I've been reading Metaprogramming Ruby and the object model is like the chicken or egg dilemma. In Ruby 1.8, the Object class is an instance of Class. Module's superclass is Object and is an instance of Class. Class' superclass is Module, and it is an instance of Class (self-referential). Say class SomeClass; end is defined somewhere; ...
I am defining monday and friday using the following: @monday = Date.today.at_beginning_of_week @friday = 5.days.since(@monday) But I actually need, for any given day, to loop through Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and take that date and put the output into a column. <th>Monday</th> <th>Tuesday</th> etcetera A given row, for example, ...
Currently, I'm using LIBXML::SAXParser::Callbacks to parse a large XML file containing data 140,000 products.

Hi all, I am looking to automate the changing of passwords across multiple services and servers. For example: I want to change the root paassword to all of my web servers at once. I am thinking of writing a ruby script, but have you guys run across anything already written? If so, would that also give me the ability to change other sys...
I am trying to create a model in ruby that uses a BIGINT datatype (as opposed to the INT done by :integer). I have search all over Google, but all I seem to find is "run an SQL statement to alter the table to a BIGINT" - This seems a bit hack-ish to me, so I wanted to know if there was a way to specify a bigint in the ruby system like ...

I'd like to know the best way to approach testing ruby mixin modules, in this case for use with ActiveRecord models, but really this is a general quesiton that applies to any class that you are extending with a mixin. Is it better to attempt to stub all of the necessary functionality of the Class that your mixin is extending, or just te...

I'm having a heck of a time getting a site I modified to work correctly. I didn't set the site up originally, and since the person that set it up no longer works with me I had to learn ruby just to make some changes. I made all the changes in the development server and everything worked fine. Then I did a diff on the production and d...
Hi Everyone, I've been trying to use Mocha to do some stubbing for tests on code using Mechanize. Here is an example method: def lookup_course subject_area = nil, course = nil, quarter = nil, year = nil raise ArgumentError, "Subject Area can not be nil" if (subject_area.nil? || subject_area.empty?) page = get_page FIND_BASIC_...
This could be a HappyMapper specific question, but I don't think so. In my app, users can upload their blog subscriptions (via an OPML file), which I parse and add to their profile. The only problem is during the parsing, or more specifically the creation of each subscription, I can't figure out how to skip over entries that are just ...

Hello all, I'm trying to implement a feature that uses LDAP over SSL (SSL, not TLS), it needs to connect to a SSL-enabled LDAP server (i.e OpenLDAP), bind and then do any additional queries. It also needs to support client-authentication, and this is where things get tricky: The client is a web application written in Ruby, and we are us...
I have a method which goes through each day of the week: def dates_week(d, delim) "<tr>" + (d.beginning_of_week...(d.beginning_of_week+5)).map do |day| "<#{delim}> #{yield(day)} </#{delim}>" end.join + "</tr>" end For each day of the week, I plug that as an arg into a method (or maybe a named_scope, haven't figure...
Hi, Why would you create a proxy reference to an object in Ruby, by using the to_enum method rather than just using the object directly? I cannot think of any practical use for this, trying to understand this concept & where someone might use it, but all the examples I have seen seem very trivial. For example, why use: "hello".enum_fo...
