Re: First time on Camping
I think the problem is that Builder don't know that you're using UTF-8, so it's just doing the safest thing and just escapes everything. But this shouldn't really be a problem, since the parser should handle it and treat every #225; as á. // Magnus Holm On Sat, Jun 19, 2010 at 15:53, Raimon Fernandez co...@montx.com wrote: Hi all, On 18jun, 2010, at 17:51 , Magnus Holm wrote: This shouldn't be a problem, because that's the way to add non-ASCII characters to XML documents.

Yeah, people always get a little confused because you don't need to define your database when you're using bin/camping (it has a default SQLite database at ~/.camping.db). I also see that there's some old, database code here; we definitely need to update our documentation (yes, I'm working on it!) First of all, the table name should be list_people (since people is the plural to person and the table names are always in lowercase), but you should rather do `create_table Person.table_name` and `drop_table Person.table_name` because then you don't need to think about it at all :-) Secondly, you only need this in order to create the database: def List.create List::Models.create_schema end Then it will use a SQLite database at ~/.camping.db (as long as you start it with `camping list.rb`). This is perfect for just testing things out (you can also run `camping -C list.rb` to get an IRB console). Please note that if you only run `camping list.rb`, you'll have to load the page in the browser before the migrations run.

Re: First time on Camping
Raimon a few things you probably already know but... just in case! 1. because of the preceding '.' in '.camping.db' you'll need to use ls - al to see the file listed (in the ~ home dir) in your file system. 2. In Magnus' example settings (database = list) you can also add a path to your database as well as its name (unless something's changed since I last did it!) e.g.: database = ./data/mydata.db 3. The Firefox SQLite Manager is handy for errr.. managing your SQLite database: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5817/ Note: with SQLite you cannot change column names once they're in the database (unless anyone knows better?).

Re: First time on Camping
Excellent!
Camping uses Rack, so it should be very simple to get it running on
any Ruby web server. Just create a config.ru like this:
require 'list'
List.create if List.respond_to?(:create) # call List.create if it exists
run List # and run the app!
Then you can start it with: `thin start` (when you're in the app directory)
One thing you'll have to remember is that any exceptions which are
raised, won't be rescued inside Camping, but rather be raised all the
way up. Thin (hopefully) catches it somewhere, but you should probably
handle it yourself:
module List
def r500(klass, method, exception)
# Do some funky things
There was an exception in #{klass}.#{method}: #{exception}
end
end
You could also use something like http://hoptoadapp.com/ (they have
free plans) which gives you a nice dashboard and sends you an email
every time an exception is raised. Just create an account, run `gem
install toadhopper` and add this to your app:
require 'toadhopper'
module List
ExceptionHandler = Toadhopper.new(YOUR API KEY)
def r500(klass, method, exception)
# Send the exception to Hoptoad:
ExceptionHandler.post!(exception)
# Render something for the user. You would probably want to render some XML
# so the client knows something went wrong.
There was an exception in #{klass}.#{method}: #{exception}
end
end

Re: First time on Camping
Hey Raimon, I see that you've been experimenting with Camping and Reststop lately, and just thought I should chime in a bit. You definitely don't *need* Reststop in order to achieve what you want, so it might be a good idea to just leave Reststop until it gets a little more robust. Let's see how we can tackle your problem with Camping only: For serving XML, you can use Builder (http://builder.rubyforge.org/). Here's a little helper for you: require 'camping' require 'builder' Camping.goes :App module App # We include the Views module so we can call them as methods. include Views module Helpers def xml(name) # We'll need to send this as text/xml @headers[Content-Type] = text/xml result = String.new # The builder takes a `target` where the XML will end up builder = Builder::XmlMarkup.new(:target = result, :indent = 2) # Generates a ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8 ? builder.instruct! # Calls the method you sent in, passing in the builder as an argument send(name, builder) # Return the restult result end end end If you for instance want to generate this XML: posts post title=Post titleContent of post/post /posts You would have the following view: module App::Views def posts(xml) xml.posts do @posts.each do |post| xml.post(post.content, :title = post.title) end end end end And if you want this XML: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? posts post titleHiya/title contentHey/content /post /posts You have this view: module App::Views def posts(xml) xml.posts do @posts.each do |post| xml.post do xml.title(post.title) xml.content(post.content) end end end end end - You render the XML in the controller like this: module App::Controllers class Index def get # The view has access to this variable @posts = Post.all # Calls the helper, which in turn calls the view xml :posts end end end That's (hopefully) the simplest way to generate XML with Camping. You still need to create a model to store/retrieve the data. Before we can help you here, we need to know a few things: Is it going to fetch data from a specific place, or should it create its own database (from scratch)? Any specific database you want to use? Here's a Pastie with all the code: http://pastie.org/1008983 (Should work on any version of Camping). // Magnus Holm On Tue, Jun 8, 2010 at 08:25, Raimon Fernandez co...@montx.com wrote: hi list, This is my first time here, my first time reading seriously something about Camping.

Something's not right with your rubygems install maybe try `gem update --system` first?
