Hey all, I just pushed out the inaugural release of TentSteak 0.1.0, a set of Camping/Markaby helpers to minimize the busywork in your views (or was that the "viewwork in your busies"?). It includes lotsa HTML form and table helpers, plus a little bootstrapper to make it easy to load in shared helper modules of your own. Please check it out and let me know what you think.

The second release of TentSteak is out and available as a gem on rubyforge ("gem install tent_steak"). This version introduces a handful of new form helpers, a couple method renames, editable HTML tables, and some application bootstrappers for kickstarting Camping and initializing ActiveRecord. It''s still in active development, and I''d very much appreciate

I can''t get fixtures to load correctly in a Mosquito test. The first fixture loads in the unit test, but the rest don''t load at all. File structure: tracker/ tracker.rb test/ test_tracker.rb fixtures/ tracker_measurements.yml tracker_projects.yml Relevant test code: require ''rubygems''

after investigating why the reloader wasnt working , i discovered 2 probs, one of which was sorta my fault (but will likely happen to others who make one-file apps) first, my app was like this: #!/usr/bn/env ruby %w{applib1 applib2 digest/md80 airbus}.each{|r| require r}} if __FILE__ == $0 Mongrel.config do handler ''/'', Camping.reloader.new(__FILE__) end end not

Hi, Camping 1.5.180 Ruby 1.8.6 It looks like Camping is choking on the ''rows'' attribute for input tags: input(:name => ''cuid'', :type => ''text'', :size => 10, :rows => 3) That will fail with: Markaby::InvalidXhtmlError no attribute `rows'' on input elements:

Guys, We''re embarking on a new dev project, and I''m curious....why would one choose markaby over erb? I for one am no fan of the erb syntax, but aside from that it''s similar to other technologies I''ve used in the past: PHP, JSP, ASP, etc. Why would one choose markaby over erb? What are the benefits? What are the drawbacks? Is there anything remarkable

Hi all, I love the elegance of Markaby for HTML generation. I''d like to do something similar for SVG, e.g.: svg11 do title "Slide Title" rect({:x=>2,:y=>2,:width=>508,:height=>318,:fill=>"aqua"}) g({:style=>"fill:blue; stroke:black", :transform=>"translate(17,-38)"}) do circle({:cx=>70, :cy=>100,

What''s the current status of Markaby? I''ve played with it a bit and love it and am considering using it for a large project I''m starting. If you''ve used it, I''d love to hear your comments! Jamie

Ok, So I followed the directions.. I did a ''gem install markaby'' (which sounds like its enough to get me going for rails), but I wasn''t sure, so I tried to install the plugin as well. Plugin installation fails looking for a file: Script/plugin install http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/svn/markaby/trunk Outputs this error: + ./trunk/svnindex.xsl

The ability to use Rails'' caching is very important to me. Is there any way at all to get Rails caching working with Markaby templates? Right now if I use cache tags, I get some "length" error.

I''m having a little bit of difficulty deploying my app. I''ve run the setup and it works with Cap, but when I try to deploy it hangs at "querying latest revision". I can access my svn locally (I''m on a windows xp sp2 machine) using SubClipse plugin, but not through the command line though (yes, svn client is installed). I''m pretty sure that

Recently discovered Markaby. Before I use it on a production system, I''d like to know if it is still being maintained? According to the change log, the last change was in February of 2006. Does this mean that the project has been abandoned? Or, at version 0.3 it was considered production stable and complete? -- Best Regards, -Larry "Work, work, work...there is no satisfactory

I''m playing around with Markaby and I decided to write a little blog app. I''m running into issues with forms however. If I use form_for the output of the form gets swallowed. For example: form_for :article, @article do |f| f.text_field :title f.check_box :published f.text_area :description f.text_field :pub_date f.text_area :content end gets rendered as an empty form

Hello! Does anyone know how I can check out the Markaby trunk? I''m getting this error: <code> ruby script/plugin install http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/svn/markaby/trunk + ./trunk/svnindex.xsl /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:290:in `open_http'': 404 Not Found (OpenURI::HTTPError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:629:in `buffer_open''

Last night, I upgraded one of my rails apps to 1.1. This app uses Markaby exclusively for its'' views, and once I checked out the latest revisiong of Markaby (r33), everything was working fine except for one thing: select_tag(''province_id'', options_from_collection_for_select(@provinces, "id", "name")) Now returns this (as you see it is spitting

I''m just getting started with rspec, I''m running on edge for both. In a fresh project, I freeze edge, install the edge rspec plugin. I generate a simple rspec_model and run the spec. It passes. When I run rake spec:doc, I get the following output: - NO NAME (Because of --dry-run) where the specification should be. In fact if I just make a pending spec, it does the same.

Evaluating session variables inside a markaby paragraph tag always returns false. For example welcome.mab -- p "Good morning Mr. #{session[:user]}." -- displays: Good mornig Mr. How can I access session variables in maraby? -- Best Regards, -Larry "Work, work, work...there is no satisfactory alternative." --- E.Taft Benson -------------- next part

Has the should_... syntax changed? I''m getting errors when running the following: should_render(:index) should_be_valid should_not_be_valid should_respond_to should_be should_render I thought the syntax changed to something like the following: obj.should render(:index) but this doesn''t seem to work.

I discovered Markaby recently, and am loving it! I''m generating scaffolds, then converting them to Markaby ''.mab'' files. It got me wondering... Has anyone written a plugin to generate scaffolds in Markaby, yet?? That would be truly awesome if there was on out there already. -- Best Regards, -Larry "Work, work, work...there is no satisfactory

Hi I couldn''t figure out, how to create a drop-down list with Markaby. How would I create something like this: <select name="character"> <option value="marvin">Marvin the paranoid Android</option> <option value="arthur">Arthur Dent</option> <option value="zaphod">Zaphod
