Does anybody know why activeRecord is not built on top of ruby-dbi? I am curious about the reasoning behind the decision. Was it performance? Complexity? Databases support, ease of installation or something else. Let me know if anybody knows why.

Following up on #190 [1], I''ve just added a simple patch that allows the manipulation of the TYPES hash from within the Merb module. Use like: Merb.add_mime_type(:png,%w[image/png]) Merb.remove_mime_type(:png) It specifically disallows the removal of the :all MimeType, since content negotiation relies on it. I''m not super wonderful at API design, so comments and

Hi All, Is anyone seeing this? $ merb merb_paste /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/merb-0.5.2/lib/merb/config.rb:69:in `parse_args'': uninitialized constant Merb::RELEASE (NameError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/optparse.rb:785:in `initialize'' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/merb-0.5.2/lib/merb/config.rb:67:in `new'' from

I have encountered a problem with a RESTful route, I have the simple route; r.resources :people With a corresponding controller, when I tried to access it using ActiveResource I get a server error, I have tracked this down to a problem where if the header ''Content-Type: application/xml'' is sent it errors out: > curl -H ''Accept: */*''

Hello, I''ve published a Q&A in the Vancouver.rb series with Brock Whitten. Questions include: * How did you get started with Ruby on Rails? What makes Ruby on Rails a great choice for developing web applications/sites? * Can you tell us some challenges you''ve faced developing using Ruby on Rails? * Off the Rails - Can you tell us a little bit about Merb? How

Hello, My name is Olle, and I am new here. I''d like to add some detail to Ez''s explanation in a previous email [1]. These are the steps I took to get Merb running Merb Edge (is that what you call it?). Start in the merb-root not in the dist-root. # Create dist/framework, plus script/merb stub rake merb:freeze cd dist rm -rf framework # Replace dist/framework with trunk

Hi, I have the following setup: class Fred < Application class InvalidKey < Merb::ControllerExceptions::Unauthorized; end def blee raise InvalidKey unless key end end I have added a view exception template in views/exceptions/invalid_key.html.erb but I am not seeing the exception page being rendered ?? The request seems to correctly go to

I''ve submitted a few patches on Trac to help get Merb running under JRuby [0][1][2][3][4]. It''d be cool if any of you committers could find the time to look them over and apply/reject them. They''re mostly tiny, so it shouldn''t be too onerous. With all of these patches applied, there are still 3 spec failures. One is in the spec ''a merb mailer

Hi All, I''ve come across the following problem with merb 0.5.3 (ruby 1.8.6 / Mac OS X Leopard). Basically, when I type ''merb'' or ''merb -i'' from within the app''s root, It starts, compiles the routes and then exits. Any ideas??? This is a brand spanking new merb app: josh at JDS-MacBook:~/Projects/schmerb$ merb Merb started with these

Hi, I check out the last codes from merb repository. And the startup information for production environment just like that: ====================================================== dev:/var/www/apps/upload_merb/current/log# /etc/init.d/merb_init start Merb started with these options: --- :template_ext: :html: :herb :js: :jerb :xml: :xerb :config: dist/conf/upload.conf :drb_server_port:

Just a quick question to those of you using merb and sequel or datamapper. How do you setup your merb app? For example: merb -X off -c 5, then run mod_proxy_balancer or nginx to load balance between the 5 (or whatever #) of merb nodes? merb -X off -d, then simply use something like proxypass merb -c 5, keep the mutex lock and cluster it haproxy, swiftiply, evented mongrel...... What

After a half day''s work I''ve created a Merb app to handle file uploads for a Rails app. In my dev environment, I changed the views in the Rails app to point to Merb on port 4000. But now I''m stuck trying to figure out how to deploy my new Merb app on a production server. Looks like originally this was handled with a rewrite rule

Hi All, New to merb, I was wondering if there are any similar rake tasks to that of the rails rake stats? Im using merb version 0.5.3 Tried the aok task and am getting the following: eoghan-js-Computer:test_app eoghanj$ rake aok (in /project/merb/test_app) /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/merb-0.5.3/lib/merb/version.rb:45: warning: already initialized constant RELEASE rake rcov (in

Is there a simple way to bootstrap merb directly from the Subversion repository, rather than first installing it as a gem? I can do the following if I already have an old gem lying around: merb -g testapp # using an old gem cd testapp rake merb:freeze_from_svn Unfortunately, that means I''m using an old version of the generator. So for example, when I just tried this,

Not sure if anyone else has had this problem. I was running on merb edge fine a few days ago. Last night I went to merb 0.4.0 via gem install and now any call to session[:foo] causes an error >> undefined method ''[]'' for nil:NilClass I have uninstalled and reinstalled merb with no luck. dependencies.rb use_orm :activerecord merb.yml :session_store: active_record Gems

All, I have just updated to the latest release of merb 0.4 and I am wondering how I can get my controller changes to reload without bouncing the server ? I am running in dev mode but my changes to my merb controller don''t seem to get picked up on new requests. Also say I have a controller that needs to render an alternate xml format ie something like:

I have no problems loading any static requests, but any that are routed to a controller blow up. I''m getting a ''Bad controller'' error. The reason I''m a bit flummoxed is because the stack trace makes no sense. It terminates on this line: resolve_controller 68 /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/merb-0.3.7/ lib/merb/merb_dispatcher.rb As you can see,

Merbists, I saw a note in the attachment_fu source code regarding supporting Merb[1] as well as a post on the Caboose forum[2]. Has anyone gotten Merb working with Rick Olson''s attachment_fu to handle uploads for a Rails app? I''ve hacked together something, but it''s not pretty. Besides fixing the TODO mentioned in the attachment_fu source code to support Merb
