I'd like to be able to log all http requests to a rails app, even those to static assets in the public folder. I'd like to do this with a standard rails setup, e.g. using ./script/server, and without installing Apache, etc. I tried wireshark, but it seems like it doesn't track local traffic. I also tried to use the request object, but t...

I'm trying to get metric-fu running on a rails project I'm working with. Every time it runs the rcov portion of the metrics I get: ** Invoke metrics:all (first_time) ** Execute metrics:all No file to analyze was found. All the files loaded by rcov matched one of the following expressions, and were thus ignored: [/\A\/System\/Library\/F...

When I run rake doc:app in my Rails application root, the API docs are generated using /doc/README_FOR_APP as the home page. I would like to add a .rdoc extention to that file so it is properly rendered on GitHub. Even better, I would like to move it to the app root (/README.rdoc). Is there a way to do this in my Rakefile by modifying th...

I have three models: for the purpose of asking the question, I'll call them posts, containertable1 and containertable2. Basically, the posts table has a column called misc_id, which has the id of an item that is in either containertable1 or containertable2. I tried to set up a foreign key association, but it doesn't seem to fetch from...
I'm looking to use render like so: render :action => 'page#form' I also tried this: render :template => 'site/page#form' That didn't work either. The form on this particular page is at the very bottom, and if any errors occur on submission I'd hate for the user to be defaulted to the top of the page. I also need to use render (not ...
