Inspired by this, here's a solution to the same problem that also works for Emacs 23, and doesn't require any elisp or modifications to emacs itself:

bq. I don’t need to make server backups of the repositories anymore

It might not be a bad idea to make some of your own backups once in a while, GitHub isn't foolproof either (;

Hi,

I saw a ton of people having problem in getting SqlSessionStore up and running - Track ticket 6.

I faced the same problem and solved it by following the README and by installing mysql-ruby-2.7.2 from http://www.tmtm.org/en/mysql/r...

I tried adding this to Trac ticket itself but my comment was being rejected as spam - and all the related posts had comments disabled... to didnt knew how to report the fix (if not known already).

Re: Writing Efficient Ruby Code - Short Cut

The book is slated for summer 2008 and will probably be in the price range mentioned.

Hi Stefan.

What's the relationship between the short-cut and the book?

$13 isn't a lot and the content looks interesting, but if the book is going to (a) contain this info, (b) appear reasonably soon, and (c) cost in the region of $25-$35 for the PDF form then I'm not sure I wouldn't wait for the book.

Any thoughts.

Regards,

Matt

Are you still working on the Compile Time Template Optimization? I am hoping for a Rails 2.0 version soon.

yep. railsbench. See http://railsexpress.de/blog/ar...

It'd be great if you could share your performance scripts so that everyone can test their little performance enhancement patches :)

Thanks!

Could you explain what the graph represents?

Re: Rails Template Optimizer Beta Test

Stefan — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 05:17:00 -0000

The template directory can be configured by setting ActionView::Base.template_log_dir. No need to change the optimizer source.

If optimization raises an error, the unoptimized version will be used and the app will still run fine. Could you submit a bug report to trac with the offending template source? You can also turn on an optimization trace by setting ActionView::log_template_optimization to true.

Stefan — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 02:50:00 -0000

RAILS_PERF_DATA must be set in the shell, before you invoke railsbench.

Add arg processing inside environment.rb, like so:


if ARGV.include?('-pstore')
  ActionController::CgiRequest::DEFAULT_SESSION_OPTIONS.update(
       :database_manager => CGI::Session::PStore)
elsif ARGV.include?('-arstore')
 ActionController::CgiRequest::DEFAULT_SESSION_OPTIONS.update(
      :database_manager => CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore)
elsif ARGV.include?('-mysql_session')
  ActionController::CgiRequest::DEFAULT_SESSION_OPTIONS.update(
      :database_manager => SqlSessionStore)
  SqlSessionStore.session_class = MysqlSession
end

Re: Rails Template Optimizer Beta Test

cody — Thu, 05 Apr 2007 16:35:00 -0000

So I finally got TO installed and working. I had to muck with the source so I can completely externally configure the template cache directory. The existing source likes and wants to assume its at

RAILS_ROOT/tmp/templates

Anyways, for the first couple of iterations an exception is raised:


[error] TO: optimizing _run_rhtml_app_views_shared__error_messages RAISED You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occured while evaluating nil.+>

But its not fatal, the template still gets optimized and written to disk.

But why is this happening? This is NOT an error in my page itself. I can have TO optimize a "Hello, World!" RHTML template with no logic whatsoever and this exception is thrown.

Any ideas? Its not a show-stopper but I would still like to know whats going on...

thanks.

Great work on the new railsbench. I am just licking my chops on all the statistical goodness I am about to throw at my apps performance. I have a couple of noob questions though:

1. How do I set environment variables such as RAILS_PERF_DATA. In benchmarking.rb?

2. How do I read options from the command such as the -mysql_session in:
perf_run 100 "-bm=blogs -mysql_session

to turn on or off things in my environment file?

Hello Stefan:

Thanks. I appreciate you providing this in your blog for each Rails release.

I would like to run this in my machine. Do you mind publishing the Rails app (recipe app)? If you like to e-mail it, you can send it here: me [AT@AT] venkat [DOT.DOT] in.

Regards,
Venkat.

Stefan — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 13:19:00 -0000

@Carson: you can't compare performance numbers measured on two different machines in a meaningful way. That's why I didn't do it. Only the relative speed 1.1 vs. 1.2 is interesting for me. And this, I think, is adequately covered.

Sam Smoot — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 01:55:00 -0000

Nice. But...

The general opinion presented in the report's conclusion seems unsubstantiated (I'm thinking mostly of the 4th point here). Especially without using any other Ruby frameworks for reference.

Carson — Sun, 01 Apr 2007 23:19:00 -0000

It would be nice to have benchmarks performance results using ab as well so a good comparison could be made with the results from the referenced frameworks article.

@amr: right, I forgot to add that. Will fix.

I guess c1 is config 1, ie rails 1.1 and c2 is config 2 (rails 1.2) ??

Hello,
Thanks for your post about Rails Performances.

Could you please provide us with more information about the column names signification?

Thanks in advance,
Thomas.

Re: Railsbench gem updated

Stefan — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 16:23:00 -0000

I think the problem is caused by a broken config/benchmarks.yml file. I suggest to rename it, then run generate_benchmarks and copy any benchmarks you added from the old file to the end of the new one. Then run generate_benchmarks again and verify that it doesn't abort on the new file. If this fails, send me the broken file and I'll check it.

Re: Railsbench gem updated

Chaz — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 14:12:00 -0000

Hi, Stefan.

When I run "railsbench generate_benchmarks", after working a while and ignoring various destroy/delete actions, railsbench raises the following exception:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/railsbench-0.9.1/script/generate_benchmarks:49:in `dump_entry': unsupported YAML entry (RuntimeError)
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/railsbench-0.9.1/script/generate_benchmarks:140
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/railsbench-0.9.1/script/generate_benchmarks:139
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/railsbench-0.9.1/bin/railsbench:71
from /usr/local/bin/railsbench:16

The loop at generate_benchmarks:139 appears to be raising the error when it gets to the "links" benchmark. The entry is nil, so YAML dies.

Any idea why that would be happening?

Thanks
