  1. gem install camping --source http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/
    • Installs the regular camping.rb.
    • ... and dependencies activerecord, markaby and metaid.
  2. For an example, see the blog.

Update:

Update: Field Office Outpost Bravo Bravo reports.

Update: Ranger Douglas has sent word.

Many rangers, myself included, returned from their morning jaunt to find this tiny yarn insignia fastened to their ranger doors without explanation. It seems peaceful, like something Camping would do, but you never know. Radicals often portray future animal executions in the simplest of strokes.

Camping has not had the time or inclination to rate and classify this message, so it is being displayed in its true, unfiltered form.

Update: Reader Justin Heat sent in this awful photo.

He says, “At my aunt’s viewing. Snapped a pic for you with my Treo 650.”

Off-topic. And NOT funny. Let’s start focusing on getting through this day before we talk about this kind of stuff. For crying out loud.

Update: What luck, this month’s Boy’s Life has a feature story for PDF subscribers only. Very in-depth. An excerpt:

Update: from #camping.

 20:11 <goalie> can camping do e-commerce?
 20:11 <_why> no, use rails
 20:11 <RangerCliff> heh wtf?
 20:13 <goalie> it's just a small store, we only have two products
 20:13 <goalie> root beer lip balm and cream soda lip balm
 20:13 * _why contemplates
 20:14 <goalie> mail-order only
 20:14 <_why> now you're talking!!

Update: 2006 uniforms are in.

Update:

Update: You may now clip the following article from your handbooks, the Camping Phys Ed staff has ejected it from the curriculum!

Update:

If you’ve come to this site looking for the Dog Scouts, or if you’ve never heard of Dog Scouts and would like to sign your dog (or dogs) up for Dog Scouts, please click on the image of the Geocaching 3 Merit Badge for Dogs (to your right, my left) and you will be whisked away to the correct site.

If you are looking for Doggles, they can be found here.

Matthew Cartwright from Aberdeen, WA, writes in:

My nine-year-old daughter has been captivated with Camping over the last day or so. We even got her a little tackle box to put all her supplies in. Her excitement really came to a crescendo when she read your story about Ranger Cliff hanging out in IRC. She’s been non-stop Ranger Cliff all morning.

Anyway, she’s now filming a stop-motion film about the wedding of Ranger Cliff, I’m including a still frame I just snapped over her shoulder. Ranger Cliff is the little, rotund, dark fellow.

Great work, Katy! You’ve nailed the Ranger. His balance is abyssmal.

Update: Photos are piling up on Flickr now that everyone’s back from CampingCamp, held last night at Ranger Mayhew’s house in Minneapolis. Jealous.

Alex Chanticlair took the following photo and adds:

Troops 142 and 146 were in attendance. Many a glowstick was had. I know it looks alot like a rave, but believe me, it’s a very safe, very loving environment, sort of like a rave, but with root beer and cream soda lip balms instead of Roofies or Vitamin K. Actually, Roofies are still pretty common at conventions, but usually those people are under the table and don’t pollute the general mood of self-photography.

Update: 100 bytes have been shaved from Camping 1.1. Update through gems or wherever.

Two steps to get Camping working under Lighttpd+FastCGI. At the bottom of your application script (blog.rb):

 if __FILE__ == $0
   require 'fcgi'
   Dir.chdir(File.dirname(__FILE__))
   Camping::Models::Base.establish_connection 
     :adapter => 'sqlite3', :database => 'blog3.db'
   Camping::Models::Base.logger = Logger.new('camping.log')
   FCGI.each do |req|
     ENV.replace req.env
     Camping.run(req.in, req.out)
     req.finish
   end
 end

A suitable lighttpd.conf would look like:

 server.port                 = 3044
 server.bind                 = "127.0.0.1" 
 server.modules              = ( "mod_fastcgi" )
 server.document-root        = "/var/camping/blog/" 
 server.errorlog             = "/var/camping/blog/error.log" 

 #### fastcgi module
 fastcgi.server = ( "/" => ( 
   "localhost" => ( 
     "socket" => "/tmp/camping-blog.socket",
     "bin-path" => "/var/camping/blog/blog.rb",
     "check-local" => "disable",
     "max-procs" => 1 ) ) )

The check-local directive is vital to make sure lighttpd passes all the requests into blog.rb without throwing a 404.

Update:

Update: Reader Bill Atley writes in:

This afternoon I was at my grandfather’s house (I’m his primary caretaker) and midway through a corn feeding, I look over and this little mouse has taken the stage on a bit of carpet over by the television, no idea where he got the little mike, but he started belting away—Walk This Way, Sweet Child of Mine—classic stuff! I swear, it has to be related!

Thanks, Bill. It has to be related.

Hot tip! Give the new symmetrical R is for Routing method a try, it’s in trunk or the 1.1.18 gem on http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/ (still at 3.2k!)

Pave routes with Controllers::R:

 module Camping::Controllers
   class BlogEdit < R '/edit/(\d+)'; end
 edn

Find a Route backwards inside controller and view methods with Helpers::R:

 def Camping::Views.all_posts
   for post in @posts
     a :href => R(BlogEdit, post)
   end
 end

Also works in redirects:

 redirect R(BlogEdit, 2)

One breakage overnight: if a controller and a model are named identically, you’ll need to refer to the model as Models::Blog inside the controller. See the blogging app.

Update: The Florida Friends of Camping want to send out an alert to the vast throngs of bedraggled and disenfranchised coders who don’t fathom Camping, don’t care about it and are hurt that it is even trying to do anything.

Many dogs are out of work and remain unemployed for years on end. Their prospects are weak and many humans lack the patience to help the canine hunt through Craigslist. (The mouse peripheral was specifically designed without paws in mind.) Yet, many of these dogs are our best asset when faced with that initial first stab through Camping. Call us! Our dogs are lined up right now, outside the facility, with their honorary green scarves blowing in the wind, ready to embark on a walking tour of up to 4k. It’s your enjoyment that’s at stake here!

very interesting indeed.

This is awesome. I too have been tinkering with taking the rails and MVC concepts but making something smaller and lighter for use in small projects especially.

I’m thinking that you add in moo.fx and moo.ajax and you’ve got a great framework in very little code.

Amr

said on 18 Jan 2006 at 15:47

I think this will be extremely helpful in rapid prototyping of webapps without selling out on the MVC concepts.

Its small size means even I can attempt to wrap my head around the whole thing. Bravo!

said on 19 Jan 2006 at 13:12

I have a version of camping.rb that connects to Webrick via mount_proc… meaning it’s all loaded once (kinda like FCGI ) and stays resident rather than re-loading and executing each time.

It’s fast. :-)

I pass request and response to Camping.run and it uses them for input and outpue rather than ENV and puts.

If you’re interested, I’m #camping. :-)

Camping is more similar to Nitro than Rails, the blog example could almost work in Nitro out of the box. Moreover, I think Og is a better match to Camping than AR. Camping seems to follow an ‘all-ruby’ philosophy. Og allows you to use standard Ruby objects and get rid of the .sql file

Yes, But does it scale?!

dreamer3

said on 20 Jan 2006 at 15:24

Actually it scales worse today than it did yesterday. That’s the truth… from 10 req/s down to only four.

Why: You’ve gotta do something about creating and modifying that new Markaby class on the fly inside markaby… it’s just too expensive… For every request with a normal render you have to pay that code twice (the actual render, then layout).

Even NotFound has 3 calls that would trigger method_missing and hence markaby… though I’m not sure if some magic protects the h1 and h2 because they’re inside the div (I see no other reason you did that)...

I think I understand why (to get at the current scope’s / method), but I think we need another solution. I trust you’re already aware of the problem and working on a solution. :-)

why

said on 20 Jan 2006 at 16:17

File uploads work now. About a hundred and fifty bytes of code spent.

The div does protect the calls. I’ve done a bit of speed-up to Markaby by generating the Camping::Mab class in advance.

To attempt to clarify and augment what TruRube and Mr. McBiscuit have been saying, on Windows, Camping doesn’t seem to work. Running “ruby start” starts just fine, but when one tries to connect, the web browser (and webrick) complains about a premature end to (blog.rb’s) script headers. Error 500, to be specific. Executing blog.rb used to produce HTML just fine, but now complains that “sqllite3” is a MissingSourceFile. These results are from Ruby 1.8.2, the latest Camping (1.2.37), and the Blog example files (revision 39).

why

said on 25 Jan 2006 at 01:23

Okay, hang in there. I’ve got another upgrade for you and some tips.

 gem install camping --source code.whytheluckystiff.net

As far as getting SQLite3 working on Windows, please see the Camping wiki. There’s a rule of thumb about installing SQLite3 properly. It’s an evasive little creature.

Lastly, the newest gem comes with a camping utility for starting applications in a jiffy. Try downloading the latest blog.rb, then:

 camping blog.rb

It’ll start up on port 3301. The username is admin and password camping.

Running under Win XP , I too have the same problem as DOH i.e.

Blog Problem! Blog::Controllers::Login.POST ArgumentError wrong number of arguments (2 for 1): etc….

  • ./blog.rb:112:in `method_missing’
  • ./blog.rb:112:in `post’

Any ideas ?

Is fixed today in 1.2.46. I’m moving to use a HashWithIndifferentAccess and the `method_missing’ problem occurs when the blog tries to set a cookie.

Hey man, I want some of whatever you’re taking!

Incredible framework & presentation. Would def. come in handy for those mini-projects where even Rails is overkill.

Why, are you an Orz?

You seem to like *camping* at the *playground*

I was having problems, on Windows, with the various individual files as well (home_page, blog). Try Examples/serve. This worked great!
  • Wiki/tepee requires acts_as_versioned.
  • Charts requires Rmagick (use RMagick-win32 for Windows).

Note: you might need ver. 1.2.42, or better. The magic started happening for me after the upgrade to this version. It may have just been coincidental – I had finally learned enough to earn my first merit badge.

Controllers::R is sick!

Slipping an anonymous class into the unsuspecting inheritance chain, just to have its inherited method called …

Almost overheated my poor little brain trying to understand it.

I love it! :)

dvoodoo: Agreed. It was very fun (and yet a bit frightening) to explain to my pythonista friend what happens in there ;)

So I got everything up and running and I tried to run the blog app, but why is Safari downloading a file called ‘download’ that contains the HTML for the page I am trying to visit? Curious…

Any ideas?

If it helps, I do get an error from WEBrick saying that the constant ‘RAILS_CONNECTION_ADAPTERS’ has already been initialized.

Try updating to the latest:

 gem install camping --source code.whytheluckystiff.net

It was a bug which was keeping text/html from being the default Content-Type.

Can one run Camping on Windows CE? and with Firebird (with FireRuby)?

Darn. Bring http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/camping/ back online, will ya?

The code might be small, but unfortunately camping is a memory hog. After serving a few hundred requests of the example on the wiki (a few static pages, no ActiveRecord, with Webrick), the process has grown to 14MB. That’s not a lot less than a full Rails process.
