thank you for your help
Whenever I use 'n' to step over a line it steps into it instead. This happens to me on all the versions of jruby i've tried, the latest being 1.3.1
Does it work right for anyone? If so any idea how to fix it, because it's too painful when it steps into every function every time.
Also, I use it like this if it makes any difference.
require 'ruby-debug'; debugger

I've found a couple of different twitter gem (for ruby-on-rails) out there:
http://twitter4r.rubyforge.org/
http://twitter.rubyforge.org/
But I'm wondering if someone can rate them and provide a recommendation of either one or a new one.
Thanks

It's much harder than you'd think:
http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Photos.upload
The tricky part is how to create the MIME multi-part message in Rails, which Facebook requires. I'm also using a Ruby Facebook API gem (mini_fb) which signs my other requests, and in addition to having no idea how to set up the MIME multi-part, even if I did I'm not sure how to add in the required signature values with the gem.
Please help!
I'm referring to http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2005/10/equipping-our-ascii-armor.html but I'm getting drastically different results.
Does anyone know how to duplicate his blog post examples in Ruby?
I'm currently working on a largish Ruby on Rails project. It's old enough and big enough that it's not clear if all views are actually in use.
Is there any script/plugin out there that can generate a list of unused view files?
I am consuming various XML-over-HTTP web services returning large XML files ( 2MB). What would be the fastest ruby http library to reduce the 'downloading' time?
Required features:
both GET and POST requests
gzip/deflate downloads (Accept-Encoding: deflate, gzip) - very important
I am thinking between:
open-uri
Net::HTTP
curb
but you can also come with other suggestions.
P.S. To parse the response, I am using a pull parser from Nokogiri, so I don't need an integrated solution like rest-client or hpricot.
I am going to be away from the internet for a few weeks and would still like to get a project done. What steps should I take to make sure I have access to the things I need (ruby and ROR) while I will be disconnected?
I've read several other questions about material in order to learn RoR. But my question is can I start learning RoR without Ruby?
It's clear that the other way around is better, but I would rather try this way if it makes sense (somehow). Or learn both in parallel...
I'm making a forum application with various levels of authorization, one of which is a Monitor. I am doing this by extending my User class, and I plan on fine tuning this with "-ship" classes (e.g. administratorship, authorship, moderatorship, etc.). Apparently the Monitor class is part of ruby mixin. How do I keep my resource name without the collisions?
I have an Rails application with SayController, hello action and view template say/hello.html.erb. When I add some cyrillic character like "?", I get an error:

"X-Runtime"=>"11",
"Content-Type"=>"text/html; charset=utf-8"}
I use Windows 7 x64, Ruby 1.9.1p378, Rails 2.3.5, WEBrick server.
Hello,
Hoping to get some feedback from someone more experienced here. I haven't dealt with the dreaded floating-point calculation before...
Is my understanding correct that with Ruby BigDecimal types (even with varying precision and scale lengths) should calculate accurately or should I anticipate floating point shenanigans?
All my values within a Rails application are BigDecimal type and I'm seeing some errors (they do have different decimal lengths), hoping it's just my methods and not my object types...
Thanks!
Hi,
I am reading a file that is 10mb in size and which contains some id's. I read them into a list in ruby. I am concerned that it might cause memory issues in the future, when the number of id's in file might increase. Is there a effective way of reading a large file in batches?
Thank you
Does anyone know of a full featured survey tool for rails? Like Limesurvey (PHP -unfortunately for my purposes.)? Tried to look on Ruby-toolbox, but it seems to be down.
I want to start my daemon with my application.
In the command line, I can write something like lib/daemons/mydaemon_ctl start to start up my daemon, but I have to do this manually. I want the daemon to start when I start my server (i.e. when the initializer files are loaded).
Is there a ruby command for executing a command line?
Something like exec "lib/daemons/mydaemon_ctl start"?
Thanks!
I am a neophyte with Ruby on Rails but I've created a couple of small apps. Anyway, I'm really interested in OpenID and I would like to implement OpenID authentication and maybe some Sreg stuff in a Rails app. All of the research that I have done has come up with articles that are out of date or just don't work for me. Since I'm so new to Rails I'm having difficulty debugging the issues so...
What is the best way to implement OpenId in Rails?
Thanks
What is the best way to allow for the adding of images and embedding of video in the body:text field of a Ruby on Rails blog.
I understand that I can use an attachment like Paperclip to add a photo to a record but I am wondering how to get images/vids into the actual body of the post.
