01:23 <philly-mac> Hi, anyone here have experience using the padrino-framework that sits on top of sinatra?

04:08 <huma> how do i get current app :env option?

05:09 <cypher23> huma, `settings.environment'

05:10 <cypher23> (`options' is an alias for settings)

05:12 <cypher23> huma, also, settings is only available from 0.9.5 onwards

05:13 <zelnick> hey, are there any helpers to make a (DELETE|PUT) Request from a view?

05:13 <harryv> zelnick: you can use the _method hack.

05:13 <cypher23> zelnick, in what sense? Via AJAX?

05:14 <zelnick> im trying to keep my application restful

05:15 <zelnick> so i just want to delete a resource in the db...

05:16 <cypher23> zelnick, as harryv said, just do a POST, and have a parameter called '_method' set to either 'put' or 'delete' depending on what you want to do

05:16 <zelnick> allright, thx guys

05:16 <cypher23> the MethodOverride Middleware will then convert the POST to the appropriate HTTP verb

05:16 <zelnick> thats how rails does it, right?

05:16 <harryv> yeah

05:16 <cypher23> they use the same middleware

05:17 <harryv> if you have a top level app it's enabled by default. if you subclass Sinatra::Base you have to `enable :method_override` (in some earlier version its :methodoverride iirc)

05:22 <zelnick> its, working thx :)

06:19 <santiago> hi all. i want to apply a filter only to certain routes, how to do that? is it possible at all?

06:20 <tbuehlmann> you have to check the route, if that wasn't changed

06:21 <santiago> check the route?

06:22 <namelessjon> In the before filter

06:23 <tbuehlmann> right, I assumed you are already working with it

06:45 <santiago> i don't know what it means to "check" the route

06:45 <santiago> anyways ...

06:45 <santiago> anyone with experience with sinatra in GAE?

06:46 <cypher23> santiago, if request.path =~ %r{/some/route}; ...; end

06:46 <cypher23> ^ check if it's the route you want to handle in your before filter

06:48 <santiago> :(

06:48 <santiago> could be something better

06:48 <santiago> anyone with experience deploying sinatra to GAE?

06:49 <cypher23> santiago, you can also define multiple handlers with the same route, and simply call `pass' if the handler thinks it can't handle the request

06:49 <cypher23> then sinatra will pass the request to the next handler with the same route

07:02 <huma> cypher23: thanks

07:03 <huma> also, the example is missing "type=hidden" at http://sinatra-book.gittr.com/#the_put_and_delete_methods :)

07:08 <pjammer> no no this is what i need. request.query_string

07:09 <SkramX> santiago: i know people who have deployed sinatra to GAE, what's wrong?

07:30 <santiago> SkramX: only route that works is '/', whenever i use another route GAE complains by telling the file does not exist

07:35 <SkramX> http://www.jzlabs.com/2009/05/18/sinatra-on-google-app-engine/ perhaps

07:35 <SkramX> in the changelog for 0.9.2, there were some GAE fixes

07:37 <santiago> i'm using 0.9.6

07:41 <cypher23> santiago, are your paths prefixed with a '/'?

07:41 <cypher23> ie., get '/foo/bar', or get 'foo/bar'?

07:41 <santiago> yes sir

07:41 <cypher23> try removing that

07:41 <santiago> prefixed with /

07:41 <santiago> remove the '/' ?

07:41 <cypher23> yeah

07:41 <cypher23> just test it with one URL

07:41 <santiago> ok, i'll check

07:42 <santiago> it is only happening with POST routes

07:49 <santiago> :(

07:49 <santiago> with GET work aright, the prob happen with POST routes

07:50 <cypher23> weird

07:50 <santiago> Mar 11, 2010 2:48:54 PM com.google.appengine.tools.development.LocalResourceFileServlet doGet

07:50 <santiago> WARNING: No file found for: /project.html

07:51 <santiago> the is the route "/project", later "project" as you suggested

07:51 <santiago> and then i do ...

07:51 <santiago> RestClient.post "http://localhost:8080/project", '{name:"First project", description:"First project created in GAE datastore"}'

07:52 <santiago> then i get the warning

07:52 <santiago> it seems that GAE is passing a GET request to sinatra, i think that because of this ... Mar 11, 2010 2:48:54 PM com.google.appengine.tools.development.LocalResourceFileServlet doGet

07:52 <santiago> doGet

07:55 <cypher23> santiago, I've never done anything with GAE (or jRuby, for that matter), so I can't help you there

08:28 <markwithout> is there a right way to do a `get /:id do` where the id param is optional? Can this be solved via regex or something?

08:29 <cypher23> `get %r{/(\d+)?}'

08:30 <harryv> … given the id is a number :)

08:30 <cypher23> yeah :)

08:32 <markwithout> cool thanks. \/ escape the forward though ;P

08:34 <cypher23> markwithout, what for?

08:35 <cypher23> that's why I used %r{}, so I didn't have to

08:36 <markwithout> oh, sorry. well, I suppose you learn something new every day

08:36 <cypher23> :)

08:36 <cypher23> %r{} is very useful with regex routes, because escaping every single / gets old quickly

08:37 <harryv> or %r|| or %r-- or whatever fits.

08:38 <cypher23> markwithout, http://www.zenspider.com/Languages/Ruby/QuickRef.html is always handy in such cases

08:39 <markwithout> thanks cypher23

09:00 <huma> cypher23: why is it not settings.env, btw? you set :env, but look for environment. not consistent.

09:01 <cypher23> no, you set :environment

09:02 <cypher23> huma, you can still `set :env, :foobar', but sinatra uses :environment

09:02 <huma> cypher23: yes, i've been looking at http://sinatra-book.gittr.com/#deployment_lighttpd

09:02 <harryv> it's deprecated. removed in 1.0

09:03 <huma> it says :env there

09:03 <huma> ok

09:03 <huma> i like :env better, though. less typing :)

09:07 <cypher23> huma, if you're typing 'environment' often enough that this is actually becoming an issue, you're probably doing something wrong :)

09:15 <huma> why did they change it anyway?

09:16 <harryv> it's more descriptive I guess.

09:17 <harryv> there's really no reason to shorten it, as you don't use it very often.

09:57 <huma> so, my layout.haml supposed to be in .views and all should work then?

10:02 <huma> except it doesn't. is something from this deprecated? http://sinatra-book.gittr.com/#layouts

10:06 <huma> ah, got it

11:15 <gp5st> hey! so, i erb :view and it's saying that the variables I use are undefined, but if I pp them before I call erb

11:24 <gp5st> they are set*

11:24 <gp5st> forgot that part

11:59 <pjammer> i do love how sinatra is all ruby-y. forces you to get back to ruby code, at it's core.

12:00 <ecin> pjammer: don't get that feeling with Rails?

12:01 <pjammer> yeah i do, but that's only when 'shit' hasn't been figured out yet.

12:01 <pjammer> like a helper here, or a weird validation there

12:01 <pjammer> with sinatra, it's all ruby. makes you a better man

12:02 <pjammer> except for the rack bits....

12:02 <pjammer> those are helper-esque.

12:29 <gp5st> i'm having an issue where things in the public folder cause sinatra to give a 404 :-\ any idea of why or how to fix it?

12:33 <sr> gp5st, enable :static ? also, see you have public/foo.png, you'd access it via /foo.png

12:33 <sr> s/see/say

12:33 <gp5st> it works for other things, but if i add a file it won't see it

12:33 <gp5st> sorry, i didn't mention that

12:33 <gp5st> i restarted the test server too

12:38 <gp5st> :-\ i made sure the perms were the same

12:40 <gp5st> nvm, i'm just stupid

16:44 <santiago> hi anyone with experience deploying to GAE?

17:48 <santiago> what would be a reason for gettin require': no such file to load -- ostruct (LoadError)

17:49 <johnny> you didn't require rubygems ?

17:50 <namelessjon> santiago: A messed up ruby install?

17:51 <santiago> yeh i commented out require 'rubygems'

17:51 <namelessjon> ostruct is part of the stdlib though

17:52 <santiago> but still

18:12 <Swimming_Bird> for some reason when i server up a sass file using sass :foo, :layout => false the browser doesnt parse it

18:13 <Swimming_Bird> but the same stylesheet served from public is parsed just fine

18:13 <Swimming_Bird> is there something i need to do to set the mime type?
