sinatra

I know the slug compiler removes the .git directory when creating a heroku slug, but is there any way to configure Heroku so that I can access the currently running git commit number from within my scripts? I'd like to be able to have a small link on my sinatra app (run within Heroku) which says "running version e72fb274a0 " (or something similar). How can I retrieve this, or force the slug compiler to add it to an environment variable? PROGRESS: I reckon the best way to do this is to make a custom buildpack which writes the git commit version number to the heroku slug before the .git

I wonder how I could start a Ruby Rack application (such as Sinatra) and call it with Net::HTTP or similar in the same script. Of couse I could do something like... require 'sinatra/base' require 'net/http' t = Thread.new do class App < Sinatra::Base get '/' do 'Hi!' end end App.run! :host => 'localhost', :port => 1234 end sleep 2 puts Net::HTTP.start('localhost', 1234) { |http| http.get('/') }.body t.join puts 'Bye!' ...but it doesn't feel optimal to sleep for two seconds, waiting for Thin to start. What I need is some kind of callback when the server has started or does anybody have any

I'm having trouble changing the path that LESS uses to include imports. My routes file has get "/css/main.css" do less :main, :paths => ["public/css"] end However, if I include an external less file with @import in my stylesheet the LESS compiler cannot find the file. I've placed a copy in both the views path and public/css directories, but it still can't find it. It CAN however find plain .css files in public\css . I hit this today, and was able to solve it like so: require 'less' require 'sinatra/base' class App < Sinatra::Base # Make LESS @import statements work Less.paths << settings.views

I want my server to send a multipart response (multipart/x-mixed-replace). I'd prefer some kind of solution using the Sinatra framework or a generic Rack app, but any example in ruby would be nice. Here's the equivalent of what I'm trying to do, in PHP: <?php header('Content-type: multipart/x-mixed-replace;boundary="rn9012"'); print "--rn9012\n"; print "Content-type: application/xml\n\n"; print "<?xml version='1.0'?>\n"; print "<content>First Part</content>\n"; print "--rn9012\n"; flush(); sleep(5); print "Content-type: application/xml\n\n"; print "<?xml version='1.0'?>\n"; print "<content

Checked ActiveRecord, DataMapper, Sequel: some use globals (static variables) some require open db connection before loading source file with models. What ORM is better to use in sinatra application that uses different databases. DataMapper is designed for multi-database use. You can set up multiple repositories just by saying something like DataMapper.setup(:repository_one, "mysql://localhost/my_db_name") . DataMapper then tracks all the repositories that have been setup in a hash that you can reference and use for scoping: DataMapper.repository(:repository_one){ MyModel.all } (The default
