I''m accustomed to making plugins for Rails 2, and recently updated
those
for Rails 3 (minor differences in structure). Spent most of this week
figuring out how to make most of those gems.
One of them I am having trouble with -- this one involves an /app
directory with some helpers and some views. It has worked great as a
Rails2 and even Rails3 plugin. As a gem, I can''t seem to get Rails to
see the files in /app.
I''ve been using jeweler. I don''t use git, so I have been
manually
specifying files like this:
Jeweler::Tasks.new do |gem|
#....
gem.files.include(''app/**/*.rb'')
gem.files.include(''lib/**/*.rb'')
#....
end
That''s apparently not enough. The code in the gem works until the main
app hits something needed from the gem''s /app folder.
I''m missing something. Googling and trial & error are failing me.
What clue say ye? Thx.

Devise ( http://github.com/plataformatec/devise/ ) adds some views, controllers and helpers so you can look at the code. Maybe you are missing the fact that you need Rails::Engine ? http://github.com/plataformatec/devise/blob/master/lib/devise/rails.rb I think that Yehuda Katz has a post about it.

Interesting that it doesn''t use the same pattern as all the blog posts I can find use (re: engines.rb file).

Greg, I have a working example that covers a bunch of gem features, it might help you: http://keithschacht.com/creating-a-rails-3-engine-plugin-gem/ On Sep 29, 11:20 pm, Greg Willits <li...-fsXkhYbjdPsEEoCn2XhGlw@public.gmane.org> wrote:> I''m accustomed to making plugins for Rails 2, and recently updated those > for Rails 3 (minor differences in structure).

Keith, I''ve been using your example (thanks) and about a half dozen articles, but still running into problems having the contents in the /app folder get included using this: Jeweler::Tasks.new do |gem| #.... gem.files.include(''app/**/*.rb'') gem.files.include(''lib/**/*.rb'') #.... end I''ve converted almost a dozen of my plugins to gems (so I seem to have that pattern at least emulated well (if not yet fully understood)), and now need two engines. I have one sort of working. The basics all work, so I have the engine.rb part worked out, but it is still missing some /app folder content after I create the gem. I think I just spotted a pattern. In this line, gem.files.include(''app/**/*.rb'') I am not familiar with /**/ but I''m now seeing that in the /app folder, a layout like this: So, /app /models model1.rb /views /red_stuff red1.rb.rb /blue_stuff blue1.rb.rb in my installed gem I see /models but not /views -- and I think that''s because /views doesn''t have any .rb files in it. So, I think the root of the problems I''m seeing is understanding the files.include() part of jeweler to get what I need (Note: I am not using git). Looking at the ruby gems docs, I don''t see any examples of files.include -- so it''s still confusing as to which of these settings commands use gem syntax and which uses jeweler syntax. -- gw -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

What a moron. gem.files.include(''app/**/*.rb'') There are no .rb files in /views! gem.files.include(''app/**/*.rb'') gem.files.include(''app/**/*.erb'') catches them.

Ah, I didn''t catch that in your post either. Glad to see you figured it out!
