Rails3 Support about validates_timeliness

[adzap]

That it would. Its on my radar. Can't promise when, but soon as I can.

[spovich]

Yea, I would like to see this too!

Just for grins, I tried it and it kept blowing up on my seeds with
undefined method `generated_methods?' for #Class:0x108185980

Hi Adzap, any update on Rails 3 support? With Rails 3b4, I got the same error with generated_methods? not defined.

[adzap]

I should be able to get to it within the next week. I am working on a Rails 3 project now and it makes it much easier and motivating than trying to do it in isolation.

I've started quick'n'dirty porting, but have to admit that I'm no plugin specialist;-)

Check out the rails3 branch at http://github.com/huerlisi/validates_timeliness

What I've done:

• Implement Railtie to get loaded as plugin
• Update spec_helper to rails 3 and rspec 2
• Updated some deprecated API calls

I'm now down to 19 failing specs. A quick look into those showed, that it won't be easy for me to fix them;-)

I hope this branch helps you by concentrating on the actual validation failures.

Thx for this great plugin, btw!

[adzap]

Thanks for the commits. But I am likely to rewrite the plugin for Rails 3. There are design aspects I am not happy with and it's perfect to time to fix them.

[supertaz]

Out of curiousity, when do you think you'll do this proposed rewrite?

[adzap]

Working on it now. Should be able to push something this week.

[supertaz]

That would be very cool :) Right now the rails 3 branch of the app I was using it in has some important validations commented out...I'd love to get them back in! ;)

[adzap]

I have an active rails3 branch if you want to follow the progress. It is not production ready as it is missing a few features. It does not have the plugin formats facility yet, nor the rigorous handling of invalid values. Use with high caution if you must.

It can't currently distinguish between an invalid parsed value where the attribute value is nil, and a plain nil value. The difference being what is stored as the before_type_cast value which it currently does not support.

[adzap]

If anyone is game you can give the rails3 branch a try. There are few changes in the API and the custom parser is not yet in. Custom error messages must be put in the locale files also.

Let me know if you get any problems.

[huerlisi]

Cool, will take a look in the next few days!

[huerlisi]

Currently testing the rails3 branch. It mostly works, but bears some surprises has some rough edges;-) Good work, anyway!

Shall I file separate issues for each finding, or do you like me to add 'em here as comments?

Will try to add Railtie/Gem support if you're interested.

[adzap]

Please add them as separate issues. I can never remember is users can tag issues or not. If so then tag rails 3. Otherwise I will later.

I will look into the Railtie stuff, thanks anyway. Gem I am keeping until a pre release.

[adzap]

I have released a gem beta version. Check the master branch readme for info. Need to add more info to the upgrade page. Feel free to edit it.

Wiki also explains how to add support to other ORMs.

Add new issues if you find bugs. Closing this one.

Thanks
