[Rails] Re: RoR deployment and maintenance
If you have a relatively simple site, you can use rsync with exluded files/directories for production deployment from your build environment. We use Ubuntu 8.04 and run RoR with nginx and thin. They work quite well. Thin has smaller footprint. We used to run mongrel_cluster with apache2, that works too. cheers, rp8 Krishna wrote: > Hi, > I have a developed and working RoR prototype.

In this case, that means that you should consider building indices on your foreign key fields (such as contacts.user_id), since they're what you're searching on in these queries. But before you do that, you might want to try EXPLAIN SELECT on the queries you're interested in, and see what mySQL tells you about where the bottlenecks are.

Maybe not. :) Frederick is absolutely right. Here's what I believe
happens when split is working on your input string.
The split routine starts parsing at the beginning of the string (I
will represent the cursor in these examples with a #.)
#john,doe,"1,200.99",training,12345 => []
At the moment, no results have been yielded, so the resulting array
(after the =>) is still empty.
Split runs until it sees a delimiter.
john#,doe,"1,200.99",training,12345 => ['john']
Split discards the delimiter.
john,#doe,"1,200.99",training,12345 => ['john']
Repeat for the next element ('doe') and delimiter (',').
john,doe,#"1,200.99",training,12345 => ['john', 'doe']
Having just read a delimiter (','), split is now prepared to read the
next value. But it doesn't see a value -- it sees another delimiter
('"1,200.99"', which matches your regex and is therefore considered a
delimiter just like ','). Split therefore writes an empty array
element.
john,doe,#"1,200.99",training,12345 => ['john', 'doe', '']
Split skips over the delimiter -- but since the regexp contains
*capturing parentheses*, split inserts the parenthesized portion of
the match (which happens to match the whole delimiter) into the result
set.
john,doe,"1,200.99"#,training,12345 => ['john', 'doe', '',
'"1,200.99"']
Split sees another delimiter (',') with no intervening value, so it
writes another empty string. This time, the regexp that matches the
delimiter has no parentheses, so split does not put it into the result
set.
john,doe,"1,200.99",#training,12345 => ['john', 'doe', '',
'"1,200.99"', '']
Split reads the last two values, skipping the delimiter in between.
john,doe,"1,200.99",training,12345# => ['john', 'doe', '',
'"1,200.99"', '', 'training', '12345']
Does that make it clearer? Since you defined the "1,200.99" string as
a delimiter, the fact that it appears in the result set at all is
actually accidental, and due 100% to the parentheses that you put
around it in the regexp. Remember, the regexp in split defines the
pattern for the *delimiter*, not the *values*.
If you're still confused about what the parentheses do, here's a
minimal example:
'aabbcc'.split(/b+/) => ['aa', 'cc']
'aabbcc'.split(/(b+)/) => ['aa', 'bb', 'cc']
> because I want it to split my

I hate to break it to you, but a single regexp alone cannot handle
this kind of parsing, because the meaning of a comma is *state-
dependent* -- that is, a comma either acts as a delimiter or not,
depending on whether an odd or even number of double quotes have been
encountered since the beginning of the string. And regexps are not
state-dependent, so that kind of logic is outside the capabilities of
a regexp. You'll need to write some higher-level routines in Ruby --
or, as others have suggested, simply use an off-the-shelf CSV parser.
(I'd choose the latter approach if I were you -- parsers are a pain to
get right!)
Best,

[Rails] Upgrade to Rails 2 - problem with "save" (MySQL boolean issue?)
I have been working through an upgrade of my 1.2.6 application to 2.2.2. I am almost there but I have hit a problem with ActiveRecord. Before the upgrade, the following code was working fine. def create_root(administrator) root = create_root_collection(self.pingee_name, administrator, GlobalAccessibility.new, OwnerAccessibility.new) root.save self.root = root end But now I get am getting an exception "undefined method `each' for true:TrueClass" when root.save is executed. fyi, the "create_root_collection" method creates a "root" object and assigns new object to its "belongs to" association. I have traced it through carefully and it is definitely failing when trying to save the "root" object itself. Given the error message, and the fact that the root object contains boolean columns, I wonder if the problem is to do with the saving boolean values. I am using MySQL and declaring the boolean columns in the following way (using raw SQL not migrations currently): include_parent_responses boolean default false not null, Is the "boolean" column type still valid?

[Rails] Re: Processing uploaded XML file
Thanks for the info Simon. As far as the users waiting goes, thats easy... They will wait as long as I tell them to as long as I give them something to look at and a reason (Spinning CD and a "Please wait, Reticulating Splines" message perhaps). In fact the entire process isnt really a vital part of the program, it is simply to display some extra information for other users who may want to download it. So if that information was updated say 5 minutes later, it wouldnt really matter. In any event, I am having a look at starling and working to start a threaded process in the background and update the record whenever it finishes. If however libxml is as fast as you say, perhaps I simply need to do some load balancing and make them wait. Of course a major problem is that I still dont know where to call the processor from.

I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you will need to use has_many :through for this case -- HABTM isn't meant for 3- way joins as far as I know.

[Rails] Re: Changing a column name with migration failed
My earlier statement, "I don't have a column name" is incorrect. The statement: rename_column(:csvs, :created, :accessed) provided the table_name "cvs" as symbol, the old_name "created" as a symbol, and the new_name. So I don't have a clue as to what's wrong.

That's how Sphinx itself works, you won't find any plugins that update
an index every time a model is updated ('cos it isn't really a good
idea). If you really need live updates, you should consider using Solr
and the acts_as_solr plugin.

[Rails] Help with nested models and fields_for
Hi folks.
I'm trying to do stuff with models nested one layer deeper than I've
done in the past...and it's just not working properly. Here's the
situation:
* I have three models involved here: Recipe, IngredientLine, and
Ingredient (it's a cookbook application).
class Recipe < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :ingredient_lines
has_many :ingredients, :through => :ingredient_lines
end
class IngredientLine < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :ingredient
belongs_to :recipe
end
class Ingredient < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :ingredient_lines
has_many :recipes, :through => :ingredient_lines
end
* I'm trying to develop a form which edits a Recipe along with its
associated IngredientLines and Ingredients. Right now, I've been
working with this sort of thing (it's a Facebook app, hence the .fbml
extension, and I'm only doing relevant excerpts so as not to take up
too much space here):
--- recipe/views/new.fbml.haml ---
- form_for(@current_object) do |f|
= f.text_field :name
= render :partial => 'ingredient', :locals => {:f => f}
= f.text_area :instructions
--- recipe/views/_ingredient.fbml.haml ---
- f.fields_for :ingredient_lines, :index => nil do |ff|
%td= ff.text_field :quantity, :size => 3, :maxlength => 3, :id =>
nil
%td= ff.text_field :unit, :id => nil
- ff.fields_for :ingredient do |i|
%td= i.text_field :name, :id => nil
* I've tried this with fields_for instead of f.fields_for as well.
* There's some JavaScript to produce multiple copies of the partial
for multiple ingredient, but I'm omitting that since it's not relevant
here.
* The HTML/FBML output for this is as expected:
So far so good. But here's the problem: *submissions don't work quite
properly*. When I fill out the form and submit it, I get params
entries like
"recipe"=>{"name"=>"Recipe", "ingredient_lines"=>[{"quantity"=>"1",
"unit"=>"cup", "ingredient"=>{}}], "instructions"=>"Preheat oven to
350°..."}. Note that ingredient_lines[0].ingredient.name is missing,
even if I enter text in the corresponding form field -- in other
words, what I should be seeing is something like "recipe"=>
{"name"=>"Recipe", "ingredient_lines"=>[{"quantity"=>"1",
"unit"=>"cup", "ingredient"=>{"name" => "flour"}}],
"instructions"=>"Preheat oven to 350°..."}. What am I doing wrong?
Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks in advance!
Best,

[Rails] Re: Processing uploaded XML file
Hi Marc, Yes, the processing will block mongrel, but you should have more than one mongrel (either using Passenger, or straight apache load balancing). The bigger question is can your user wait 30 seconds for the response? There are ways to run the process on a separate thread, but I haven't had to do that yet. Yes, libXML is *much* faster than REXML. We are in the process of changing our code, but the XML code is entwined so far through our app it is a big job.

[Rails] Best way to edit associated models?
What is a good way to edit associated models? I am continuing a work project started by another. The schema doesn't seem unreasonable. But it is pre-existing and I don't yet have a reason to change it. For example: Location belongs_to Company Workshop belongs_to Company Workshop belongs_to Location Workshop belongs_to Questionnaire Company has_one Locations Company has_many Workshops Location has_many Workshops Questionnaire has_many Workshops I want to edit a Workshop training class. This has a company attached to it and through it has a location and a questionnaire attached to it. If I want to edit one of the associated models, such as to change the company name, is it reasonable to want to edit it in place with the rest of the workshop model? Generally here the relationship is one to one most of the time. Or is it better to force the data model on the editor and require them to edit each model on its own page? Is the data schema always forced upon the interface? If this is strictly a one to one relationship does that change things? I want to edit a Company. This has a Location attached to it. If I want to edit the location must I force the user to edit the location on a dedicated page interface and then back to the Company edit page? You can see the issue I am working though. General thoughts or recommendations here? Any good examples that you can point to?

You have to make sure Ruby sees two separate hash arguments:
<%= f.select :month, 1..12, {:selected => Time.now.month.to_i},
:class => 'monthSelect' %>

For what? A link? Your user could paste a link.

[Rails] Re: nil object in create_time_zone_conversion_attribute?
Some further information This issue is apparently caused by not passing enough parameters to the route helpers when you have nested resources. For example, I have a gallery, which has a nested image resource. When generating links in the view, I called the helper, but I didn't pass an array with both the gallery and the image, only the image. The first time presenting the view would work; the second, I would get the stack trace, and from that point on the mongrel instance is hooped, and would not serve any content. It would have to be restarted. I've fixed the view, and the problem is now resolved. However, I'm concerned about being able to crash mongrel hard this way.

I'm in a position where I'll have to upgrade Ruby (to 1.8.6 or 1.8.7) for old Rails app (typically 1.1.6 and 1.2.2), and that kind of upgrade is likely to become more and more frequent.

Definitely not necessary, but whatever -- let's assume it worked
for the moment :-)

No. The first contains the process id of the mysql server, and the
other is the socket used to communicate with it.
I'd imagine that somewhere under /Applications/MAMP is a directory
with a bunch of files with names starting with mysql. Look around, or
run this from a prompt:
find /Application/MAMP -type f -name 'mysql*' -print
> Symlinks?
Um, I'd recommend doing a little reading up on general *nix/shell
use. ("symlinks" is short for "symbolic links" -- a way to have a file
referenced from a different directory than it's really located in.)
But we can skip that for now; you just need to find what to add to
your PATH. And Rick already explained that.
Oh, yeah, but it's `echo $PATH`, not `print`.
HTH,

[Rails] Noob - added a column via migration but get error on insert
Hello! I'm very new to ruby and ruby on rails. I'm following a tutorial found here: www.javapassion.com/handsonlabs/rails_activerecord/ I'm running NetBeans as an IDE, with jruby, rails and MySQL. Here is the basic rundown of what I have done 1) Created db via Rake 2) Created table with 3 columns via Migration (user name:string hobby:string age:integer) 3) Inserted 3 user records via Rails Console 4) Added additional column via Migration (AddEmailField email:string) (Inside the migration rb -> "add_column :users, :email, :string" 5) This is where things go poorly, I try to add a new user with the email but get an error. Here is what I enter via Rails Console user = User.new(:name => "TommyJones", :hobby => "tennis", :age => 138, :email => "ema...@asdfgmail.com") And I get the following error: -- NoMethodError: undefined method `email=' for # from C:/Program Files/NetBeans 6.5 RC2/ruby2/jruby-1.1.4/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.1.0/lib/active_record/attribute_methods.rb:251:in `method_missing' from C:/Program Files/NetBeans 6.5 RC2/ruby2/jruby-1.1.4/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.1.0/lib/active_record/base.rb:2361:in `attributes=' from C:/Program Files/NetBeans 6.5 RC2/ruby2/jruby-1.1.4/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.1.0/lib/active_record/base.rb:2360:in `each' from C:/Program Files/NetBeans 6.5 RC2/ruby2/jruby-1.1.4/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.1.0/lib/active_record/base.rb:2360:in `attributes=' from C:/Program Files/NetBeans 6.5 RC2/ruby2/jruby-1.1.4/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.1.0/lib/active_record/base.rb:2130:in `initialize' from (irb):23:in `binding' from C:/Program Files/NetBeans 6.5 RC2/ruby2/jruby-1.1.4/lib/ruby/1.8/irb.rb:150:in `eval_input' from C:/Program Files/NetBeans 6.5 RC2/ruby2/jruby-1.1.4/lib/ruby/1.8/irb.rb:259:in `signal_status' from C:/Program Files/NetBeans 6.5 RC2/ruby2/jruby-1.1.4/lib/ruby/1.8/irb.rb:147:in `eval_input' from C:/Program Files/NetBeans 6.5 RC2/ruby2/jruby-1.1.4/lib/ruby/1.8/irb.rb:146:in `eval_input' from C:/Program Files/NetBeans 6.5 RC2/ruby2/jruby-1.1.4/lib/ruby/1.8/irb.rb:70:in `start' from C:/Program Files/NetBeans 6.5 RC2/ruby2/jruby-1.1.4/lib/ruby/1.8/irb.rb:69:in `catch' from C:/Program Files/NetBeans 6.5 RC2/ruby2/jruby-1.1.4/lib/ruby/1.8/irb.rb:69:in `start' from C:/Program Files/NetBeans 6.5 RC2/ruby2/jruby-1.1.4\bin\jirb:19 - Being so new to this I cannot figure out why it won't allow me to enter a user using all the fields?

[Rails] Re: Recommended way of restricting action permissions?
Ms. Klein, I handle that situation very similarly with the only disparity being where ownership is determined. In my opinion the object itself should know nothing about @current_user, whereas the application can know about Resource.user. I also tend to alias methods in my resources, like so def self.owner self.user end Then I insure that every object has some owner alias if it is to be restricted, and in my :require_ownership before_filter, I do the following: def require_ownership if @resource.owner == @current.user ... end The end effect is the same, but this allows the resource to be used intact in another application without modification, regardless of @current_user in the other application. Just of matter of who knows what about whom. Otherwise, unless someone can suggest a better method for us both, I personally think you're on the right track.

I think you actually get:
=> ["john", "doe", "", "\"1,200.99\"", "", "training", "12345"]
as your output. (At least I do.)
However, it looks like your input is CSV so why not let a CSV library
do the heavy-lifting for you:
irb> require 'rubygems'
=> true
irb> require 'fastercsv'
=> true
irb> FasterCSV.parse_line(line)
=> ["john", "doe", "1,200.99", "training", "12345"]
Note: FasterCSV becomes the CSV in the standard library for Ruby 1.9,
but it's a gem before that so look at the rdocs/ri for whatever you're
using.

[Rails] Re: Recommended way of restricting action permissions?
The simpler way is just search the user resources when performing an edit/update/delete. like this: def edit @resource = @user.resources.find(params[:id]) end This way you can be sure that the user will not be able to select a resource that doesn't belong to him. - Maurício Linhares http://alinhavado.wordpress.com/ (pt-br) | http://blog.codevader.com/ (en) On Fri, Dec 19, 2008 at 5:14 PM, Lisa Klein wrote: > > Hi, I just have a "best practices" question.

[Rails] Recommended way of restricting action permissions?
Hi, I just have a "best practices" question. I'd like to block users that don't own a particular resource from performing edit/update/ destroy actions on it. Here's how I currently do it: ## User has many resources, of different types --- resource_controller.rb --- before_filter :require_ownership, :only => [:edit, :update, :destroy] ... public actions ... protected def require_ownership @resource = Resource.find(params[:id]) redirect_to_somewhere unless owns?(@resource) end --- application.rb --- def owns?(resource) resource.user_id == @current_user.id end ... And I apply this before_filter in the controller of any resource I'd like to restrict in a similar way. I'm new to Rails and MVC so I'm just wondering whether this is the best way of accomplishing this, or if a different method is recommended. Thanks in advance! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Maybe I'm just not getting somethings because I want it to split my (comma delimited) input line based on comma or when a value is wrapped with double quotes. I can always handle the extra empty array positions by simple performing a array.delete_if with a block that looks for empty strings but that seems like overkill if I could handle it with the regex instead.

[Rails] before_filter for a specific controller/action
I'm learning about before_filter, implementing a simple "you must be logged on" thing. It works great, but I need to allow people to create a player as well. By writing the except as attached, that works, but then everyone has access to all "new" methods, which I don't really want. Can someone help me with how to properly construct this to limit non-logged in access to the new method of the players controller?

Pretend you're split. You see the comma after doe so you split. Then
you see the other part of your regex and so you split again, resulting
in the empty array

[Rails] Problem with Regular Expression
Why would the following regular expression produce the results below?
input:
john,doe,"1,200.99",training,12345
code executed on input:
values = line.split(/("\d*,\d+\.\d*")|,/)
output:
["john","doe","","1,200.99","","training","12345"]
What's up with the two empty array indexes that are generated during the
split surrounding my dollar value?
The regular expression is pretty explicit and the input string doesn't
contain anything that should cause them when run through the expression,
yet there they are so obviously I'm doing something wrong in my regexp.
Help.

I just wanted to try to guide your thinking a little bit away from the technical and help you to focus on the needs of your audience. As for me, I'm a developer so I tend to ignore canned solutions to problems. Unless there exist a canned solution that does exactly what I want. From my experience it's often easier to build everything myself as opposed to attempting to extend something to suit my particular needs. I can give you no feedback on Drupal. I've never used it, nor even seen it. I've never had the need and I tend to ignore things I don't need. The whole "built-it" or "buy-it/use-it" question is always tough. At least in my experience. I don't think there is a black-and-white answer to this question. The systems I'm involved in a so large in scale that we end up with a combination of all of that. I use some plugins and gems to take care of some common solutions. But, they almost never do things exactly as I would like. Sometimes I can live with it, and work around it. Other times I end up throwing them out and rolling my own solution. If you're looking for a definitive answer on this forum, I'm afraid you're not going to be satisfied with any answer. The only truthful answer is that "it depends." In order to answer these seemingly simple questions would require extensive details of you application's specifications. It just seems to me like you're "putting the cart before the horse." You need a clear understanding of your requirements, and a clear understanding of the needs of you audience. Next you need to find out who will be building your application. Choosing that person, or company, should be done independently of what framework they may prefer. Only then should you work with your developers to figure out what the best solution should be. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

[Rails] Processing uploaded XML file
Hi all Sorry if this seems silly, only been learning Ruby and Rails for 2 weeks, though I have been programming since the Commodore 64 came out. I need to process an XML file once it is uploaded (currently using paperclip). The problem is that the files can be quite slow to process, up to 30 seconds for some. Once this processing is done, I need to save that data to the model to which the file is attached. So my question is, where is the best place to call the processing function from? Will the processing block mongrel? Should it go in a new thread? If so, how do I do that? And is there any speedier Library than REXML for processing XML?
