similar to: Making failing view specs easier to troubleshoot

I''d like a controller to use a specific layout for all its views. Right now I''m calling `render :layout => ''foo''` in each method, but there must be a better way. I tried class Users < Application layout ''foo'' end And that definitely doesn''t work. Then, as a test, I tried setting _layout within a method, like this: def

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

I''ve submitted some specs for the problem I found with parsing multipart forms. http://merb.devjavu.com/projects/merb/ticket/21 It looks like the problem is broader than I thought before. The multipart form parsing only takes the last field in the form, the others get thrown away. Luke -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

The new routes system is available as a patch, with specs. There are a few specs that fail (6) having to do with mail and content negotiation. I could use some help figuring these ones out. Lots of things have changed, mostly in the dispatcher and controller classes. Let me know what you think, and then let''s get this patch applied.

#set_status http://merb.devjavu.com/browser/trunk/lib/merb/mixins/render.rb#L270 refers to a non-existent constant. I tried, while creating #359, to make things OK, but I failed. I started by using STATUS_CODES instead, then used #[] instead of calling a method named STATUS_CODES, then I found out that during the call to #inherited

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

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''ve started looking at ticket 90<http://merb.devjavu.com/projects/merb/ticket/90>and there are a couple of situations that the current implementation doesn''t cater for. 1. Tag Attributes are wiped out. - <tag1 attr1=''1''>Content</tag1> #=> { "tag1" => "Content" } - I think it should return -

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 all, apologies if this isn''t the right place to ask. merb.devjavu.com seems to be down for me everyday between 11:00am UTC and 5:00pm UTC. Anyone outside the US seeing this problem? Btw, merb is just... beautiful. Cheers, David

Hello guys. I missed a lot of the development before 0.4 got out (btw, excellent work!). I checkout last night the merb-trunk code and run the specs, found that everything passes with 1 pending, but no errors or failures about missing ruby2ruby. There is a ticket (#274)[1] that discuss this, but I remember we discussed this back in September about depending on RubyInline... Also, the merb gem

Hello Guys, Doing some svn up and some looking at the code in the repo, found that MERB_ROOT and the replacement Merb.root constant based heavily on Dir.pwd (on trunk: http://merb.devjavu.com/browser/trunk/lib/merb.rb#L89) Dir.pwd present a problem when you try to run something "outside" the root of your app, let say inside app directory it will wrongly assing MERB_ROOT to Dir.pwd and

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

I''m sorry I didn''t have time working on the tests/models generator but here is a tiny patch I wrote to help you creating form check boxes. http://merb.devjavu.com/projects/merb/ticket/114 -Matt -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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?

Hey there folks- I''m happy to announce the first useable release of my new pocket- framework Merb. Merb is a mongrel handler with built in controller and view templating with erb. It has a nice routing system similar to rails but much simpler. It uses some of the code from the camping handler and the rails handler and then some of its own secret sauce to form imho a nice fast

The http://merbivore.com/get_merb.html#trunk page mentions the 0.4.0 version, but 0.4.1 is out. Is this a part of the site which will be constantly updated as part of the release cycle? The roadmap on merb.devjavu.com has outstanding tickets for 0.4.0 and 0.4.1, yet both versions are out. Were those issues fixed, or should they be bumped forward? Yeah, this is really anal crap, I know. I would

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 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)

Hi I ran across the following when running spec on an old merb app. $ cat spec/spec.opts $ spec spec/models/topic_spec.rb Options written to spec/spec.opts. You can now use these options with: spec --options spec/spec.opts $ cat spec/spec.opts spec/models/topic_spec.rb $ spec spec/models/topic_spec.rb Options written to spec/spec.opts. You can now use these options with: spec --options
