I was following along Lucas's rubycookbook receipe 15.1 for creating a
ROR application for displaying the o/p of dir command on a windows
machine onoto a browser.
my application is named "check" instead of "status" as given in
receipe.
my C:/Documents and
Settings/ri004902/check/app/controllers/check_controller.rb .. file
looks as
........................................................
class CheckController < ApplicationController
def index
time = Time.now @time = time @dr = exec "dir/p"
end
end
......................................
and my C:\Documents and
Settings\ri004902\check\app\views\check\index.rhtml .. file is
...............................................................
<h1>Directory structure at <%= @time %></h1>
<p><%= @dr %></p>
.....................................................
This could be irrelevant - I'm on Mac OS X, and there is no "dir"
command there - but OMM the example as printed doesn't work either,
because the single-quotes in the original should be backticks. The
recipe has:
@ps = 'ps aux'
But it should be:
@ps = `ps aux`
Perhaps you should try `dir/p` (whatever that may be) instead of using
exec? Just a guess... m.

Oh .. i thought that was right..now i tried with
class CheckController < ApplicationController
def index
time = Time.now @time = time @dr = ` dir `
end
end
... but in vain still that " Application error (Rails)" is bugging me.
any lead?
btw .. what is the best way to debug rails application
thanks
