Facing another bug while integration my rails project with twitter using authlogic-oauth and was facing a problem while running my cucumber test. In my step definition file, I was trying to create a simple User object and the error I was getting was as follow: undefined method `params’ for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) Upon further investigation. The [...]

I was trying to run an Authlogic OAuth Twitter example application on my local development machine and kept getting OAuth::Unauthorized (401 Unauthorized) error. Turns out, you have to register your app as a Twitter OAuth client at http://twitter.com/oauth_clients/. If you’re registering your application as web browser, don’t forget to fill in the callback url. When [...]

Recently, I had created a rails app which allows people to login with their Facebook account. Thanks to a few existing gems and plugins, the facebook connect integration was straight forward enough.

Fortunately, there’s this thing called Ruby Version Manager where you easily change between different rails version. I have nothing but praise for the guys who made life easier for us programmers to do our job better [...]

Not in anyway that I’m bashing it but seeing how easy authlogic I couldn’t believe why I didn’t use it sooner. I like it so much that [...]

I tried to update a HTML div elevement wrapping around a table row inside a table. <table> <tr> <td>Pomme</td> </tr> <div id="placeholder"> <tr> <td>SomethingElse</td> </tr> </div> </table> I wasted 1 hour to find out why my ajax calls aren’t updating the right table row. Apparently it’s not valid HTML. The div will always be on [...]
