Since the latest Rails 3 release is not auto-loading modules and classes from lib anymore, what would be the best way to load them? From github: A few changes were done in this commit: Do not autoload code in *lib* for applications (now you need to explicitly require them). This makes an application behave closer to an engine (code...
I know this is not best practice, and most likely shouldn't even be used, as thats what migrations are used for, but I was wondering if its possible to execute migration specific commands in a regular rake task. Something like: namespace :dummy do task :update => :environment do add_column :users, :deleted, :boolean, { :null =...
I'm using macvim/vim for most of my Ruby + Ruby on Rails development. Is there currently a way to jump to where a method was defined within a project, even if it's not in the same file as where it's being invoked? Either a language agnostic way or a Ruby/Rails specific way works. ...

Authlogic, by itself, seems to be too active record centric for MongoDB (specifically mongomapper) as per: http://github.com/binarylogic/authlogic/issues#issue/15. However, there's an interesting authlogic plugin for mongo that looks pretty awesome, and simple. Has anyone used this, or have any experience/recommendations for an authlo...

Here is the code in my view for search.rhtml <html> <head> <title>Tutor</title> <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %> </head> <body> <h1></h1> <%= form_remote_tag :url =>{ :action => :s...
The way this program needs to work is like this: A person can view an event and then choose to either register directly for an event or for a team (which is registered for an event). class Event has_many_polymorphs :registrants, :from => [:users, :teams], :through => :registrations end class Team belongs_to :registrant, :polymorphi...
Background: I have a java library that is accessed by many developers - usually via java. However, a few devs hope to access this via a Ruby API. I am gravitating in the direction of Jruby in order to implement a Java-Ruby API. Questions: My main concern is that these developers will not be able to utilize the API in their current, R...

Using rails, consider: > p = Post.new > p.author = Person.find(1) > p.author_id = 99 > p.author_id => 99 > p.author => #<Person id:1, name: "Person 1"> What I've never understood: is there a conscious decision cq some reasoning behind not clearing the +author+ value after the +author_id+ is set? Is there a plugin of some sorts that...
Hi, I'm struggling to get my head around how to implement UJS in Rails (specifically, Rails 3 with jQuery). I've worked through Ryan's Railscast, and can follow what to do when submitting a form via AJAX, but I'm having trouble extending this concept to attaching a javascript function to a html element in my view files. Ultimately, I wo...
I don't really care about testing file uploads, but since I have validates_attachment_presence, etc.. in my model, rspec is complaining. So now I'm creating my model with these attributes in the spec to try and shut it up: @attr = { :name => "value for name", :title => "value for title", :content => "value for content", :pic_fi...

I have a Rails app that includes a JSON API interface. When values are properly specified, the controller handles the happy path just fine and JSON is rendered as output. However, if there's a problem with the input, an exception is raised and some templates in rescues are rendered instead. I'd really just like to return a JSON error al...
I have a rails form that has a datetime input. I'd like to make the date input a single text box which the user will input in MM/DD/YYYY format (or via a jQuery datepicker) and then have the time inputs be 12 hour based time drop downs. I found this plugin - http://code.google.com/p/rails-twelve-hour-time-plugin/ - to handle the 12 hou...
Hi, I've a controller that defines the @projects variables to be displayed in the view. There is any way to access to that projects in the cucumber step?
