I'm pretty sure that the problem is due to the fact that this gem looks to be 3-4 years old and rails has changed how we do migrations. But I'm not too familiar with gems/generators. I'm trying to follow the instructions to do the instructions listed here.
rails g my_zipcode_gem:models
rake db:migrate
rake zipcodes:update
However, when I do the first step I end up getting this:

Any idea what I need to do to get that gem working? It provides exactly what I'm looking for in my app.
Thanks!
Edit: Adding the generation code:
module MyZipcodeGem
class ModelsGenerator < Base
include Rails::Generators::Migration
source_root File.expand_path('../templates', __FILE__)
def initialize(*args, &block)
super
end
def generate_models
# puts ">>> generate_zipcodes:"
end
def add_gems
add_gem "mocha", :group => :test
end
def create_models
template 'zipcode_model.rb', "app/models/zipcode.rb"
template 'county_model.rb', "app/models/county.rb"
template 'state_model.rb', "app/models/state.rb"
end
# Implement the required interface for Rails::Generators::Migration.

end
end

It looks like it is calling the migration using parameters that are no longer expected. You have two options:
1) fork the code, update it to use rails 4 conventions, and create a pull request on github. Assuming the owner is still active they will bring your code into the master and republish the gem. You would have help support the community and feel good about it in the process. There are plenty on here like myself who can help you with this.
2) Find another gem to do what you want, such as http://www.rubygeocoder.com/ which I've used several times and is awesome at doing location/zipcode problems
I'm stuck in a really weird issue. I recently updated from rails 4.1 to 4.2. In 4.1 everything worked fine. But now, in 4.2, it seems model concern content is beig ignored, even if the concern is found.
Putting it simple. I have a Client model which belongs to an Address, relationship that is defined in an Addressable concern:
app/models/client.rb
class Client < ActiveRecord::Base
include Addressable
end
app/models/address.rb
class Address < ActiveRecord::Base
end
app/models/concerns/addressable.rb
module Addressable
extend ActiveSupport::Concern
included do
belongs_to :address
end
No problem in development environment. I can do Client.new.address without problems. But in test environment that same line gives me an unknow method address error. If I move belongs_to :address to Client then it works again. The module is being included, because there is no error about this, and if I change the name to Adressabledewdewded then, of course, there is an error.
Same happens with validation methods, etc.
I have been debugging this but I don't find the root. I have copied my development.rb as test.rb and restarted the server but still. I can't reproduce this in a freshly new Rails 4.2 application, so it has to have something to do with my application or the updating process, but no idea where.
Anyone has a clue?
Thanks
UPDATE
This is the stack trace on doing Client.new.address in the console in test environment (in development it works):

Result of Client.ancestors in both environments is (without the only difference of instance identity, of course):
=> [Client (call 'Client.connection' to establish a connection), Trader, Addressable, Kaminari::ConfigurationMethods, Kaminari::ActiveRecordModelExtension, Client::GeneratedAssociationMethods, #<#<Class:0xba3b1c70>:0xba3b1d24>, ActiveRecord::Base, Kaminari::ActiveRecordExtension, GlobalID::Identification, ActiveRecord::Store, ActiveRecord::Serialization, ActiveModel::Serializers::Xml, ActiveModel::Serializers::JSON, ActiveModel::Serialization, ActiveRecord::Reflection, ActiveRecord::NoTouching, ActiveRecord::Transactions, ActiveRecord::Aggregations, ActiveRecord::NestedAttributes, ActiveRecord::AutosaveAssociation, ActiveModel::SecurePassword, ActiveRecord::Associations, ActiveRecord::Timestamp, ActiveModel::Validations::Callbacks, ActiveRecord::Callbacks, ActiveRecord::AttributeMethods::Serialization, ActiveRecord::AttributeMethods::Dirty, ActiveModel::Dirty, ActiveRecord::AttributeMethods::TimeZoneConversion, ActiveRecord::AttributeMethods::PrimaryKey, ActiveRecord::AttributeMethods::Query, ActiveRecord::AttributeMethods::BeforeTypeCast, ActiveRecord::AttributeMethods::Write, ActiveRecord::AttributeMethods::Read, ActiveRecord::Base::GeneratedAssociationMethods, #<#<Class:0xb8df1c14>:0xb8df1c50>, ActiveRecord::AttributeMethods, ActiveModel::AttributeMethods, ActiveRecord::Locking::Pessimistic, ActiveRecord::Locking::Optimistic, ActiveRecord::AttributeDecorators, ActiveRecord::Attributes, ActiveRecord::CounterCache, ActiveRecord::Validations, ActiveModel::Validations::HelperMethods, ActiveSupport::Callbacks, ActiveModel::Validations, ActiveRecord::Integration, ActiveModel::Conversion, ActiveRecord::AttributeAssignment, ActiveModel::ForbiddenAttributesProtection, ActiveRecord::Sanitization, ActiveRecord::Scoping::Named, ActiveRecord::Scoping::Default, ActiveRecord::Scoping, ActiveRecord::Inheritance, ActiveRecord::ModelSchema, ActiveRecord::ReadonlyAttributes, ActiveRecord::Persistence, ActiveRecord::Core, Object, PP::ObjectMixin, ActiveSupport::Dependencies::Loadable, JSON::Ext::Generator::GeneratorMethods::Object, Kernel, BasicObject]
And doing Client.reflections.keys makes address to appear in development but not in test.
I got it. The thing is that a gem that is present only in my test environment (json-schema), has addressable gem as a dependency, which is defining an Addressable module. When Rails tries to autoload Addressable it finds the class defined by addressable instead of my concern class. The module is being included but it is not the one I thought.
When updating my Gemfile, json-schema has been updated and now depends on addresable, since November 2014.
Hard one to catch :)
I am building a rails applications, where in a part of it, I save to the database, payments information. I need to make these payments un-deleteable.
I have created a before_destroy function that kinda works.. but I am having an issue:
here is my code:
class StripePayment < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
belongs_to :stripe_card
before_destroy :fail
private
def fail
return false
end
end
When I create a payment and try out my code when delete:
StripePayment.first.destroy returns false and rollback... Which is exactly what I want.
However,
StripePayment.first.delete passes and deletes the object.
I know the deference between delete and destroy. however, I want to be able to prevent this object from being deleted on the DB (on both delete() and destroy() calls.
I tried before_delete and rails gave me back this error:
NoMethodError: undefined method `before_delete' for #<Class:0x007fc1abc37c50>

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks :)
The easiest way is, to define your own delete method
class StripePayment < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
belongs_to :stripe_card
before_destroy :fail
def delete
false
end
private
def fail
return false
end
end
If you have conditions, where you want to allow deleteion, you can check for it iy your delete method and call super
that's because delete is one of the functions that skips callbacks in rails
check this out for more info on the subject http://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/active_record_callbacks.html#skipping-callbacks
After installing rvm, ruby and rails i write same code validation in my model
class Item < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :name, :description, :price, :weight
validates :price, :weight, numericality: {greater_than: 0} , presence: true
end
But when i start rails console and print
tem1 = Item.create(name: "d", price: 0, weight: 1)
I have error

Read your error carefully:
undefined method `validates'
It looks like you have some strange Unicode character in there before validates, that you need to remove.
Also got similar type of unknown method error even though i never used that method when
starting rails server.
This may be due to some words added by mistake in the controller or model class files.check your app to see whether the word "validates" has been added somewhere unknowingly especially before and after class definitions.
I'm trying to use some validation only if a specific method in my controller is being called:
validates_presence_of :reasons, :on => :update_description
However I get this error:
TypeError in RegistrationsController#create
nil is not a symbol

Am I going about this the wrong way? Basically I have a multi-page form and I've broken up the pages into multiple update methods which they submit. In this case I'm updating the registration object using a method I've defined called update_description. I only want the validation to occur when this method is called. Possible?
Update:
Adding error line:
def create
#registration = Registration.new(params[:registration]) //error is here
[nav logic]
end
The :on parameter specifies when this validation is active (default is :save, other options :create, :update). This is relative to the model, not the controller.
It looks like you want a wizard plugin. The two that I know of are:
acts_as_wizard
wizardly
Hopefully these should get you started.
