Hi all, I am writing a simple shopping cart which will consist of a single class. There will be no DB table for carts so I do not want to make my Cart a model. But where do I place my Cart class so that I can access it in my controllers? I want to be able do do things like this (for instance in a shop controller): def add_to_cart @session[''cart''].add(article_id, amount)

Hello I''ve been struggling with something for hours that I thought would be a simple job.

A product variation should inherit all of its properties from product unless

I''ve always wanted to be able to do stuff like this in my functional tests c = customers(:customer_1) c.expects(:great_customer_service) post :service_customer, :id => c.id This of course fails because inside the rails action a different instance of customer is used. Some of the time setting your expectation/stubbing on Customer.any_instance works, but it''s not

Hi all, I was wondering if anybody could help me figure why a view cannot find a method that I defined in another class. I do this in the view: (let''s say index.rhtml) <%= check_box("item_search_page", "method_name") Here, item_search_page is a variable in the view''s controller, which creates a new ItemSearchPage object. And I defined

In my Unit tests, I run into the all-too-common problem of Time.expects(:now) being called by Benchmark before the method is unmocked. Instead of messing around with the teardown order, I decided to modify the Expectation with a new method, .stops_mocking. Here are the changes I use, including a few monkey patches to push relevant objects down to where I want them, all wrapped up in a big ugly

Hey all, I have a question with using mocha in my tests. In the same test file, I have two tests, <code> def test_a klass.any_instance.stubs(:method_name).returns("something") klass.new.method_name ... end def test_b ... klass.new.method_name ... end </code> where klass is some class when the tests run, test _a passes, but test_b had an error like this:

Hey Everyone. First day diving in to ROR and Ruby... My question is how do you define methods with in the model class and/or should I even be doing this?

I am serializing a data object (FooData) into an ActiveRecord column (Foo). I''d like to be able to do delegate methods to the data class if the Foo class doesn''t have that attribute. So instead of: f = Foo.new f.data.item1 I''d like to do: f = Foo.new f.item1 I was hoping that I could add a method_missing method to my Foo class and call methods in the FooData class

Allow plugins to affect the handling of the new NBD_CMD_FLAG_FAST_ZERO flag, then update affected plugins. In particular, in-memory plugins are always fast; the full plugin is better served by omitting .zero and relying on .pwrite fallback; nbd takes advantage of libnbd extensions proposed in parallel to pass through support; and v2 language bindings expose the choice to their scripts.
