I am trying to Implement Gibberish encryption using the following class:
class Encrypt
def initialize()
#cipher = Gibberish::AES.new("Kudzu")
end
def encode(caller)
if((caller.is_a? Account) || (caller.is_a? Atm))
return #cipher.enc("Kumquat")
else
return false
end
end
def decode(caller, key)
if((caller.is_a? Account) || (caller.is_a? Atm))
return #cipher.dec(key)
else
return false
end
end
end
Instantiating using:
$encrypt = Encrypt.new
and calling in my Atm class using:
#key = $encrypt.encode(self)
The error i receive is thus:
undefined method `encode' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
Is there something i'm not understanding about gibberish or some other silly error on my part?
Also in my Account class:
#key = $encrypt.decode(self, $encrypt.encode(self))
$encrypt is ending up nil somehow in your Atm class. Can't be much more helpful without seeing all the code. Keep in mind that Global Variables are Evil (using $variable in ruby) and try to rework your code so you don't need them..

I'm creating a app that sends mass texts using a JSON file with the numbers and names. Every time I test load the app in IRB I get the error:
NameError: undefined local variable or method `data_from_file' for main:Object
from /home/qc/tep/Coding Stuff/Ruby/text app/main.rb:14:in `contacts_from_file'
I understand what the error means, but I don't understand why I'm getting the error, here's the source code:
require 'json'
def sanatize(numbers)
"+1" + number.gsub(/^1|\D/, "")
end
def numbers_from_file
file = open('numbers.json').read
JSON.parse(file)
end
def contacts_from_file
contacts= { }
data_from_file['feed']['entry'].each do |entry|
name = entry['gsx$name']['$t']
number = entry['gsx$number']['$t']
contacts[sanatize(number)] = name
end
contacts
end
def contact_numbers
contacts_from_file.keys
end
def contact_name
contacts_from_file[number]
end
And here's the JSON file:
{
'1**********' => 'Big Bird'
'1**********'} => 'Josh'
}
If anybody could help me and tell me why the data_from_file is "undefined" it would be extremely helpful, thank you ahead of time.
You never define data_from_file, you just try to read from it in the contects_from_file method.
Perhaps you meant numbers_from_file instead of data_from_file?
How do you create a rspec method stub to allow a response from a method that takes in the hash key to return its value?
This is the line I want to test
sub_total = menu.menu_items[item] * quantity
and I'm using this line in rspec as my test stub on a double.
allow(menu).to receive(:menu_items[item]).and_return(2.0)
My env is set up with ruby 2.2.0 and spec 3.1.7
However I keep on getting a
NameError: undefined local variable or method `item'
Ruby code
def place_order(item, quantity, menu)
sub_total = menu.menu_items[item] * quantity
#customer_order << [item, quantity, sub_total]
end
Rspec code
let(:menu) { double :menu }
it "should allow 1 order of beer to placed" do
order = Order.new
allow(menu).to receive(:menu_items[item]).and_return(2.0)
order.place_order(:Beer, 1, 2.0)
expect(order.customer_order).to eq [[:Beer, 1, 2.0]]
end
Failures:
1) Order should allow 1 order of beer to placed
Failure/Error: allow(menu).to receive(:menu_items[item]).and_return(2.0)
NameError:
undefined local variable or method `item' for #<RSpec::ExampleGroups::Order:0x007fbb62917ee8 #__memoized=nil>
# ./spec/order_spec.rb:9:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'
I've tried a number of things but nothing has worked
allow(menu).to receive(:menu_items).and_return(2.0)
allow(menu).to receive(:menu_items).with(item).and_return(2.0)
allow(menu).to receive(:menu_items).with("item").and_return(2.0)
allow(menu).to receive(:menu_items).with([item]).and_return(2.0)
I've run my code in irb and I can see it works but I can't find a way to get my class double to recerive the hash key.
you can do this:
allow(menu.menu_items).to receive(:[]).and_return({Beer: 2.0})
You can also pass an specific item if you need:
allow(menu.menu_items).to receive(:[]).with(1).and_return({Beer: 2.0})
The line menu.menu_items[item] is in reality composed by 3 method calls. [] is a call to the method [] on the Hash returned by menu_items.
I assume menu.menu_items returns a Hash and not an Array, given in the spec item is a Symbol.
That means your stub requires a little bit more work.
allow(menu).to receive(:menu_items).and_return({ Beer: 2.0 })
Also note, the error
undefined local variable or method `item'
is because you were using item in the spec, but item is not defined outside your method.
you're going a little too deep with your stub, think of this instead
allow(menu).to receive(:menu_items).and_return({Beer: 2.0})
Thanks to #SimoneCarletti's answer, I was able to easily stub an instance of PublicActivity. I add this answer only as a more brief (re)statement of the OP's problem and the simplicity of the solution.
Code I want to mimic with a stub:
self.entity = activity.parameters['entity_string']
And the salient parts of the test double:
activity = double('activity') # PublicActivity
allow(activity).to receive(:parameters).and_return({'entity_string' => "some entity name"})
Full code:
class ActivityRenderer
attr_accessor :time
attr_accessor :user
attr_accessor :action
attr_accessor :entity
def initialize(activity)
self.entity = activity.parameters['entity_string']
self.time = activity.updated_at
self.user = User.find(activity.owner_id)
self.action = activity.key
end
end
RSpec.describe ActivityRenderer do
let(:user) { ...factory girl stuff... }
let(:now) { Time.zone.now }
before do
Timecop.freeze
end
it 'provides an activity renderer' do
activity = double('activity') # PublicActivity
allow(activity).to receive(:parameters).and_return({'entity_string' => "some entity name"})
allow(activity).to receive(:updated_at).and_return(now)
allow(activity).to receive(:owner_id).and_return(user._id)
allow(activity).to receive(:key).and_return('some activity?')
ar = ActivityRenderer.new(activity)
expect(ar.user).to eql(user)
expect(ar.time).to eql(now)
expect(ar.action).to eql('some activity?')
expect(ar.entity).to eql("some entity name")
end
end
I'm writing a helper to check if a given class exists.
def safe_constant(constant_sym)
return Object.const_get(constant_sym) if Object.const_defined? constant_sym
end
This works just fine for something like safe_constant(:User)
However, we have a number of objects that are namespaced in modules
safe_constant(:Admin::User) is obviously not a valid symbol. I know I could determine if this exists by doing:
Object.const_get(:Admin).const_get(:User) but before I go writing some kind of split loop drill-down method to get the final constant, is there any standard way to handling this already?
According to Ruby API document, it's possible to get const_defined? and const_get working with namespace string to check and return the class constant. What needs to be done is passing the second argument (inherit) as false, for example:
class User; end
module Admin
class User; end
end
Object.const_defined?('Admin::User', false) # => true
Object.const_get('Admin::User', false) # => Admin::User
PS: const_defined? and const_get do not accept namespaced Symbol and will raise NameError exception, for example:
# namespaced String
Object.const_defined?('Admin::User', false) # => true
# namespaced Symbol
Object.const_defined?(:'Admin::User', false)
# => NameError (wrong constant name Admin::User)
How about something like this?
def safe_constant(constant_sym)
return constant_sym.to_s.constantize if valid_constant? constant_sym.to_s
end
def valid_constant?(const)
const.constantize
return true
rescue NameError
return false
end
I am receiving the following error when running my below ruby script:
s3parse.rb:12:in `block in <class:AccountLog>': undefined method `extract_account_id' for AccountLog:Class (NoMethodError)
I dont think it should be a class method, is there a reason its not taking my method into account?
class AccountLog
attr_accessor :bytes, :account_id, :date
def extract_account_id(line)
line.match(%r{accounts/(\d+)}).captures.join.to_i
end
s3log = File.open('vidcoder.txt').each do |line|
account_log = AccountLog.new
account_log.date = line.match(%r{\[[^:]*}).to_s.delete"[" #need to finish this regex to make it work
account_log.account_id = extract_account_id(line)
account_log.bytes = line.match(%r{^.*\s+HTTP.*\s+-\s+(\d+)\s+}).captures.join.to_i
puts "\n"
puts "The api request on #{account_log.date} was fromm account number #{account_log.account_id} and the bytes were #{account_log.bytes}"
end
end
def extract_account_id will define an instance method.
In the way you call it, you need a class method instead.
Define it like this:
def self.extract_account_id(line)
or, as you already have an AccountLog instance, use it to call extract_account_id:
account_log.account_id = account_log.extract_account_id(line)
Please note that with second way you do not need to alter method definition, just call extract_account_id via account_log instance.
And i guess you would want to put s3log = File... outside class definition.
Or use a constant instead: S3log = ...
Then you'll can access it as AccountLog::S3log
Is there any reason you don't think it should be a class method? You are using it in the context of a class method and that's why it it's saying no such method for class AccountLog.
If you name your method as self.extract_account_id(line) I'm sure it will work.
From what you are trying to do I think this is what you are looking for?
class AccountLog
attr_accessor :bytes, :account_id, :date
def self.extract_account_id(line)
line.match(%r{accounts/(\d+)}).captures.join.to_i
end
end
s3log = File.open('vidcoder.txt').each do |line|
account_log = AccountLog.new
account_log.date = line.match(%r{\[[^:]*}).to_s.delete"[" #need to finish this regex to make it work
account_log.account_id = extract_account_id(line)
account_log.bytes = line.match(%r{^.*\s+HTTP.*\s+-\s+(\d+)\s+}).captures.join.to_i
puts "\n"
puts "The api request on #{account_log.date} was fromm account number #{account_log.account_id} and the bytes were #{account_log.bytes}"
end
While you could take the class method approach, there seems to be a little more going on.
You should put the extraction logic in a method in itself rather than let it hangout in your class. Then outside of the class, have an instance of AccountLog where you can call on the methods for log and account id extraction. At that point you can do something with those values.
Class method or not is a detail we can explore after the class is a bit more clean I think.
I have the 4 node riak setup running on my os x machine. I have the following program -
require 'riak'
class RiakClient < Riak::Client
#attr_accessor :bucket
def initialize(hosts="")
return Riak::Client.new(:nodes => [{:http_port => 8091},{:http_port =>8092},{:http_port=>8093},{:http_port =>8094}])
end
def get_me(bucket, key)
obj = self.bucket(bucket).get(key)
puts obj.data
end
def put_me(bucket, key, data, content_type)
obj=self.bucket(bucket).get_or_new(key)
puts obj.class
obj.content_type=content_type
obj.raw_data=data
obj.store
end
end
if __FILE__ == $0
my_client=RiakClient.new
my_client.put_me("doc", "index.html", "some data goes here", "text/html")
hash=my_client.get_me("doc", "index.html")
end
I am getting the following error
NilClass
riak_client.rb:32:in `put_me': undefined method `content_type=' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
from riak_client.rb:42:in `<main>'
Do I have to import the RiakBucket and RiakObject classes? It seems that the RiakBucket methods cannot be accessed here?
The actual question here is: why does get_or_new return nil?
It's probably because your initialize() method returns a new Riak::Client, but the Riak::Client that is your parent object never gets initialized. Try putting a call to super instead of the return Riak::Client.new in initialize.
Subclassing Riak::Client is a bit dubious here. I would tend to delegate to it instead.
