Sometimes you need special measures. Not to make Groovy work, but to make your applications or frameworks a little bit more powerful or versatile.

This turns a class name (like LineItem) into a nice string (like "line item") line_item = LineItem.new puts line_item.class.name.underscore.humanize.lowcase #spits out "line item"

EZ drop in backup rake task for your rails projects - works well - 5 - 10 min set up, one rake file and one config file backs up db and any directory's to any number of servers with rsync BSD License or whatever, but it would be cool if you told me your using it 2007 ISS http://industrialstrengthinc.com this is a sample config file and a rake task you can drop into any rails project to do backups, easy to automate. Backs up your specified environment db to activerecord yml files (one per table) and zips them up in a human readable timestamped file syncs that and any other set of arbitrary directory's to any number of arbitrary servers with rsync be sure to set ssh key based logins to run: rake backup also: rake backup:db, rake backup:restoredb (promts for a file created by backup:db), rake backup:push (to push out what u got) note: this uses something like 30 lines of code from some blog site I got it from that I cant recall, yay for that guy, thanks ## example crontab entry: 3 * * * * cd /rails_deployment_dir/current && nice rake backup RAILS_ENV=production >> /rails_deployment_dir/production_backup_system.log ## config file - goes in config/backup.yml production: dirs: - db/backups - public/uploaded_images servers: - name: backup server number 1 host: gridserver.com port: 22 user: [email protected] dir: /home/blah/backups - name: backup server two host: kradradio.com port: 22 user: kraduser dir: /home/kraduser/backups_from_my_rails_proj development: dirs: - db/backups - public/uploaded_images servers: - name: local self host: localhost port: 5222 user: oneman dir: /home/oneman/Documents/development_backup ## rake file lib/tasks/backup.rake desc "Backup Everything Specified in config/backup.yml" task :backup => [ "backup:db", "backup:push"] namespace :backup do RAILS_APPDIR = RAILS_ROOT.sub("/config/..","") def interesting_tables ActiveRecord::Base.connection.tables.sort.reject! do |tbl| ['schema_info', 'sessions', 'public_exceptions'].include?(tbl) end end desc "Push backup to remote server" task :push => [:environment] do FileUtils.chdir(RAILS_APPDIR) backup_config = YAML::load( File.open( 'config/backup.yml' ) )[RAILS_ENV] for server in backup_config["servers"] puts "Backing up #{RAILS_ENV} directorys #{backup_config['dirs'].join(', ')} to #{server['name']}" puts "Time is " + Time.now.rfc2822 + "\n\n" for dir in backup_config["dirs"] local_dir = RAILS_APPDIR + "/" + dir + "/" remote_dir = server['dir'] + "/" + dir.split("/").last + "/" puts "Syncing #{local_dir} to #{server['host']}#{remote_dir}" sh "/usr/bin/rsync -avz -e 'ssh -p#{server['port']} ' #{local_dir} #{server['user']}@#{server['host']}:#{remote_dir}" end puts "Completed backup to #{server['name']}\n\n" end end task :storedb => :environment do backupdir = RAILS_APPDIR + '/db/backup' FileUtils.mkdir_p(backupdir) FileUtils.chdir(backupdir) puts "Dumping database to activerecord yaml files in #{backupdir}" interesting_tables.each do |tbl| klass = tbl.classify.constantize puts "Writing #{tbl}..."

First a simple script for reading non-corruted zipfiles in python: filename = 'foo.zip' import zipfile z = zipfile.ZipFile(filename) for i in z.infolist(): print i.filename, i.file_size z.read('somefile') Next we use 'zip -FF foo.zip' to fix the zipfile, before reading it: filename = 'foo.zip' import zipfile try: z = zipfile.ZipFile(filename) except zipfile.BadZipfile: import commands commands.getoutput('zip -FF '+filename) z = zipfile.ZipFile(filename) for i in z.infolist(): print i.filename, i.file_size try: z.read('somefile') except zipfile.BadZipfile: print 'Bad CRC-32' In short: use 'zip -FF file.zip' to fix the file. It will restore the filelist.
