Hi, I've implemented a "simple search form" (railscasts #37) in my app, but I wonder how: 1.) I cannot display any results if the keywords field is empty, or if the index page is loaded (I've tried search != "". Maybe there is a better way) 2.) I can add a function which avoid multiple white spaces in the search. (if users wrote someth...
I am trying to write a spec were the number of examples i.e. 'it "should ..." do' are determined at runtime. I tried putting the 'it' method in my own method so that I could call it multiple times: def new_method(test) it "#{test} should...

I'm attempting to use String#gsub to add a slash in front of % or ?, which i'll then be using in a LIKE query. I'm getting some odd behaviour which hopefully someone can explain: irb(main):018:0> "%?".gsub(/([%\?])/, '\1') => "%?" irb(main):019:0> "%?".gsub(/([%\?])/, '\\1') => "%?" irb(main):020:0> "%?".gsub(/([%\?])/, '\\\1') => "\\1\...

Hi, I've recently downloaded a ruby extension (Nokogiri) using the gem install command and I would like to use it outside rails, in a small script I'm writing. When I use it in rails, it works perfectly, but how to load it outside rails? Which files should I need to 'require'? (I don't seem to find the downloaded source) Thank you if y...

When using an idiom such as: def func(*args) ... end What is the meaning of *args? Googling this specific question was pretty hard, and I couldn't find anything. It seems all the arguments actually appear in args[0] so I find myself writing defensive code such as: my_var = args[0].delete(:var_name) if args[0] But I'm sure there'...
I'm using Ruby 1.9.2 (Yarv). When I install gems I just use "gem install ". How can I know which Ruby version they are written in: 1.8.7, 1.9.1 or 1.9.2? If I'm using the latest version and I install a gem that is written in 1.8.7, then that gem doesn't work? Eg. Yardstick gem seems to not work with 1.9.2 but perfectly with 1.8.7. H...
Hi, Here is the code of a "simple search form" (thanks to jordinl) which I try to improve. I would like to add the case if there is no match found. So, there is the view (views/users/index.html.erb) <% form_tag users_path, :method => 'get' do %> <%= text_field_tag :search, params[:search] %> <%= submit_tag "Search", :name => nil ...

I've been reading about Railties lately and thought I would try to get it working with Rails 3. I thought I would package it up as a gem to get a sense of that process as we...

How do you examine the source code for a library you are using and want to modify. Eg. when you have downloaded a gem, I guess that you are forking the repo from GitHub and then cloning your forked repo. So now you have: the local repo's source code (which you open with IDE/text editor) the source code on GitHub (which you browse onl...
