similar to: ActiveRecord not updating record

So I was attempting to determine what version of Rails I was running; I first I did rails -v which went off and created a -v directory. I then did a rails --help which created a --help directory... I dont know if you have ever tried, but deleting a directory named --help from the cli is about impossible! I had to write a ruby script to clean up the mess I made!

Hello, How can I save an ActiveRecord without trigger before_save, after_save, etc?

wondering if anyone tried this patch. (i havent, seeing as its 1228 lines long, 10 months old, and cant take serious a patch many orders larger than competing web frameworks) in many cases i want to keep about 10 things around, eg recent searches, new items (spanning multiple classes), referers, page views, without logging them for perpetuity. so i guess this isnt a normal queue, more like a

Hi, Why does ActiveRecord allow perception of success when updating an ID, however it doesn''t really work(i.e. no change in database)? Here''s an example. The update of "id" versus update of a non-existent attribute. ?> ai = AccountItem.find(:first) => #<AccountItem id: 1, account_id: 1, date: "2009-01-11", amount:

Part of my application counts the number of times a link was clicked. The Link.click function should increment the @link.clicks attribute. I assumed def click @link = Link.find(params[:id]) if @link.increment(''clicks'') redirect_to @link.url else flash[:error] = ''Could not update clicks'' redirect_to :action =>

Either I''m not understanding how things are used, or this might be a bug in ActiveRecord. I''m using version 1.13.2. In my version of activerecord/lib/active_record/validations.rb (the svn trunk version is browsable at http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/trunk/activerecord/lib/active_record/validations.rb ), I have: def update_attribute_with_validation_skipping(name,

Hi, I''m having what I believe to be a typecast problem with ActiveRecord and Associations. In the code below, I need to flag a contact record for deletion if the contact doesn''t have any addresses or books records: sql = "select id, delete_flag from contacts where id = #{params[:id]}" contact = Contact.find_by_sql(sql) if (contact[0].addresses.count +

Hi Railers, A long, long, time ago, i made a Framework/CMS in php. There were two core models: Content and Content_type. Content_type was only a list of content types (as expected): new, article, etc. Content_type was not mandatory, but it allowed later to "deactivate" types of contents, for example. So then Content stored the common attributes/properties between the different content

This is probably a very stupid error on my side, but I am doing my first steps now and I don''t see what is wrong. I have companies and I have users. A user can create a company. When the user does he''s automatically a member of the company. A company should be able to have multiple users off course so every member of a company can add other users who don''t have a

At present, I use an update like this to set the user''s last login time: authenticated_user.update_attribute(:last_login, Time.now) However, this calls the following, updating all fields: UPDATE users SET `last_login` = ''2006-05-02 13:27:41'', `hashed_password` = .... Is there any way I can tell ActionRecord to only update the one field? I don''t really want

All, I''m starting to see view state information creeping into my model class. For example, I have text fields in my view that need to be set a certain way depending on whether or not a checkbox is checked. And while the values of these text fields ultimately do represent database columns that are related to the backing AR object, the text_field values also represent attributes on a

I have a user table, and it has forty columns, including name, gender, address, email, phone... So my @user object will have forty attributes. I divide these attributes into 4 groups... namely ''general info'', ''personal info'', ''contact info''... and I make separate forms to edit these 4 different group attributes. The problem is when I update

Given this code (which renders rjs), I''m faced with the fixture- driven way of spec-ing or mocking. How the heck to you mock this so the code at line (2) and (4) work right? I''m still struggling with mocks but it seems like this can be done. Forgive the naivety of this question. 1. def change_quantity 2. @line_item = LineItem.find_by_id(params[:id]) 3. unless

Hello I am a Ruby newbie, thus a rather simple question. My list view shows table records and enables user to click a button in order to change value of one attribute in given record. I use this code to invoke a method from controller: <%= button_to "Change", { :action => "edit", :id => prog.id_prog } %> My method looks like this (just a simple one - to set the

I know the debate of whether this should validate has been rehashed many times. My question is, what are the consequences of overriding this method to force validation? Will this break fundamental things? Will it break plugins? Is there a reason not to have a strict validation option? In my code I will never use this as I consider it a terribly broken method, but some gems use it and in one case

Besides the hashed password, which is saved to db, I have two password-attributes in my User model: attr_accessor :password, :password_confirmation I have validations on these attributes, and I need them to work both on create and update, since I have pages for changing and resetting the password. Now when I want to update just the user''s login name, I guess I have the next

Hello. I realize that link_to is a helper that generally only has use in a view file, but recently I have come across a situation where it would be useful in a controller. I am trying to create a flash[:notice] and I want to link to another page. Of course, I could hard code the HTML, but for the sake of consistency, I was wondering if there is a way to abstract it from within the controller

Just in case it saves someone else the several hours of insanity I just went through, update_attributes will not save unless the model validations are satisfied, but update_attribute (the singular form) will save the attribute to the database even if the model validations would fail! This appears to be a feature, not a bug (http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActiveRecord/Base.html) although

Does anyone know of a way to update individual attributes with validation? update_attribute disables the validation checks in the record model, so I''m wondering if there''s a workaround for this. In my application, I want to allow the user to update some or all the attributes without having to enter :password and :password_confirmation, both of which are subject to

I have a form that I want to use to update multiple objects. In the controller, @grades = Grade.find(params[:grade].keys) @grades.each_with_index do |grade, i| grade.update_attribute(params[:grade][i]) end all_valid = @grades.inject(true) {|memo, c| c.valid? && memo } this doesn''t update the attributes as I would expect. (I would just use
