A quick search leads me to this nginx.vim. The instructions say to add that file to ~/.vim/syntax. Since I’m using Janus, any modifications should be done on ~/.janus and not on ~/.vim. However, adding nginx.vim to ~/.janus doesn’t work. You should instead make a new directory on ~/.janus and add a syntax subdirectory.

mkdir -p ~/.janus/nginx/syntax
cp /path/to/nginx.vim ~/.janus/nginx/syntax/

Then on your ~/.vimrc.after add au BufRead,BufNewFile *.conf set ft=nginx

I followed the instructions on how to upgrade Janus. I ran curl -Lo- http://bit.ly/janus-bootstrap | bash and expected everything to work. I typed mvim and got this

Error detected while processing function janus#load_pathogen:
line    3:
E484: Can't open file /Users/crigor/.vim/janus/vim/core/pathogen/autoload/pathogen.vim

True enough that file doesn’t exist. In fact, the directory /Users/crigor/.vim/janus/vim/core/pathogen/autoload doesn’t exist. After checking the source code of Janus, I found out that pathogen is a git submodule. Something is not set up correctly if the submodule doesn’t exist. Maybe it’s time to look at the output of that curl command.

Aha! I didn’t notice that there was a git error when I installed Janus.

fatal: reference is not a tree: 47e897d92f47196017ab00281919a8bcd71e1cd3
Unable to checkout '47e897d92f47196017ab00281919a8bcd71e1cd3' in submodule path 'janus/vim/colors/getafe'

Instead of trying to find out what’s wrong with that submodule, I just deleted it with

1

git rm janus/vim/colors/getafe

. Then I didn’t want to run rake on the ~/.vim because that would just clone the Janus repo again and try to install the getafe submodule. I ran

1
2

git submodule init
git submodule update

After all the submodules were updated, including the pathogen submodule, I ran

1

rake install

After I added a few custom settings on ~/.vimrc.before and ~/.vimrc.after, my new macvim environment is set.

Brian also wrote a blog post about it today. http://rubini.us/2011/10/18/contributing-to-rubinius/

rvm install rbx rvm use rbx gem install bundler cd myapplication rm Gemfile.lock bundle install

Rubinius is written in Ruby. One of the advantages of this is optimization. Your code, plus the code that runs your code can be optimized which will make your code faster. In reality though, you still need to test your app with Rubinius and compare its speed when running MRI.

Installing cucumber-rails (1.0.4) Invalid gemspec in [/Users/crigor/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180@ss/specifications/cucumber-rails-1.0.4.gemspec]: Illformed requirement ["#<Syck::DefaultKey:0x00000100e779e8> 0.7.2"]

Installing database_cleaner (0.6.7) Invalid gemspec in
[/Users/crigor/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180@ss/specifications/cucumber-rails-1.0.4.gemspec]: Illformed requirement ["#<Syck::DefaultKey:0x00000100e779e8> 0.7.2"]

Check out http://blog.rubygems.org/2011/08/31/shaving-the-yaml-yacc.html to get the details. After upgrading rubygems to 1.8.10, I was able to install database_cleaner but I was still getting an error for cucumber-rails. The solution is to open /Users/crigor/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180@ss/specifications/cucumber-rails-1.0.4.gemspec and change

1

#<Syck::DefaultKey:0x00000100e779e8>

to =. If you’re using vim, just run

A rack middleware is a class that needs an initialize method and a call method. The initialize method has at least one argument, the application. This application can be another middleware on the ‘chain’ or the rack application.

1

def initialize(app)
  @app = app
end

The call method has one argument, the environment and should return an array with 3 elements - the status, the headers, and the body. The status should be an integer, the headers should respond to each, and the body should respond to each as well.

  def call(env)
    if env['PATH_INFO'] == '/rubyinfo'
      Rack::Response.new([$".join("<br />")], 200).to_a
    else
      @app.call(env) 
    end
  end

In this example, the middleware will check if the request is for /rubyinfo. If it is, it will return a response. If it’s not, it will pass the request to the rack application.

To add a rack middleware, use ‘use’

use RubyInfo
run MyRackApplication

end
files += Dir.glob("#{lib_path}/*.rb")
files.each do |file|
  require file.sub(matcher, '\1')

Adding RAILS_ROOT/lib to config.eager_load_paths doesn’t work. If there is a better way, let me know in the comments.

Download and install the Portfile

git clone git://github.com:crigor/admoolabs-ports.git ports
cd ports/nginx-0.7.64-passenger-2.2.8
sudo port -v install

You need to have ruby installed to compile passenger. In case you don’t have ruby, you can also get it from macports.

1

sudo port -v install ruby

If you have an older version of nginx installed using macports, it might move nginx.conf to nginx.conf.altered. Copy it back to nginx.conf if you need it. You can also use this nginx.conf.

Edit /opt/local/etc/nginx.conf and add the following lines inside http {}

1
2

passenger_root /opt/local/lib/passenger;
passenger_ruby /opt/local/bin/ruby;

Change the ruby path if you’re not using ruby from macports.

For each rails app, you need to add the following, also inside http {}

server {
  server_name labs.local;
  root /Users/crigor/admoolabs/labs/public;

  error_log /opt/local/var/log/nginx/labs.local.error.log;
  passenger_enabled on;
  rails_env development;
}

Check if your syntax is correct.

1

sudo /opt/local/sbin/nginx -t

If it is, you’ll see

1
2

the configuration file /opt/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
configuration file /opt/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

Start nginx with

1

sudo /opt/local/sbin/nginx

You won’t get any output if it starts correctly. Check if nginx is running

ps -e | grep nginx -i
(You should see something like these lines)
nginx: master process /opt/local/sbin/nginx
nginx: worker process

MacPorts added a startup item which is disabled by default. To start it,

1

sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.nginx.plist

You can stop nginx with

1

sudo launchctl stop org.macports.nginx

but it would just be started right away. If you want it to remain stopped, use

1

sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.nginx.plist

When you make changes to the config, reload the config with

1

sudo /opt/local/sbin/nginx -s reload

Check the other nginx options using

1

/opt/local/sbin/nginx -h

One more thing… When you add a rails or rack app, you need to specify a different server_name. You need to add it to /etc/hosts

1

127.0.0.1 localhost labs.local

Don’t you think it would be great if you can handle this automatically? Me too. Stay tuned for more. This shouldn’t be a pane pain. ;)
