setting Ramaze.options.mode

[Roy Wright]

Howdy!

What's your preferred method for setting Ramaze.options.mode for the
different runtime environments?

Basically the issue I'm looking at is using different database
connections for :dev, :live, and :test (also used for defining
middleware). I'm wanting to select the connection in app.rb before
requiring my models. The Ramaze.options.mode defaults to :dev. I can
set it to :test in my spec/spec_helper.rb and features/support/env.rb
before requiring app.rb. But how should I handle live deployments?

TIA,
Roy

Roy,

One way of doing this is by setting the mode in an environment
specific configuration file. For example, I typically create a config/
directory that contains a file config.rb. This file sets generic
configuration options such as the mode of Ramaze, what cache adapter to
use (for sessions and the like) and so on. In essence this would come
down to the following code for your app.rb file:

require 'ramaze'

require __DIR__('config/config')
require __DIR__('config/database')

# etc.

Thank you! I'll give that a shot.

I have something like this in my app.rb
(A more extended version of what Yorick presented already.)

---
if ENV['APP_ENV'] == 'production'
Ramaze.options.mode = :live
end

if Ramaze.options.mode == :live
require __DIR__('config/live')
else
require __DIR__('config/dev')
end
Ramaze::Log.info('We start in %s mode' % Ramaze.options.mode.to_s)
---

This can be extended to include :test too.
Also, you can use RACK_ENV if you really want.

Roy,

You can find an approach similar to Sta's one here :
https://github.com/mwlang/cashmere/blob/master/environment.rb

There are many other interesting bits in this project, regarding testing
(auth Mocking in app.rb), tasks and specs.

Bye,
