Comments on: Deploying a bundled merb app (merb 0.9.7+) http://merbist.com/2008/09/23/deploying-a-bundled-merb-app-merb-097/ Random thoughts of a software developer Sat, 31 Dec 2011 05:29:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Michael Klishin http://merbist.com/2008/09/23/deploying-a-bundled-merb-app-merb-097/comment-page-1/#comment-20 Michael Klishin Thu, 25 Sep 2008 07:18:12 +0000 http://merbist.com/?p=23#comment-20 By the way, Merb 1.1 or so is gonna have a deployment recipe plugin. I've used 2 recipes in the wild with both ActiveRecord and DataMapper migration tasks, so we just need to add one for Sequel and document the whole thing. Turn key deployment is part of post 1.0 Merb picture: flexible tool with lots of plugins for very rapid prototyping. By the way, Merb 1.1 or so is gonna have a deployment recipe plugin.

How exactly do you update without having to transfer the gems every time? @Matt, I must be missing something. How exactly do you update without having to transfer the gems every time?

just change
require ‘rubygems’
to
require ‘rubygems’
Gem.use_paths(“.”,[File.expand_path("#{File.dirname(__FILE__)}/..")]).pop
in #{root}/gems/bin/merb
and install your gems with
gem install -i #{root}/gems #–no-rdoc –no-ri, if you’re so inclined
and then of course, have to call merb as bin/merb

working is subject to rubygems not changing that, or you having already changed it somewhere else, but it’s worked for me without a hitch on many different machines, linux & win32.

so i’m sure that modifying this to exclude the system path properly wouldn’t be that hard.

If you don't want to have them bundled just install them system-wide. Otherwise you will have to always go to your gems folder and update it manually (which you can certainly do). Btw, if you use a cached deployment strategy like used in my recipe, your gems won't be transferred every time. -Matt @peter Why would you want to symlink your gems folder?

Make sure to update your local thor file: curl -L http://merbivore.com/merb.thor > merb.thor and don't forget to add it to your SCM ;) -Matt Some people told me on IRC that they did not have the merb:gems:redeploy thor task.

I just need this recipe to deploy my first Merb app too ;) Can't you symlink your gems folder also so you don't need transfer it in every deploy? Nice one Matt!!

Can’t you symlink your gems folder also so you don’t need transfer it in every deploy?
