Edge Rails: Array#random_element
May 24th
Array#rand is deprecated in favor of Array#random_element and will be removed in Rails 3.
As per the comment added to the commit:
Array#rand is deprecated because it masks Kernel#rand within the Array class itself, which may be used by a 3rd party library extending Array in turn. See https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994-ruby-on-rails/tickets/4555

Download recursive directories with wget using Username & Password for FTP
Apr 26th
Using ftp to download multiple files using ‘mget’ command is pretty common, however it downloads files from current directory only. But if you need to download recursive directories with all its content then? And specially when you don’t have shell access to the remote machine and you don’t have access to archive the targeted folder?
In such situation you can use ‘wget’ to download all recursive directories by providing your ftp details. For example:
wget -rc --user='ftpusername' --password='ftppassword' ftp://domain.com/directory_path/
uninitialized constant ActionMailer::Quoting::Encoding
Apr 13th
Just a quick note, If you are getting “uninitialized constant ActionMailer::Quoting::Encoding” while using ActionMailer, then make sure that your mailer look like:
class Notifier < ActionMailer::Base
def signup_notification(recipient)
recipients recipient.email_address_with_name
bcc ["bcc@example.com"]
from "system@example.com"
subject "New account information"
body :account => recipient
end
end
Actually, yesterday we were getting “uninitialized constant ActionMailer::Quoting::Encoding” while using ActionMailer in production but it was working fine in all modes(development/production) on localhost. Our mailer was like:
class Notifier < ActionMailer::Base
def signup_notification(recipient)
@recipients = recipient.email_address_with_name
@bcc = ["bcc@example.com"]
@from = "system@example.com"
@subject = "New account information"
@body = :account => recipient
end
end
We could not find the actual issue with this mailer. But the above said error was disappeared when we changed the same mailer as following:
class Notifier < ActionMailer::Base
def signup_notification(recipient)
recipients recipient.email_address_with_name
bcc ["bcc@example.com"]
from "system@example.com"
subject "New account information"
body :account => recipient
end
end
Do you guys have any idea? I would love to listen from you.
Update: No its not solved yet. Still same issue. May be some issue with character encoding with the TMail object.
Update 2: This was the issue http://github.com/hmcgowan/roo/issues#issue/4/comment/106328
