You called render with invalid options : Edge Rails and RSpec

If you’re developing in edge rails and get an error like this when running controller specs:

You called render with invalid options : { :some_action }, nil

The way to remedy is simple enough and can be found here: http://rspec.rubyforge.org/documentation/rails/install.html

Or you can take my word for it and run these two pretty little lines:

ruby script/plugin install -x svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/trunk/rspec --force
ruby script/plugin install -x svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/trunk/rspec_on_rails --force

I’m not sure if it was necessary or not, but I re-ran this command after the above two lines:

ruby script/generate rspec

Everything works like a charm now.

I also posted some other goodies on there… browse around. 

Time Changes Things...

It’s finding ways to make time pass that’s not easy

Of course I spend so much of my time just making time pass

That by the time i’m ok

There may not be much of it left

FYI Dreamhost + Rails

Dreamhost has upgraded to Rails version 2.0.2.

If your app (or rails site) has broken recently, that’s might be why. Check to make sure you don’t have any

@params[:bloody_hell]

in your controllers (which is old stuff, too.)

 If you’re having any other weird issues, drop me a line at joshnabbottATmacDOTcom and I may be able to shed some light on the problems.

Lots of love, Josh

Why I don't heart IE

It’s simple. Because IE doesn’t do anything the same as other browsers.

Microsoft Team:

Please fix.
