= vegas
== DESCRIPTION:
Vegas aims to solve the simple problem of creating executable versions of Sinatra/Rack apps.
== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:
Currently, Vegas just includes a single class Vegas::Runner which wraps your Sinatra app to give it command line options, daemon-ization, PID/URL tracking, and browser launching.
Lets say you have a gem with a sinatra application. With Vegas you can create a bin that looks like
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
./bin/myapp
require File.expand_path(File.dirname(FILE) + "/../lib/myapp")
require 'vegas'
Vegas::Runner.new(Sinatra::Application, 'myapp')
See the website: http://code.quirkey.com/vegas for full usage/options.
=== WINDOWS:
Using vegas (and gems that depend on it) on Windows works but isn't 100% the same.
Daemon-ization and browser launching work, but you will see duplicate messages.
Some options might also be lost in the process. I suggest running Vegas apps
in windows with the -F (foreground) flag.
If you see a warning like:
expand_path': couldn't find HOME environment -- expanding ~/.vegas' (ArgumentError)
You have to set your HOME path:
c:> set HOME=%HOMEPATH%
== INSTALL:
