sinatra

I am trying to use jQuery to submit a form to my Sinatra app, but when POSTing via the AJAX, the Sinatra app is displaying a blank page. I would like it to stay on the same page, and update the content I have specified in the javascript. Here is my code, stripped down: post '/register' do register( params ) end get '/register' do haml :register end And here is my javascript in the haml file: :javascript $(function() { $("button#submit").click(function(){ $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "/register", data: $('form.register').serialize(), success: function(){ $("#message").html("Successfully

I'm very new to ruby & Sinatra and I have a basic question: The app I'm trying to build will use Facebook as it's sole method of authenticating users into the app. I want to store a local users table which will contain only the facebook uid along with some user preferences. I have looked at a couple of gems which allow me to authenticate against the facebook API, however I am unsure how to control sessions within my application once I have established the user is valid. I have been using the koala gem for talking to facebook, and I have also seen the sinatra-session gem for running the session

I have a Sinatra app and I'd like to start building new functionality in Rails while still supporting the existing Sinatra functionality. I've tried the following strategies: sinatra's rackup routes some requests to rails and some to sinatra sinatra's rackup includes rails rails' rackup includes sinatra. Many of my searches resulted in rails 3, not 4. Additionally, does Rails have to generate the db versus using one that Sinatra was using (in this case, the Sequel gem to access Sqlite3.) In general the errors I was getting were about gems and paths. (Although I did rebundle and try different

I'm using RSpec in a Sinatra project. I'm testing a model which runs an after_find hook to initialize some values. I need to wipe the database before every run, and after some searching around, my spec helper file looks like this: require "pry" require "factory_girl_rails" require "rspec-rails" FactoryGirl.find_definitions ActiveRecord::Migration.check_pending! if defined?(ActiveRecord::Migration) RSpec.configure do |config| config.use_transactional_fixtures = true end I'm getting the following error: undefined method `use_transactional_fixtures=' for #<RSpec::Core::Configuration

I want to be able to terminate a Sinatra app from a request, e.g. with the following route: post '/terminate' do Thread.current.kill end Implementing it like this is a bit abrupt. I'd rather the request completed, returned an HTTP OK message, and then Sinatra shut down gracefully. Is there a hook to do this? Edit: My application is a lightweight mock server used for receiving webhook notifications. I will be using multiple servers like this on the same machine (different ports), so need to avoid any global methods of starting/stopping. My requirement is driven by the fact that each server must
