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

Sorry about the non-specific subject. Here''s what I''m trying to do. I have a method: DataMapper::Database.setup That I want to create an expectation on. I wrote: DataMapper::Database.should_receive(:setup).once.and_return (connection_hash) The call to setup is invoked in the "Object" namespace. I.e., it is setup code, and not in any method or class. I can see

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

Hi there, I''m fairly new to RSpec, and DataMapper and I''m trying to write a controller spec for an index action that will include DM query chaining. Here is a very simplified version of the Controller#index I''m working on def index @widgets = Widget.all(:order => [ :name.asc ]) if params[:alpha] @widgets = @widgets.by_alpha(params[:alpha]) elsif

I just ran across a weird glitch (IMHO) in find_or_create. The arguments passed to it are *not* added to the conditions for the ''first'' part. This is odd, given that it''s intended to replace find_or_create_by_* methods, which *did* use the specified values as conditions. I''m unsure on whether this behavior is entirely undesirable, but it''s definitely

Hello. I''m the author of DataMapper (http://datamapper.org), and am trying to choose what Full-Text-Indexing engine/plugin I want to include by default. I was hoping you guys could help. :-) Sphinx comes highly recommended, but without live index updates, it just doesn''t seem practical for most of my work. I''m most experienced with Solr, but the whole HTTP::Request and

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

Hi, this code used to work, but for some reason it won''t now: [... load models] DataMapper.setup(:default, "mysql://cm:password-yro0w6Hh2UrkfKl135yGWg@public.gmane.org/cm") DataMapper.setup(:lite, "sqlite3:///home/tigre/cm.sqlite") DataMapper.finalize DataMapper.repository(:lite).auto_migrate!

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

In my attempt to add AM:Dirty to my model I realized that AM#AttributeMethods is a bit imperfect. It''s impossible to generate attribute methods step-by-step in DataMapper-like manner. class Model include ActiveModel::Dirty def self.property(name, klass = String) define_property_accessors(name, klass) # This method will be called once, because of

I have what appears to be a problem accessing methods from within an application. I can access them from irb, but not from within the app. In other words: irb(main):001:0> require ''rubygems'' => true irb(main):002:0> require ''haml'' => true irb(main):003:0> Haml.respond_to?(''init_rails'') => true

I want to use an array in the :conditions of an ActiveRecord Find so that a SQL IN statement is created. However, I also want to specify a greater than condition on a timestamp column too. From the Docs: An array may be used in the hash to use the SQL IN operator: Student.find(:all, :conditions => { :grade => [9,11,12] }) How do I modify this so that it also contains the timestamp

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 everyone, I am attempting to connect an already existing mysql database with Rails. For This I can''t use the traditional "generate scaffold" and "rake db:migrate" because (I think), I''ll loose the data already existing in that database table. So what I did was, I generated a scaffold for my table, and instead of running db:migrate, I added a

A couple months ago I asked how stories and specs might impact each other. [1] If you look at Dan North''s example of what''s in a story [2], and you imagine using the spec framework to drive the design, you can probably imagine a significant bit of overlap in the two. Is that a bad thing? I''m not sure. It has made me a bit uncomfortable though, and I''ve

Good day, does anyone here have a clue on how to make use of the NoSQL database "Riak" with Camping? I am building my website and Riak seems like pretty much the ultimate database! This would probably ruin every little feature in ActiveRecord, I don''t think I''d be able to do any has_many''s or belongs_to but I''d LOVE to be proven wrong. As far as
