Suggested workaround for Rails mongoid gem users?

[Russell Whitaker]

My stack:

rails (3.2.13)

axlsx (1.3.6)

axlsx_rails (0.1.4)

mongoid (3.1.4)

'axlsx_rails' is declared in the Gemfile.

What I want to do:

  def export

    @report = @website.reports.find(params[:report_id]) 

    

    respond_to do |format|

      format.xlsx { render xlsx: @report }

    end

  end

A failing test which tries to do this thing:

1) ReportsController GET #export.xlsx

     Failure/Error: get :export, website_id: website._id, report_id: report._id, format: :xlsx

     NoMethodError:

       undefined method `sub!' for #<Report:0x007f857e1f95b8>

     # ./app/controllers/reports_controller.rb:50:in `block (2 levels) in export'

     # ./app/controllers/reports_controller.rb:49:in `export'

     # ./spec/controllers/reports_controller_spec.rb:97:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'

I am not using ActiveRecord on my models, I'm using Mongoid (mongodb sits underneath it all.)

I am aware from some hours spent RTFM'ing the docs and this mailing list and StackOverflow and a close

reading of the source that these libs assume ActiveRecord. What I'm wondering is if anyone else 

has tried axlsx and axlsx_rails and/or acts_as_xlsx in a Mongoid context and gotten any of it

to work for them. I'm figuring some have tried, but silently given up. 

Anyone?

I have tried, unsuccessfully the last few days at different times - assuming Randy Morgan is back 

in Japan - to raise someone on irc as per the github repo README, but there seems to be no such 

channel recently on irc.freenode.net.

Any insight/help at all would be *greatly* appreciated.

Thanks, Russell
