Or to phrase it another way:
While developing in a distributed (multi-developer) environment,
how do you keep settings local to your own system out of the svn
repository?
e.g, in config/environment.rb, you want to have an entry like
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = { :address =>
"smtp.example.com", ...
In a Java environment you''d have a build.properties file that would
substitute in your appropriate values; what''s the Rails way here?
TIA,

But it''s not just stuff in that one file. For example, there''s a reference to "@host" in user_mailer.rb (restful_authentication) that needs to be configured for each developer. @body[:url] = "http://#{@host}/activate/#{user.activation_code}" Are you saying then that @host and any other desktop-local variables anywhere should be set in environments/development.rb? -- Hassan Schroeder ------------------------ hassan.schroeder-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Obviously this isn''t so great if your going to have different ones for each developer (which isn''t something I''ve needed) Fred> > > -- > Hassan Schroeder ------------------------ hassan.schroeder-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org > > >--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Everyone will still have the same version of config/environment.rb but can have drastically different environments based on their own user settings. hth ilan -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Our teams leverage an approach wherein we load data from config.yml. In config,yml, we store all of our settings and ignore that in SVN. This config file is structured just like the database.yml file, but it contains every setting that could change, from authorize.net keys for cc processing to what type of email system to use (sendmail, smtp, etc). We then just load those into a hash stored in a constant in environment.rb We can then use capistrano to build that file on the servers when we deploy it :) On Jan 21, 2008 12:13 PM, Hassan Schroeder <hassan.schroeder-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > On Jan 21, 2008 9:01 AM, Ilan Berci <rails-mailing-list-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> > wrote: > > > Modify config/environment.rb to load user specific configuration files.. > > since environment.rb is ruby, you can also add smarts to conditionally > > load files on environment conditions, user defined properties, etc.. > > > > Everyone will still have the same version of config/environment.rb but > > can have drastically different environments based on their own user > > settings. > > Aha, that sounds exactly like what I need :-) > > Thanks much! > -- > Hassan Schroeder ------------------------ hassan.schroeder-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org > > > >--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
