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

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 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 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 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)

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

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,

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

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

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

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:

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

I''m trying to emulate the mongrel_cluster_ctl but it takes a -c conf_file option... meaning I can run it from anywhere as long as I tell it where the conf file is. Merb doesn''t have that capability does it? (it has an additional/supplemental config like mup.conf etc) Do I have to be under the merb_app root /path/to/merb/app/ to be able to run merb? Let me know. Thanks,

All, I see this item on the merb-0.0.8 release notes Added rails session parasite mode. I am assuming merbs can piggy back off the rails current session. How does one achieve that ?

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 put together a sample app to help people learn Merb: http://svn.depixelate.com/applications/invoice_tracker/ I also blogged about it here: http://depixelate.com/2007/5/31/taking-merb-for-a-spin -- Zack Chandler http://depixelate.com

Hi, first off thanks Ezra for Merb - it''s certainly interesting and I''m keen to have a play. However, I''m having difficulties in getting started. I''ve followed the docs for setting up mrblog and everything seems to be installed correctly, and merb appears to start fine: $ merb you must install the markaby gem to use .mab templates you must install the

Stupid question, but is there a way to run merb locally, without installing it as a gem? I don''t mean freezing it into a merb app, but checking out merb and being able to run it without installing the gem first. The reason I ask is that I''m working on some debugging stuff and it''d be helpful to be able to modify the source code, run it, modify, run, and so on. (And yes,
