ducktyped

I was so excited to play around with merb again. I just checked, and the first version of merb I used to prototype an app was 0.0.8 about a year ago. But I was so bummed out that after wanting to be all proper and upgrading all my gems, merb stopped working, no errors, no logs, no debug info, nothing.

After asking on IRC (impossibly late at night) without any luck, I dove into the (beautifully clear and manageable) source and figured out that the ‘parsetree’ gem was required, but not installed. So a quick sudo gem install parsetree, was all that I needed, and I’m back in business.

After I realized that parsetree was to blame, a quick search brought up the same problem addressed and solved on the Ruby mailing list: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/132766. But without knowing that the problem is parsetree related, how would you find this post. So again, for the crawlers merb 0.4.1 stops after “Compiling routes..”

I can’t wait to get some real work done now. :)
