similar to: MooTools javascript integration for Merb

Hey All, I just wanted to get other peoples take on problems when running merb in production? Just as Rails used to do, the mongrels tend to get heavy/unresponsive over time so need a good kicking by a watcher daemon like god or monit. However, I have had serious problems getting God to restart the process, as the "merb -k <port>" command doesnt appear to work reliably

Hey All I was just wondering if anyone had tried deploying merb as a windows service? I am familiar with the sc.exe tool ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/251192 ) - do you think adding the correct paths and such to the merb bin will work? I am going to try this tomorrow but wondered what peoples thoughts were? Many thanks Tim

I''ve tryed to use the same logic in html layouts to handle javascript files without success. All I need is not repeat javascript code in various erb templates that have 90% of identical code. - I can''t use more than 1 js file. - If isn''t a way to do this like erb can do in html, what''s the best way to "include" a file in another using Merb? -- from

Hey All Quick question, what''s the merb equivalent of this: ActionView::Base.new([template_root], assigns, self) in merb? Ive found Merb::Template::Erubis.transform(:file => ''/path/to/file'') But I''ve no idea if thats the correct thing to be calling? It doesn''t ''feel'' right, so im not sure it is? Thanks Tim

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

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

Hey Chaps, Forgive me for not fully understanding the inner workings of merb, but I would like to read in a YAML configuration file once when the application is booted rather than reading it every time it is used (as presumably the overhead in doing that is significant?) - I had presumed this is how both Merb and rails do it for there database.yml config files (hence its a requirement

I checked out the latest merb ''trunk'' and after installing it as a gem... (fresh install) I got the dreaded "fastthread not loaded: fastthread must be required before thread" error when starting up an instance of merb. Even without dRB. So I patched the merb.rb file to include fastthread before anything else if it''s installed. Check it. Merry Christmas!

Hi! I''m rather new to Merb, but I thought I''d give it a shot. I found that autotest wasn''t running my specs when my models were changing. Maybe this is because of how I have set up Merb, but in the even that it''s not just me, I''ve adapted Autotest''s mappings for Rails and have attached my efforts to this email. Unfortunately, you need to

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

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

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

Hello, I have written a Java applet that uses Merb to process file uploads. This works perfectly on Merb 0.1.0. When I upgraded to 0.3.7, all seems to work well, but I then started to see problems - when people uploaded certain files, the ruby process would spin out and start using lots of CPU, never coming back to life. Other files work just fine. The problem is almost certainly in my Java

I have just started playing with merb. I think this framework has great potential so ATTA BOYS are in order !! Perhaps I missed something in the readme file, but how do I generate a default app in merb. I was looking for something like the cmd below to generate the app hierarchy ?? > merb myapp -Fernand -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

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)

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

Hi, I''m looking through the Merb::Routing code and I''ve found a regexp that I can''t figure out how it works. Merb::Router::SECTION_REGEXP #=> /(?::([a-z*_]+))/ It takes a route definition string, like "/products/:model/:id" and extracts the "model" string on the first pass, and later the "id" string. Can anyone shed some light on
