The Shoebox. A place for lil' apps to live in peace and harmony.

This is a really basic utility that you can use with a Rails application. It just shows all your ActiveRecord models, letting you can navigate through each one. No editing yet.

Please consider that this loads your entire Rails environment, so it takes a while to load up and there are probably cooler things we can do with this rather than just view our models ^ o ^

Instructions:

  • Save in app directory to “script/active_record_in_shoes”
  • chmod +x script/active_record_in_shoes
  • ./script/active_record_in_shoes

Slappy?

Yes. This is cool. It would be so cool if it could modify, backup, and even, say export a sqlite3 database to mysql…

I carried out the instructions, but I get the following error message in return:

Error in /Applications/Shoes.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/shoes.rb line 351 wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)

Any thoughts?

I get an error “no such file to load: soap/rpc/driver”
Is it some gem missing or something?

How do I use this?
