Rails 3 and AWS::S3 Ruby Gem - ruby-on-rails-3

I am following the documentation (http://amazon.rubyforge.org/) to try to begin working on S3 into my application (for serving files to the end user) but I keep running into errors.
Here is my Model:
class File < AWS::S3::S3Object
set_current_bucket_to 'test-bucket'
end
This is what I am trying via the Rails Console:
File.find 'test.pdf'
But I keep getting this error:
undefined method `find' for File:Class
Not sure what I am doing wrong here... anyone else run into this issue?

File is not a very good name for your model as it gets overwrited by Ruby's standart class File (docs). Just choose another name and everything will just work!

Migrating a Rails 2 app to Rails 3: `image_path` throws "undefined local variable or method 'config'"

background
I am trying to migrate an old Rails 2 (Ruby 1.8.7) app to Rails 3.0.9 (Ruby 1.9.3) — yes it's a stepping stone to get it to Rails 4 and Ruby 2.2 — and I've hit the following problem.
The original app makes extensive use of an old Active Form gem which we've hacked slightly to support Ruby 1.9.
It mostly works, but there appears to be some issue with how it interacts with the ActionView::Helpers::AssetTagHelper that's part of ActionPack 3.0.9.
In my specific case I have an ActiveForm::DateCalendarSection (built dynamically) which subclasses ActiveForm::Element::Section, which, according to self.class.ancestors, is a subclass of ActionView::Helpers::AssetTagHelper. Looking at the ActiveForm source however there is no mention of AssetTagHelper or asset_tag_helper so how they are actually connected remains a mystery to me.
Problem
Calls to the method image_path result in an error
undefined local variable or method 'config'
The call to image_path is simply a wrapper around a call to compute_public_path in ActionView::Helpers::AssetTagHelper
# File actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/asset_tag_helper.rb, line 741
def compute_public_path(source, dir, ext = nil, include_host = true)
return source if is_uri?(source)
source += ".#{ext}" if rewrite_extension?(source, dir, ext)
source = "/#{dir}/#{source}" unless source[0] == //
source = rewrite_asset_path(source, config.asset_path)
has_request = controller.respond_to?(:request)
if has_request && include_host && source !~ %{^#{controller.config.relative_url_root}/}
source = "#{controller.config.relative_url_root}#{source}"
end
source = rewrite_host_and_protocol(source, has_request) if include_host
source
end
Diving into that with binding.pry it's evident that config is indeed not defined. Likewise controller is also not defined.
Question
What would have changed between Rails 2 and Rails 3, such that methods from ActionView::Helpers::AssetTagHelper can no longer access Rails' config or the current controller?
It could be you don't have enough of the Rails support loaded. Maybe pull in everything inside your gem with
require "active_support/all"
Alternatively, have a look at how modern Rails hooks things up via a proxy to the config:

undefined method 'path' for nil:NilClass using chargify_api_ares gem

I feel like this should be a simple problem, but I'm pulling my hair out trying to track it down. I'm installed the chargify_api_ares gem, but can't do even basic things such as
Chargify::Subscription.create
As I get this path error. I feel like this must be a gem issue somehow but don't know where to go from here.
UPDATE: bundle show chargify_api_ares shows the correct path, I just somehow can't access it. Still trying random environment related things.
Looks like this is the source of the problem, in active_resource\base.rb:
# Gets the \prefix for a resource's nested URL (e.g., <tt>prefix/collectionname/1.json</tt>)
# This method is regenerated at runtime based on what the \prefix is set to.
def prefix(options={})
default = site.path
default << '/' unless default[-1..-1] == '/'
# generate the actual method based on the current site path
self.prefix = default
prefix(options)
end
As I understand it, Chargify.subdomain should be setting the site.path, but I don't understand activeresource well enough yet to know what's happening and will continue to dig.
I too had the same issue.
I executed the following on the console
Chargify.configure do |c|
c.api_key = "<<api_key>>"
c.subdomain = "<<subdomain>>"
end
After that performing any Chargify console commands went through fine.

SalesForce databasedotcom gem conflict with ActiveRecord

I encountered strange problem - when Im trying to get User information from SalesForce using databasedotcom gem like this:
owner = client.find("User", deal_from_sf.OwnerId)
I get ActiveRecord error ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound for User, id:0013000000XXXXX
How can I use this method without patching native gem (as I understand alias for find method will help)?
The answer is so simple - read the documentation!!!
The problem obviously was in the namespace which was Global by default and User treated like ActiveRecord model. But one should add just one line to salesforce.yml file:
sobject_module : YourModuleName
and specify module where your salesForce logic lives)
http://rubydoc.info/github/heroku/databasedotcom/master/Databasedotcom/Client#sobject_module-instance_method

Extend a module in Rails 3

I want to define a function available_translations which lists the translations I have made for my application into the I18n module.
I tried putting the following into the file lib/i18n.rb, but it doesn't work when I try to use it from the rails console:
module I18n
# Return the translations available for this application.
def self.available_translations
languages = []
Dir.glob(Rails.root.to_s + '/config/locales/*.yml') do |filename|
if md = filename.match #^.+/(\w+).yml$#
languages << md[1]
end
end
languages
end
end
Console:
ruby-1.9.2-p290 :003 > require Rails.root.to_s + '/lib/i18n.rb'
=> false
ruby-1.9.2-p290 :004 > I18n.available_translations
NoMethodError: undefined method `available_translations' for I18n:Module
...
Besides solving my concrete problem, I would be very pleased to learn how this whole module thing in Ruby on Rails works because it still confuses me, so I would appreciate links to the docs or source code very much.
Either of these will solve your problem:
move the code to config/initializers/i18n.rb, or
require your file from config/application.rb, or
name your class otherwise (to trigger autoload)
The code in lib/i18n.rb wil not be loaded by autoload since I18n name will be already loaded, so either you load it yourself or change the class name (and file name) so the new name will trigger autoload behavior.
BTW, the I18n.available_locales() method is presented in rails.

How can I minimize logging of monitoring requests?

My rails app is pinged every minute for a health check and I want to keep these out of the log unless there is an error. I was able to do this in Rails 2.3.5 by setting the logger with this in application_controller.rb:
def logger
if params[:__no_logging__] == 'true' && params[:controller] == 'welcome'
&& params[:action] == 'index'
# ignore monitoring requests
RAILS_MONITOR_NULL_LOGGER
else
RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER
end
end
But this doesn't work in Rails 3.0.5
I've been able to put together a new solution by monkeypatching before_dispatch and after_dispatch in Rails::Rack::Dispatch:
require 'active_support/core_ext/time/conversions'
module Rails
module Rack
# Log the request started and flush all loggers after it.
class Logger
include ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger::Severity
def before_dispatch(env)
request = ActionDispatch::Request.new(env)
#path = request.filtered_path
path = request.fullpath
if request.path == '/' && request.parameters['__no_logging__'] == 'true'
#log_level = logger.level
logger.level = Logger::ERROR
#logger.level = 3
end
info
"\n\nStarted #{request.request_method}
\"#{path}\" " \
"for #{request.ip} at #{Time.now.to_default_s}"
end
def after_dispatch(env)
logger.level = #log_level unless #log_level.nil?
ActiveSupport::LogSubscriber.flush_all!
end
end
end
end
I put the patch in config/initializers/monkey_patch.rb
This works exactly as I need, I don't see this request in the log:
http://mydomain.com?__no_logging__=true
But all other request remain in the log unaffected
But there are still two problems:
1. I needed to comment out:
path = request.filtered_path
Because it causes this error:
ERROR NoMethodError: undefined method `filtered_path' for #<ActionDispatch::Request:0x105b4c0e8>
/ce_development/Rails/g3/config/initializers/monkey_patches.rb:52:in `before_dispatch'
/ce_development/Rails/g3/.bundle/ruby/1.8/gems/railties-3.0.5/lib/rails/rack/logger.rb:12:in `call'
...
I now understand this is not a problem. The offending method "request.filtered_path" doesn't exist in Rails 3.0.5, which I am using. I inadvertently copied my class from Rails 3.1.0.beta which does define filtered_path. Rails 3.0.5 uses request.fullpath as now shown above.
2. I needed to comment out
logger.level = Logger::ERROR
Because it causes this error:
ERROR NameError: uninitialized constant Rails::Rack::Logger::ERROR
/ce_development/Rails/g3/config/initializers/monkey_patches.rb:57:in `before_dispatch'
/ce_development/Rails/g3/.bundle/ruby/1.8/gems/railties-3.0.5/lib/rails/rack/logger.rb:12:in `call'
...
I solved this second problem by adding this line above
include ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger::Severity
I'm new to monkey patching and I can't figure out how to get filtered_path or Logger::Error defined in my patch. I've tried other requires, but no luck yet.
I'd also like any advice about the robustness of using this monkey patch on my project. Is there a better way to do this?
I know some people don't believe in altering logs, but I don't want all these pings in the log unless there is an error during its request.
A possible solution for Rails 3 where the Logger is replaced by a Custom Logger is described here: Silencing the Rails log on a per-action basis and here: How can I disable logging in Ruby on Rails on a per-action basis?. I had to add require 'rails/all' to the custom_logger.rb class to make it work.
