My application.html.erb is a classic file with the <%= yield %> statement. The expected would be if I went to domain.com/controller/action that it yields to the view in the appropriate directory. Instead, it's pulling up just the view (the correct view, but without the application wrapper). (There's no other layouts other than applica...
Edit #2: Does anyone have a good method of testing the "middle" of a client-server application where we can intercept requests and responses, fake the client or server as needed, and which provides self-documentation of the api? Cucumber might be a good solution in many cases, but it's not quite what I'm looking for. And this middle la...

We make heavy use of page caching, and sometimes pages get cached with a "You are now signed in" message. We can't disable the page caching for logged in users, or make it unique to them. So the only option I can think of is to disable the flash when a page is being cached, or visa-versa, disable caching when the flash is set. Idealy wit...
I've got an old Rails project with frozen Rails 2.1. I need to apply the patch from here http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2009/9/4/xss-vulnerability-in-ruby-on-rails/ Using git-am doesn't work, I'm guessing because its expecting the git repo to have the rails folders in the root, which it doesn't. So how do I apply this patch? ...
Hi, guys. This is a general question, so I won't name which site's API I am refering to. OK, lets say the API gives me access to some objects (books/other products). I want to give my users the ability to "store" some of these objects in my app's db so that later they could "review" them again. My question is about the "store" and "re...
