Problem running Agility tutorial

[devel]

Hi all,

I'm new to Hobo and so far I love what I've read. I'm trying to
replicate the Agility tutorial on the site but I can't seem to be able
to create the hobo application folder.

I installed by running 'gem install hobo' and then

37:rails $ hobo agility

Any ideas? I'm really eager to start using it asap.

Thanks to solar on the IRC, I was informed that the hobo gem is
outdated. Instead, the process should be to:

1) rails {app}
2) cd {app}
3) git clone git://github.com/tablatom/hobo vendor/hobo
4) optionally rm -rf vendor/hobo/.git
5) run vendor/hobo/script/symlink_plugins

Now, there seems to be a problem with #5 because it incorrectly setup
the symlinks for me, so what I would recommend (in the meantime):

5) cd vendor/plugins
5a) ln -s ../hobo/hobo vendor/plugins/.
5b) ln -s ../hobo/hobofields vendor/plugins/.
5c) ln -s ../hobo/hobosupport vendor/plugins/.

And that should get a working hobo application directory.

Now, according to the docs, if you want to get the bare bones
application started, you then need to:

script/generate hobo --add-routes
script/generate hobo_rapid

However, after I do this, I start Mongrel, and I point the browser to
http://localhost:3000/, it shows the standard Rails index.html page. I
then removed the index.html file and after I refresh the browser, I
get a Routing Error (even after restarting Mongrel). So, I assume
there's still something I'm missing.

If anyone has any comments, I would highly appreciate it.

Thanks

http://hobocentral.net/blog/getting-started/

is the page I used to get my first app that didn't use the gem going.
The post is a bit old but it helped me out. I don't recall if there
were other things that I needed to do to get going or not... but the
error messages were enough for me to figure those parts out.

Now that we've discovered that plugins work fine from subdirectories
of vendor/plugins, this can be simplified:

1) rails {app}
2) cd {app}

3) git clone git://github.com/tablatom/hobo vendor/plugins/hobo # <--
changed
4) optionally rm -rf vendor/plugins/hobo/.git
5) # skip 5

If you want the front page you need to run

./script/generate hobo_front_controller front

Have a look at the script in hobo/bin/hobo to see the full set of
generators that get run when you do the hobo command

I'm slowly and painfully making some progress. Hope my efforts help :)

Looking through the code and scattered docs, the script/generate hobo
--add-routes does it work just fine. However, something is still
missing. I started reading through the sources and came across vendor/
plugins/hobo/bin/hobo script which seems to be what the hobo command
line interface offered by gem install hobo offered.

Now, since the gem is outdated and I'm installing hobo as a local
application vendor plugin, I had to make some adjustments in order to
properly use it. So, here is what I did:

mkdir -p agility/vendor/plugins
git clone git://github.com/tablatom/hobo.git agility/vendor/hobo && rm
-rf agility/vendor/hobo/.git
cd agility/vendor/plugins
ln -s ../hobo/hobo .
ln -s ../hobo/hobofields .
ln -s ../hobo/hobosupport .
cd ../../..
./agility/vendor/plugins/hobo/bin/hobo agility

This installed all the rails stuff and then executed a bunch of ./
script/generate hobo stuff (including a User model).

I then had to:

cd agility
./script/generate hobo_migration
(you will need to respond 'm' and then give a migration name)
rake db:migrate
./script/server

And voila! Now pointing my browser to http://localhost:3000/ works
like a charm.

I guess this may be a bit confusing for beginners. Maybe if I
installed the git repository as a ruby gem it would all be a lot
simpler, but I'm not too familiar how to do that.

Anyway, I hope this helps others. I'll continue on my quest to
learning hobo.

Thanks for posting this. We'll get the 0.8 release out real soon now
and things will all be rosy again : )

Hi Tom,

I'm glad my efforts may benefit others (I don't know if you guys were
already aware of these issues).

Anyway, I dove into Hobo being aware of the scattered (and possibly
somewhat lacking) documentation and ready to dig in in order to get
going. I just wasn't expecting that even to start it up was going to
take me this long :) Anyway, it's all fun.

Thanks
