similar to: class reloading

All, So I got passed my initial hurdles with merb 0.4. And all seems to work very nicely. Thank you all for your help ! One thing though, why should I have to bounce the merb server when I change my controller or associated classes ? Am I missing something ? I am having flash back to my java days where I now have to reflect on what changed and bounce the server accordingly...

I''ll probably do my respond_to API rewrite, as discussed here: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/merb-devel/2007-September/000275.html sometime this week, unless someone has come up with a better API. I''ll also work in http://merb.devjavu.com/ticket/227 at the same time. Any serious objections?

I ripped the flash stuff from merb and stuck it in a plugin, for folks who want a Rails-style flash. It''s on Rubyforge: http://rubyforge.org/projects/merb-plugins/ And will maybe have a little homepage: http://merb-plugins.rubyforge.org/merb_has_flash/ Try it out, please send bug reports to me via email for now.

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

Hi, I have some Ruby modules inside my merb application /lib directory. Problem is: Every time I make a change in these files I have to restart Merb. This becomes impossible after 1000 restarts in 10 minutes. Can anybody say some magic words to save me? Thanks, -Sergio -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In rev 410, "rake db:migrate" doesn''t run because the Rake tasks are still looking for dist/ This patch removes all the references to dist/ that I could find.

Hi all, I''m trying to run the mrblog sample application but somehow the rake task fails: -- Los-Angeles:~/Projects/mrblog Ulf$ rake db:schema:load --trace (in /Users/Ulf/Projects/mrblog) rake aborted!

Ezra, I''m sure you are really busy and can''t spend too much working on Merb. Please let us know how we can help you. If the plugin architecture is stable, would you be interested in some of us porting few rails plugins over (such as attachment_fu) ? Or is there anything else we could do during our free hacking time? Thanks, -Matt -------------- next part -------------- An

Ezra, Is there a setting that can be changed to have the merb mailing list set the from address as the users from as opposed to merb-devel at rubyforge.org? Thanks!

Ez (or someone) asked on #merb tonight whether respond_to was the right API for what it does. After some discussion and pasties, I offer the following proposed API for content negotiation and response format selection: First, what does respond_to do right now? I see at as performing 3 distinct operations: 1. parse params[:format] and the accepts header to find out what format the

I remember having this discussion on IRC before, so Ezra if you could remind me that would be appreciated: Why do we check for the existence of the controller file in (what is now) Request#controller_class? The reason I ask is that I would like to implement some sort of "Rails engine" like features for gem plugins--in other words, drop in a gem that has controllers/views etc.

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 List- I''m brand new to xen but an old hand with Linux. With a fresh, clean, Gentoo installation on this box, I''m attempting to install xen using the gentoo-standard: emerge xen but the process is failing with an error that''s very similar to one reported by another user (A Streetcar Named: see

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

Hi Ezra, and list, Is there something fishy with the Merb-included migration? I ran it, and MySQL complained. I removed this line, by commenting it out: # t.column :id, :integer, :null => false (Since Rails migrations that create tables always create an auto- increment as primary key, but they do use the NULL thing, so when you pass in a null, things happen "the

So has anyone thought about tackling his ToDo list? I would like to contribute if i can, but i don''t want people making changes and then find out someone has already done so. I guess what i am saying is that i can step up and help organize the changes that people would like to modify and aid in testing them. What does everyone think? Does anyone have any items they would like to

Hi, I am just starting playing with merb and was wondering if there is any caching strategy available. I was planning on using the action caching plugin but I am quiet sure what is the merb plan with dealing with plugins... Any idea or suggestions ?

Ezra, I love merb, especially because it''s keeping the things that Rails does well and improves on things that Rails hasn''t done so well. One of my biggest pain points with Rails has become multi-app integration. A lot of web sites consist of multiple apps (e.g. a core site, a forum, a blog/cms, etc.). Doing this sort of thing is very ugly and inefficient with the current

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

Geoff, you''ve committed specs for form helper methods. I''ve recently looked at some of those but unfortunately not spec''ed them. Would it be alright for you if I flesh out some of your specs related to forms? Ezra, would you prefer to have any edits as tickets, or checked in?
