Oh so please bear with me... I have a model for bookings and a model for drivers. A driver has many bookings and a booking belongs to a driver. When adding or editing a booking, I want the user to be able to type the username of the driver. Usernames are unique and easier for the end user than giving each driver a number. Now this is h...

Let's say I have a big spec file with 20 tests because I'm testing a large model and I had no other way of doing it : describe Blah it "should do X" do ... end it "should do Y" do ... end ... it "should do Z" do ... end end Running a single file is faster than running the whole test suite, but it's still pretty long. Is there ...
I am working on porting a Rails app to JRuby and HSQLDB. My goal is to embed a database and the site within a single JAR file for deployment at customer sites. I have the site working quite well from the JAR, with a few notable problems. When I do the following with a pretty mundane ActiveRecord model: @total = SessionLog.count(:id) ...

I'm planning to work on a web application of reasonable complexity and am wondering what technology to go with. It will probably start with one person, but there will be 2 or 3 more eventually. My first requirement is to be able to do this as quickly as possible - preferably with as less code as possible. Secondly requirement is that it ...

Does anyone know of a full installation (including ruby, rails, IDE) that doesn't demand downloading files from the internet? Thanks ...

Let me start by saying I have never deployed a Rails app before. I have a domain with a main site ran by PHP, let's call it http://www.example.com/.
