I’ve just released a new version of Sashimi (0.2.1), it fixes a bug for Ubuntu.

The Problem

When the script starts tries to load repository concerned classes: GitRepository and SvnRepository, which are subclasses of AbstractRepository. In repositories.rb I use Dir#[] to load all the .rb files in a certain directory, but the order of the resulting array is unpredictable, so if the first class was not AbstractRepository Sashimi was crashing.

The Solution

I’ve fixed it, so, if you have experienced this problem, please update Sashimi with:
$ (sudo) gem update sashimi

cached_models provides to your models a transparent approach to use Rails internal cache mechanism.

Usually, when you decide to use cache for your ActiveRecord results, you have to manually implement complex expiring policies. cached_models simplifies your code:
class Author true end

class Post true end

That’s all!!.

A more complex example..
class Project true

has_many :tickets, :cached => true has_many :recent_tickets, :limit => 5, :order => ‘id DESC’, :cached => true end
