I'm not a Ruby guy, I just play one on television. I have to modify someone's old Cron job to pull down some JSON and convert it into objects. Here's the code raw_json = Net::HTTP.get(URI.parse("url removed to protect the innocent")) tags = ActiveSupport::JSON.decode(raw_json) puts tags.count tags.count will accurately trace as 5, ...

So, I upgraded Ruby to 1.8.7 to make a particular gem work. Hooray, it works now! But...now rails doesn't. I tried reinstalling rails through gem, but that hasn't helped, either. Rake is no longer recognized by my windows box as a valid command, and I can't even start the server without a whole string of errors. My only thought is that...
I'm working on a plugin for Rails3. I'd like to allow users to override some settings. At the moment I'm doing this inside my plugin's Rails::Engine class like: config.my_setting = :default_value unless config.respond_to? :my_setting This seems like the wrong way to handle this. Is there a better method or convention most plugins use ...

I want to read metadata of already uploaded JPEGs on S3. Is there a way to do that in Ruby without downloading the file locally? The problem I am facing is that Image(Mini)Magick doesn't take a URL as a source (or at least I didn't find the right command). Update: This is working: >> image = MiniMagick::Image.from_file -path_to_file...
I have a Rails 3rc app on Ruby 1.9.2 that works fine, but Bundler keeps making a folder named "bandsintown" (bandsintown is a gem I use) in my project directory. From what I can tell, the folder has all my gems in it. I'm pretty sure that this never happened before. Is it normal behavior? I think this might be interfering with running t...

I have features I would like to be portable between my own Rails applications. I wonder if I should create a gem or a plugin for each feature I want to be portable (sharable). They are just for Rails (for now) because they include css, html, js and image files. But I have been wondering, the things provided with plugins could be provi...

So: > pwd /tmp > ruby cdscript.rb > pwd /usr/bin This is the code I have right now: exec('cd /usr/bin') Unfortunately, cd is a builtin command. So: `exec': No such file or directory - cd (Errno:ENOENT) Any workaround for this? No way to get it working ...
Hey, Ruby/Rails enjoy some really nice and powerful testing frameworks like Cucumber and RSpec. Does Python/Django enjoy the same thing (I'm not talking about simple unit testing like PyUnit)? Thanks for help and time. ...
