similar to: merb/sequel mutex on or off? proxy_balancer or no?

Just wanted to get the opinion from merb users on active record alternatives that you are either using or watching. I''ve been reading a bit about sequel and data mapper. Both look pretty nice. Anyone actively using those yet? Any others? If anyone cares to provide their thoughts, I''d love to hear them. BTW - is this too off-topic for this list? If so, just let me know and

I converted the rails geokit plugin to a merb plugin today. Anyone interested in testing it out? It seems to be working great for me. If so, where should I put it? I don''t have a blog up or anything right now. Been meaning to do that, but haven''t had the time. -Dusty Doris

I have a question about the usage of Merb::Controller#url. When I have nested resources, requesting the new action works differently than I expected. I was wondering what the intended usage is. For example: Say I have r.resources :articles do |article| article.resources :article_attachments end irb(main):002:0> show_routes [:articles, "/articles"] [:article_attachments,

I''m a new merb user. Rather than ask a bunch of questions on this list, I''d like to ask if anyone can point me to a sample merb application preferably using trunk (or close to it) and preferably using Sequel for the ORM. If I can''t figure out how to bull my way through things from a sample, I''ll come back and ask my newbie questions. Thanks! cr

I didn''t quite see a direct answer to Matt''s question regarding running merb from SVN: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/merb-devel/2007-July/000132.html In a merb application, is there something comparable to having rails in the vendor/ folder of a rails app? Thanks, Duane Johnson (canadaduane)

I have a question about changeset 355 for "Initial support for controllers to be nested in modules and directories." I have probably overlooked something here, but it appears to me that something is missing to be able to route to those nested controllers. Looking in Merb::Dispatcher, it looks like the workflow goes like this. route = route_path(request_uri) route_path then calls

Hi all, I was just wondering if this is the intended behavior. Here is my setup: controller def index respond_to do |f| f.xml { render :xml => true } f.html { render :layout => :none } end end In my views I have a file for each type index.herb index.xerb The first request I send is cached and interferes with the other one. For example, if I send an xml request

I''m trying to run on trunk. When I run "rake -T" I get an error: undefined local variable or method `full_config'' for Merb::Orms::Sequel:Module I''m not 100% sure that I haven''t messed something up, so I hesitate to cry "bug" without checking with everyone. Is anyone else seeing this? P.S. I''m running merb trunk installed as a gem,

Has anyone had troubles from Mongrel > 1.0.1? Just curious, because the last time I tried to run Merb it gave me some Mongrel error about the wrong number of arguments, or something like that. I can post the exact message tonight when I get home. -- Cheers, Kevin Williams http://kevwil.com/ http://www.almostserio.us/ http://kevwil.jaiku.com/

Hey all, I am looking to write a plugin for merb and have a few queries about how to best go about it. I have a few questions (sorry if some are very merb newbie ones): - It seems all the plugins are gems; I can just add dependencies (my plugin will require soap4r) as per any usual gem spec? - If I want my plugin to add some new generate functionality? Is this possible? If so, are there

Since there are so many efforts at the moment to port restful_authentication I figured I''d put a repo up so that it can be a collaborative effort. You can pick up a copy of the repo at git clone http://snatcht.com/git/merbful_authentication.git at the moment the app is in a branch. Not in the master. get the branch by git checkout -b remote/initial origin/inital_repo At the moment

Ezra, * test harness in new generated merb apps with helpers for testing merb without starting a server. * pin down plugin arch Seems to me that these two tasks go together unless you want to have rspec built in Merb. Regarding the test harness, my understanding is that: - a developer should be able to easily write specs against a merb application. - a developer should not need to start a merb

RSpeckers: I''m trying to install this into a Merb-generated RSpec rig: http://code.jeremyevans.net/doc/fixture_dependencies/ It requires inserting their test case into RSpec. This is the documented way to do it: describe ''Post'' do inherit FixtureDependencies::SequelTestCase And that leads to the syntax error in the subject line. (No stack trace is available

Is there an agreed upon method for handling exceptions thrown by something outside of Merb? For example, DataMapper now throws a DataMapper::ObjectNotFoundError when a record isn''t found in the db. I''d like to catch these exceptions and raise a C:E:NotFound exception instead, but without having to wrap a lot of code in begin/rescue/end blocks. Thanks, Mike Irwin

Few quick questions. What is the risk of turning off the mutex lock? I have a particular controller which fires off snmpwalks/gets to pull back data. It works great if everything is up, but when I test against a hung snmp server, I notice that lock getting in the way of other requests. I have just ran a test with mutex turned off and it seems to work great. But, I was wondering what the risk

After seeing this reopened I submitted an appropriate patch to resolve the rest of this issue. Can someone check it and commit it? Also, what are the criteria for getting commit access? I would like to do some more work on improving the Sequel plugin. -James -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

I''m using Sequel as my ORM and Test::Unit as my testing framework and have the following model: class Item < Sequel::Model validates do presence_of( :name, :uuid, :vendor_id, :vendor_reference, :amount, :currency_code ) uniqueness_of( :uuid ) end def initialize( *args ) super( *args ) self.uuid = UUID.random_create.to_s end end As you can see I overwrite

anyone using sequel with rails? any references regarding comparing sequel with other solutions(vs ActiveRecord, vs DataMapper and so on)? thanks in advance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi people, just thought I''d mumble out my thoughts on merb''s apps directory structure and config concepts and see what other people are feeling... the app dir: mvc/application is layed out as expected....maybe without the mailer by default (another discussion) the config dir: I really think that it''s confusing to have such a mixture of ways to configure some

Hello Mongrels, Building on the last messages about Fastthread, can we get a detailed survey of the different ways people are deploying their applications? It will help with near-future Mongrel development. Please include the following things: * Framework, if any (Camping, Merb, Rails, Nitro, Ramaze, IOWA, Rack...) * Mongrel version * Mongrel handlers used (rails, dirhandler, camping,
