mkristgan's rack_datamapper gem says that it "can be wrapped to be used in a specific environement, i.e. Rack::Session::Datamapper". Unfortunately, I don't know quite enough about Ruby to accomplish this task yet –Modules/Classes in Ruby are still above my head (coming from PHP). Can anyone offer assistance with using rack_datamapper...
Hello Stackies, I'm deploying a Sinatra app using passenger. The deployed app is working, but not entirely: some paths work fine, others simply render a blank page. I can't seem to find any major differences between the routes that work and the routes that don't, and I can't seem to track down any errors.. Handlers I have defined the ...
I've got a couple Engine plugins with metal endpoints that implement some extremely simple web services I intend to share across multiple applications.

As of now the only way i know this could be possible, is by running JRuby and Rhino on the JVM, but I'm hoping for a leaner solution. Has anyone heard of another, more rubyish perhaps, option ? Edit : Reading the comments I'm starting to think ...

Basically, I want to drop all my CGI scripts in a directory and start thin in that directory. Then, any requests to http://localhost:3000/<script> should just exe...
I'm trying to write a Sinatra app that will run on a shared Passenger server. For now, I'd be happy just getting a "hello world", but something isn't working quite right. I have: config.ru require 'vendor/sinatra-lib/sinatra.rb' set :environment, :production disable :run require 'myapp.rb' run Sinatra::Application myapp.rb get '/...
I'm currently on Dreamhost attempting to run a Rails 2.3.5 app. Here is the situation, Dreamhost's servers have Rails 2.2.2 installed. Of course, I can't update a shared host's rails version, so I froze my Rails in vendor. Rails 2.3.5 requires the rack v1.0.1 gem. Dreamhost uses the rack v1.0.0 gem. So when I try to define: config.gem ...

I am getting Encoding::UndefinedConversionError at /find/Wrocław "\xC5" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8 For some mysterious reason sinatra is passing the string as ASCII instead of UTF-8 as it should. I have found some kind of ugly workaround... I don't know why Rack assumes the encoding is ASCII-8BIT ... anyway, a way is to use string.forc...

Howdy, I'm having big trouble testing with rSpec's controller API. Right now I'm using a middleware authentication solution (Warden), and when I run the specs, the proxy added by the middleware is not there, and all the authentication tests are throwing NilPointerExceptions all over the place. It seems rSpec is not adding the middlewar...
