similar to: Calling controller methods from runner scripts?

I created a script that I call by ''./script/runner -e production UpdateItems.get_new_items()'', which basically calls the model Item: Item.create(attributes...) I''ve set up a cache sweeper which removes caches after each create/destroy/update on Item, and it works fine when accessing controllers via the web server, but apparently doesn''t work via runner.

Is there a way to call or invoke a controller method from script/console or script/runner? The reason is that I''d like to pre-cache some of the actions on my controller. The pseudo code below is what I''d like to be able to do: class MyController < ApplicationController caches_action :test def test puts ''Hi there'' end end script/console:

With rspec 1.0.8 I have a spec in the directory: spec/units/controllers/application_controller_spec.rb require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../../spec_helper'' class DummyController < ApplicationController def index raise "Prevent index from rendering" end end describe ApplicationController, "Handling errors in production", :behaviour_type =>

I''ve been working with the RSpec on Rails plugin. Great job guys! The Rails spec runner (server) definitely speeds things up nicely. But I''m having some trouble keeping it functional. When I start the server, the first spec execution runs fine. Every following execution fails though. Each spec complains about the ''controller_path'' missing from my

I have a rails app that is run exclusively as a script/runner process, and I''d like to be able to catch all errors that occur in these processes in a standardized way. With a normal rails app, one can override rescue_action_in_public in ApplicationController, but I''m only using models. Is there something similar I can do? Any help is much appreciated.

I''d like to call a controller method or three from a script invoked via script/runner so that I can manually populate my page cache.

I''ve read the wiki and Agile and can''t find the answer. When using script/runner I''ve gotten simple model functions similar to the -help example to run: $script/runner ''puts Vendor.find(1).name3'' where Vendor is a model. However when I try to run a function in a controller it doesn''t work: $script/runner ''puts

Im trying to write a controller spec, but when I run it I get an error like the one below. I found Bug6707 (http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/rspec-devel/2007-March/002147.html ), but I get the error no matter how I run the spec ( whether I use rake or not) Any ideas?

I generated a new rails app then installed rspec and rspec_on_rails from trunk.

I am having a devil of a time with some runner actions. I can not seem to call any instance methods on found records. Even when I strip is down to the basics: def self.deliver self.find(:all, :conditions => ["#{Message.table_name}.status = ?", ''pending''], :include => [:site, :template]).each {|m| logger.info m.is_recurring? # my method logger.info

After a fresh installation of an application, some utility scripts run with script/runner quietly aborted right after their start. No error message whatsoever, just a new shell prompt. The reason was an uninstalled dependecy, but that was difficult to determine because the load failure was not reported: % ruby script/runner ''require "foobarbaz"'' % Why

Hello ~ I have a Model Action that I wish to call from script/runner. This Model accesses another action in a module in the lib directory. If I fire up script/console and execute Model.action it works perfectly, but when I run the command via script/runner it cannot find the action I want to call in my module. If I run: script/runner "puts $:" The lib directory is shown, so the

I have a production site that has a couple of batch jobs, I have used script/runner and cron to run these jobs. This works ok for jobs that only run once overnight during off peak. I am expiring sessions older than 30 mins every 15 mins using script/runner, but I''m concerned about the hit of script/runner loading up the whole rails environment, specifically since I only have a 256MB

I have two methods in application controller that I want to test from ForumController: ----------------------- class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base ... def logout session[:username] = nil session[:admin] = nil redirect_to(request.request_uri) end ... def home redirect_to(:controller => ''forum'', :action =>

I''ve just set up caching on my site and want to expire some of fragments on an hourly basis. I was going to use cron and script/runner to do this. For other fragments that I am expiring, I am using expire_fragment inside a sweeper class, something like: class QuestionSweeper < ActionController::Caching::Sweeper observe Question def after_validation_on_update(question)

All, I have a script that runs script/runner via the shebang mechanism at the top o the file, like so: #!/usr/bin/env ./script/runner This works fine in development, how would I get it to run in non-development environments? Thanks, Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Is there some way to have these two sets of URLs use totally different controllers and templates? categories/list categories/show/1 admin/categories/list admin/categories/edit/1 admin/categories/destroy/1 admin/categories/update/1 Besides, of course, using different controller names ;). The first URL is publicly accessible, while the second contains admin functions. Also, with the second,

Hi, I have been running ferret for several months now, but want to make use of the new Drb functionality. So I am running Rails Stable (off the branch), Ferret 0.11.4, and the latest AAF.
