RR3WHobo BETA-5: 2011-05-03 Error: Page 143 "config.hobo.app_name key is found in the config/application.rb file"

[Michael Q]

I can't find a config.hobo.app_name key in the config/application.rb file.
In fact I can't where the app name is defined. I've tried a search of the whole project for my app name string and can't find it's master (DRY )definition, only derivative references.

Can anyone please explain where the app name is defined?

Thanks

I'm not 100% sure how Hobo determines the app name by default, perhaps its based on the directory name the app is in.  However to set the app name to whatever you want just add it to to the application.rb in the config dir.

config.hobo.app_name = "Your costume app name"

Note you'll need to restart the app server to get it to actually show up in the app.

As Bob said, you must restart the app for it to apply...

Thanks Bob & Owen,

I just wanted to point out that the text is a bit misleading because the config.hobo.app_name key is not already in that file by default. This caused me some confusion because I was looking for a key which it is suggested is generated by Hobo and should already be there. Perhaps the wording should be changed from:

"config.hobo.app_name key is found in the config/application.rb file"

to something like

"a config.hobo.app_name key may be added to config/application.rb file to change the app name"

You are right--will change that to be less confusing!

In keeping with other typical Rails practices, it would make sense to add an example line in, but commented out - for example, like this bit from production.rb:

# Specifies the header that your server uses for sending files
config.action_dispatch.x_sendfile_header = "X-Sendfile"

# For nginx:
# config.action_dispatch.x_sendfile_header = 'X-Accel-Redirect'

# If you have no front-end server that supports something like X-Sendfile,
# just comment this out and Rails will serve the files
