Devise not working after update, Tests via capybara complete without failures - ruby-on-rails-3

I'm quite new to RoR and programmed a couple of things before discovering Test-Driven-Development. So I tried to write some tests with guard-rspec and capybara. All was fine, but I got some deprecation warnings for devise (had version 1.1.rc02), so I updated it (now having latest version 1.4.5).
These were the warnings:
Running all specs
DEPRECATION WARNING: Using form_for(:name, #resource) is deprecated. Please use form_for(#resource, :as => :name) instead. (called from _app_views_devise_sessions_new_html_erb___942904761_2291541620_0 at /Users/xonic/Documents/work/ror.ror.at/app/views/devise/sessions/new.html.erb:3)
FDEPRECATION WARNING: Using form_for(:name, #resource) is deprecated. Please use form_for(#resource, :as => :name) instead. (called from _app_views_devise_sessions_new_html_erb___942904761_2291541620_0 at /Users/xonic/Documents/work/ror.ror.at/app/views/devise/sessions/new.html.erb:3)
.DEPRECATION WARNING: Using form_for(:name, #resource) is deprecated. Please use form_for(#resource, :as => :name) instead. (called from _app_views_devise_registrations_new_html_erb__1735759005_2291086140_0 at /Users/xonic/Documents/work/ror.ror.at/app/views/devise/registrations/new.html.erb:3)
So I changed
<%= form_for(resource_name, resource, :url => registration_path(resource_name)) do |f| %>
to
<%= form_for(resource, :url => registration_path(resource_name)) do |f| %>
and got rid of the warnings. So far so good, I continued with my tests and did not try to open the application in the browser myself.
I'm not sure what happened then but all of a sudden, when trying to open the application in the browser, i get the following error message:
NoMethodError in Slides#index
Showing /Users/xonic/Documents/work/ror.ror.at/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb where line #27 raised:
private method `split' called for #<Class:0x10c023278>
Extracted source (around line #27):
24:

28: Signed in as <%= link_to current_user.username, user_path(current_user) %>. Not you? <%#, user_slides_path(current_user.username) %>
29: <%= link_to "Sign out", destroy_user_session_path %>
30: <% else %>
So obviously, Devise is in trouble... no idea why. Funny thing is, when calling save_and_open_page while testing the app, a browser window opens with the application displaying correctly and no errors at all.
Guard::RSpec is running, with RSpec 2!

UPDATE:
I've seen this very similar question Devise: NoMethod Error & user_signed_in and have correctly set up the user model, so that's not the problem.
This is quite confusing to me, hopefully someone out there understands what's happening crossingFingers
Thanks,

UPDATE
I fixed it, but stackoverflow won't let me answer my own question in the next 6hrs because of lack of reputation sigh. Will post the solution later.

Ok, I fixed it (close to perfect). Here's what i did:
I reverted git to a working status and began from scratch. This time I did not use the line
gem 'devise', :git => 'git://github.com/plataformatec/devise.git'
in my Gemfile, instead I only put
gem 'devise'
and then installed the latest devise gem through
gem install devise
rails generate devise:install
The command installed version 1.4.5, not 1.4.7 as I previously had. Then I installed all the other gems, namely capybara, guard-rspec, factory_girl_rails and launchy. Everything works fine now except these two warnings I'm left with:
Running: spec/requests/sign_ups_spec.rb
DEPRECATION WARNING: :name_prefix was deprecated in the new router syntax. Use :as instead. (called from /Users/xonic/Documents/work/ror.ror.at/config/routes.rb:7)

Well, as long as everything works, I'm ok with the warnings but if anybody knows how to get rid of them, please let me know.
Thanks.

Rails: How to disable turbolinks in Rails 5?

It's a constant headache when dealing with websockets, and it kills my performance in addition to adding bugs. Since ActionCable is the whole reason I upgraded I'd very much like to get rid of it completely.
The following was copied from here. It's for Rails 4, but I believe the steps are the same.
Remove the gem 'turbolinks' line from Gemfile.
Remove the //= require turbolinks from app/assets/javascripts/application.js.
Remove the two "data-turbolinks-track" => true hash key/value pairs from app/views/layouts/application.html.erb.
Edit: As of at least Rails 5 the last step should refer to "data-turbolinks-track" => "reload" as opposed to "data-turbolinks-track" => true. Thanks to #boddhisattva
Edit: As of at least Rails 4.2 you can generate a project without turbolinks to begin with. Just use something like this:
rails new my_app --skip-turbolinks
Removing //= require turbolinks from app/assets/javascripts/application.js seems to have done the trick.
I also removed both turbolinks references in app/views/layouts/application.html.erb
If you are using Webpacker (Rails 5-6)
Delete this line from Gemfile and run bundle:
gem 'turbolinks', '~> 5'
Run yarn remove turbolinks
Delete this line from application pack file app/javascript/packs/application.js:
require("turbolinks").start()
Remove any data-turbolinks data attributes from your html.
Change:
<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'application', media: 'all', 'data-turbolinks-track': 'reload' %>
<%= javascript_pack_tag 'application', 'data-turbolinks-track': 'reload' %>
to
<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'application', media: 'all' %>
<%= javascript_pack_tag 'application' %>
you can also do it when you create your rails application by using;
rails new app name --skip-turbolinks
Completely removing the turbolinks tags from application.html.erb might break CSS and JS. add this lines instead of the turbolinks if no CSS or JS is loaded:
<%= stylesheet_link_tag "application", media: "all" %>
<%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>

Rails carrierwave error

I'm using carrierwave and fog to upload files in my app. I upgraded all my gems and now receive this error wrong number of arguments (2 for 1)
<%= link_to image_tag(listing.image_url(:thumb).to_s,
:class => 'popup-image'),
listing,
:class => 'big-image-link' if listing.image? %>
Any idea what's wrong?
I just reverted back to fog version 1.3 and it worked again.

Rails 3 link_to delete destory method calls show method?

Hey I have seen several posts on this, but I am still having issues with calling :method => 'delete' and getting directed to the show method of my controller. The destroy method is working as expect, in that it deletes the comment, but after the request is done, it throws a 404 on GET. Here is the code:
<%= link_to 'delete', "/events/#{#event.id}/comments/#{comment.id}.js",
:confirm => 'Are you sure?',
:method => :delete,
:remote => true %>
Here is the controller method:
def destroy
#comment = #event.comments.find(params[:id])
#comment.destroy
redirect_to do |format|
format.html # redirect_to #event, :notice => "comment deleted" }
format.js { render 'destroy.js.erb' }
end
end
I've hear that this could be due to not using button_to, but I have tried using button_to as opposed to link_to but this does the same thing.
I've also heard that this could be do to some problems with the way you are using jquery in your set up, but I feel like I doubt that, but here is how I call in jquery just in case (application.html.erb):
<%= javascript_include_tag 'jquery-1.5.2.min.js', 'rails', 'application' %>
<%= javascript_include_tag 'jquery-ui-1.8.17.custom.min.js' %>
When i watch rails server output I see that it's says:
Redirected to http://0.0.0.0:3000/events/1/comments/35
Completed 302 Found in 132ms
ACTION NAME application
Started GET "/events/1/comments/35" for 127.0.0.1 at Wed Feb 08 16:31:43 -0800 2012
AbstractController::ActionNotFound (The action 'show' could not be found for CommentsController):
Thanks for the help!
Rails 3.1 and greater cleans a lot of this up for us...rails.js is gone. Jquery_ujs is part of the gem, but the file should NOT be in your javascript directory:
specifically, my jquery_ujs file was old and still "living" in my assets/javascript directory. It still had .live methods which are deprecated. Delete the file!!
Keep the gem 'jquery-rails', '~> 2.1' # REF: https://github.com/rails/jquery-ujs
Keep the //= require jquery and //= require jquery_ujs and //= require_tree .
In your application.js file
Make sure you update the gem and bundle install to get the latest gem.
If a javascript error is thrown as was the "sneaky" case for me, the rest of link_to js will not work. Now the delete and the confirmation dialog are working fine. An old jquery_ujs was the culprit.
I would make sure you have the proper version of rails.js in your app. rails.js is what now takes care of making sure delete links actually use the delete method, so you may need to update your rails.js file. What version of rails are you running?
It might be an issue with your config/routes.rb file. If an earlier entry in the routes.rb file matches events/:id/comments/:id and points to comments#show, it could cause this error.
format.html might cause it.
Change this line with
format.html { render :nothing => true }

Getting NoMethodError (undefined method `name' for nil:NilClass) when creating a new model in Heroku console

I just did a push to Heroku and tried doing some testing by adding a model through rails_admin. When I did that I got a generic error page. I went into the logs and noticed this message:
NoMethodError (undefined method `name' for nil:NilClass)
I then opened heroku console and tried adding the model manually and received the same message when trying to save.
NoMethodError: undefined method `name' for nil:NilClass
Here is the model:
class Board < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :name, :description
validates :name, :presence => true
validates :description, :presence => true
validates_uniqueness_of :name, :case_sensitive => false
has_many :subjects
scope :hidden, where(:is_hidden => true)
scope :visible, where(:is_hidden => false)
end
Any ideas what might be happening with this - or where to start looking?
I did the migration and was able to see that it recognized the model and it's attributes when working in the console.
Thanks!
After being bitten by this issue twice, I asked heroku support team for the reason why it happens. And they replied:
"after running rake db:migrate, you have to restart your application so it can pick up the schema changes, since the schema info is cached during boot in production mode."
So always remember to restart heroku app by 'heroku restart' after running a new migration.
I'm not sure if there is a delay or something with Heroku when pushing changes out and running db:migrate but after spending a few hours out and about, I came back, ran rake db:migrate again, which appeared to do nothing and then I tried creating the model again and it worked without any problems.
So all seems well now, but I can't tell I just needed to wait longer before testing with Heroku - or whether running the migration again actually did something.

Latest Rails 3: ActionView::Template::Error (couldn't parse YAML at line 105 column 13)

I have recently encountered into a weird problem or Rails 3, possibly ever since the new rubygems 1.5 update. Basically when I deploy my program to nginx with passenger 3.0.2, I have 500 page immediately and problems like this in my production log:
ActionView::Template::Error (couldn't parse YAML at line 105 column 13):
10: </div>
11: <% end %>
12: <div class="field">
13: <%= f.label :name %> <%= f.text_field :name %>
14: </div>
15: <div class="field">
16: <%= f.label :password %> <%= f.password_field :password %>
app/views/sessions/new.html.erb:13:in `block in _app_views_sessions_new_html_erb___4159562374589718885_19217640_4456777064017176818'
app/views/sessions/new.html.erb:5:in `_app_views_sessions_new_html_erb___4159562374589718885_19217640_4456777064017176818'
It looks like it's missing something in the environment and so it can't recognize all of my form_for elements. Basically the page is just a simple login page with 2 fields - name and password. This problem also happens for other pages with forms, but only in production environment. In development environment, it's totally working fine. I have upgraded all my gems to the latest version, including rails 3.0.4, which however looks like not quite related to this problem. I also used to deploy the same thing onto the ubuntu on my VMware BEFORE gem 1.5, everything is still fine now, however there's no turning back for the new deployments.
I have deployed this to 2 machines running latest ubuntu, and both machine have such errors. Nginx and passenger are installed with the standard steps. Obviously with this problem the site can never run. Can anyone provide any bug fix for this? Thanks very much if you could!
PS: the login page I wrote is basically from here:
http://railstutorial.org/chapters/sign-in-sign-out#top
I added the following two lines to the config/boot.rb file and the problem was solved.
require 'yaml'
YAML::ENGINE.yamler= 'syck'
I had the same problem. Actually I only needed the first line:
require 'yaml'
No need to set the YAML::Engine specifically.
For a problems with yaml syntax options like 'View/Show invisibles' in TextMate may be very helpful to locate syntax problems, yaml is very sensitive about it.
In my case I just had to replace all tabs with spaces in all locale files.
Also notice, if you don't have nodes with the same name on same level.
