I've been using Ruby for the first time on a project at my work, so I am still somewhat learning the ropes (and loving every minute of it). While I understand the point of the map.connect functions in the route.rb file, I don't understand the "resources" and "named route" features of Rails. I have my Rails book here and read it over se...

So far, I've created a settings model that stores application wide configuration on the db in key/value pairs. So, for the lock, I have a settings insta...
When I call mysqldump from a controller or model I need to fully path the binary, when I call it from Rake I don't need to. If I do not fully path I get a zero byte file...

I'am overriding a Redmine core view in my plugin (/views/reports/_details.rhtml). Just to print some extra data, like how many open issues are assigned and not assigned.

I'm just starting to grasp BDD and RSpec and one thing I'm really having trouble with is figuring out how thorough I should be with my testing. I'm just not understanding how fine-grained my testing should be to still be useful but not double development time. Is it just a matter of preference? Or is there some general standard for wha...
I just installed jruby-1.4.0 to play around with it. I'm noticing however that warbler is packaging this by default with my rails deploy. My production uses jruby-complete-1.3.1 (which I've added to my lib dir to freeze the version) but warbler is adding jruby-core-1.4 when it packages everything up.
