[Rails] Re: Web hosting for ruby on rails application

2011-07-08 Thread Victor S
In the cheaper VPS I would recommend Webbynode http://webbynode.com/ , you 
can go bigger but the low end is pretty good to start off with form most 
small business web-apps. And it's a VPS so you can install whatever you want 
-- they also have pre-build recipes for Rails 3 and other platforms which 
takes some of the setup pain away. I would also second Linode for VPS as 
well. Heroku is good if you only ever get one request at a time for your 
app, which in most cases is good enough, but still very minimal -- and 
unless you are (and maybe you are) a big pocketed startup that doesn't care 
about burning money, scaling up on Heroku is probably one of 
the easiest things.

[Rails] Re: Unit Testing getting me confused, not able to make test respond like application, where application is correct.

2011-05-15 Thread Victor S
Interesting, I thought I had to do a *collections(:one).find* for it to be 
taken out of the database, according to the documentation... but i did 
notice, and my next question was going to be, why do I get an error when 
doing the *find* method in the test?


   1. So, I guess it is not true that in order to get the values from the 
   fixture you do this: collections(:one) ?
   2. And in order to get the values from the db you do this instead: 
   collections(:one).find ?

For example this is the documentation at: 

http://guides.rubyonrails.org/testing.html#the-low-down-on-fixtures

# this will return the Hash for the fixture named david
users(:david)

# using the find method, we grab the real david as a User
david = users(:david).find

OK i think I fixed it by doing this instead:

  test should not save with duplicate name property do
c = *Collection.new(collections(:one))*
assert !c.save, 'Saved a collection with a duplicate name'

I have a few test cases, using unit test, I am new to testing but I don't 
understand why, if fixtures are loaded and validations are in place (in my 
case, I am testing that identical objects should not be saved to the

gives the right behavious, but the test does not behave as the actual 
application does, and should...

does 0 mean pass? And is then the validated_with not accepting 0 as a pass?

I do wish there was a different error message/exception raised if something 
like this happened rather than a failed validation, since validations ca be 
written to be independent of db column types and therefore not a reflection 
of what is acceptable to the database...

[Rails] Re: Reposted from Superuser - Installing Ruby on Rails on Ubuntu 10.04: A Living Nightmare

2010-07-03 Thread Victor S

I would strongly suggest you look into rvm to manage your ruby/rails
environments. But you might also want to install gem as your own user
as opposed to root. The new gems will be kept somewhere in your home
directory.

 I'm reposting this here from my original post on Superuser[1], to
 hopefully get more relevant feedback from more experienced RoR users.
 I need to get a RoR environment up and running, because I have a
 client that needs some RoR work done on her website.  Although I'm new
 to RoR, I'm a quick learner and was expecting installing and setting
 up the environment was easy, so I could focus my effort on site
 development.  I've already spent five days trying to get the
 environment up so I could just begin working.  I'll probably have
 follow up questions to this group (seems I can't get script/server to
 work at all) - but for now, this is the immediate concern.

 Update #3: Starting over from scratch, shortened this post, decided to
 re-install a clean copy of Ubuntu 10.04 on a VM and go through the
 walk-through[0] again. So, all the steps go without a hitch. As root:

 r...@ubuntu:~/rubygems-1.3.7# ruby -v
 ruby1.8.7(2010-01-10 patchlevel 249) [x86_64-linux]
 r...@ubuntu:~/rubygems-1.3.7# gem -v
 1.3.7
 r...@ubuntu:~/rubygems-1.3.7# rails -v
 Rails 2.3.8
 Now, as myself (in a separate term):

 empty...@ubuntu:~$ ruby -v
 ruby1.8.7(2010-01-10 patchlevel 249) [x86_64-linux]
 empty...@ubuntu:~$ gem -v
 /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:10:in `require': no such file
 to load -- rubygems/defaults (LoadError)
     from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:10
     from /usr/local/bin/gem:8:in `require'
     from /usr/local/bin/gem:8
 empty...@ubuntu:~$ rails -v
 bash: /usr/bin/rails: Permission denied

 So, this appears to be a permissions issue, but I don't understand
 why. Specifically, if I have to start making things go+rx all over the
 place, I really need to understand which specific files need the
 permissions change.

Sure get a Mac ;)

No but seriously first there's no reason why your app should be in the
www folder the only thing you want to expose to the world is he public
folder and you can do that by simlinking I don't know what the
equivalent is on windows well I don't know why anyone does web dev on
a non unix Linux environnment but I've seen weirder things... Also
you'll need phusion passenger to get your ruby working with apache. If
you want a prepackaged server  stack look into  http://bitnami.org/ I
got them working on my win 7 box of failure (does my bias come
through ?) but before you do all that you should know that you don't
need a separate server to develop your ruby rails app. Rails come with
it's own server you can use while developing...

 Search their bulletin board for a tutorial, i can't remember the link

 If you are developing locally you don't need apache, just go to your
 app in the terminal and say$ script/server

 This is a pretty good getting started 
 guide:http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html

 But anyway... check the Site5 forum it worked for me, you can try
 using the cpanel to start off your rails app, and it will setup a
 subdomain for you. if your get that app working, replace the contents
 of the folder with your own...

 I ssh'ed into site5 and linked the folder created by the cpanel wizard
 to my own rails 'public' folder outside the www folder, if i remember
 correctly. Theres no need for your rails app to be available to
 apache. Then you probably want to look into theirpassengerserver
 restart method... where you're supposed to make a file called
 restart.txt or something, and put it somewhere, I can't remember
 exactly I think I moved it from the default location... again, the
 forums are a good resource :) -- then you just ssh again and unix
 touch it and bam the server restarts you might not want this
 file to be in the www folder either ;)

[Rails] Send form validation errors through redirect?

2010-06-28 Thread Victor S
Hi,

I'm new at this, how do I send the errors that one would get from a
standard ruby scaffold generator on a form that is attempted to POST
incorrectly? With all the beautiful formatting etc...

Right now I have this:

  # POST /environments
  # POST /environments.xml
  def create
@project = Project.find(params[:project_id])
# @environment = Environment.new(params[:environment])
@environment = @project.environments.create(params[:environment])
if @environment.save
  redirect_to project_path(@project), :notice = 'Saved'
else
  redirect_to project_path(@project), :notice = 'Error'
end

And it works, but I only get what I define: Error, whereas I would
like to get the explicit errors that the validators are catching...
something like: (does not work)

  # POST /environments
  # POST /environments.xml
  def create
@project = Project.find(params[:project_id])
# @environment = Environment.new(params[:environment])
@environment = @project.environments.create(params[:environment])
if @environment.save
  redirect_to project_path(@project), :notice = 'Saved'
else
  rescue ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid = invalid
 @error = invalid.record.errors
end
  redirect_to project_path(@project), :notice = @error
end

Any suggestions?

[Rails] Rails layout generator not doing what the documentation sais it should be doing?

2010-06-27 Thread Victor S
Hello,

I've just started playing around with the Rails 3.0.0.beta and I came
across some seemingly strange behaviour, where I expected:

In previous versions of Rails, the rails generate scaffold command
would automatically create a controller specific layout, like app/
views/layouts/posts.html.erb, for the posts controller. However this
has been changed in Rails 3.0. A application specific layout is used
for all the controllers and can be found in app/views/layouts/
application.html.erb. Open this layout in your editor and modify the
body tag: -- http://guides.rails.info/getting_started.html

...but actually got the old behaviour, where a layout was generated
for the specific controller... is this just some weirdness with my
installation or has anyone else come across this?

PS,

You can also try figuring out how to set up a git repo on that server
and then checkout a copy beside it and make that copy your production,
then on your local machine git checkout from the server through ssh
and bam, you can make changes on the local version commit, push, go to
remote git pull and there's your updated app, version controlled
deployment, closest to heroku without the coolne$$ of heroku ;)

[Rails] Re: Looking for Easy Rails hosting

2010-05-23 Thread Victor S
With Heroku there's no git pull -- just push the code and it does
everything else. 

The problem for me is that it wasn't that simple, the app didn't work.
While in an environment like shared hosting (if were comparing low
price things, Heroku has a small free option as well) I have control
over the database, I don't get how heroku's databases work... I'll
assume that through ActiveRecord it doesn't matter. But whatever, if
you want to see what's in the database, Site5 gives you PhpMyAdmin, I
don't know how you check what's in the database on Heroku.

Site5 is shared hosting, not a VPS, right?  If so, then the two
aren't
really comparable -- and Rails generally really wants a VPS. 

Well the question we are supposed to be answering here is what is
easy rails hosting, not VPS vs shared. That's a whole other chapter.
Site5 is shared, its easy. Its setup for you out of the box. That's
all.

[Rails] Re: New to web app development -- ROR pros and cons

2010-05-09 Thread Victor S
If you really really have to use Windows look into cygwin, and bitnamy
rubystack http://bitnami.org/stack/rubystack, also JetBrain's
http://www.jetbrains.com/ruby/ or SublimeText.

But if you can afford a Mac OS X laptop you will be on the same level
as 99% of ruby developers... hey, it's what Linux always wanted to be
(a usable desktop unix).

That being said, I've tried working ZendFramework and I'm always on
the lookout for what other frameworks and languages are doing, the
only competition to Ruby on Rails I would say, is coming from Scala
and Lift, but there's about 3 people using it right now (they are the
developers)... most other options seem to completely miss the boat at
what ruby is good at: sweet concise syntax and rails: a complete web-
framework that will teach you how to develop proper web applications.
Now, if you haven't done any web dev, (simple PHP sites?) then you
will be a bit overwhelmed and you might not have a reference point for
why Rails is a good framework in comparison to others...

 Windows is frankly a pretty bad OS (and a completely inappropriate
 server OS, which is a big strike against .NET unless you're using Mono).
 I don't use Windows myself, but my understanding is that while a number
 of people are successfully using it for Rails development, there are a
 lot of common Ruby- and Rails-related tasks that work better on *nix.  I
 hope someone who does use Windows will provide more specifics.

 Best,

[Rails] Re: Intermediate level tutorials

2010-04-01 Thread Victor S
This book is quite useful, you can just get the PDF version if you
wish:

http://www.pragprog.com/titles/rails3/agile-web-development-with-rails-third-edition

This is a useful place to get info:

http://guides.rubyonrails.org/

 Hi
 I'm hoping somebody can suggest an intermediate level tutorial or
 point me in the right direction.
 I'm a moderately experienced programmer (20 + years off and on) but
 I'm really struggling to get to grips with Web/RoR development. I'm
 reasonably familiar with Python and am getting familiar with Ruby.
 Having just spent a whole day trying to get a button to call a method
 in a controller I'm clearly missing some fundamental knowledge.

 I've worked through a few of the many tutorials with few problems
 (wrong Rails version mostly) but they all seem pretty basic.
 On the otherhand discussions on here mostly seem to assume more than I
 know!

 So - any conversion tutorials out there for procedural, non-web
 developers?

 Thanks in advance
 Ian

[Rails] Re: Most popular IDEs for Ruby on Rails development

Um, because it's not? Because its easy and fast?

 Go on then... in the sliding scale between hardcore text editors (Vi,
 Edlin, Emacs) and bloaty IDEs, how can people not consider Textmate to
 be closer to an IDE than a text editor?

 One of my colleagues at the moment is a Mac Fanboy, and spits and
 curses about IDEs and happily sits there batting away with Textmate
 and all its integrated syntax highlighting and autocomplete
 helpers...

[Rails] Re: Fascism is coming to Internet

2010-02-23 Thread Victor S
To be honest, the language sounds quite ambiguous...

Things like knowing may not be as easy to define as you think...
your example of Xerox 'knowing' that their machines are being used for
copyright infringement doesn't cut it. To know is, in some manner, to
be witness, if you have not seen it happen you can't know. You can
believe that copyright infringement happens at Kinkos, but you don't
necessarily know.

I haven't read the whole things, but it sound like political speak so
far: intentionally ambiguous to leave a lot of wiggle room...
