Another NoMethodError - trackbacks this time

Ruby Apps Typo

Here’s another strange NoMethodError from my production log.
Strangely this seems to be catching because of trackbacks. I never
have trackbacks enabled because in my opinion they’re only of use to
spammers.

Doesn’t seem to be trashing fcgi, but … err … I haven’t a clue
what it’s impact is.

Huh, there’s actually a bug in the code there. Apparently we don’t
have a test for that action. I’ll write a test, then fix the bug.

Ok, fixed in r996. There was actually several problems with receiving
trackback pings and this has been fixed. There’s also now a test for it.

Cheers Kevin, I’m pulling down r996 now

There wasn’t a ticket for this Kevin, but I can confirm there’s no
errors now.

For theme developers, it’s worth remembering that you need to change
the RDF description … line 10(ish) in /views/articles/read.rhtml if
you have:

 dc:description="<%=h strip_html(@article.body_html[0..255]).gsub

(/-+/, ‘-’) %>"

to

 dc:description="<%=h strip_html(article_html(@article)

[0…255]).gsub(/-+/, ‘-’) %>"

or it’ll throw out errors.
