Problems with FireRuby and scaffolding

Rails
1

I am trying to generate some scaffolding using “ruby script/generate
scaffold order order”. It always fails with the message “uninitialized
constant CHARACTER_SET”. I have an orders table in a Firebird databse
called TARPRILOGISTICS.GDB. The database is in a folder named “database”
in my rails app root folder. I tried FireRuby 0.4 and 0.4.1. My config
file looks like this:

development:
adapter: firebird
database: …/database/TARPRILOGISTICS.GDB
username: sysdba
password: masterkey
charset: UNICODE_FSS
host: localhost

Any solutions to this problem?

Thank you.

Try changing to “character set: UNICODE_FSS” instead of “charset:
UNICODE_FSS”.

It works to me.

development:
adapter: firebird
database: c:\rails\producao\SCF.GDB
host: TOSHIBA-USER
character set: UNICODE_FSS
username: SYSDBA
password: masterkey

hope this help.

No it didn’t work with “character set: UNICODE_FSS”. Now it just ends
with a “FireRuby::FireRubyException” when I run the scaffold.

Juan,

Here’s one of my FB config files:

development:
adapter: firebird
database: mytestdb
host: localhost
username: sysdba
password: masterkey

My DB is on my PC. Have you also setup your aliases.conf file, located
in your Firebird folder? Mine contains the following:

mytestdb = c:\ruby\projects\test\db\mytestdb.fdb

I’m using Firebird 1.5.3, Rails 1.0, Ruby 1.8.2 and FireRuby 0.4.1 - and
everything works fine.

I make it work at last. The solution was to upgrade from Firebird 1.5.2
to 1.5.3. My config file looks like:
development:
adapter: firebird
database:
C:\MyProjects\workspace\TarpriLogRuby\database\TARPRILOGISTICS.GDB
host: localhost
character set: UNICODE_FSS
username: sysdba
password: masterkey

Thanks everyone for all the help!! I really appreciate it! One more
question tho: Is there any way of making the path to the database
relative instead of absolute? I tried “…/database/TARPRILOGISTICS.GDB”
(the database is in the database folder in the web app root folder) but
it did not work. Any suggestions are welcomed.
