Subject: [raleigh.rb] Ruby with cygwin for backgroundrb
Message-ID: <404e0d6d0912011113h255f7f61r6434c2d7484e71bc@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

So I finally gave up trying to start the start the backgroundrb server
on windows and I am trying to use Cygwin. However, I keep bumping into
errors. I installed ruby (one click installer) amd rubygems0.9.3. But
when i do a ruby setup.rb to install gems, it throws an error saying
taht the ruby_version variable might be uninitialized <NoMethodError>.
I have no idea how to proceed in order to make this backgroundrb work
on cygwin.

If there are any users who have made it work on cygwin, could you
please tell me which version of ruby and gems are needed and how do i
install them (coz apparently, i am just hitting errors all the time).

Thank You,
Harini

Thats exactly what I did. But I feel I am still going wrong somewhere.
Could you please tell me which versions of Ruby adn Gems would work
for cygwin? I am sure that I am making some mistake there.

Thank you,

Message-ID: <85C765D2-8FE9-42DB-9720-592BE80ED1B4@lunenburg.org>

Greetings, Triangle!

I'm writing from San Antonio, where I've been since April 2008 working with Rackspace.  There's an opening for a Rails developer on my team, so I figured I'd write back home and see if anyone else wanted to make the journey to the land of chorizo and honey.

I'm part of a two-person internal development group at Rackspace, writing apps to make life easier for the frontline guys.  Quite a bit of process automation, data integration, and the like, but with a big opportunity to just code up stuff that will help people get their jobs done or make life more pleasant for them.

We have a suite of about 20 different small-medium sized apps to maintain, and a list of new stuff to write going forward.

This position is located in San Antonio, home of the River Walk, the Spurs, the Alamo, and more.  Rackspace itself has engineering offices in San Antonio, Austin, Blacksburg, and London.

If anyone wants more details, feel free to drop me a line!  

Let's Go Canes,

Preparation for the Book Exchange is coming along great, including a
box I just picked up from the Prags comprised of some "surprises" for
everyone. You won't want to miss it! As a reminder, you need to bring
one thing:

* A book you're passionate about, wrapped up for maximum surprise value

In addition, I'd like everyone with any culinary abilities (or
related/married/otherwise able to bribe someone with culinary
abilities) to consider bringing:

* A tasty treat to share

I'll be bringing drinks, and they'll be so much better paired with
some munchies!

As I've seen various of you, I've heard lots of excitement about the
event, so be sure to RSVP
(http://www.meetup.com/raleighrb/calendar/11377547/) and be there on
Tuesday night. Lets make it an event remembered for years to come!


P.S. Any questions, comments, concerns, etc., don't hesitate to drop
me an email.

Subject: [raleigh.rb] ActionView::TemplateError with sprockets_include_tag
Message-ID: <83D94F41-0589-49B5-92AC-7F8A2A92B126@bclennox.com>

Helloes,

I'm using Sprockets to manage my JS on a couple of projects. Every time I restart my app, the very first page load throws an exception:

 ActionView::TemplateError (undefined local variable or method `sprockets_include_tag' for #<ActionView::Base:0x1035fa6a0>)...

But after that, everything works fine until the next restart.

Fortunately, sprockets_include_tag just calls javascript_include_tag('/sprockets.js'), so I worked around it by doing that myself, but I can't figure out why the exception is being thrown in the first place.

Here's vendor/plugins/sprockets-rails/init.rb:

> # ...
> class ActionController::Base
>  helper :sprockets
> end

And the SprocketsHelper:

> module SprocketsHelper
>  def sprockets_include_tag
>    javascript_include_tag("/sprockets.js")
>  end
> end

This happens in development and production environments. Google is no help. Any ideas?

sprockets-rails 1bffeeb51886abe6c6c37cdaee043a6b5787710a
sprockets 1.0.2
rails 2.3.4

Thanks!

It sounds like a load order problem. Can you require or include  
earlier, before the sprockets_include_tag is used?

Well, I added this line to config/environment.rb:

  config.plugins = [ 'sprockets-rails', :all ]

but the problem persisted. That did get me thinking that it was a conflict with my gems, though.

I ended up creating a pristine app with all my gem requirements and only a single call to sprockets_include_tag in the layout, and eventually I narrowed it down to resource_controller.

Since resource_controller lets you subclass ResourceController::Base in your controllers, most of my controllers weren't actually inheriting from ActionController::Base, which is what Sprockets modifies in its init.rb. I wrote my own config/initializers/sprockets.rb to open up ApplicationController and include the helper, and all is well!

Thanks!

As you can see, I'm trying to build a 32-bit MySQL gem to match my
32-bit built Ruby.  The system has a mixed 32 / 64 bit libraries, with
the 32-bit ones in /usr/lib and the 64-bit ones in /usr/lib64.  So
far, mostly standard stuff.  However, mkmf.rb seems to always be
including -L/usr/lib64 in the command line to link the .so together.
I can't seem to figure out how to persuade mkmf.rb to use /usr/lib
instead of /usr/lib64 when linking.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Okay.  I think I fixed it myself.  The problem was that the OS
installed the 64-bit MySQL RPMs, and I'd also installed the 32-bit
MySQL client library RPMs.  The OS's mysql_config file was telling
mkmf.rb to use /usr/lib64, as that would be how to talk to the default
MySQL installation, but I didn't want that.  The solution was to tell
extconf.rb to ignore mysql_config and specify my own library
directory:

gem install mysql -- --without-mysql-config --with-mysql-lib=/usr/lib/mysql

Ugh.

Subject: [raleigh.rb] Creating through model triggers validation on targets?
Message-ID: <477F24C9-AEB5-4201-B5F0-811D1A9373A8@gmail.com>

Rails question: I have a "has_many through" association and I've noticed that when I create a new record, validation gets triggered on the targets of the through model. This is undesirable in my view since I'm wanting to establish a relationship between two models... I don't really care if one or the other is valid. I'd at least like to have some control over whether validation runs or not.

Here's the situation:

class Hospital < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :surgeons, :through => :hospital_surgeons
  has_many :hospital_surgeons
end

class HospitalSurgeon
  belongs_to :hospital
  belongs_to :surgeon
end

class Surgeon
  # validates some stuff
end

I create a new instance of a Hospital and assign existing surgeon IDs to it:

hospital = Hospital.new
hospital.surgeon_ids = ["1", "2", "3"]
hospital.save

This works fine when the surgeons are all valid, but the save fails if any one of the surgeons are invalid. (Keep in mind that these are surgeons that already exist, they are just in an invalid state either through a direct database update or because the data in them predates the validation.)

This seems wrong. I want to save the association between the hospital and the surgeons, regardless of whether or not the surgeons are valid.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas?

Matthew

If you just want to establish the relationship, you could save the 
Hospital, and then simply create the appropriate HospitalSurgeon objects 
that map the Hospital to the Surgeon.

The save method accepts a boolean to indicate whether to perform 
validation, but I don't think you want to skip that when saving the 
Hospital.

This seems like a good solution to the specific use case Matthew mentioned.

I wonder whether there are scenarios where he might want the validation 
though, such as where a new surgeon is being added vs. just wanting to 
connect an existing one to a hospital. Of course it doesn't seem like 
you'd ever want invalid surgeons in the database anyway, so there's 
probably a few things I'm missing.

I suppose I meant save(false). You could then check for validation messages
on the models that you care about and ignore the others.

Well, most hospitals are FULL of invalids, maybe some of them are surgeons!

All - 

As we do the yearly toy rotation boogie here at Chez Smith I've come across my old Mindstorm NXT set. I bought them back in 2007 thinking I'd have time to experiment with them. Sadly, they have languished these past two years.

The set is complete minus the original packaging. All parts have been sorted into a couple of small Rubbermaid bins for ease of use. Asking price is $100 OBO.

Thanks,

Would you be willing to ship it?  I work with a FIRST Lego League team
here and they're pretty underprivileged; we'd love to get this off you
