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,

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 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 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

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 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,

I''m following merb trunk. This morning I updated my gems, sync''d merb source and installed the merb gem from source. I don''t know if I did something wrong, or if a new gem messed things up, or if there was a merb change which broke something. Now I get this error: Request: REQUEST_URI: / (2007-11-05 20:27:04) Params: {"action"=>"index",

I am going to be building a project and have been considering giving a go at merb for it. I don''t necessarily need a speed increase and rails would certainly serve my needs well. However, it just looks so clean, I have to try it out. I also don''t really use (know) all the extra rails stuff much, so I really just want activerecord and an MVC pattern. Perfect! So, one of my

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''m trying to get Merb running on Windows XP SP2 and am experiencing some difficulties. I load http://localhost:4000/posts/new in my browser expecting to see the contents of new.herb rendered. However the following error is reported: Request: PATH_INFO: /posts/new Params: {"action"=>"new", "id"=>nil, "controller"=>"posts"}

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,

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:

Hi there I just started my first Merb app and I''m running into some weird things in Specs. When I do: describe "create action" do it "should create a new project" do project_params = {:name => ''bekkunin''} Project.should_receive(:create).with(project_params) controller, action = post(''/projects'', :project

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

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

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

The following construct is an ActiveSupport-ism: returning(Foo.new) do |foo| ... end I don''t especially like it, since it''s both more verbose and less efficient than the direct alternative: foo = Foo.new ... foo It doesn''t occur many times in Merb, so does anyone agree with me that it should be removed? I tried doing this (patch attached) and I find

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

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
