Rinari hasn't been updated in the last few months, and there doesn't seem to be such progress made in the branches on github. I've never tried emacs-rails, but from what I can see, the same applies. So, is there a rails mode somewhere that's compatible with v3 ? ...
I rely on a counter cache value in an after_create hook of my model. However, my hook is called before the counter cache gets updated, thus breaking a computation. Is there any way to force a counter cache "flush" so that I always see an up-to-date value in after_create? ...
