Display a message at the end of a Rails Template - ruby-on-rails-3

I'm using Rails 3.2.1 and have created my own rails template. I want to display a set of instructions after the initial install, but bundler seems to run and pushes my messages up the screen.
Is there a way to stop bundler running after my template?
Or better still is there a way to display a message after bundler has run?

It's a bit of a dirty hack, but you can disable the built-in 'bundle install' invocation by overriding the run_bundle method:
def run_bundle ; end
If you still want your template to run bundle install, you can invoke this using the run command:
run "bundle install"
Alternatively, just use this line in your template:
run_bundle ; def run_bundle ; end
HTH.

Rails 3 in test env won't allow records to save, even with latest sqlite3

I saw this post:
Rails/ActiveRecord/SQLite3: Can't save records in test environment
And after upgrading my sqlite version to the very latest (3.7.17), I am still getting the following error:
ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: SQLite3::SQLException: near "SAVEPOINT": syntax error: SAVEPOINT active_record_1
Any time I try to create anything at all. If all I do is load my fixtures, everything is fine.
I have confirmed that rails is using the updated sqlite3 version by running "rails db".
In my development environment, I can create objects all day long with no errors (I can even have an object create another object after create).
What is special about my test environment that this is happening? How can I fix it?
Edit:
If I delete my test database, and redo rake:db:create and rake:db:migrate, I still get the same issues.
Doing "rails console test" lets me use the test environment just fine, and I can create objects all day long and see existing fixtures. It's only when I type "rake test:units" that I get the errors... (originally I had errors, but one error was legitimate (I don't know why I wasn't getting it in the development environment, and the adapter error was because apparently you aren't supposed to do "rails console RAILS_ENV="test", so it was looking for an adapter for an envrionment called "RAILS_ENV=test")
Edit: When I type "gem uninstall sqlite3" it uninstalls. When I then type "bundle install" it has a problem reinstalling...working on it now.
/home/jenny/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p0/bin/ruby extconf.rb --with-sqlite3-dir=/usr/local/bin/sqlite3 checking for sqlite3.h... *** extconf.rb failed *** Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers. Check
the mkmf.log file for more details. You may need configuration
options.
If I type "gem install sqlite3" separately, it works just fine, and then "bundle install" it works. However, "rake test:units" has the same errors.
Edit:
When I type "which sqlite3" it prints out "/usr/local/bin/sqlite3"
I wasn't even aware sqlite3 headers were a thing, so I doubt I installed them. I'll try to figure out how to confirm this and see if it helps.
Edit:
I don't see anywhere to download sqlite3 headers on the main site...just source and the precompiled linux binary. There doesn't seem to be a special header in the source, but even if there was, wouldn't it be included in the precompiled binary?
EDIT: link to bundler sqlite3 install error that don't happen when i manually install the gem
http://pastie.org/8063577
EDIT: Not a devise problem. I thought it was, but it turned out I was just creating another object in fixtures, not in the test code.
So, I can create devise User or any other type of object in fixtures all day long, but if I attempt to create one in the unit test, I get the save point error. Same thing for trying to save a fixture in a unit test.
Your problem is most likely related to the fact that you updated your local sqlite but after that you haven't reinstalled your sqlite3 gem.
I'd recommend you follow these steps:
Remove the corresponding line gem 'sqlite3' from your Gemfile
Run bundle install
Run gem uninstall sqlite3
Return the line gem 'sqlite3' to your Gemfile
Run bundle install one more time
If you simply gem uninstall and then bundle install, it will install the same version and dependencies that were recorded in Gemfile.lock. But since you're now using a different and more updated local version, it's safer to allow Bundler to install a new version if needed.

Unable to access config.handlebars in production mode

I've got an existing rails app, and I've added an ember front-end. I'm having trouble deploying the new version (which includes Ember for the first time) to Heroku.
The problem is that I'm unable to run rake tasks in production mode.
I discovered this when I tried to rake db:migrate on heroku. I got the following error:
rake aborted!
undefined method `handlebars' for #<Rails::Application::Configuration:0x00000004f0de90>/app/.bundle/gems/ruby/1.9.1/gems/railties-3.2.13/lib/rails/railtie/configuration.rb:85:in `method_missing'
/app/config/application.rb:60:in `<class:Application>'
I get the same error if I try to run any tasks locally in production mode, e.g.:
RAILS_ENV=production rake -T
the offending line, from config/application.rb:
config.handlebars.templates_root = 'ember/templates'
for various reasons, I had to move the ember templates down one file level. and it needs to stay there. everything works fine in development mode.
Any idea how I can fix this?
tried upgrading the ember-rails gem. this didn't help. (I'm using 0.12.0)
trick was to move ember-rails gem out of assets group

Delayed_job(2.1.4) + Rails(3.0.10) undefined method `delay'

I upgrading a rails application to rails(3.0.10) and update the gem delayed_job. I updated my migration for the table delayed_job but unfortunatly the method ".delay" doesn't work.
NoMethodError: undefined method `delay' for #<User:0x10394d140>
I didn't find a solution for that. I did : "bundle install", I restarted the server, tried to instal as plugin...
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks.
UPDATE :
I fixed the problem but created a file config/initializer/delayed_job.rb with
require 'delayed_job'
Delayed::Worker.backend = :active_record
Sometimes gems just refuse to install properly. I think what you should do is (assuming you have git installed, otherwise go here https://github.com/tobi/delayed_job and download delayed_job as a zip file)
git clone https://github.com/tobi/delayed_job.git
take what he has in his lib folder and put it in yours. wherever you need to use his methods then do
require 'delayed_job'
in the top of those files
I checked this tutorial, it shows a way to setup in rails 3
http://www.dixis.com/?p=335
it suggests using this in your gemfile
gem "delayed_job", :git => 'git://github.com/collectiveidea/delayed_job.git'
(if it doesn't work with this either, then try the same thing that i did, but replace
git clone https://github.com/tobi/delayed_job.git
with
git clone https://github.com/collectiveidea/delayed_job.git
tell me if anything works

Set up RSpec to test a gem (not Rails)

It is pretty easy with the added generator of rspec-rails to set up RSpec for testing a Rails application. But how about adding RSpec for testing a gem in development?
I am not using jeweler or such tools. I just used Bundler (bundle gem my_gem) to setup the structure for the new gem and edit the *.gemspec manually.
I also added s.add_development_dependency "rspec", ">= 2.0.0" to gemspec and did a bundle install.
Is there some nice tutorial what to do next to get RSpec working?
I've updated this answer to match current best practices:
Bundler supports gem development perfectly. If you are creating a gem, the only thing you need to have in your Gemfile is the following:
source "https://rubygems.org"
gemspec
This tells Bundler to look inside your gemspec file for the dependencies when you run bundle install.
Next up, make sure that RSpec is a development dependency of your gem. Edit the gemspec so it reads:
spec.add_development_dependency "rspec"
Next, create spec/spec_helper.rb and add something like:
require 'bundler/setup'
Bundler.setup
require 'your_gem_name' # and any other gems you need
RSpec.configure do |config|
# some (optional) config here
end
The first two lines tell Bundler to load only the gems inside your gemspec. When you install your own gem on your own machine, this will force your specs to use your current code, not the version you have installed separately.
Create a spec, for example spec/foobar_spec.rb:
require 'spec_helper'
describe Foobar do
pending "write it"
end
Optional: add a .rspec file for default options and put it in your gem's root path:
--color
--format documentation
Finally: run the specs:
$ rspec spec/foobar_spec.rb
Iain's solution above works great!
If you also want a Rakefile, this is all you need:
require 'rspec/core/rake_task'
RSpec::Core::RakeTask.new(:spec)
# If you want to make this the default task
task default: :spec
Check the RDoc for RakeTask for various options that you can optionally pass into the task definition.
You can generate your new gem with rspec by running bundler gem --test=rspec my_gem. No additional Setup!
I always forget this. It's implemented here: https://github.com/bundler/bundler/blob/33d2f67d56fe8bf00b0189c26125d27527ef1516/lib/bundler/cli/gem.rb#L36
Here's a cheap and easy (though not officially recommended) way:
Make a dir in your gem's root called spec, put your specs in there. You probably already have rspec installed, but if you don't, just do a gem install rspec and forget Gemfiles and bundler.
Next, you'll make a spec, and you need to tell it where your app is, where your files are, and include the file you want to test (along with any dependencies it has):
# spec/awesome_gem/awesome.rb
APP_ROOT = File.expand_path(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..', '..'))
$: << File.join(APP_ROOT, 'lib/awesome_gem') # so rspec knows where your file could be
require 'some_file_in_the_above_dir' # this loads the class you want to test
describe AwesomeGem::Awesome do
before do
#dog = AwesomeGem::Awesome.new(name: 'woofer!')
end
it 'should have a name' do
#dog.name.should eq 'woofer!'
end
context '#lick_things' do
it 'should return the dog\'s name in a string' do
#dog.lick_things.should include 'woofer!:'
end
end
end
Open up Terminal and run rspec:
~/awesome_gem $ rspec
..
Finished in 0.56 seconds
2 examples, 0 failures
If you want some .rspec options love, go make a .rspec file and put it in your gem's root path. Mine looks like this:
# .rspec
--format documentation --color --debug --fail-fast
Easy, fast, neat!
I like this because you don't have to add any dependencies to your project at all, and the whole thing remains very fast. bundle exec slows things down a little, which is what you'd have to do to make sure you're using the same version of rspec all the time. That 0.56 seconds it took to run two tests was 99% taken up by the time it took my computer to load up rspec. Running hundreds of specs should be extremely fast. The only issue you could run into that I'm aware of is if you change versions of rspec and the new version isn't backwards compatible with some function you used in your test, you might have to re-write some tests.
This is nice if you are doing one-off specs or have some good reason to NOT include rspec in your gemspec, however it's not very good for enabling sharing or enforcing compatibility.

Prologue with Ruby on Rails 3

I'm a total newbie to RoR and am trying to get the Prologue gem up and running. I've downloaded the prologue zip file from github.com/quickleft/prologue and am trying to follow the instructions in the associated readme file. I have encountered a number of issues....
Q1: What do I actually do with the extracted zip file? For instance, am I supposed to place the extracted files inside specific rails application directories or what ?
I've been able to install the gem by executing "gem install prologue". However, I cannot create a new application using the "prologue new my_app" command - the following message is displayed at the command prompt when I execute that command:
*C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/prologue-0.3.10/lib/prologue/cli.rb:58:in ``

from C:/Ruby192/bin/prologue:19:inload'
from C:/Ruby192/bin/prologue:19:in `'*
Q2: Does anyone have any advice on how to overcome this problem?
Q3: Also, when attempting to get prologue up and running is it possible to do this without integrating it into an existing rails application? If so, how?
(I have ruby 1.9.2 and rails 3.0.0 installed on a Windows Vista machine)
Advice/feedback on the above issues would be greatly welcome!
It seems that Prologue needs 'thor', another gem. You can install all dependencies with the command 'bundle install'.
You can integrate Prologue in a new Rails app, but you definitely need some (existing or new) Rails app to run it.
