I have an interesting use case for Rails and I would greatly appreciate this community's opinion on the matter. I'm curious if it's possible to build a Rails app that can accomplish the following:
Environment stipulations ------------------------------------------------------------- * Must run on the JVM so JRuby. * The app will not have internet access in production. (We still have build servers that can package gems) Ideal functionality ------------------------------------------------------------- * The main Rails app should be able to support a variable amount of engines. * I have played with this and it can be done by tweaking the Gemfile to load the engines. * Downside is we now have to disregard the Gemfile.lock to accommodate additional engines being added at any time. * Engines should be drop-in ready. * The engines should come packaged with all the gems they need to run. * There should be no additional installing steps after dropping in an engine. * That means no 'bundle install' or anything else. So my major concern at the moment is with the gems. When I drop in an engine and restart the server is there a way bundler can pick up the packaged gems within the engine without any install step? Maybe playing with the GEM_PATH or something? Anyway I would like to hear your opinions and see if we can figure something out.
