I am trying to build a gem in Rails 3 and inside it i am trying to pass an initializer:
Credentials.configure do |config|
file = File.read("#{Rails.root}/config/twitter.yaml")
file_config = YAML.load(file)
config.consumer_key = file_config[Rails.env][:consumer_key]
config.consumer_secret = file_config[Rails.env][:consumer_secret]
config.callback_url = URI.escape(file_config[Rails.env][:callback_url])
config.time_stamp = Time.now.to_i
end
and then i am trying to call it like this:
Credentials.time_stamp
but i get this error:
uninitialized constant Twitter::Credentials
what is the problem?
Thanks
Your gem will first need to define a generator in lib/generators/your_gem_name_generator.rb
mkdir -p lib/generators/
Copy your initializer in that folder with a name like twitter_credentials.rb
Then create another file in that folder with a name like twitter_generator.rb with content like this:
class YourGemNameRailtie < Rails::Generators::Base
source_root(File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__)))
def copy_initializer
copy_file 'twitter_credentials.rb', 'config/initializers/twitter_credentials.rb'
end
end
You should check out the official documentation for creating a generator here:
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/generators.html

I have a PDF that is very large and needs to be handled in the background. Inside a custom Job I want to create it, upload it to S3, and then email the user with a url when its ready. I facilitate this via a PdfUpload model.
Is there anything wrong with my approach/code? Im using File.open() as outlined in examples I found, but this seems to be the root of my error ( TypeError: no implicit conversion of FlightsWithGradesReport into String ).
class PdfUpload < ActiveRecord::Base
has_attached_file :report,
path: "schools/:school/pdf_reports/:id_:style.:extension"
end
/pages_controller.rb
def flights_with_grades_report
flash[:success] = "The report you requested is being generated. An email will be sent to '#{ current_user.email }' when it is ready."
GenerateFlightsWithGradesReportJob.perform_later(current_user.id, #rating.id)
redirect_to :back
authorize #rating, :reports?
end
/ the job
class GenerateFlightsWithGradesReportJob < ActiveJob::Base
queue_as :generate_pdf
def perform(recipient_user_id, rating_id)
rating = Rating.find(rating_id)
pdf = FlightsWithGradesReport.new( rating.id )
pdf_upload = PdfUpload.new
pdf_upload.report = File.open( pdf )
pdf_upload.report_processing = true
pdf_upload.report_file_name = "report.pdf"
pdf_upload.report_content_type = "application/pdf"
pdf_upload.save!
PdfMailer.pdf_ready(recipient_user_id, pdf_upload.id)
end
end
This results in an error:
TypeError: no implicit conversion of FlightsWithGradesReport into String
Changing this:
pdf_upload.report = File.open( pdf )
to this:
pdf_upload.report = StringIO.new(pdf.render)
fixed my problem.
I want to add a method for possessive strings with the following code:
module PossessiveHelper
def possessive
suffix = if self.downcase == 'it'
"s"
elsif self.downcase == 'who'
'se'
elsif self.end_with?('s')
"'"
else
"'s"
end
self + suffix
end
end
class String
include Possessive
end
I wonder though where and how I'm including this in a Rails app 3.2?
I like to have an initializer called monkey_patching.rb with the following:
Dir[Rails.root.join('lib', 'monkey_patching', '**', '*.rb')].each do |file|
require file.to_s
end
Then all you have to do is to add your code in a lib/monkey_patching/string.rb
You should create a rb file with the same content and put it in config/initializers.
It will get loaded during initialization of your Rails application and these new methods will be available for all string objects.
Trying to rewrite an old alias_method_chain to add a filter on outgoing emails, and it isn't working. I'm pretty sure I've leaving something out/missing something, but I don't know what.
This file is in /lib/outgoing_mail_filter.rb, which is loaded with config/initializers/required.rb
Here's the old code that worked under Rails 2:
class ActionMailer::Base
def deliver_with_recipient_filter!(mail = #mail)
unless 'production' == Rails.env
mail.to = mail.to.to_a.delete_if do |to|
!(to.ends_with?('some_domain.com'))
end
end
unless mail.to.blank?
deliver_without_recipient_filter!(mail)
end
end
alias_method_chain 'deliver!'.to_sym, :recipient_filter
end
And here's my current attempt at re-writing it:
class ActionMailer::Base
module RecipientFilter
def deliver(mail = #mail)
super
unless 'production' == Rails.env
mail.to = mail.to.to_a.delete_if do |to|
!(to.ends_with?('some_domain.com'))
end
end
unless mail.to.blank?
deliver(mail)
end
end
end
include RecipientFilter
end
When I run my tests, it doesn't even look like this is being called or anything. Any help is appreciated
I'm using mail_safe to rewrite emails in the development environment, highly recommended. You could look into it for inspiration if it doesn't fit your bill, the code is very simple.
The following code is extracted from /lib/mail_safe/rails3_hook.rb and should do what you want:
require 'mail'
module MailSafe
class MailInterceptor
def self.delivering_email(mail)
# replace the following line with your code
# and don't forget to return the mail object at the end
MailSafe::AddressReplacer.replace_external_addresses(mail) if mail
end
::Mail.register_interceptor(self)
end
end
Alternate version, registering with ActionMailer::Base instead of Mail (thanks to Kevin Whitaker for letting me know it's possible):
module MailSafe
class MailInterceptor
def self.delivering_email(mail)
# replace the following line with your code
# and don't forget to return the mail object at the end
MailSafe::AddressReplacer.replace_external_addresses(mail) if mail
end
::ActionMailer::Base.register_interceptor(self)
end
end
I am using ActiveResource to manage accessing an external service.
The external service has an URL like:
http://api.cars.com/v1/cars/car_id/range/range_num?filter=filter1,filter2
Here's my Car class:
class Car < ActiveResource::Base
class << self
def element_path(id, prefix_options = {}, query_options = nil)
prefix_options, query_options = split_options(prefix_options) if query_options.nil?
"#{prefix(prefix_options)}#{collection_name}/#{URI.parser.escape id.to_s}#{query_string(query_options)}"
end
def collection_path(prefix_options = {}, query_options = nil)
prefix_options, query_options = split_options(prefix_options) if query_options.nil?
"#{prefix(prefix_options)}#{collection_name}#{query_string(query_options)}"
end end
self.site = "http://api.cars.com/"
self.prefix = "/v1/"
self.format = :json
end
When I set up my object to get a particular car in rails console:
> car = car.new
> car.get('1234')
I get a URL like this:
http://api.cars.com/v1/cars//1234.json
How do I get the URL to include the range and range_num elements?
Also, i don't want the .json extension on the end of the URL. I've attempted overriding the element_name and collection_name methods as described here: How to remove .xml and .json from url when using active resource but it doesn't seem to be working for me...
Thanks in advance for any ideas!
Get rid of the forward slash in the URL
"#{prefix(prefix_options)}#{collection_name}/#{URI.parser.escape id.to_s}#{query_string(query_options)}"
becomes:
"#{prefix(prefix_options)}#{collection_name}#{URI.parser.escape id.to_s}#{query_string(query_options)}"
How can you tell if a generate or destroy command has been used to invoke a custom generator?
In Rails 2 you could do this:
if options[:command] == :destroy
...
end
I want to print out some helpful information, but only when rails generate has been called, not when rails destroy is called:
if is_generating
puts "You're generated something!"
end
Thanks.
check the generator class's behavior. It seems you should get either :invoke for generate or :revoke for destroy. For example, I added this:
class PatternGenerator < Rails::Generators::NamedBase
def echo_behavior
p "generate? #{generating?}"
p "destroying? #{destroying?}"
end
protected
def generating?
:invoke == behavior
end
def destroying?
:revoke == behavior
end
end
Running this, I get:
younker % rails g pattern foo
"generate? true"
"destroying? false"
younker % rails destroy pattern foo
"generate? false"
"destroying? true"
Seems to work and makes sense, so that's my final answer.
