I have a Sinatra based REST service app and I would like to call one of the resources from within one of the routes, effectively composing one resource from another. E.g. get '/someresource' do otherresource = get '/otherresource' # do something with otherresource, return a new resource end get '/otherresource' do # etc. end A ...
I am busy porting a very small web app from ASP.NET MVC 2 to Ruby/Sinatra. In the MVC app, FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie was being used to set a persistent cookie when the users login was validated correctly against the database. I was wondering what the equivalent of Forms Authentication would be in Sinatra? All the authentication...
In my Sinatra app, I'm using a MongoDB with Grid to store book covers on Heroku. I want to be able to associate these with the books in my ActiveRecord-driven primary database. Currently, I'm downloading the image from Google Books, storing it in the MongoDB, and storing the BSON::ObjectID object into the database as a string. When I go...
I have this code in my controller: @cats = DirCat.all And this in a view: %ul#menu = @cats.each do |item| %li = link_to item.title, "/catalog/#{item.id}/" And get strange output: <ul id='menu'> <li> <a href="/catalog/4/">hello</a> </li> <li> <a href="/catalog/5/">hello 1</...
My sinatra app runs fine locally but when I push it to heroku it crashes and I get this error RegexpError - undefined (?...) sequence: /(?<=(LIST ALL SELECTED ))\w/: The line of code where the occurs is match = data.match('(?<=(LIST ALL SELECTED ))\w')[0] What I am trying to do is capture the next letter directly after 'LIST ALL S...

Take a image, through a simple form file upload Use RMagick to resize it Then store it in a database for persistence (irrelevant) But after going through the RDocs and endless head banging testing I can't seem to get the form image to a RMagick object cleanly.

For my next web application, I'm debating whether to use Rails 3.x or Sinatra. I would like to use the server to provide user authentication, application-triggered emails, a fairly complex data model (behind ActiveRecord), and a JSON data interface with the web client. The client side will use static HTML, static CSS, Javascript/jQuer...
I have a strange problem with sinatra... In my app the login form is checking with AJAX live whether a nickname is already taken or free... This works fine 90% of the time... But sometimes, randomly, I get no response from the given route anymore... in the console log all new requests to this route are missing as if I haven't sent anyth...
Starling is a great (at least for small projects) and simple message queue, however, it doesn't actually manage or start workers that consume the queues. Workling does this for Rails projects, but doesn't work for pure ruby applications, neither for Sinatra. Before I fork workling, or create my own custom one with threads/fork, is there...
Does anyone know of a way to authenticate in a Rails application and allow other Sinatra applications to pass that authentication token and session state through rack? I'm looking for something that basically allows single sign on. (I already have the secret and key in the rails app with authentication, now looking to use that as the si...

I am trying to stream textual data (XML/JSON) from a Ruby (1.9.1p378) Sinatra (1.0) Rack (1.2.1) application. The suggested solutions (e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3027435/is-there-a-way-to-flush-html-to-the-wire-in-sinatra) do not seem to work - the server just blocks when I yield elements of some infinite stream (e.g. from %...

I'm using Sinatra, and I wanted to set up some of the convenience rake tasks that Rails has, specifically rake db:seed. My first pass was this: namespace :db do desc 'Load the seed data from db/seeds.rb' task :seed do seed_file = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'db', 'seeds.rb') system("racksh < #{seed_file}") end end ...
Hi all: This is just for my weekend project/study, I am very new to Sinatra and MongoDB. I've installed the gems for mongoDB, such as: mongo, mongo_mapper and mongoid. When I tried connecting to my database on MongoHQ from localhost, it encountered such an error: Mongo::ConnectionFailure at / failed to connect to any given host:port ...
Hi all: I must have done it in a wrong way: the records printed out are out of order, even though they are inserted into db one at a time. Here is the code: get '/' do db = Mongo::Connection.new("localhost", 27017).db("testdb") @notes = db.collection('notes') @notelist = Set.new() @notes.find().each{|record| @notelist.add(recor...
As the title says... Google doesn't give anything useful concerning this. How do I set up and configure https/ssl for Sinatra apps? How to create a https route? etc. I have never used https for my apps before and have no experience tweaking Rack/whatever, so I appreciate detailed answers... ...
