I need to make a backup system for my rails app but this has to be a little special: It doesn't have to back up all the database info and files in a single file or folder but it has to back up the database info and attachment files per user. I mean, every one of this backups should be able to regenerate all the information and files for ...

I have 30 specs in my foo_controller_spec.rb and when I run the entire file using spec, I get 4 failures and 2 pending. When I run the 4 failing specs individually, 3 of them still fail, but one of them passes. At first I thought it was a database issue, that the data wasn't being cleaned out properly between runs. So I installed databas...
I am working on building a Ruby on Rails v2.3.8 real estate application. I've written a rake task to pull in the property listings and photos. The app uses rets4r (specifically josephholsten-rets4r) to talk to a RETS-based server and Paperclip is used to manage the property photos and push them up to S3. The problem I'm seeing is the ra...
Imagine a web application that allows a logged in user to run a shell command on the web server at the press of a button. This is relatively simple in most languages via some standard library os tools. But if that command is long running you don't want your UI to hang. Again this is relatively easy to deal with using some sort of backgr...

I have been attempting to dive into RSpec 2 but its auto generated controller specs do not work for any version of RSpec 2 with any version of Ruby or any version of Rails.
