my OrdersController I have def summary @orders = Orders.find(:all) render :xml => @orders.to_xml() end What I want to achieve is to

Hi: I love Locomotive and use it exclusively for my rails projects. I''d like to install GRUFF and give it a try (a graph image creation package). I know I can do sudo gem install gruff from the command line for normal ruby and rails. How do I make gems available to Locomotive? bruce

Hi ! I just have a simple question. I am writing an app using rails to familiarize myself with the framework (which is pretty cool, by the way). I just wanted to know why these two work differently (since "find" should be a synonym for "detect" according to the Pick Axe) : current_item = @invoice.line_items.detect {|i| i.product.id == key} current_item =

I create a hash using this line of code @x = Account.find(:all) I then want to go through each element in turn and add a key value pair to the end of it. I thought this would work, but it does not. @x.each do |a| a.merge({"balance"=>50} I used merge because I thought ''a'' would be a hash (how do you find out the type of an object?) I then guess it was

I''m having trouble with a validation that depends on an attribute of a belongs_to parent. If the child is added to an unsaved parent (parent.children << new child), the has_many collection parent.children includes the unsaved child. However the belongs_to attribute child.parent appears to be nil until the parent has been saved. Without access to the parent attributes, the validation

Hi, I want to make a copy of an object with its associations, and I am looking for an elegant solution. This is what I intuitively think should work, but it doesn''t: order2 = order1.clone order1.line_items.each do |o| order2.line_items.build(o) end This doesn''t work because a model class does not stringify its keys ... so I can''t pass an object into a method that

Hi, I have a real simple association setup here that''s just trying to: - Create a new PayjunctionOrder - Create some LineItem objects and assign them to the PayjunctionOrder - Save everything I''m using Rails Edge. ---- class PayjunctionOrder < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :line_items end ------------------ ---- class LineItem < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :order,

I was doing this: @line_items = LineItems.find_all_by_invoice_id(params[:id]) @payments = Payments.find_all_by_invoice_id(params[:id]) @total = @line_items.sum{ |item| item.cost } @payment_total = @payments.sum{ |payment| payment.value } @balance = @total - @payment_total But when no payments had been made it was coming up with an error when trying to sum nil, so I did

Hi, Am relatively new to the RoR world. My question is quite simple. I have a query like such: shipmentNumbers = Order.find_by_sql(["select distinct s.id from orders o, line_items li, shipment_lines sl, shipments s where o.number=? and o.id = li.order_id and li.id = sl.line_item_id and sl.shipment_id = s.id", number]) The above query works fine. I wanted to do the same query using

I recently finished the first part of the "Agile Rails" book. But, the depot doesn''t completely work as it should. I still have 2 problems: I will explain them in 2 threads. The first one is: I can''t destroy products (I can only creat and update them). When I try to delete a product --> http://localhost:3001/admin/destroy/3 I get this error message:

Hello everyone, I''m having trouble figuring out which approach is better. I have the following tables: products, orders and line_items. Every time an Order is placed, the quantity field in the products table has to be updated for each LineItem in the Order. One option is to use DB triggers which is not as portable as using before_create in the Order model. But with before_create I cannot
