In my Rails application I'm trying to update a model's attribute using update_attribute in an after_create callback.

The reason I want the record created immedi...

This used to work, but now it has started producing URLs with query strings. The Rails version is 2.3.8. The routes file is: ActionController::Routin...

We are using nginx + passenger and Ruby on Rails. We would like all URLs, not just controllers and actions to be cases insensitive. This works fine by default on the Mac I'm developing on but when we moved to linux with its case sensitive file system, we have a bunch of broken images. I'd also just like URLs in general to be case inse...

I ran into a problem with ActiveRecord serialization. Apparently, it has trouble serializing hashes where ranges are keys. I found the Rails Lighthouse ticket (https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/3067-activerecord-cant-deserialize-hashes-with-range-keys). I've never contributed to an open-source project before, and this...
