Opal::Server|SimpleServer|OpalSprocketsServer examples/ aren't working anymore

[ozpos]

Hi, Could someone please indicate where opal-11 is going w.r.t. rack/sinatra/config.ru ?
Or should I just stick with 0.10.5 stable ?

Or should I just give up all-together ?

@ozpos you can combine opal and sprockets by using opal-sprockets.

For 0.11 should be enough to add:

 gem 'opal-sprockets', '~> 0.4.1'

Let me know if you have hard to solve bundle conflicts (I'll close the issue meanwhile).

Been there weeks ago, just got depreciation warning saying use
Opal::Sprockets::Server - never got that to work and it breaks my
config.ru which works perfectly well with 0.10.0

Would it not be quicker for all if someone could fix the examples ?

[elia]

@ozpos I've updated the example in opal-sprockets, let me know if you encounter any other broken examples (as always PRs are encouraged! 😉)

[ozpos]

Sorry but I do not know what PRs are and sorry but the opal-sprockets example still fails for me with.

Using opal-sprockets 0.4.1.0.11.0.3.1 from source at `../`
Bundle updated!
$:~/RubymineProjects/web/opal-sprockets/example$ bundle exec rackup
Failed to load WithCLexer, using pure Ruby lexer

NameError: uninitialized constant Opal::Sprockets::Server
Did you mean?  Opal::Server

Unfortunately I cannot find a single example that works against any version of opal above 0.10.5. This includes opal-jquery that you pointed me to in another issue.

Should this be communicated under opal-sprockets #10 and #12 ?

[elia]

@ozpos the updated example is on opal-sprockets master and can be tried with these commands:

git clone https://github.com/opal/opal-sprockets.git
cd opal-sprockets/example
bundle install
rackup
# visit http://localhost:9292 with your browser

I'll publish the updated gem in the near future, meanwhile use the instructions above

Thanks, works now. Still do not know why it did not before.

I see that sprockets support has been in and out of opal and opal-sprockets throughout different versions of opal.

If in future sprockets are to be used through the opal-sprockets gem then should the opal gemfile also specify

sprockets_version = ENV['SPROCKETS_VERSION']

# Stick with older racc until
# https://github.com/tenderlove/racc/issues/22
# is solved.
gem 'racc', '< 1.4.10', platform: :jruby
gem 'json', '< 1.8.1',  platform: :ruby if RUBY_VERSION.to_f == 2.1
gem 'rack-test', '< 0.8' if RUBY_VERSION.to_f <= 2.0
gem 'rubysl', platform: :rbx
gem 'coveralls', platform: :mri
gem 'puma' # Some browsers have problems with WEBrick
gem 'rack', rack_version if rack_version
gem 'tilt', tilt_version if tilt_version
gem 'sprockets', sprockets_version if sprockets_version

sprockets directly ?

[elia]

you should put both opal and opal-sprockets in your gemfile, but you only need to specify the opal version.

gem 'opal', '~> 0.11.0'
gem 'opal-sprockets'

similar to the example in the opal-sprockets repo: https://github.com/opal/opal-sprockets/blob/32cde8638159a41ae10fbde2fe06f844451ff540/example/Gemfile

ps. by PRs I mean pull-requests, sorry for the confusion
