I have an app file that looks like this ws_app.rb:
require 'rubygems'
require 'sinatra'
require 'sinatra/respond_to'
require 'dm-core'
require 'dm-migrations'
require 'dm-timestamps'
require 'json'
require 'csv'
load 'models/Battery.rb'
Sinatra::Application.register Sinatra::RespondTo
DataMapper::setup(:default,"sqlite3://#{Dir.pwd}/mpt_hmi.sqlite3")
class MPTHMI < Sinatra::Base
load 'controller/BatteryController.rb'
end
The modules/Battery.rb looks like this:
class Battery
include DataMapper::Resource
property :id, Serial
property :i_battery_manager_id, Integer
property :c_battery_number, String
property :c_battery_state, String
property :c_voltage_byte, String
property :i_voltage_int, Integer
property :i_temperature, Integer
property :i_resistance, Integer
property :i_capacity, Integer
property :i_cell_balancing_duration, Integer
property :i_total_cell_balancing_duration, Integer
property :i_age, Integer
property :i_time_to_service, Integer
property :created_at, DateTime
property :updated_at, DateTime
def to_my_json
{
:i_battery_manager_id => self.i_battery_manager_id,
:c_battery_number => self.c_battery_number,
:c_battery_state => self.c_battery_state,
:c_voltage_byte => self.c_voltage_byte,
:i_voltage_int => self.i_voltage_int,
:i_temperature => self.i_temperature,
:i_resistance => self.i_resistance,
:i_capacity => self.i_capacity,
:i_cell_balancing_duration => self.i_cell_balancing_duration,
:i_total_cell_balancing_duration => self.i_total_cell_balancing_duration,
:i_age => self.i_age,
:i_time_to_service => self.i_time_to_service
}
end
end
The controller/BatteryController.rb file looks like this:
get '/battery/:id' do
@battery = Battery.get(params[:id])
respond_to do |wants|
wants.html { erb :battery } # html
wants.json { @battery.to_my_json.to_s } # json
end
end
get '/batteries' do
@batteries = Battery.all
respond_to do |wants|
wants.html { erb :batteries } # html
wants.json {
@batteries.all.inject({}) { |hsh, obj|
hsh[obj.id] = obj.to_my_json
hsh
}.to_json
}
end
end
This works perfectly when I run Sinatra normally, like so:
$ ruby ws_app.rb
== Sinatra/1.3.2 has taken the stage on 4567 for development with backup from Thin
>> Thin web server (v1.3.1 codename Triple Espresso)
>> Maximum connections set to 1024
>> Listening on 0.0.0.0:4567, CTRL+C to stop
Then go here:
http://0.0.0.0:4567/battery/5.json
I get the JSON I'm expecting:
{:i_battery_manager_id=>1, :c_battery_number=>"5", :c_battery_state=>"3", :c_voltage_byte=>"145", :i_voltage_int=>191, :i_temperature=>107, :i_resistance=>81, :i_capacity=>228, :i_cell_balancing_duration=>127, :i_total_cell_balancing_duration=>37, :i_age=>111, :i_time_to_service=>211}
but I need to deploy this on a Cherokee web server, so I want to make a rack config.ru file for this...
So I have a file mpthmiws.rb which contains
load 'ws_app.rb'
MPTHMI.run
And a config.ru file which contains
load 'mpthmiws.rb'
run MPTHMI.new
When I run
$ rackup config.ru
>> Thin web server (v1.3.1 codename Triple Espresso)
>> Maximum connections set to 1024
>> Listening on 0.0.0.0:9292, CTRL+C to stop
and go here:
http://0.0.0.0:9292/battery/1.json
but then I get the famous, "Sinatra doesn't know this ditty - try get '/battery/1.json' do "Hello World" end
If I take the first route from the controller/BatteryController.rb file and put it inside HMIMPT class in the ws_app.rb file like this:
require 'rubygems'
require 'sinatra'
require 'sinatra/respond_to'
require 'dm-core'
require 'dm-migrations'
require 'dm-timestamps'
require 'json'
require 'csv'
load 'models/Battery.rb'
Sinatra::Application.register Sinatra::RespondTo
DataMapper::setup(:default,"sqlite3://#{Dir.pwd}/mpt_hmi.sqlite3")
class MPTHMI < Sinatra::Base
get '/battery/:id' do
@battery = Battery.get(params[:id])
respond_to do |wants|
wants.html { erb :battery } # html
wants.json { @battery.to_my_json.to_s } # json
end
end
end
I get this error:
undefined method `respond_to' for #<MPTHMI:0x00000001240a80>
How can I resolve this? Thanks
First of all, that thing with mpthmiws.rb and config.ru is overly complicated. Delete mpthmiws.rb and use this config.ru for use with rackup config.ru
:
require './ws_app'
run MPTHMI
If you want to run the App with plain old ruby ws_app.rb
, use this run.rb file:
require './ws_app'
MPTHMI.run!
Which brings us to the next point: NEVER EVER USE load
! It executes the code in the loaded file, but it does not bring over any defined variables, functions etc. Use require
instead! Here you must prefix the path with ./
or add ./
to $LOAD_PATH
, but in turn you can omit the .rb
extension.
Next is your BatteryController.rb file. It should look like this: require 'sinatra/respond_to'
class BatteryController < Sinatra::Base
register Sinatra::RespondTo
get '/battery/:id' do
# ...
end
get '/batteries' do
# ...
end
end
And this is also the point where you register
your extensions — in the class where you need it.
Now that we understand how load
works, you may already have noticed that you were not actually loading the get
blocks into the MPTHMI
class, but rather executing them outside of the class. That is the only reason why your app worked anyway with plain old ruby ws_app.rb
!
You can properly include your controller into a class with use
:
# require all your gems
# ...
require './models/Battery'
require './controller/BatteryController'
DataMapper::setup(:default,"sqlite3://#{Dir.pwd}/mpt_hmi.sqlite3")
class MPTHMI < Sinatra::Base
use BatteryController
end
You can also leave off the register
in here. Feel free to comment if you have further questions!
