For future reference.

I ran into trouble with inline templates ("Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory – /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/bundler-0.9.26/lib/bundler/views/index.haml"). Turned out it's caused by the inline templates I'm using.

This can be solved by adding "enable :inline_templates" in your Sinatra application.

Can someone have a look at the layout of this article please? It's hard to understand the different paragraphs… Thanks!

Actually I found that in remote_specification.rb _remote_uri should be:

def _remote_uri
"#{@source_uri}/quick/Marshal.4.8/#{full_name}.gemspec.rz"
end

instead of what is there. I'll fork and fix this bug if I get some time today.

What to do if the gem has a architecture specific stuff in the name like: http://gems.rubyforge.org/quick/Marshal.4.8/wxrub...

Glad it seems interesting. that is why I wrote sinatra_more for myself in the first place. I really missed the tag helpers, form helpers, named routes and some of the niceties of rails but I loved the lightweight feel of sinatra. Tried to strike a balance as best I could with the gem.

Yep, it leaves the code looking nice and tidy.

More importantly, it means you don't have to repeat yourself by saying "gem 'sinatra'", then "require 'sinatra'" later on, so it's impossible for the 'gem' statements and the 'require' statements to get out of sync.

I'm glad it was useful.

sinatra-more looks really interesting. I may have to start using that for its tag helpers; the last view I wrote in this Sinatra app, I was really missing the Merb/Rails-style form helpers.

Glad you like it, the guys work *really* hard on the code AND posts :) Thanks!

Thanks for this writeup which inspired me to integrate this with my sinatra projects. I also ended up baking in bundler support into my sinatra_more gem here: http://github.com/nesquena/sinatra_more . Now when you use the generator for a new application, it will transparently manage all dependencies using this method. Thanks again.
