similar to: RSpec testing for merb plugin gem

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

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

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

A couple days ago I submitted a patch, that was committed by Ezra, to the MrBlog project for the Rspec on Merb plugin. So far, it only works with ActiveRecord including fixtures. Has any played with it? If so, did you get it to work? I''m going to be submitting a patch for Controller specs soon. It will be very bare bones, given my current lack of understanding of Merb controller

greetings, i have a project based around merb 0.3.7 and I do not want to fiddle with it one bit. and now I want to start a new project running 0.4.2(and beyond). what is the recommend method of starting merb from a specific gem version? thanks - jw

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

Hi all, I will distribute a Merb application as a gem. All the pieces are in place, except one: when daemonizing, the PID files are put in the default log/ location, instead of the place I defined. I looked through the code, and it seems possible to change the location of the log files, but the paths are hard-coded. I would have to abstract these away. Am I approaching this the right

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

Hello! I get the following error everytime I try to check the result of previous step (by the way, I use default result_steps.rb): undefined local variable or method `response'' for #<Merb::Test::World::Webrat:0x7f083c7860b8> (NameError) ./features/steps/result_steps.rb:14:in ` /^the (.*) ?request should fail/'' features/authentication/login.feature:17:in `/^the (.*)

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

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 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,

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

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

RSpeckers: The time has come to plug assert_rjs_ into a matcher providing a grammar like "should generate_js_to :replace_html...". Does anyone have a lite website that uses Ajax and RSpec, for a reference implementation? I need non-trivial challenges... -- Phlip

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

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

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:
