Hobo - the web application builder for Rails

good work!

but: when i start server :

No such taglib: /home/fuyi/rubyapp/tests/app/views {:src=>”taglibs/auto/rapid/cards”, :type=>:include, :template_dir=>”app/views/taglibs”} /home/fuyi/rubyapp/tests/app/views/taglibs/auto/rapid/cards.dryml

when i use:
rake hobo:generatetaglibs
rake aborted!
Don’t know how to build task ‘hobo:generatetaglibs’

why?

i use ruby 1.9.2 & rails 3.0.0

Hobo appears to require Arel but it doesn’t install as a dependency:

OK. After I installed the Arel gem i get to create an app. The wizard is very nice.

I am able to bring up the app and create my user, but when I switch from “Guest” to my user using the selectorL

No route matches “/dev/index/setcurrentuser”
http://screencast.com/t/N2YwN2Yy

I tested using Ruby 1.9.2RC2 and Rails 3.0.0

I got this error after testing this and adding the first user..

Any ideas?

Routing Error

No route matches {:controller=>”admin/users”, :action=>”show”}

Just wantet to add that, the error happens if I choose a invite only site.

Hobo Command Line Interface 1.3.0.pre8

Error -> Row 47 initialise error in command.rb

Error Type -> “No such file or directory – tmp/hoboapptemplate (Errno: ENOENT)

1.3.0pre9 appears to clear up most problems so far…

pre12 is looking great so far…

Windows users might find this useful:

When running ‘hobo new app_name’ I’ve got the following error message:

%rubyinstallpath%/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/hobosupport-1.3.0.pre13/lib/hobosupport/command.rb:53:in `initialize’: No such file or directory – /tmp/hoboapptemplate (Errno::ENOENT)

I read command.rb and noticed that it tries to create a file hoboapptemplate in /tmp, which us Windows users don’t have.

Changing line 52 to the following got hobo working for me:
templatepath = “c:/Temp/hoboapp_template”

Hope this helps anyone who had trouble with it..

pre13 looks good so far for me.

this error on create first register:

super from singleton method that is defined to multiple classes is not supported; this will be fixed in 1.9.3 or later..

env:
win xp,512 kb ram
rails 3.0.0
ruby 1.9.2p0 (2010-08-18) [i386-mingw32]
gem 1.3.7
Hobo Command Line Interface 1.3.0.pre14

switch to linux???

Quikin: I saw a post on hobo users group on google. The problem seems to be on using ruby 1.9.2. Use ruby 1.8.7 instead! Cheers.

thanks jac

pre15 looks great except for using app.en.yml for changing class and filed names. Domizio has a patch which be released in the next version.

pre16 looks great so far. Having some issues with STI so. autoactionsfor :assessment, [:create] does override routes. the first STI subclass controller wins the game and routes from the base class to the subclass controller :-( deleting the STI subclass controllers kills the views

FYI – I received an error after creating a new application and selecting y to run the wizard from a command line prompt on a windows machine -

the procedure entry point sqllite3backupfinish could not be located in the dynamic link library sqllite3.dll

I haven’t investigated it at all yet, but I did want to let you know about it.

Sorry about that double post. Anyway, I solved that error by installing Sqlite. Here is a link to the information for Windows users in case anyone else needs it.

I just want to know when the 1.3 final version can be released ?

I was trying to upload newly created app to Heroku (sqlite commented out from Gemfile) and got Error 500.
Logs show:
“….
ActionView::Template::Error (undefined method `name’ for nil:NilClass):
13:
14: <% if User.count == 0 -%>
…..”

Any way to make it running at Heroku (it’s ok locally)?

Done! :-)

These are simple steps for installation of Hobo 1.3 on Trisquel GNU.-

sudo aptitude install ruby-full build-essential
ruby -v
wget -c http://production.cf.rubygems.org/rubygems/rubygems-1.5.2.tgz
tar xvzf rubygems-1.5.2.tgz
cd ../rubygems-1.5.2/
sudo ruby setup.rb
sudo aptitude install sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev
sudo gem install sqlite3
hobo new myapp
cd myapp/
rails server

Interesting problem. Using pre26, I hit the following logical problem:

1. Create a new test app using this set of instructions, running on my laptop. I followed all the way through the weezard, and selected “completely private site” and “e-mail confirmation” options.

2. Created the admin user.

3. Invited a new user. Logged out.

4. Copied the accept link out of the Terminal (since I’m not able to send mail here) and pasted it into the browser. Got redirected to the login screen.

5. Tried to log in as the new user, but that failed since I don’t have a password yet as that user.

6. Logged in as admin, and was immediately redirected to the Accept Invitation page.

So clearly, the accept action needs to be more lenient, it can’t be (by default) restricted to logged in users only, or else there’s no way to confirm an invitation. I’m digging through the source to fix that now, but you might want to change that for the defaults.

Thanks, and really excited to try this out and see how it works for me.

Hi, I tried to install hobo 1.3 pre version.
I typed
$ gem install hobo –pre

But, I get the following:
ERROR: Could not find a valid gem ‘hobo’ (>= 0) in any repository
ERROR: Possible alternatives: hobo

Does anyone know where is the new repo for hobo 1.3 pre?
thanks,

Hi Raymond,
I think you need –pre (with 2 – )

$gem install hobo –pre

(it works for me with RVM on Mac )

I had the same problem as Raymond – “Could not find a valid gem ‘hobo’ (>=0) in any repository” and found a fix…

I removed all gem remote sources other than rubygems…

This worked for me on Windows 7 (x64).
