Hello! I''m pretty new to unit testing, and have only been using RSpec for a few weeks. I found that for my controller specs, my setup methods were getting very long building mocks/stubs for all the model objects I needed to work with. I''ve started creating helpers like the following for each of my models. The "min_" methods are short for "minimum", and

I''m using a find with a :joins clause, like this: :joins => "JOIN table_b ON table_b.id=table_b_id" The records returned are used in a scaffold generated list page. The edit, show, and destroy links are getting the wrong id. They are getting the id of the table b record. When I run the query using mysql, I see that the query returns *2* id columns, the id of the main

Hi, in the past few months someone posted an entry on their blog about how to do validations in non-AR classes and I cant find it any more. Anyone have a link? Thanks, Trevor -- Trevor Squires http://somethinglearned.com

ActiveRecord supports composed_of for value objects which is fantastic but one thing that it doesn''t seem to support (or at least I am unable to find any documentation for) validation of the value objects. For example, given the following: class Message < ActiveRecord::Base composed_of :sender, :class_name => ''EmailAddress'' composed_of :recipient,

Hi, I just released a plugin to help debug views. The plugin makes it easy to add a button that will popup a new window that displays the following debug data; * Request Parameters * Session Variables * Flash Variables * Assigned Template Variables It was derived from code that traces back to Marten Veldthuis in Epilog. You can check out webpage and plugin via;

I just notices my app was down, and in the log file were lots of these: No space left on device - ../config/../tmp/sessions//ruby_sess.898b1cf95e14f8e3 So i figured that i had too many sessions. I went through and deleted the sessions and then in a few minutes, the site was back up again. Can anyone explain this? Did I do the right thing? Is there a way I can tell my app to accept more

Hi Guys, I am trying to paginate the results from a search. When I use actual constants in the search conditions, it works fine: def query @k2_result_pages, @k2_results = paginate (:k2_results, :conditions => [''e_date >= ? AND e_date <= ?'', ''2006-07-12'', ''2006-08-12''],

Good evening -- I''m really new to Rails and I was looking for a way to use IndexedSearchEngine with a "get" call instead of the default "post". I have the script by itself on a page /myapp/app/view/search/rhtml and I want to be able to bookmark the query string. I can''t seem to find where in the code the call to form_tag is. This is as likely as not a

I have a couple forms that I''d like to be able to validate and automatically populate, but it shouldn''t be based on AR. In fact I often have a bunch of small forms that I can''t really justify writing a whole new model class for anyway. I''d like to validate the form input, and then use rails helpers to automatically populate the form if validations fail.

I intend to override pagination_links method. I added following lines of code in application_helper.rb module ActionView module Helpers def pagination_links(paginator, options={}, html_options={}) raise("boom!!") end end end But my code is not executing my code. The view is still using the method pagination_links from rails. What''s the correct way to override

there is a blog about it http://www.realityforge.org/articles/2005/11/12/aaa_in_rails There are so many Authentication/Authorization/Auditing generators now, just like the situation in java''s world, Too many components doing the samething just make me confusion. Why not add one to rails core lib and everybody can extend it for their requirement ? -- Posted via

To get error messages for my form to show up I have to repeat myself in the controller so that the render of the view including error messages show up. ------------------------- My Controller: ------------------------- class ClientsController < ApplicationController #---- index -------------------------------- def index list render :action => ''list'' end

my pagination_links seems to auto generate the links using the current controller, action and id. The page they''re appearing on however have a friendly url I have created. I want to be able to make pagination urls generated by pagination_links "user friendly" as well so that they match my current naming convention.....i know there must be a way to do this....any ideas?

I am trying to do a simple search by product name. The first page returns fine, but when I try to go to any other pages of the search results, I lose the original search parameters from my search form and get NilClass errors. Here is the code in my controller: namesearch = "%" + params[:name].strip + "%" @product_pages, @products = paginate :product,

I am currently writing a search method for my rails applications and at the moment it works fine. I have the following in my game.rb: def self.search(search) if search find(:all, :conditions => [''game_name LIKE ? OR genre LIKE ? OR console LIKE ?'', "%#{search}%", "#{search}", "#{search}"]) else find(:all) end end No that searches

Hi, I currently programming a delicious clone to understand ruby on rails. The problem I''ve got is that I prefill a form (form without models) without a database connection and then save it into the database. For validation i am using the validation helper methods. My Problem is that i don''t know how I get the error hash from the helper method validates... etc. because I
