I am trying to write some cucumber tests for my application that uses Authlogic for authentication, but actually stores users in a LDAP server. The application seems to work fine, but where I am running into trouble is writing tests for it (I know, I know, I should've wrote the tests first.) It's easy to have a test database where the d...

This plugin is pretty good, definitely better than plain-text.. but I'm longing for a little more. Code completion, the Netbeans code generator shortcuts, 'ri' integration for looking up documentation like the .erb files have.. Does anyone have some tricks, is there a different plugin for this type of functionality in Netbeans? Definit...
I need to write a plugin for a rails application which uses Engines. Since I have no Rails experience before, I read some documents and tutorial stuff. But Rails' class loading process lost me, feels like so much black magic behind. The basic question I'm having is how require and require_dependency are different? How can require_depe...
I have this model: class Story < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of :name , :link end Where a validation for a form take place. But I want also to validate if the string "http" is included in the :link symbol. I can't do :link.include? because :link is symbol. How do I do that? My View is this: <% form_for :story do |f| %>...
Hi, There are quite a few post/recommendations re Rails authorization plugins. What I'm asking here however is whether there is a popular/good Ruby on Rails Engine (or framework) that includes the user interface pages as well (and controllers/models etc). So something one could integrate in (Engine) or use as a starting point that inc...

ActiveMerchant seems to be baked with AR in mind. I've come to this conclusion based on the fact that the purchase() method returns an ActiveRecord::Billing::Response object: Is this correct and, if so, does this mean it might be difficult to use ActiveMerchant in a project that uses a different Ruby ORM (Sequel/Datamapper)? ...

Ideally, the code will look up the inheritance chain for the owner so the before_filter will work on a :comment ...

Here is my form partial. I don't need to show the eula checkbox during update and I also need to replace the "Create my account" submit button text to some...

When deploying Rails via Passenger or Mongrel you have multiple instances of the application running. What is the best practice or pattern to establish a mutex on shared resources such as a writing to a local file or to a remote file. I want to ensure two processes are not writing to the same resource at the same time. ...
