Re: Rake task to convert ERb to Haml

Charles Feduke — Fri, 04 May 2012 09:34:51 -0000

The only caveat with that is you'll need to...

task :erb2html => :environment do

... so the Rails environment is loaded. Just means a few extra seconds of spin up which doesn't make a big difference with a one-time utility like this.

I prefer : from_path = Rails.root.join('app', 'views')

(So the code in independant from the directory.

Thanks for it ;)

Oh that's the whole thing, I mean its working, we're using it today at my company.

The author of the blog has not published the full example yet. So, I guess, it's not so simple.

It appears that the key to this whole solution is binding change on the parent model to fetch_success and fixing up the parent after the fetch. Or am I missing something?

I use the growl-notify gem, as it requires no further configuration. Check it out here: http://rubygems.org/gems/growl...

From my experience, relationships between views and models/collections are the hardest aspect if you have to deal with trees. This aspect messes up code the most. There is a temptation to keep links on views in models or other similar nasty stuff.

If you came up with an elegant solution for the whole backbone stack, please write about it

Re: haml and haml-rails

collin — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 21:16:08 -0000

Thank you very much for this.

I was starting out with haml + rails 3.0.9 with only the haml-rails gem, and form_for's were refusing to work.

Your setup worked immediately with a quick scaffold.

Re: A vanilla Rakefile

Charles Feduke — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 00:53:52 -0000

Cool, I'm actually packaging up something as a gem so I'll take your advice and move them to `lib/blah/tasks`.

Re: A vanilla Rakefile

trans — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 00:49:05 -0000

Don't put them in `lib/tasks`. There is probably little if any reason to put your tasks under `lib/` anyway. Just put them in `tasks/` or heck even at root. But if there is some reason that you want to redistribute your rake tasks then put them somewhere under `lib/{name}/`, e.g. `lib/myapp/tasks/`.

When using lib one must be name-wise so as not to interfere with other libraries.

I have same problem with growlnotify. Your post was very helpful. Thanks a lot!

I've been trying to get Growl notifications working with Guard and RSpec but I was getting this error:

No such file or directory - growlnotify --versionSolution was to install growlnotify from the Extras/growlnotify/growlnotify.pkg in Growl disk image, as you mentioned in this post.Thanks a bunch!

I just felt the sting of this one's bite a couple weeks ago myself... *sigh*

Re: I’m Dangerous with Ruby!

Pickle Pumpers — Sun, 31 Oct 2010 00:51:09 -0000

I fixed my code to allow for the poorly designed challenge... I thought it was too easy:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'time'

def average_time_of_day(times)
  times.sort!
  @total_time = 0 
  times.each_with_index do |str_time,index|
    time = Time.parse(str_time, Time.at(0)).to_i
    time += 86400 if time + 43200 < (@total_time / (index + 1))
    @total_time += time
  end
  puts "Average time: #{Time.at(@total_time/times.length).strftime("%I:%M%P")}"
end

average_time_of_day(ARGV)

Pickle Pumpers — Sat, 30 Oct 2010 23:47:00 -0000

Oh, I see. They assumed if you have times like 11:30pm and 12:15am the am time would be after the pm time. Except what if it isn't. The question itself is flawed. Congratz though on your win.

Re: I’m Dangerous with Ruby!

Pickle Pumpers — Sat, 30 Oct 2010 23:26:37 -0000

Hmm. Seems like you're doing an awful lot of work that's not needed. Maybe I missed something.

Here's my solution:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'time'

def average_time_of_day(times)
@total_time = 0
times.each do |time|
@total_time += Time.parse(time, Time.at(0)).to_i
end
puts "Average time: #{Time.at(@total_time / times.length).strftime("%I:%M%p").downcase}"
end

average_time_of_day(ARGV)

I agree to your article The hive fleets so far introduced by Games Workshop include Hive Fleet Behemoth, Hive Fleet Kraken, and Hive Fleet Leviathan,I try also to made a simple artwork for those tyranid but it seems I need a lot of effort to make it.

Hello!

Thanks for posting your great article.
I translated a similar VB project.
Now I have a problem.
I am trying to set (in a VB proj) in the .settings file the type of a property to the dictionary (i subclassed a non-generic type that inherits Dic<string, list<string="">>) and I get an error.
You might want to help me out, please take a look:
