question about development

[dallas]

First of all, are there specific "environments" that the app can be run in (e.g. dev, test, pro)? If there are, those should be better documented. Also, is there a way to turn off caching when running on a local system? The reason I ask is that I can only assume that caching is what is causing my bizarre issue: both of my test posts have the same date, even though the first one is the default post that comes with this app (dated 1900-05-17). When I load up the app in my browser, they both say February 5th 2010 and thus the first one (the 1900-05-17 one) has a broken link.

Environments is the next thing on my list, it's not there yet. I'm planning on using ENV['RACK_ENV'] when I implement this.

Concerning your problem: make sure the file-names and the dates match up, that might be the source of the problem, if it's not the caching.

Environments are implemented, can be accessed with Toto.env, and uses ENV['RACK_ENV'] which defaults to prod on heroku, and development locally.

excellent, thank you!
