I like the style of the Merb plugin manager....installing gems straight from RubyForge. However, the current implementation in trunk wants to find an install script and a Rakefile.merb. Many gems would still be useful without this and could be easily packaged with a Merb app for deployment. Right now it wil "rescue nil" if no uninstall script is found, but the others are required. Is

Fellows of the cloth -- I''m writing code that subclasses RedCloth and emits styled text that is not HTML. For example, I''m going to be emitting RTF and other formats from Textile or Markdown. I''ve got it working quite well with plainclothed RedCloth, but I can''t seem to override any of the methods in SuperRedCloth. Here''s a sample:

There''s been some discussion on the IRC channel about getting a site for Merb going. Since the culture around the project is pretty casual, I figured I''d just throw a few ideas together, see what you guys think. So, firstly here are three example pages, just to show off the general look and feel. http://mr-eel.com/tmp/merb/01_frontpage.gif

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

I can''t get fixtures to load correctly in a Mosquito test. The first fixture loads in the unit test, but the rest don''t load at all. File structure: tracker/ tracker.rb test/ test_tracker.rb fixtures/ tracker_measurements.yml tracker_projects.yml Relevant test code: require ''rubygems''

Mosquito, the TDD framework for Camping has been updated (0.1.3). We''ve tried to keep it backwards compatible, so your apps should continue to work. But feel free to submit a bug report at RubyForge if you have any problems.

Trunk Issue: Because of the use of ''autoload'', template handlers other than Erubis are not loaded automatically (Haml, XMLBuilder). Either this should be fixed, or the documentation should be updated to instruct people how to use non-Erb template engines. Apparently the solution is to do something like this in merb_init.rb: ::Merb::AbstractController.register_engine

Hello, I am in a bit of a bind. I need to reliably parse mediawiki markup to html, and the only parser that I can find (mediacloth) has a lot to be desired, so I would like to extend something that works and parse mediawiki markup. My question to this list is should I start working on RedCloth or SuperRedCloth or is there a difference as far as extending them? Also does anyone know of a write up

I''m going through Peepcode''s Rspec Basics for an overview. He''s just doing a simple spec: class PeepCode end describe PeepCode do it "should be awsome" do end end So running spec spec/simple_spec.rb should produce according to his screen cast: 1 example, 0 failures, 1 not implemented but I only recieve: 1 example, 0 failures Also spec

Okay, I am new to rails. I see that the new release of rails does not apply to anything on the site with regards to tutorials including screencasts. What I don''t understand is how I am suppose to learn Rails 2.0 if there is no docmentation for it. I did see that on peepcode there is a pdf for what has changed but how does that help me? How do I get an understanding of the design

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

The second release of TentSteak is out and available as a gem on rubyforge ("gem install tent_steak"). This version introduces a handful of new form helpers, a couple method renames, editable HTML tables, and some application bootstrappers for kickstarting Camping and initializing ActiveRecord. It''s still in active development, and I''d very much appreciate

Does anyone know of any RSpec screencasts for dummies, like me :) I have a Java background, but I have never written a java test in my life. I''ve never learned about TDD or BDD so I''m totally blank on everything that has anything to do with testing and stuff. Where should I start?!? ;) Christian... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this

Hi, Thanks Zed - this is very interesting. One item in particular caught my eye: Does anyone on this list have any comments or validation that Rails 1.2.1 is 2-4 times as slow as Rails 1.1.6? Topfunky provided a link that purports what looks like really horrible performance and memory characteristics for Rails 1.2.1, even v. 1.1.6:

For your entertainment, a simple Camping app to watch your Backpack account and show a list of recently updated pages. I hope to implement an RSS feed soon.

Currently, Merb just shows a string on error: "500 Internal Server Error" I''ve added this to my merb_init.rb: if MERB_ENV == ''production'' module Merb def self.html_exception(e) File.read(DIST_ROOT + "/public/500.html") end end end http://nubyonrails.com/500.html Potentially a plugin could be written to log this to the database.

Argh....ignore that last message. It looks like the trunk was already updated to serve public/500.html sometime in the past week. -- Geoffrey Grosenbach ........................ Blog | http://nubyonrails.com Podcast | http://podcast.rubyonrails.com Screencast | http://peepcode.com

Is anyone developing with HAML templates in Merb? I had to do a few hacks but got it generally working (Merb trunk). I did have to do odd things like print @_layout_content straight out instead of calling catch_content(:layout). And, templates seem to be cached even if I set :cache_templates to false in merb.yml. I hope to be at the MerbHack night at RailsConf and would love to hack on this part

Hi, I just heard about REST capabilities of rails 1.1. Does anyone know a good tutorial, or good article to begin with?
