ruby-on-rails-3.1

I have a relatively small piece of initializer code that I want to run whenever rails server runs, but not when I run rails generate , rails console or any other rails command (including rake tasks that require the environment task). This piece of code pre-fills some caches and is relatively expensive so I really don't want it to run on anything but rails s Solutions that are unsatisfactory: Foreman et al. will mean it'll run on a different process which is (a) over the top for that small piece of code, (b) requires interprocess communication instead of the simple in-memory approach afforded

I am using the assets pipeline (in Rails 3.1.3) and am kind of struggling to make it work in production. Situation In my /app/assets/stylesheets directory I have the following files: application.css --> this is the default rails one stylesheet.css --> This is my custom stylesheet I spent a lot of time getting my stylesheet.css included in the /public/assets/ directory in production (by running rake assets:precompile ) and I finally made it by adding the following line into in my application.rb file: config.assets.precompile += ['stylesheet.css'] I know have the right precompiled stylesheet.css

Presently I'm running a Rails 3.1.x app atop Heroku Celadon Cedar and it seems that log verbosity is very much lacking. I have set the log level to DEBUG a la heroku config:add LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG --app app_name , which matched up to their recommendation, however beyond that I cannot seem to pull in the log/* file contents. Changing from Thin to Unicorn did increase verbosity slightly, but only in web worker requests. I still cannot pull down the db requests and so forth. What is the best way to maximize log verbosity via the heroku "drain" mechanism so that one can pull all instance logs into one

In routes i have the root-path pointing "home#index" but when i try to override that with after_sign_up_path_for keeps redirecting me to the root path when I sign in or sign up. I have tried to put it in both in devise subclassed controller and application_controller, but it didn't work. What do I need to do here? Application controller class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base protect_from_forgery def after_sign_up_path_for(resource) show_cities_path(resource) end end registration controller class RegistrationsController < ApplicationController def after_sign_up_path_for(resource)

how to use curl on ruby on rails? Like this one curl -d 'params1[name]=name&params2[email]' 'http://mydomain.com/file.json' Just in case you don't know, it requires 'net/http' require 'net/http' uri = URI.parse("http://example.org") # Shortcut #response = Net::HTTP.post_form(uri, {"user[name]" => "testusername", "user[email]" => "testemail@yahoo.com"}) # Full control http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port) request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri.request_uri) request.set_form_data({"user[name]" => "testusername", "user[email]" => "testemail@yahoo.com"}) response = http.request(request) render :json
