Akshay Rawat 's post that refers to a video where all of my worries are presented along the reasons why I havent done much more than design and prototypes apps with document based DB and never in production.

Radha on #238 Mongoid (revised) 2012-07-29 12:38:12

Well i have had the same problems she is talking about at the design face, i have never implemented document base db because of all she said. Still i think things are changing because most node.s projects use mongodb and node.js's community is growing very fast.

You are both right and wrong. Redis is a memory-only key-value store, but you are free to specify dump intervals in your redis config where it saves its contents to disk. Check the docs for more.

Fyi, the mongoid_ancestry gem provides nearly the same feature set as the ancestry gem for active_record, but for mongoid. It has some gotchas but worth to check out.

Bent Cardan on #238 Mongoid (revised) 2012-07-28 22:37:10

However, there's been more out-of-the-box support for mongoid among popular authentication gems... If you want to introduce that type of logic with MongoMapper while doing very little typing in your text editor and still watch it all work, I recommend checking out Sorcery as a starting point. Sorcery jives with MongoMapper way better than things like Clearance or Devise. Obviously there's a gem for that but we've lost track of the the point here, because the real question we ought to consider is the extent ORMs are appropriate for engaging NoSQL data structures from Ruby. Maybe I'm missing something but it's tough for me to distinguish the key value store pattern from array or the ruby hash key/entry. Isn't MongoDB's driver the most natural map to data objects we handle in ruby? I tell you all, if it weren't for free validation methods and some active model hooks I wouldn't be able to care about Mongo ORMs.

Jason Ellis on #335 Deploying to a VPS (pro) 2012-07-28 20:58:08

The VPS I'm using is Media Template. Apparently they mount /tmp with noexec.. To resolve this;

Shell Commands 
umount /tmp;
su deployer
mkdir ~/tmp
exit
mount --bind ~/tmp /home/deployer/tmp

then go back and run rbenv install 1.9.3-p125 again.
Once done, just umount and reboot for it to put /tmp back as a noexec..

I tried to remove the noexec and remount but it wouldn't let me.. shrug

What i find a bit hard to implement in document base DB are trees and has_many through associations.

Kevin McCaughey on #155 Beginning with Cucumber 2012-07-28 11:05:11

This is horrendous - by the time you had written all the regex's for every bit of your code you could have written tests by hand much quicker. It is like you are making up regex'sa to explain english statements instead of logically doing something - seems really convoluted to me.

Am I not getting something? I was checking all over to see if this was a practical joke or something.

Paul Lee on #360 Facebook Authentication 2012-07-28 08:41:08

Hello everyone,

I followed the tutorial and got fb-connect working with localhost:3000. I am using version 1.4.0 as suggested in the comment above and am not using javascript popup. Now, when I uploaded my work on development server and click "sign in with facebook", I get

No route matches [GET] "/auth/facebook"

The only difference between localhost and dev server is the app on dev server has dev.mydomain.com:3000 as its domain and that's the domain I entered on fb app setting page. Is having a subdomain the problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Here are gems on both my localhost and dev server. Thanks!

Using oauth2 (0.8.0)
Using omniauth (1.1.0)
Using omniauth-oauth2 (1.0.3)
Using omniauth-facebook (1.4.0)

How I do fix that?

Uday on #302 In-Place Editing 2012-07-27 15:43:03

Hi Ryan, Indeed great screencast.

What would be the case if I dont want to specify the gender array in the /users/show.html.erb page as collection: [["Male", "Male"], ["Female", "Female"], ["", "Unspecified"]]

but rather define an array in the gender action inside the user class and reference it on show page?

def gender
['Male', 'Female']
end

and how to call these in the index using best_in_place syntax?

Thanks,

Andrey Esaulov on #335 Deploying to a VPS (pro) 2012-07-26 07:42:07

Problem

I've been fighting with that one for a while now. That is the cry for help. As suggested I've going through all the commands and executed them on the remote server.
The command that fails on the server is: 

sh -c "rm -rf /home/deployer/apps/blog/releases/20120726142915/public/assets &&\\\n        mkdir -p /home/deployer/apps/blog/releases/20120726142915/public &&\\\n        mkdir -p /home/deployer/apps/blog/shared/assets &&\\\n        ln -s /home/deployer/apps/blog/shared/assets /home/deployer/apps/blog/releases/20120726142915/public/assets"

It says: \n not found. As far as I can tell, it doesn't like the new lines. When I put them away manually - everything goes OK.

The interesting this is - the deployment script seem to execute this command OK, and it is the next one it stables upon (bundle install). Although when executing manually on the sever - bundles get installed OK.

What can it be? And how, and where, do I edit those new lines "\\n" out?
