Using Solr search engine with Sunspot gem in Rails app

Sunspot - Sunspot is a Ruby library for interaction with the Solr search engine.

The goal: Upload several files (virtually big files) to a Rails application without compromising the user experience.

jQuery File Upload + Nginx + Rails (Carrierwave) + Sidekiq

	def get_last_modified(dir)

	# make sure the files to be checked are in the provided directory
	files = Dir.new(dir).select { \|file\| file!= '.' && file!='..' }

	# make sure the file has been written to
	return nil if (files.size < 1)

	# create an array of all the files
	files = files.collect { \|file\| File.join(dir , file) }

	#/usr/bin/bash
	# extract images from pdf at first-hand
	#prefix=pict
	#echo extract images from "$1"
	#pdfimages -j "$1" $prefix
	# IMAGES ARE SAVED SECVENTIALLY AS IMAGE AND THE NEXT IS A MASK IMAGE !!!!
	declare -a files=($(ls .ppm .pbm))
	mask=
	image=
	for (( i = 0; i < ${#files[*]}; i = i + 2 ))

	class PurchaseApprover
	# Implements the chain of responsibility pattern. Does not know anything
	# about the approval process, merely whether the current handler can approve
	# the request, or must pass it to a successor.
	attr_reader :successor

	def initialize successor
	@successor = successor
	end

	The idea here is that I have a single User login that can eventually be tied to multiple Companies via the Role.

	You signup via Devise on the custom /register route and fillout the Company information etc. The custom registration controller creates the Role during the user creation and sets a few other attributes.

	It all worked but now it's broken and I have no idea what I did to break it.

	When I try to create a new user / company the additional user fields (name_first & name_last) always fail validation regardless if they are in fact valid. The nested Company fields do not validate at all. If I enter the email and password field only the form works but only creates the User record.

	To me it seems like the custom registration controller is not being processed at all.

	# Do 'gem install redcarpet'
	# Usage:
	# ruby test.rb > test.html
	#

	require 'slim'

	s = File::open('markdown.html.slim').read()

	=================================
	def slow(&block)
	block.call
	end

	def slow
	Proc.new.call
	end

	- The below one is 5 times faster then above, in execution

	def self.uniq! queue_name
	seen_already = Set.new
	Sidekiq::Queue.new(queue_name).each { \|job\|
	key = { job.klass => job.args }
	key.in?(seen_already) ? job.delete : seen_already << key
	}
	end
