TuneUp bar is Empty

I’ve installed TuneUp for a Rails 2.1 app. Upon restart of the app I see the black TuneUp bar across the top of the page. However, it only contains the FiveRuns logo and the words FiveRuns TuneUp on the left. I have seen a demo of TuneUp and expected to see an area on the right which details how much time was spent in M/V/C, but this data is missing. There’s no text or anything on the right. I’ve looked in tuneup.log and see no errors—I do see a bunch of hits to TuneupController actions, but still no errors. I’m using Firefox 3.0.1 and MacOS X Leopard. The only thing non standard about my Rails app is that it does not use Prototype. I only use jQuery and do not have a noConflict() statement present.
Thanks for your help,
Justin

Hi Justin,
This could be related to Prototype not being in use. We will take a look at this and let you know. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Thanks,

I’m having the same problem, though my application does use prototype. The progress indicator on the right seems to work, but nothing displays thereafter. I have a ton of different javascript and css going on, but even after removing all of it except for the standard default rails stuff (proto + scriptaculous), I have the same issue.
I’ve tested it in both FF 3 and Safari 3 (and Opera 9.5). My application is running 2.1 on Lightspeed WS & MySQL 5. The development server is on my LAN.

anyone?

senihele and jbritten,
I’d like to take a look at the issues you are having. If at all possible, email a zip file of the rails app that is giving you issues to eric@fiveruns.com.
Thanks,

Hey Eric,
Thanks for the offer, but my app’s a commercial app and I can’t just give out the source. I’m happy to help you troubleshoot though …

Look at your server log for your rails app, any exceptions may be logged there. I have this same issue, and my rails app log showed exceptions when it tried to get the tuneup data for display. My issue is that I am using jruby and there are current issues with jruby and tuneup. I do have it working after modifications which I will try to get up on GitHub.

No exceptions logged. I’m not using jRuby. I just updated to TuneUp v. 0.8.13 and still no luck.

I initially had this problem – i had to do 2 things
1. I was using ActionWebService as a gem – i edited the line in tuneup_controller.rb line 19 to say ::ActionController::Base.silence do
2. I was using Globalize which doesn’t seem to be compatible (see This Post). I don’t actually use the view extensions so i commented them all out. You can see if the page that the tuneup bar requests is loading correctly by visiting localhost:3000/tuneup
After that tuneup works great and looks like it will be incredibly useful, if likely to make me a little performance obsessive!

I am also getting an empty bar, however, it is system-wide. I have tried it on many applications including some that don’t use any plugins or other gems. Also, I have tried using both the plugin and the gem with the same results.
I am on OSX 10.5.5, running under Passenger, but it doesn’t work when I start the server with mongrel or webrick, so that shouldn’t be the issue.
Any help would be appreciated!
I am getting this error message each time
(I changed the code a bit so it wouldn’t get deleted from the post):
ActionView::TemplateError (You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.+) on line #5 of Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/fiveruns_tuneup-0.8.16/views/tuneup/_data.html.erb:

etc….
Thanks.

I’ve got the same thing going on with a recent install as zef. Tried it out with a blank app only using a single welcome controller and my error message is identical to zef’s above.

I got a similar error:
TypeError (can’t convert Fixnum into String):
/vendor/plugins/fiveruns_tuneup/rails/../views/tuneup/_data.html.erb:5:in `+’
I changed the line 5 of _data.html.erb to:
<%= link_to trend + tuneup_data.time.to_i.to_s, ’#’ %> ms
(adding the ”.to_s”) and all seems fine now.

smeade, that worked for me too (thanks so much!) – I edited the file in the gem directory and all seems to be working just fine. Perhaps an update to the gem is in order guys?

Yep, smeade’s fix worked for me as well. I running on ruby v1.8.7 and Rails 2.1

I can’t believe this hasn’t been patched yet…
Here’s the fix:
<%= link_to (trend || 0) + tuneup_data.time.to_i, ’#’ %> ms
