Hello,
I apologize for the repost, but I have not found help anywhere else...
My goal is to run a ControlTower instance (1) in MacRuby within a Cocoa app, i.e. using -[MacRuby evaluateFileAtPath:]
First question: Is this possible at all?
Second question:
I understand that my control script is the body to:
app = Rack::Builder.new { ... config ... }.to_app
but I have not figured out how to make an .rb file that will run a control tower instance.
Any help is appreciated!
Hi Alexander, I've got a MacRuby app happily running very happily with Control Tower. First I cloned the code from github, and built and installed the macgem package. Then I also installed rack with sudo macgem install rack in order to get some of Rack's built in server functionality. Then a short script would look like: require 'rubygems' require 'control_tower' require 'rack/utils' server_options = { :port => 3001, :host => '0.0.0.0', :concurrent => false } app = Rack::Builder.new do map "/" do run Rack::File.new("/Users/nick/Sites/") end end.to_app @s = ControlTower::Server.new(app, server_options) if @s puts 'Starting control tower webserver' @s.start else puts "ERROR: Couldnt build server" end This would run a server on port 3001, and expose the files found in your ~/Sites/ directory as top level files eg. ~/Sites/index.html becomes http://localhost:3001/index.html Of course you'd need to replace 'nick' with your user homedir name.
