[Rails] Action Mailer 3.2.9 retruns duplicates in deliveries array
I am extracting a standalone batch application from a Rails 3.0.1 project. This requires only ActiveRecord and ActionMailer. In my testing I set ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :test This causes the mail to be delivered to the ActionMailer::Base.deliveries array. However, I am getting two of the test email messages placed in the deliveries array instead of just one. For example: '[ #, , , >, , , , >, #, , , >, , , , > ]' I can forcibly fix this with a call to deliveries.unique but I would rather find out what is actually happening. Wherever this is occuring it is between the call to the mail method in the mailer class and the return from that class back to the calling script. As I provide no intervening code and since self.deliveries does not exist inside the mailer class on return from the mail method I gather that this array and method is being created and populated somewhere in the ActionMailer stack outside of my pervue. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? -- 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] Rails-3 Spurious NULL columns on INSERT
I have a model in whose migration I have defined a datetime column that both has a default value and sets null to false. As this is a PostgreSQL database the default value is 'infinity', which may be the source of the difficulty. When I attempt to save this model ActiveRecord produces an SQL statement that explicitly sets this column to NULL thus both defeating the purpose of the default value and triggering the NOT NULL constraint on the DBMS. How does one turn off or override this behaviour? What I want to happen is that model_instance.save will only specify columns that have values set and will simply not include any column that does not have an explicit value set. I can see that for other attributes ActiveRecord is setting things to the defaults provided in the migration. Is this the case? If not then where is ActiveRecord getting this information? And why bother? The purpose of a default value on a database column is to have the DBMS provide for the absence of information at the DBMS level. If I wish to do that at the attribute level then I can do so in the model class itself. -- 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] ActiveRecord and NULL in RoR-3
I have a situation where I am encountering a fragmented edi transaction. What results is that I attempt to INSERT a row for which I am missing some data. The columns affected all have sensible DEFAULT values but most also have a NOT NULL constraint. My problem is that notwithstanding I am not initializing those columns in my program, ActiveRecord is nonetheless setting them to NULL for the generated INSERT statement. I can see that this is the case because I initialize from a hash and the hash contents displayed immediately before the failing INSERT does not contain the attribute that is causing the exception. Because that column is explicitly set to NULL in the INSERT statement its DEFAULT value is not used and the NOT NULL constraint is triggered. Now, it is possible that I am misinterpreting what I am seeing. My question is: Does ActiveRecord, or some other part of the RoR DBMS interface, actually explicitly set missing attributes to NULL on INSERT rather than simply ignoring them? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

When I do this I obtain nil: current_shipment = current_entry.shipment The models look like this: class CaCustomsShipment < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :ca_customs_entry has_one :entry, :class_name => 'CaCustomsEntry' #short form def to_param shipment_identifier end class CaCustomsEntry < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :ca_customs_shipment belongs_to :shipment, :class_name => 'CaCustomsShipment' def to_param cctn end If I fetch the rows individually via .first then I see this: --- !ruby/object:CaCustomsEntry attributes: . . . created_at: 2011-02-22 16:40:49.085782 . . . ca_customs_shipment_id: "111" and --- !ruby/object:CaCustomsShipment attributes: . . . lock_version: "0" id: "111" . . . However, If I do this: puts( CaCustomsShipment.first.entry.to_yaml ) puts( CaCustomsEntry.first.shipment.to_yaml ) The first puts displays the entry I expect but the second returns nil. I also discovered that this fails: CaCustomsShipment( CaCustomsEntry.first.ca_customs_shipment_id ) but this succeeds CaCustomsShipment.find_by_id( CaCustomsEntry.first.ca_customs_shipment_id ) This gave rise to the thought that perhaps I was handling the to_param methods incorrectly. I tried removing the to_param definitions from the respective models but the program behaviour does not appear to change.

Robert Walker wrote in post #975828: > > No AuthLogic or anything else involved. I'd check your session store > configuration against what I showed here. Good luck. I have checked both the session store and the session migration. I can see no problems there. The way we migrated from 2.3 to 3.0 was to first create a new Rails 3 application and then copy in the .git directory from the original. We then reconciled all of the diffs. As far as I can determine, all of the cruft was left behind. I have no doubt that AR Session Store works in a new Rails 3 application without AuthLogic. But that is irrelevant. The entire issue revolves around getting AuthLogic to work with AR Session Store. I simply cannot get AR Session Store to work with our AuthLogic setup. I cannot discover why it works in Rails 2.3.8 and not in Rails 3.0.3. Presumably, AuthLogic sets session.session_id to some value somewhere. However, AL uses an attribute called session_id to keep track of multiple concurrent sessions for the same user and I wonder if there is some problem that practice introduced in Rails3. I have asked about this on the AL list when it first cropped up and I never received any reply.

[Rails] ActiveRecord Select
If I do this: x = Client.select("DISTINCT(client_category)") Then I get an array of relations. Instead, what I need is the entire row (model instance attributes) for each of the returned relations. What is the syntax to obtain the complete records? I cannot find a discussion of the select method in the current AR API (http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Base.html) and so I am having some difficulty in turning this into something I can use. -- 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] ActiveRecord Session Store problem with AuthLogic
I have asked about this problem elsewhere and have as yet not had any answer. I cannot determine what is wrong with our Session store configuration. In Rails2 we used AR store with AuthLogic without problem. When we switched to Rails3 we ended up using cookie store because we could not get AR store to work. Now I would like to discover why we are having this problem and fix it. What is NOT happening is that the session_id in the sessions model is not being initialized. Therefore we see this DBMS error: PGError: ERROR: null value in column "session_id" violates not-null constraint : INSERT INTO "sessions" ("session_id", "updated_at", "created_at", "lock_version", "data") VALUES (NULL, . . . We never explicitly set session_id in Rails2 and I cannot figure out how to do so so now. Does anyone know hat one must do to initialize session_id from inside AuthLogic? -- 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] Forceing PUST vs. POST in form
I am experimenting with a combined form. I wish to force the HTTP verb for this form to PUT. However, it always uses POST when submitted and I cannot determine why. The view template code is: <%=form_for( @user, :html => { :class => :edit_user_role, :id => :edit_user_role_form, :method => :put }, :url => user_roles_url( @user ) ) do |f|-%> The resulting html is: http://www.example.com/users/330/roles"; class="edit_user_role" id="edit_user_role_form" method="post"> This confuses me. The form method is not being set by the html attribute but a hidden field is being created instead. Since Rails considers only the HTTP verb for routing this simply will not work as I expect.

[Rails] render behaviour in controller action
I have an odd situation which involves an unrestricted, publicly accessible, part of our application that is reached via an entirely different domain name from that of the main application. This portion has only two methods, new (with create of course) and show. The requirements are that only the root url and the show url are valid for this domain. Anything else returns to the new action. However, if the show url is given for the initial request, in other words the new action has not previously been invoked for this session, then that too must go to the new action. Otherwise, it displays the results of the generated request on the show page. What I tried to do was to check for the presence of a model in the show action: def show return new unless @model . . . blah blah end This worked, up to a point. If the current request did not have a model instance then even with the show url provided on the address the new method was instead invoked. However, what I discovered is that in this event the show template is rendered from within the new method nonetheless. I tried explicitly setting render :action => :new inside the new method, and this worked for the cases redirected from show. However, this causes a multiple render error in other cases. I then tried rendering the :new action template inside show if the model was nil. That caused a nil attribute error in the new template since the model skeleton was not initialized by the new method. My first question is: where is the show template render being set? The second is: why does not the controller switch to the new method change the render template to the default for that action? The third is: What is the correct way to accomplish what I am doing? Anything that gets this involved usually indicates to me that I have fundamentally misunderstood something fairly basic. -- 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] Help with routes
Switching our routes file from Rails2 to Rails3 DSl uncovered an odd situation, of my own making, but I am having some difficultly imagining how to fix it. Basically I have a commonplace: user -> user_role (clearance) <- role type arrangement where: User has_many :roles, :through => :clearances has_many :clearances Clearance belongs_to :role belongs_to :user and Role has_many :users, :through => :clearances has_many :clearances What I am trying to do is to link through new_user_role_path(@user). But I get the following error when I try: ActionController::RoutingError: No route matches {:action=>"new", :controller=>"user_roles"} The thing is that when I run rake routes I see this: new_user_role GET/users/:user_id/role/new(.:format) {:controller=>"user_roles", :action=>"new"} So, I am somewhat nonplussed as to what is going on.

[Rails] Re: ActionMailer 3 does not generate a body from template
However, if I specify the template by calling the mail method with a do block and providing a render call to a non-existent template then I do get a template missing error raised. What is going on here? The API clearly states that if the mail method is called without a block then app/views are searched (presumably in a directory with the same name as the mailer class) for any files having the same stem name as the mailer method and ending in erb. So, why no template error when the directory is missing? I find that if I pass a block to the mail method and specify my template therein then, and only then, is the email body generated. Is this the expected behaviour? If so then the documentation is sadly misleading. -- 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] Re: ActionMailer 3 does not generate a body from template
I generated the new mailer using the rails3 rails g mailer name idiom. So, I assumed that the fact that a directory app/views/name indicated where I should put the template files. However, removing this directory has absolutely no effect on ActionMailer. At the very least I would expect it to raise a missing template error. But no, it behaves exactly as it has all along. It creates headers but no body. So, where is it looking for the templates and why on earth does it not fail if it cannot find them? -- 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] ActionMailer 3 does not generate a body from template
I am unable to generate a message body using ActionMailer 3. This problem occurs even for ActionMailer classes and views that are unchanged from Rails-2.3. When these files are run with Rails 2.3 emails with bodies result. When exactly the same files are used in a Rails 3 project the headers are produced but no body. I am at a loss to explain this. Initially I thought that maybe the API had changed in such a fashion as to drop the old template naming convention. However, having reworked these files to use the new api exactly the same behaviour is observed, only headers are produced. The new files are app/mailers/forex_mailer.rb and app/views/forex_mailer/forex_cacb_update_notice.plain.erb app/mailers/forex_mailer.rb contains this method def forex_cacb_update_notice( rates, to_address = 'x...@example.com', fm_address = 'y...@example.com' ) ... mail( :to => recipients, :from => fm_address, :subject => subject ) The call used to invoke this mailer is: ForexMailer.forex_cacb_update_notice(rates, send_to).deliver I therefore suspected that there must be something that has changed in how the templates are parsed. So, taking a hint from the API Readme I changed the name of the template files from x.plain.rb to x.text.plain.rb. This had no effect. As these templates are a mixture of fixed text and interpolated ruby values I expected that I should see at least the fixed text portions of the templates in the message body, but I am seeing nothing at all. Inspection of the deliveries array shows this: #, , , >, , , , > # # Does anyone have any idea why the message body is not being generated from the templates provided? -- 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] Rails 2 vs Rails 3 db:test:prepare oddness
Reference: http://gist.github.com/636670 I use PostgreSQL in my project and I have triggers and functions defined as Active Record migrations. In Rails 2.3.10 this works exactly as expected. However, in Rails 3 it does not. The DBMS service is the same in both cases so this variation is cause by some implementation change in Rails-3. The difference is that in Rails 2.3 the triggers and functions are created by db:test:prepare and in Rails 3.0 they are not. In both Rails-2 and Rails-3 the development and production databases that are created by db:migrate are identical, complete with the functions and triggers. However, Rails 3 db:test:prepare does not create the functions or triggers in the test database at all. This is a fairly significant failing and if it is a bug then I am very surprised to discover it.

It seems to me, taking your statement above as a guide, that you are confused as to the actual arrangement of things in the real world. First, there is, and can only every be, one real person with the identity 'pedro'. There might be many people with similar names who are also known to your system but they are all different individuals. In a computer system, indeed in any organized filing system, some method of distinguishing between individuals other than by common name is required. Thus User IDs, SSNs, SINs, IRS IDs and so forth. Whatever the case, a given individual should have only one identity in a system and a single system identity should only ever refer to one individual. Second, the attributes of a company belong in something that is related to that society in its own right and not to any individual associated with it. Third, the user membership of a society is a separate issue as well. Consider that userid pedro might work for two companies at once. Or might work first for one company and then for a different company. This is an association or state that is distinct from either the user or the company even if it is dependent upon both. In a similar fashion, user pedro might have superuser privileges for one company but only user privileges for another. As I understand your proposal this person would require an entry with one userid in the company-admin model and another in the company-user model and possibly even more entries for different company-user or company-admin model combinations. This is a maintenance nightmare that you are creating. If instead you look at this from the point of view of entities and their relations then resulting data structure will be much more natural and will be easier to work with. So something like: User 1---n CompanyUser n---1 Company plus CompanyUser n---n UserRole n---n Role n---n RoleRight n---1 Right Is likely a more flexible way to obtain the requisite functionality. If you go with AuthLogic and Declarative Authorization then after these are wired into your app all you are left to implement with respect to RBAC is in essence just: Company 1---n CompanyUser n---n UserRole Which strikes me as a bit more manageable. Devise is an authentication system. The fact that it can be used to implement a primitive two-tier authorization system is a convenience for web apps that do not require a finer-grained approach to RBAC and wish to avoid the overhead of a full-featured RBAC implementation. I cannot see Devise's authorization functionality dealing with anything very elaborate for the reasons that have been discussed at length in this thread. Namely, it either requires a separate User model or a separate User attribute for each and every role. The bottom line is that you have asked for advice. The advice that you are getting is uniformly against your chosen path. That is not to say that our advice is perfect or that your approach will fail. However, that seems the way to bet at the moment. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I have authlogic in production where there is but one authentication view used by every user. Each session created thereby has its own credentials and the user instance thereafter obtains its permissions from the declarative_authorization roles and rights configuration file. I will not pretend that dealing with these two formidable packages was without its difficulties, particularly in the the beginning when my ignorance of them was complete. However, once one grasps the concepts upon which each is based then elaboration of the resulting security system is far easier than I ever thought possible. > Cancan requires a different ability per model so there is a lot of > redundancy when i need to define permissions for one type > of user and almost the same for another type of user. Thats why i have > been thinking of joining everything in one model, but first i wanted > ask to see if that was the best/only way to overcome all those obstacles. I have not used CanCan (Ryan Biggs wrote that for one of his Railscasts episodes did he not?) but from what I can gather from your other messages it seems that you conflate authentication with authorization at several points. Authlogic, Devise and similar packages simply identify a particular set of credentials as having a unique accessor instance in the system. Declarative_Authorization and CanCan type packages tie access to specific bits of the application to specific accessor identities. Both need some form of implementation of the idea of a session to be of much use. My own experience with RBAC is that it proves best to stay away from things that you do not fully understand until you need to address them directly and can afford the time to master the intricacies involved. Imagining what you will need in the absence of concrete requirements is a great time waster. For an initial implementation of authentication and authorization I would create some minimal methods in the application controller to handle hard coded identities, rights and roles and then go ahead build the application. At some point the need for users will present itself and then you can implement your user models/classes modifying the stub methods to handle authorization alone. When authorization becomes the natural focus of development then it is time to look at things like Authlogic and CanCan. I think that you will find the this approach permits you to remain focused on the value-added part of your project and leaves the administrative pieces on the periphery until their requirements are largely defined by the rest of your application. -- 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] Unwanted page displays in tests but not in development
Rails 2.3.9 Ruby 1.8.7 Cucumber 0.9.2 Cucumber-Rails 0.3.2 Auth_Logic 2.1.6 Declarative_Authorization 0.5.1 My project uses AuthLogic for authentication using ActiveRecord session store and DeclarativeAuthorization for access control. I have a requirement to provide a public interface to a particular query page that requires no login. Thus, there is no AuthLogic session created. If the query is successful then the response is displayed on a show page and if not then the original input form is redisplayed with suitable notices. On the show page a link is provided back to the query request page to allow successive queries. The cucumber steps for all this, up to the link to the query form from the show page, work. I can follow the new_request_path to the input form using visit and there submit a successful request. However, what happens when I click on the link displayed on the resulting show page is that I am sent to the default welcome page instead of back to the query form. It turns out that this behaviour, showing the welcome page, was happening all the time but that somehow the visit method then just processed access to the unprotected page without complaint. However, this display of the welcome page only happens while I am testing. If I use the webrick server in development mode and I go to the query page url directly then I do not see the welcome page. Further, when I enter a valid query. display the response page and then click on the new query link then I go back to the query form without problem. The welcome page is never displayed at all. I am somewhat perplexed as to what might be happening here. I note that in development mode I have a session cookie notwithstanding that I have no user session created. Might my problem be somehow related to cookie handling? What is the present idiom to test Rails cookies? The examples I can find seem to be quite dated and, per my other topic, I cannot seem to be able to check the 2.3.9 api for details.

Yes. . . and No. If you insist on using a custom method in your controller then yes, you will have to specify a route for it. However, you really should be looking at things from the point of view of utilizing only the basic crud actions of create, show, update and delete. Consider what the verb logout implies. Logout from what? A session? Then what are we actually doing with respect to a session? Deleting it? Then perhaps the problem is that you really need another controller, say user_sessions_controller, and that the delete action in that controller is what should perform the logout action. Keep in mind that in web applications speaking of logging in and out is at best a very shaky metaphor and not a description of what is really happening. One does not log on to a web application, one creates an authenticated session. So long as that session persists then the browser can consume the private resources provided by the web app. Once the session is destroyed then the browser cannot consume those resources. In my opinion, this is the secret to thinking about REST, putting everything in terms of the four basic verbs. If you are thinking in terms of custom methods then you are probably not thinking REST. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Marnen Laibow-Koser wrote: > James Byrne wrote: > > No. You'd be better off using require or similar. > That really depends upon the question being asked. The OP explicitly asked on how to run an external script, that happened to be written in Ruby; not, what is the best way to run arbitrary external ruby code from inside a running Ruby script? If the latter case then I suggest that the OP consider this approach, which was recently shown to me by Matt Wynne on the Cucumber list: First, write the script and encapsulate its entire code within an execute method contained in a Script class file. Like so: script.rb class Script # should be the actual name of the script. def initialize(argv) # receive the ARGV array from the calling process @argv = argv end def execute # if required then parse any command line arguments in @argv here puts "script.rb called" end end #eof If a stand-alone script initiation is required, as with cron say, then write a stub script that calls the script class and executes the script code like so: runner.rb #!/usr/bin/env ruby require 'script' Script.new(ARGV).execute #eof If the encapsulated script is complex enough that it contains its own internal classes then the whole can be encapsulated inside an outer class given the script name. The inner class containing the execute method is then renamed to something like Main. In this case the call becomes: Script::Main.new(ARGV).execute And the class file script.rb has this structure class Script class Main def initialize(argv) @argv = argv end def execute script code goes here end end class OtherClass ... end end One may now use the script within any other ruby process as you suggest, via a simple require and subsequent instantiation.

[Rails] Passing a DB connection between scripts
I am attempting to test a stand-alone script. I wish to call the script from inside the test framework, passing it a variety of command line arguments, and verify the results. The difficulty I have is that the testing framework I am using, cucumber, holds db updates inside an incomplete db transaction. It thereby avoids the processing cost of an actual commit while easily resetting the db for the next test by performing a rollback at the end of the present test. In this situation, opening a new instance of the script via the backtick kernel method creates a new db connection. Since this is a different connection from that opened by the test framework, incomplete transactions are invisible to it and so the script fails, because the test data is not available. What I would like to do is to execute the script inside the existing Ruby instance and inherit the DB connection. This I cannot figure out how to accomplish. I thought that simply "load"ing the script would suffice, but no. In this case it evidently neither opens its own connection nor inherits the existing one for I receive this error at the load statement. PGError: not connected: ROLLBACK (ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid) /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.2/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb:212:in `log' Does anyone have any ideas on how I can accomplish what I desire? -- 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] link_to, how do you combine url options and html_options?
I have a link-to that I wish to look somewhat like this: link_to "link here", new_object_path, :method => :post, :confirm => 'Press OK', #url options :class => "css_class", :id => "css_id"#html options In any case I can either get the url_for options to work or the html options to work, but no matter how I arrange () or {} I cannot get both to work together. As far as I can determine, the api documents do not explicitly show this case either. What I want link_to to generate is: link here How is this done? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
