I know, if i will write "redirect_to" instead of "render :action", i'll lose my @object's errors. My code: def play @room = params[:id][0,1] @current_players = CurrentPlayer.all(:conditions => {:room => @room}) end def join @new_player = CurrentPlayer.new(:user_id => current_user.id, :team_id => nil, :room => params...
I'm making a Rails application. In the one action I need to spawn a long running process. This is not a problem. I can fork new process using spawn gem or some other. But some time after process has been spawned, user must be able to pass additional data to that process. Sure, I can fork process which will listen a UNIX socket, store so...
I am extending the shopping cart model (from Agile Web Development with Rails) that lets a user 'add to cart' a product_id through the session. The id is only stored in the database (as a line_item) after a user clicks 'checkout'. Id like to attach other unique data related to that line_item, like color and special_instructions, through...
Attempting to pull my database from Heroku gives an error partway through the process (below). Using: Snow Leopard; heroku-1.8.2; taps-0.2.26; rails-2.3.5; mysql-5.1.42. Database is smallish, as you can see from the error message. Heroku tech support says it's a problem on my system, but offers nothing in the way of how to solve it. I...
Since Rails is fully compliant with Rack I was wandering how I would set up a rackup file so that a Rails application is just a piece of middleware and then a request could hit another app further down the middleware stack. What I really want is to use a Rails app to handle authentication and authorization for smaller rack-apps later on...

That is easy enough using map.root in my routes.rb. However when I do this any lin...

I'm looking for plugins that will allow my codebase to interact with, browse, and poll an SVN server for information about a repository. Trac can do this, but I was hoping there was an easy-to-use library available to accomplish the task, rather than trolling through the Trac codebase. Googling for this returns mostly vague results abo...
I know similar questions have been answered before - such as: Where should logic go, where to do certain tasks, etc. But I have a more specific question - How far should I take this axiom: "keep your controller skinny, make your model fat!" Here is an example: For instance let's say I have multiple source of verification data. A good e...
Guys, Long time Java developer here, but I've spent more time working with Ruby over the past 3 years or so as far as web applications go. I really have enjoyed it, but there are concerns I've uncovered that I won't cover here. Now that I've found the Play! framework, I'm thrilled about the prospect of having a Rails-like experience wi...
