Rails: seed data from fixtures

rails

Suppose you want to collect your seed data from your fixtures…

past the following in you db/seeds.rb – file:
Dir.glob('test/fixtures/*.yml').each do |file|
ActiveRecord::Fixtures.create_fixtures("#{Rails.root}/test/fixtures", File.basename(file).split(".").first)
end

Works in my new Rails 3.2.10 environment using ruby 1.9.3

automated patching against SQL Injection Vulnerability in Ruby on Rails (CVE-2012-5664)

FreeBSD, linux, rails, ruby

Suppose you have a server with multiple rubies, rvms, gemsets, etc…

Manually finding and patching all affected activerecord-gems would be pretty cumbersome.

The following script does the job for you:


#!/usr/bin/env ruby

SEARCH_DIR = "/" # by default search the entire filesystem
ACTIVERECORD_GEM_VERSIONS = ['2.3','3.0','3.1','3.2']
PATCHES = {
'2.3' => 'https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=672189',
'3.0' => 'https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=672190',
'3.1' => 'https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=672191',
'3.2' => 'https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=672192',
}

#1. Find all activerecord 2.3.x, 3.0.x, 3.1.x, 3.2.x gems on this machine
gem_paths = {}
puts "Searching for activerecord gems inside #{SEARCH_DIR} ... "
ACTIVERECORD_GEM_VERSIONS.each do |version|
gem_paths[version] = `find #{SEARCH_DIR} -path '*/gems/activerecord*' -name 'activerecord-#{version}.*' -type d`.split("\n")
puts "Found the following activerecord gems for version #{version}:"
puts gem_paths[version]
end

#2. Download the 4 patches here
puts "Downloading the patches ... "
ACTIVERECORD_GEM_VERSIONS.each do |version|
`wget -O patch-#{version}.patch --no-check-certificate #{PATCHES[version]}`
end
puts " ... done"

#3. Apply the patches
ACTIVERECORD_GEM_VERSIONS.each do |version|
gem_paths[version].each do |gem|
puts "--------------------------\nApplying patch for gem #{gem}"
puts `cd '#{gem}'; patch -tN -p2 < '#{File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__))+"/patch-"+version+".patch"}'` end end

This script searches for affected activerecord gems, downloads the required patches and applies them individually.

You might need to run it as root, and it could take a while searching your entire filesystem...
If you know where all your gems are located change the
SEARCH_DIR = "/yougemrepository"

Tested on linux, freebsd

bundle “reinstall”

Uncategorized,

After an OS upgrade you may find several gems broken, usually gems that rely OS dependent components(libraries, etc..)

If you’re using rvm/gemsets and bundler it’s pretty simple to reinstall all gems with their native extensions:

rvm gemset empty gemset-name
bundle install

If bundle install does not work – you may need to install bundler first:

gem i bundler

1. Add the following to your Gemfile
gem 'spree_i18n', :git => 'git://github.com/spree/spree_i18n.git'

2. Insert the following line in you config/application.rb

module Spreee
class Application < Rails::Application ... config.i18n.default_locale = :ro end end

3. bundle install - și gata 🙂

SSL certs from STARTSSL – for nginx

FreeBSD, linux, nginx

Follow all necessary stept until Startssl gives you the ssl.key

openssl rsa -in ssl.key -out ssl.key

Follow further stepts until Startssl gives you the ssl.crt
Download StartSSL’s root CA and class 1 intermediate server CA certificates:
http://www.startssl.com/certs/ca.pem
http://www.startssl.com/certs/sub.class1.server.ca.pem

Now create a unified certificate:

cat ssl.crt sub.class1.server.ca.pem ca.pem > ssl-unified.crt

Upload the files ssl.key and ssl-unified.crt to the server
Do not forget to chmod 600 ssl.key
In your nginx ssl vhost include:

ssl on;
ssl_certificate /path/to/ssl-unified.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /path/to/ssl.key;

scapati de spamul de la mailway

linux, spam, , ,

Un spammer extrem de insistent este mailway.

Cel putin in prezent se foloseste de serviciul de mailing al firmei Adnet Telecom: http://www.facebook.com/AdNetTelecom
In pofida mai multor raportari la abuse@adnettelecom.ro(indicatie a celor de la adnet chiar pe pagina de facebook) spamurile au continuat sa vina.

Deci, daca vrei sa scapi de mailway shit – cel putin pe moment – trebuie sa blochezi rangeul de IPuri al serviciului de mailing care il folosesc.
Din analiza ultimelor catorva zeci de spamuri primite acest range pare a fi: 37.43.130.1/24
