I have a form that lets me create new blog posts and I'd like to be able to create new categories from the same form. I have a habtm relationship between posts and categories, which is why I'm having trouble with this. I have the following 2 models: class Post < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :categories attr_accessibl...
I'm in production mode with Passenger 2.2.5 and Apache and would like to get rid of the friendly error messages. Preferably I would just like to see a 404 if anything goes wrong. I know Passenger 3.0 offers the PassengerFriendlyError off option, but afaik, 2.2.5 does not. ...
I gave Rails3 a try and to do so I installed the new gems, like RSpec2. When I went back to my old apps though, autospec stopped working for Rails 2.3.x apps: $ AUTOFEATURE=true autospec /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:335:in `bin_path': can't find executable autospec for rspec-2.0.1 (Gem::Exception) from /usr/bin/autospec...
Hi, I would like to modify cucumber so that when a given feature is being executed (say "login.feature") I want only login_steps.rb to be loaded for the web steps. Other step files should not be loaded. IMO this would be very useful to have the same steps but which differ in implementation work accordingly from the feature's name whic...

Hey, Im using rspec and when i run rake spec, the user mailer sends email through smtp and not stores the email in the ActionMailer::Base.deliveries-array (invoked by an user-observer)... Could you give me a hint why? # Rails version rails -v => Rails 3.0.1 # Ruby version with rvm (rvm version 1.0.16) ruby -v => ruby 1.9.2p7 (2010-09...

In Rails, one could use: returning Person.create do |p| p.first_name = "Collin" p.last_name = "VanDyck" end Avoiding having to do this: person = Person.create person.first_name = "Collin" person.last_name = "VanDyck" person I think the former way is cleaner and less repetitive. I find myself creating this method in my Scala pr...
I want to use find_or_create_by, but this statement does NOT work. It does not "find" or "create" with the other attributes. productproperty = ProductProperty.find_or_create_by_product_id(:product_id => product.id, :property_id => property.id, :value => d[descname]) There seems to be very little, or no, information on the use of dynam...

I have a Rails 2.3.8 app with an action that pulls a large amount of data from a database and renders it with anywhere from 300-600 partials (recursively rendering a tree-type structure). Benchmarking one request gives me response times of about 7 seconds. I thought that upgrading my Ruby version to 1.9 from 1.8 would give me a perform...
I'm using ruby 1.8.6 and rails 1.2.3 (ancient but I'm debugging an old app) A model called Payperiod has attributes begindate and enddate and after importing the db, the dates are all there (apparently) But in the console and in the app, the date attributes eval to nil. Why? Below is some code pasted from the console: pp = Payper...
Hi, For caching matters, I'm caching an array of the attributes of the objects I need: friends = [{:id => 4, :name => "Kevin"}, {:id => 12, :name => "Martin"}, …] Is it possible to have a list of Users using this array, so that I can use Ruby methods? For instance, I usually get a list of non-friends with this: non_friends = User.al...
I know rake spec:models to spec all models. Is there a way to spec only one model, or only a given collection of models? Something like this would be desirable: rake spec:model user or with a collection of models rake spec:model user role order BTW: Brian Hogan wrote created something similar (see here) but maybe there is some...
Hi I'm trying to interface redmine to IIS 6. It works fine under webrick. So I tried to create a new rails app to reduce the complexity, but that doesn't create the dispatch.fcgi file in the public folder, which leads me to think that my RubyIIS setup is wrong. What am I doing wrong here? I have no idea about ruby or rails, so need ...
With git is possible to jump back to early versions of a project. Now, to work with these early versions, they depend often on old versions of libraries. Is it possible to circumvent problems like these: /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.2.2/lib/rails/gem_dependency.rb:220:in `specification': can't activate haml (= 2.1.0, runt...

We use the default ruby logging module to log the errors. We use the delayed_job which is using many worker processes. So we could not manage the log files. We need the ruby based log server with rolling file appender and archive facility so that we can push the logs to the log server and let the log server to manage the logging task. ...
