UserEngine: stack level too deep

Rails
1

Hi,

I’m trying to get the UserEngine running.
I have installed the LoginEngine, added the essential lines to
environment.rb / application.rb and application_helper.rb.
Worked fine.
Then I did the same with the UserEngine and when trying to set up the
db:
rake engine_migrate ENGINE=user
I get:
Migrating engine ‘user_engine’
rake aborted!
stack level too deep

But… the db-tables seem to created right. And I tried:
rake bootstrap
with the same result:
rake aborted!
stack level too deep

Same when I browse to http://localhost:3000/users/list
“Action Controller: Exception caught”
stack level too deep

I’m using EdgeRails on WinXP SP2 PgSQL 8.1

Cheers,
Ean

This is a known problem with Edge Rails - I’m investigating it now.

Hi, James,

I’ve just tried my first steps with engines. There is still a Problem
with EdgeRails. Have you found out anything about it?

Jan

This should get you rolling with edgerails:

if any of the rails developers are reading this - i’ve determined that
ruby-1.8.4 crashes even the most basic rails app in the same way (stack
too
deep). right now all i know is that it’s related to rail’s method of
hacking
const_missing and multiple file loads where those files do
‘alias_method’.

Ok. I could install LoginEngine with GemRails.
But bootstrapping failed with UserEngine.
It did finally work when I changed the type of the omnipotent row from
boolean to int2 in postgres, and added
guest.omnipotent = false and user.omnipotent = false
to the rake task (without, postgres complained because of the not-NULL
contraint violation).

But it still doesn’t work. At first I got “Rails app. failed to start
properly” all the time, after clearing all caches, cookies, tmps and the
engine_files dir in /public, i do now get:

NoMethodError in User#login
You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it!
The error occured while evaluating nil.type_oid

Hmmm…

Hm.

$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-12) [i686-linux]

Never seen this happening.
Strange.

Once we can really, truly see Rails 1.0 a-comin’ round the mountain
(and I get my PhD viva out of the way) I’ll merge the fixes into the
trunk engines plugin, plus make the swathe of bugfixes that Nathaniel
has been uncovering with PostgreSQL…

ruby -v
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-01) [i386-cygwin]

no problems.
