Alright, so the ultimate goal here is to parse the data inside of an xml response. The response comes in the format of a ruby string. The problem is that I'm getting an error when creating the xml file from that string (I know for a fact that response.body.to_s is a valid string of xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Response...

The expected behavior is for a form to be dynamically generated when a user clicks on the link "add resource". Capybara will be able to click the link, but fails to recognize the new form elements (i.e. "resource[name]"). ...

I'm incredibly new to Rails and programming in general. Built my first, fairly static, Rails app. I have 100's of products (specifically t-shirts) that all have associated colors (RGB values) and sizes that I need to display on several product pages. Rather than hand-coding this information, I assume I need to build a database for it. ...
