My Big List of Ruby on Rails Findings

This is a post that I’ll be updating as I discover more solutions to problems that I encounter while learning Rails.  Some of these observations are probably really dumb, but if I had them, most likely someone else did, too.

  • Bringing in all that nice text fixture data into your development database so you can actually test the UI: http://www.railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?pid=54306
  • Dealing with PostgreSQL foreign key errors when loading in fixtures using rake db:load:fixtures (hint: make your user a Superuser): http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/140666
  • Yes, render :partial does work on layouts
