Ideas for app
@opsb I set it up with capybara-webkit a headless webkit lib instead of poltergeist. Poltergeist is commented out in the Gemfile as well as in spec/spec_helper.rb if you want to switch. It doesn't matter to me, this is how my setup normally is.
You should add spinach too.
You will also see that I set the project up with haml. I use slim but thought I would pick something that more devs might know.
If anyone thinks it would be better to use ERB, that is fine. At this point my brain won't let me pick it as a default.
Compass and Twitter bootstrap are also installed. I like to do this to slowly ween myself off of bootstrap as the app develops. If anyone thinks this is overkill, let me know or just pull something out :D
Another thing is that I use a combination of guard and spork to make my testing cycles nicer. I also have included a spec/spec_helper_lite.rb file which doesn't load the rails framework. You can require it directly from your spec and then require the file that you are testing. It also has some sugar to require common file paths like lib or models.
I will drink less coffee for the rest of the week...
You have been busy... I've always used erb myself, just looked at slim though and I really like the syntax so that would be my choice.
I'm fairly new to Rails so I'd feel more comfortable with ERB (and as few plugins as reasonably possible in general)
I'm happy sticking with erb for this one. We can always move onto slim for future projects.
@pferdefleisch I've only got read only access to the tapatracker-server repo, can you bump my permissions.
I think I may push out a couple balsamiq wireframes by the end of the day. I will link to them here.
And I will be at Buzz tomorrow if anyone else feels like showing up. Have to get some "real" work done too though :)
I need to go into Buzz tomorrow, (need a spanish speaker to sort out my iranian passport for me...). I'll probably go in for the morning and stay around for lunch.
If everyone's on dropbox that would be a good place to keep balsamiq mockups etc.
I just created a dropbox shared folder and added @OPSD
@Others you can send me your email at [email protected]. I will share the folder with you when I get your email address
@vemv I updated the repo, removing HAML. As I wrote earlier, you should have push/pull access now
thanks Aaron for keeping it simple for me :)
getting RoR running via RVM. is that the way to go?
@vemv I use rbenv but there is probably more docs on rvm. I use rbenv because there's less magic but it's a bit harder to install unless you are using OSX. If you're running OSX you can use homebrew and type brew install rbenv ruby-build and after they are installed rbenv install 1.9.3-p194 to get the latest ruby. The other way is to clone the rbenv repo into $HOME/.rbenv, then create a folder called $HOME/.rbenv/plugins then clone the ruby-build repo in there git clone git://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build ~/.rbenv/plugins/
For anyone interested on getting a bit of a head start on Angular.js, here are a few screencasts. Looks pretty interesting, I am looking forward to it.

rbenv looks saner, will give it a try. managing versions particularly interests me because of JRuby - as a JVM guy I should try it out sooner or later.
Thanks! curious to know how for can one get in Ruby as for all things concurrency - that is one of my favorite topics in programming.
rbenv was pleasing to install. having to constanty run the rehash command sucks tho. http://www.stehem.net/2012/05/08/how-to-install-ruby-with-rbenv-on-ubuntu-12-04.html
K, I've added in spinach add omniauth. There's a spinach scenario for signup in tapatracker-server/features/scenarios/. It's currently setup for facebook connect but it's easy to switch to any oauth provider. I've added Getting started instructions to readme, it tells you how to get set up with poltergeist and facebook connect.
@vemv I find that I don't have to run rbenv rehash very often. I have aliased it to rr just in case but one must only run it when one installs new binaries which is mostly just on a new app generation or update.
I also have a bunch of bundler aliases like be, bu, bo etc. for bundle exec, bundle update, bundle open etc. I also have r aliased to bundle exec rails so I can do things like r g model Foo which I find saves me a lot of annoyances.
@opsb great!
@hcarreras I just added you to the organization.
@hcarreras send me an email at [email protected] so I can add you to the dropbox (please).
OK, after a couple of hours trying to get phonegap 2.0 to deploy to my iphone I gave up. 2.1 is the way forwards! I did a fresh install, set build options to Build Active Architecture Only and it worked first time.
@opsb did it build in the simulator?
@opsb I'll try on my mini
2.0 built in the simulator but wouldn't deploy to my iphone. 2.1 seems a lot more stable so far. Been having a play and it seems solid.
do I need this pow thing (I don't own a Mac) or can one get away without it? really don't know what is it exactly for.
No, you don't need pow. It's looking like we're not going to use oauth as it's difficult to use with phone gap. We want to concentrate on adding the features for taking photos/rating tapas etc so we'll do something simpler (sign up with username/password etc.).
I just created and pushed the scaffold of an app. https://github.com/granadajs/tapatracker-server
Installation
gem install bundlergit clone [email protected]:granadajs/tapatracker-server.gitcd tapatracker-serverbundle installbundle exec rake db:migratebundle exec unicorn_rails -p 3000You need SQLite3 installed on your system for this to run. I picked this database because it is usually pretty worry free to install, I have had issues getting postgresql installed on some people's systems.
If you are on windows, this probably won't work. I can help you if you need more instructions.
If you are on OSX, you will probably need to install XCode followed by a packaging manager like homebrew where you can then run
brew install sqlite3.
