I will help you set up postgres, post any problems you have. I personally just use homebrew for what it's worth.

The tool you're talking about is this http://inductionapp.com/ which while cool, does not help in installing postgres. I'm thinking of making an mac app that run postgres for you, but and time.

I'm not sure where to begin with this one but I have a Rails app on Heroku right now that uses Devise for handling user authentication and I've got about 50 customers with accounts. I recently wrote a C# application and I'd like to implement some sort of authentication before users can start running this app. Is there any way I can make the Rails app communicate with the C# app? I know this is possible with Microsoft SQL Server and IIS but I'd really just love to send a request to the postgres database on Heroku for validation or use some other technique that allows me to query the Rails app for user login info.

What an acceptable amount of time for it to take to render a view in response to a request? Is 70ms too long in a development environment? As I haven't pushed anything to production, I cannot tell how careful I should be about performance and optimization in the initial development stage. (writing my first major application)

What's the best way to make this readable and within 80 chars per line?

Note that in 1.8 you would have to put the dots at the end of the lines rather than the beginning.

Can you do it like this? This is how I like to do it in Javascript but I don't know if it's valid Ruby.

code:

Listing
  .within(@region)
  .includes(:region)
  .where('category_id = ?', params[:category_id])
  .text_search(params[:query])

Jam2 posted:

code:

def self.viewable_by(user)
  user ? self : where("secured = ?", false)
end

what does this do?

It's checking it against nil, it's basically a really quick way to check if someone is logged in.

Hi folks! I'm updating Redmine from 1.3.1 to 2.0.3, which involves updating rails 2 to rails 3, among other things.

My current installation is actually a bitnami redmine stack on windows. It installed fine and has been working great for a year now.

I think my options are

(A) try to update rails and rake and all the other things that redmine 2.0.3 requires, and then work my way through the redmine upgrade guide.

(B) store a mysqldump of the database, uninstall the bitnami redmine 1.3.1 stack, install the bitnami redmine 2.0.3 stack (which will have all the necessary dependencies), restore the database, and run "rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production" to update the 1.3.1 database to the 2.0.3 schema.

Which one seems like less of a headache?

Have you tried https://github.com/thedarkone/rails-dev-boost

If that doesn't work you'll probably need to profile your requests somehow to figure out where the slowdowns are happening. Does it happen if you don't use the asset pipeline?

I think I did a bad thing. This morning, mysteriously my rails server wouldn't start. It was bombing out with the message /Users/ShameBoner/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p286@rails_3_2/gems/activesupport-3.2.8/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:251:in `require': cannot load such file -- trace_nums (LoadError). I suspect that I properly hosed my gemset by doing a bundle update while rubygems.org's dependency API is down. I'm not sure what gem is responsible for the TraceNums class, but it seems to be missing. Is there any way to un-gently caress this gemset? For the time being, I had to go back to using my 1.9.2 version of Ruby.

Ha! Well it definitely felt awkward.

I'm not opposed to using a JS framework, though I'm wondering if understanding how this works without the framework in place yet will get me a better handle on how these things talk together.

I'd also give Spine.js a look as an alternative to Backbone. Spine is written in Coffeescript, has no dependencies, and is teeny tiny. After learning Coffeescript, I found that it made me love Javascript more, but also never want to write Javascript again, if you know what I mean. There are some ugly parts of the syntax (mixed array/hash objects, I'm looking at you), but I find it much more readable, concise, and faster to write. Unlike Backbone, Spine doesn't really have a concept of a view, so you must plug your own templating solution into it. I use HAML/Coffeescript through the awesome haml_coffee_assets gem.

I created a folder in my app directory called classes with a file classes/input_field.rb defined as

code:

module InputField

end

then I tried including it in a controller but I keep getting
uninitialized constant MyController::InputField

Not sure what I am missing here. Eclipse knows that it exists, so the intellisense is working.

I'm not sure how to include it in my root env (I'm assuming it's already taken care of since it's in the app directory).

Ruby code:

Thanks found that shortly before you replied. Now my issue is variables.

But now it keeps acting like things are methods instead of variables.

Physical posted:

Holy poo poo I did namee and name. Forgot that I wanted to use namee in the controller. Even if I did spell it right I still have to use the attr_accessor.

Thanks for the help!

As for nesting inside a module, I thought I had to. When I drop the module part I get wrong argument type Class (expected Module)

Just noticed that the mysql gem returns everything as strings (or nil). Why do I have to deal with this kind of crap.

Git isn't fetching the sqlite3 files that are present on my development server but I'm guessing that's just a driver? Still really new to the ROR stuff.
