I'm trying various ways to implement pretty graphs in my app. I followed http://pullmonkey.com/projects/open_flash_chart2 steps in my app, but instead of creating test_it, I just added to my own controller. In my routes.rb, I have
resources :my_controller_name do
collection do
get 'graph_code'
end
end
also, since I don't think it could find the action my_controller_name/graph_code otherwise (I'm kind of confused as to why most tutorials leave the routes part out? Am I doing something wrong?). (I also used #graph.html_safe in my views for Rails 3)
Anyway when I go to /my_controller_name, I get the error in the flash box:
Open Flash Chart
JSON Parse Error [Syntax Error]
Error at character 0, line 1:
0: #<OpenFlashChart::OpenFlashChart:0x000001043c4b78
I don't know why this is happening. I tried creating a new app and following the guide, generating a controller named test_it. It worked (provided I corrected the routing). I can't think of how my controller is any different than test_it, except I initially generated it using a rails scaffold (so it has all the MVC parts), whereas I only generated the test_it controller. (I've also tried using/not using the json gem conflict fix, but it didn't make a difference--https://github.com/klochner/open_flash_chart/commit/00cf531387880af8c49ed5118737f0492b437f75) Thanks for any insight, I'm stumped as to why it's easy to implement on a new app but I can't add it to mine...
Thanks.
Nevermind, it seems to work if I use the old lib/base.rb instead of the json gem fix. Ah well.
Don't waste your time with Flash based charting libraries. Highcharts is definitely the way go to. It works in pretty much any browser, including those that don't support Flash. Much better performance on OS X than Flash will ever provide.

Chrome has been making a lot of changes recently, and one of them has broken a code statement I use to retrieve a document stored in a database, related to a parent record. The action to upload the file and create the attachment relationship is working, so my users can still add documents. They can no longer download and view stored document attachments. The code is using the link_to helper method, and appears to be building the link correctly, verified by the fact that it still works using Edge, so my users have an ugly workaround, but I need to understand what is happening. I have confirmed that it is indeed Chrome that is the problem, because at first I couldn't recreate the defect in development (until I updated my Chrome browser to current version.) Now I can recreate the defect in my development environment.
When the link in my form is clicked, Chrome displays an error screen with this text:
This page isn't working
(*localhost*) sent an invalid response
net::ERR_RESPONSE_HEADERS_MULTIPLE_CONTENT_DISPOSITION
If I extract the link using developer tools and try and execute it in an empty browser window, I get the same error.
The link is constructed like this:
(*name of the file attachment*)
Before you ask, yes, I have confirmed there are no commas or quotes in my file names! lol
I am hoping someone somewhere can point me to a solution, hopefully simple, maybe obvious, that I can use to get my web form to play nicely with Chrome again - application code change, web server configuration (I am running on RHEL7 Apache in production and Puma in development, my database is Oracle, and I am building with Ruby 2.3.6 and Rails 5.1.5, along with many many gems).
I hope I have covered all the relevant points. Thank you for taking the time to read this post!
Issue has been resolved by upgrading gem attach to version >= 1.0.5. Many thanks to the gem author for excellent responsiveness.
I'm building a ruby on rails application with most of the views with react. I'm considering using CodeMirror as an editor for users to type in code. I want them to be able to submit the code, and the code will be run through some of my test cases and get results back, similar to how codecademy works.
What are some initial steps to achieve this?
Thank you!
Have a look at the http://reactrb.org site. There is live code editors on there. Source code for the doc site is on github.
If the code examples are in either ruby or JS you can run the test scripts in the browser (for ruby you will use opal-rspec) This makes sandboxing easy.
Sounds like a great project. If you need additional questions or help stop in at https://gitter.im/zetachang/react.rb There are a couple of people there who can help you out with the details.
I am relatively new to web dev and I am trying to set up the ruby on rails gem ga_events (https://github.com/Nix-wie-weg/ga_events). I am doing this because I need to have google analytics event tracking within controllers and this gem seems like a good way to do it. The issue I am having is where the readme says, "After requiring ga_events.js, you have to choose an adapter." I am using Google Universal Analytics and thus I would like to choose that one. It doesn't say specifically how to do this. Where do I put that code block (https://github.com/Nix-wie-weg/ga_events#google-universal-analytics-analyticsjs)? Do I need to make a new file somewhere?
I'm assuming it's obvious for a more experienced developer. More detailed instructions+explanation would be really helpful. Thanks.
I'm using Rails 4.0.13 and Ruby 2.0.0p643.
I was having the same issue here! Turns out, it is just javascript code.
I put mine under application.js since it's a code that need to be on every page.
I downloaded a devise example and got it working. When trying to edit a controller app/controllers/api/v1/sessions_controller.rb and test it, any changes I make are not recognized by rails.
Neither syntax errors nor legit ruby code have any effect on the app's behavior. The only source file I can successfully edit is app/controllers/application_controller.rb.
I am coming back to rails after a few years away and have never seen this behavior. Is there a controller cache, a pre-compiled module, or some other known issue causing this?
Thanks, in advance.
EDIT:
This problem has been avoided in my code. Answers are still welcome to get the gist of the explanation to the problem.
I am trying to solve a strange issue with ferret/acts_as_ferret
Of course I have googled and posted the question:
http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/188570
Basically aaf works on single models with no issue. It also works on single models using the config/aaf.rb file I have setup. It even works when I do a multi-model search in the console, but within the rails app itself I get:
undefined method `ferret_rank=' for <object that has a match>
If anyone has had the same experience/problem and can shed any light I would appreciate it.
PS: I followed the following tutorial to get where I am now.
http://opensoul.org/2008/4/29/using-shared-indexes-with-acts_as_ferret
Do you have the plugin installed or just the gem? You might want to install the plugin.
I would also try rebuilding the index.
For my purposes, I switched to Solr and life is a lot easier. Sphinx is missing a lot of stuff that I need.
