Hi!
I'm building an app where the user can upload images. this works fine and
the uploaded file is copied from the temp directory to an
MerbRoot/uploads/id directory. my problem is that the filename is something
like Merb.5288.0. How can I rename it? my model is available at
pastie.<http://pastie.caboo.se/160143>
I'm sure this question is not too sophisticated (-;

Subject: Models are not initialised correctly with 'rake test' in Merb 0.9.1
Message-ID: <c2c0b660803021447l475ab853w638316e51edc8f2c@mail.gmail.com>

I'm using Sequel as my ORM and Test::Unit as my testing framework  and
have the following model:

class Item < Sequel::Model
  validates do
    presence_of( :name, :uuid, :vendor_id, :vendor_reference, :amount,
:currency_code )
    uniqueness_of( :uuid )
  end

  def initialize( *args )
    super( *args )
    self.uuid = UUID.random_create.to_s
  end
end

As you can see I overwrite initialize to set up the UUID when the
model is instantiated. In my tests I have the following method which
sets up an Item:

def generate_valid_new_item
    item = Item.new do |i|
      i.name = random_item_name
      i.description = random_description
      i.vendor_id = random_vendor_id
      i.vendor_reference = random_vendor_reference
      i.amount = random_amount
      i.currency_code = random_currency_code
      i.image_url = random_homepage_url
    end
    assert( item.valid?, item.errors.full_messages )
    item
  end

The problem is that when it gets to that assert on the 3rd last line
it fails because item.uuid (which should exist) is nil. I put a
breakpoint in the initialize method and it is never called(!?). I have
no clue how the object is being initialised if new is called but
initialize is not?

The strange thing is that this only happens when I run my unit tests.
If I run 'merb -i' (even with -e test) I can initialise an Item
correctly:

farrel at nicodemus ~/Projects/boxen $ merb -i -e test
 ~ loading gem 'merb_sequel' from config/init.rb:30 ...
 ~ loading gem 'merb_test_unit' from config/init.rb:41 ...
 ~ The merb_test_unit gem was not found.  You may need to install it.
 ~ Loaded TEST Environment...
 ~ Connecting to the 'boxen_test' database on 'localhost' using 'postgres' ...
 ~ Compiling routes...
 ~ loading gem 'password' from config/init.rb:58 ...
 ~ loading gem 'validation_extensions' from config/init.rb:59 ...
 ~ loading gem 'uuidtools' from config/init.rb:60 ...
 ~ Using 'share-nothing' cookie sessions (4kb limit per client)
irb(main):001:0> item = Item.new
=> #<Item @values={:uuid=>"ef62fa2e-594a-4305-b1bf-8a9b7aec8790"}>

The UUID is definitely present there. Anyone else have some ideas?

But I suppose that depends on your definition of "support". If you  
mean they have infrastructure to house it then anyone that provides  
Rails support will work. If you mean they will fix it when you break

Message-ID: <7e7cb8940803101426g7c63203epdc7a8b4902d2fca5@mail.gmail.com>

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 did
you get started? Any insight on how Merb compares with Rails and how
it's better or worse?
   *  What's PmpknPi? or Tell us more about PmpknPi? What are your future plans?

    Here's a quote:

   Rails is awesome. I try my very best not to say things like Merb is
"better" than Rails but it is. Let's keep in mind that part of the
reason it's great is because it is a lot like Rails and Merb was able
to learn from the mistakes Rails learned the hard way. The most
obvious advantage that Merb has is for writing APIs. If you were to
build an API with Rails you are loading this entire (kitchen sink)
framework for something very simple. Think alone of all those view
helpers you won't be using yet they are being loaded for every
instance of Mongrel. This is like driving a motor home to the
cornerstone to buy milk. Merb on the other hand is broken into chunks
(merb-core, merb-more, plugins) so you only load what you need. This
makes Merb multiple times faster than Rails.

     More @ http://vanrb.wordpress.com/2008/03/10/brockwhitten/

     Cheers.

Hi,

I have some Ruby modules inside my merb application /lib directory.

Problem is: Every time I make a change in these files I have to restart
Merb.

This becomes impossible after 1000 restarts in 10 minutes.

Can anybody say some magic words to save me?

Thanks,

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 and it cant kill off the old merb successfully  
so restarting the new one fails :'(

What have other people experienced? How are you tackling these problems?

Many thanks

Tim

The same problem occurs when you use libs in the local gems/ dir.
When the file changes, it seems to be unloading the current libs,
but not reloading them, because when I change a file, I have constants
disappear.

Are you running one mongrel  or multiple. I have a site that I haven't  
touched
for 6months and it is running fine.

The site is running more than one mongrel. I've solved the problem  
now :)

I'll write up a blog post with my god config on there - I'll post back  
a link to it for archive reference.

I'm running merb in production, and using monit to handle start on
boot and to monitor.  A couple of things:

I had to upgrade (just recently) to 0.9.1 to fix a bug whereby a call
to start would always clear the PID regardless of if it was already
running -- you'd lose the PID of the current running process.  The
reason you're seeing problems with -k is that there are no PIDs, and
it doesn't know how to stop them.  Now, it works great and tells you
it's already running and leaves the PID file alone.

Here's my monit script (it's actually a capistrano script that sets up
monit in general, and monit for mongrel and merb):

http://pastie.textmate.org/165153

I've noticed when I start merb using this capistrano recipe I wrote:

http://pastie.textmate.org/165156

It uses the cluster-nodes, so the ps processes all look like:

/usr/bin/ruby /usr/bin/merb --merb-root /var/www/apps/my_app/current
--daemonize --cluster-nodes 3 --port 4000 --environment production
--log /var/www/apps/my_app/current/log/merb.log

But when they get restarted, they use the individual merb command
(without the cluster-nodes and with the --port 400x explicitly
specified).  They seem to work fine like that.

The important thing is to tell monit to start merb using your uid and
guid for the correct user when monit restarts.  mongrel_cluster can
handle changing to the appropriate user for you, but when you use merb
directly, it cannot.

I have an apache rule that circumvents calls to rails, as merb is
insanely faster, but even if they go down, rails would (slowly) pick
up the slack.

Hope that helps.

Having to restart the server on every modification makes it much worse than
Java. I miss the servlet API specification.

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 drop this file into the root of your
project as ./.autotest.

Hey James,

 I noticed the exact same thing last night. I guess we could add that
.autotest to the merb generator and have it generated at the same time as a
project or by calling merb-gen autotest_conf or something like that.

FYI you can fork Merb and send a pull request to wycats/ezmobius:
http://github.com/wycats

Subject: Merb Init Problems
Message-ID: <78a02dc40803161103q4f293b5dy3a72bbf3ce4dd29d@mail.gmail.com>

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 options:

:use_mutex: true
:merb_root: /Users/josh/Projects/schmerb
:session_id_cookie_only: true
:port: "4000"
:query_string_whitelist: []

Subject: Merb and Javascript template system
Message-ID: <c74787c00803181352g52eccd0ar2ef978798bef8cd7@mail.gmail.com>

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?

New to merb, I was wondering if there are any similar rake tasks to that

Im using merb version 0.5.3

Hi!

Today I resolved my problem with layouts of Javascript using a "single" core
modification and like to share it with you.

My problem is in merb-0.5.3 and i don't know if this really is a problem or
is a option of Merb developers.

But, to solve *my* case. To use layouts of javascript files in merb
0.5.3only change that line:

if engine.exempt_from_layout? || opts[:layout] == :none ||
[:js].include?(@_template_format)

in File lib/merb/mixins/render.rb,

to

if engine.exempt_from_layout? || opts[:layout] == :none


:)

Is there a "reference project" out there that inspires feature

Oookee got the latest gems (mostly 0.9.2!) and I git-ted the latest merb-core 
from the git thing and installed it...

What's this?

$ rake
... --format specdoc --colour failed
/usr//lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-1.1.3/lib/spec/rake/spectask.rb:184:in `define'
/usr//lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.1/lib/rake.rb:1003:in `verbose'

Installing gems with 'color' in their names don't help.

I thought I answered that in my post!

Also, I'm aware --colour didn't fail, the entire ruby -I"blah blah blah..." 
command failed! Yet something in rake --trace threw away the e.message part of 
the exception, and only gave the backtrace...

Tx!

Now that contained this issue:

./config/init.rb:require 'BlueCloth'

That line needs the lecture on case sensitive filenames. require 'RedCloth' 
needed it too!

Next...

$ rake spec
(in /home/phlip/projects/merb/sintaxi-pmpknpi-master)
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-1.1.3/lib/spec/runner/options.rb:195:in 
`files_to_load': File or directory not found: spec/_spec.rb (RuntimeError)

Googling for that gives one pastie entry. Someone fixed something before posting 
their pastie to a forum!

But the _spec.rb looks more like a missing %replacer% than a cleverly-named 
config file or something...

Hi all,

My name is AJ, and I'm a computer science major at Tufts University. I
really would love to do some work with Merb this summer. I've scanned over
the Google Summer of Code ideas, and I feel that taking on a project like
building a native forum application in Merb would be a good fit for me.
Could I get some feedback if this is an appropriate project, and who might
be a mentor for a project like this?

Thanks!

Either:

OR

rake spec TASK=task_name (without trailing _spec)

Why is merb-core asking for a class that google sez belongs to

You might look closer at your setup, it's not anywhere in the merb

Just a note, before I google MockRequest, the default _spec.rb works, and 
the problem arrives when I add one it...do block:

  it 'should do something' do

Subject: Replace this with your real tests.
Message-ID: <fsls03$bsj$1@ger.gmane.org>

Merbies:

When I generate a controller with option -T, I get a nice "functional" test 
suite (meaning a suite that mocks a controller and a web server):

class GrepperTest < Test::Unit::TestCase

  def setup
    @controller = Grepper.build(fake_request)
    @controller.dispatch('index')
  end

  # Replace this with your real tests.
  def test_should_be_setup
    assert false
  end
end

However, 'rake test' does not mind the 'assert false' there. 'rake 
test:functionals' does not exist, and 'ruby test/functional/grepper_test.rb' 
produces "no such file to load -- test/functional/../test_helper".

Copying one in from 
'app_generators/merb_plugin/templates/test/test_helper.rb' leads to 
"uninitialized constant Test"

Should I just be entering these issues into a do-list somewhere? I'm only 
using generated code, so the odds of pilot error are kind'a low...

	Yes make a list of what you run into. In all honesty not many folks  
use test/unit with merb and none of the core developers do. So I am  
not super surprised that it's not in the best working state ;)

	rspec definitely works fine. Please make a list of problems you have  
with test./unit and merb and we will work to fix the issues.

Thanks

I started a merb forum a couple weekends ago. http://merbums.merborials.com

I don't know all the details on the GSOC stuff, like if the project
has to be the students, or if more than one GSOC participant can work
on the same project or not.

If there aren't any limiting rules in the GSOC guidelines, feel free
to take a look at the project and join in if you would like.

I concur. I just now yanked it off my hard drive.

May I ask what's the best way to sync what's in this github with my 0.9.2 
gemmage?

http://gweezlebur.com/2008/3/1/quickie-sake-tasks-for-merb-hackers

This is what I'm doing. My setup is abnormal in that I have set up a  
second gem repo (which is somewhat tricky and AFAIK undocumented).  
There are currently uncommitted patches in the merb lighthouse that  
fully support my setup. If you're not worried about your main rubygem  
library having a potentially unstable merb in it just fire up the sake  
tasks they are pretty well behaved. You will need git installed.

Yay! Progress! Let's see what we can do about that!

Modern Ruby apps make such awesome use of symbolic options as named 
arguments, that it sure would be nice to work in Ruby 1.9, where you can 
upgrade :symbol => 'option' to symbol: 'option'.

But...

$ sake1.9 -i http://merbivore.com/merb-dev.sake
*** Sorry, ParseTree doesn't work with ruby 1.9.0

Now does anyone know why in hell does sake need ParseTree? To, uh, parse 
Ruby source?

I'm not going to keep trying 1.9! I'll be good! Only push one envelop at a 
time!

Yes, although I'm not sure why it doesn't just load the snippets.   
You could also mkdir merb and load that sake file as Rakefile, and it  
would probably work w/ 1.9.

Merb doesn't work w/ 1.9 yet, AIUI, though.

Subject: how to spec @controller.dispatch(:index) ?
Message-ID: <fsoh1o$5v6$1@ger.gmane.org>

Merbies:

I have clawed my way to the next line in my spec:

require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), "..", 'spec_helper.rb')
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../mock_request'

describe Grepper, "index action" do
  before :each do
    @in = Merb::MockRequest.new # ?
    @res = StringIO.new  # ?
    @controller = Merb::Controller.new(:controller => 'Grepper',
                                           :action => 'index')
  end

  it 'should do something' do
 #   @controller.dispatch(:index)
  end
end

Despite the merb-gen (and 
http://merb.lighthouseapp.com/projects/7435-merb-more/tickets/95 ), I seem 
to have a @controller that does not croak. But does it control? And how do I 
invoke its action, 'index'?

The classic code uses the line I commented out, with dispatch(), and 
naturally this doesn't work.

Does anyone have a working example of a Merb 0.9 site with intact Controller 
specs in it?

You could probably get away with your example being:

require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), "..", 'spec_helper.rb')

describe_action Grepper, :index do
   it 'should do something' do
     dispatch
   end
end


I really should get around to blogging them - those helpers are  
bouncing around between two apps right now, and they've mostly stopped  
getting tweaks.

Hello,

  FYI: I've created a web version (using S9) of Ezra Zygmuntowicz'
(Engine Yard) original PDF slide deck [1] from the Mountain West
RubyConf 2008 talk titled "Merb ? All You Need, None You Don't".

  Slides include:

  * Guiding Principles of Merb Development
  * Merb's Motto
  * Who Cares About Efficiency
  * merb-core ? Rack Webserver Abstraction Layer
  * merb-core ? Powerful Router
  * merb-more ? What's New?
  * and many more

  More @ http://slideshow.rubyforge.org/merb.html

  Cheers.

PS: Note, S9 slide shows work in Opera without requiring any plugins
(just hit F11). S9 is Opera Show Format-compatible. If you're curious,
the slide show textile source is @

Thanks but...

...That depends on missing goodies like controller_spec_helper.rb.

Pretend, for a moment, that I were a newb who is just starting with Merb. How do 
I test a controller? The 0.9 way? The answer can't be "copy various things out 
of Blerb!"!

Subject: Q: Rendering Partial to Javascript
Message-ID: <D965FE85-D8B3-4BB4-8B42-C6D4B65ED258@gmail.com>

Hello--

I have a working partial that iterates a collection and spits out some  
lines of text. There's a periodic updater that watches a search box  
and hits a search controller (different from the first one) that is  
meant to update the div containing those lines of text with new ones  
from the search. Here's what I have:

app/controllers/gem_searches.rb

def index
   @gems = Gems.all(:limit => 25)
   render :index, :format => :js
end

app/views/gem_searches/index.js.erb

$('gem-list').update('<%= partial "gem_files/gem_list" %>');

app/views/gem_files/_gem_list.html.haml

- @gems.each do |gem|
   .someblockelement
     = gem.full_name

It's supposed to use the same old partial template as is working on  
the non-Ajasx rendered page. Someplace in here, and it seems to be  
index.js.erb, I am getting "nil is not a symbol" and that's in partial  
(controller/mixins/render.rb).

Any thoughts as to what's wrong here?

Thanks

Does this revert remove the ability to spec views in isolation?
http://github.com/wycats/merb-core/commit/6867c0b8c4f8a985b7e75c571be9aea9e077861e
If so, is Tim Connor's method currently my best bet?
