Is this project still in development?

To get the PDF export button to work on the server I had to:

1. download the stable whhtmltopdf from here
2. install by extracting to /usr/local
3. run sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1 libxrender1

Can't this be done in bundle so that it works automatically? Anyone up for investigating?

There is a way with gem 'wkhtmltopdf-binary', but it installs wkhtmltopdf 0.9, not 0.12. I had bugs with 0.9 with fonts and other random issues, so it won't fly. Are there other methods? Or alternative PDF generators?

Great job with the gem!

Would insights maybe work as a Rails engine as well?...with some extra work.

Thanks,

Hey. Nice job with insights!

I've been fiddling around with insights and I am trying to export my Active Record to the insights.yml file, but i only want to include some models. It would be nice to have a feature like a wildcard or specific taks to select specific Models to be exported.

Thanks and keep up the good work

I'm the maintainer of Helmet. I plan to release the next major version this Sunday, 2020-08-22.

Is there anything I can do to help get this project upgraded to helmet@4?

If you'd like to try out the release candidate now, you can install it with npm install helmet@next. If you'd rather discuss things outside of this issue, feel free to reach out to me another way.

Hope I can be helpful!

Experimenting with Insights on our one of our Rails 4.2 app - when I run rake insights:export I am seeing a lot of failures, with both polymorphic associations, and in places where I'm using the friendly_id and acts_as_taggable (which are themselves using polymorphic associations under the hood).

NoMethodError: undefined method `primary_key' for ActsAsTaggableOn::Taggable:Module

Also see an issue with the closure_tree gem - it creates _hierarchies tables without a primary key, which results in this message:

Unknown primary key for table foo_hierarchies in model FooHierarchy.

It is on the plan the support for multiple databases?

We would love to help on that :)

I followed the commands in the Development section, point 4 of readme.me but I got this error!
What's wrong?
Thank you.

bash ❯ yarn run init
yarn run v1.22.5

Welcome to Insights v0.0.72!

This script will create a folder ".insights", which will be used to store
config data. Please add it to .gitignore if you're running this script
inside a project folder!

Do you wish to setup Insights in "login" mode, requiring authentication to
access the interface or in standalone "loginless" mode, which is practical
only when running in localhost.

Setup Insights in "login" mode? (Y/n): n

The README of the project states:

Similar to Looker and their LookML, insights requires you to define your data model in a file called insights.yml.
You use the insights_export gem to generate this file from your Rails Models. (Adapters for other frameworks coming soon.)

That means we can't just plug insights into our database and start exploring, we need to duplicate the SQL model in YAML first. Wouldn't it be possible to fetch this model automatically from the database?

In Python, SQLAlchemy's automap feature is able to extract that kind of information, is there any Ruby library providing that feature?
