RailsInfo Wiki ¶ ↑

Experimental engine for a rails application besides admin and continous integration web interface which extends standard /rails/info (properties through public.html iframe and on Rails 3 Edge / Rails 4 also the routes action) about some extra information resources in development environment.

Installation¶ ↑

In Rails 3, add this under your development group to the Gemfile of your Rails 3 application and run the bundle command.

gem "rails_info"

OPTIONAL: users of catch-all-routes like match '*not_found' => 'errors#404' have to add the following line before this catch-all-route:

mount_rails_info if Rails.env.development?

OPTIONAL: If you are also using the simple_navigation gem then you need to make sure that you navigation configuration file is not called navigation.rb.

If you have a navigation.rb file rename it to main_navigation.rb and add the context: :main option to the render_navigation calls in your views.

Caveats¶ ↑

Prepare for sporadic Ruby segmentation faults caused by the Python powered syntax highlighter pygments in the early stages of this project (at least under Ruby 1.9.3 & Rails 3.2.6 on MacOS). There will be a configuration option for deactivating syntax highlighting soon for the time being without a solution for this problem.

Tested on MacOS with: Rails 3.1 & Ruby 1.9.2, Rails 3.2.6 & Ruby 1.9.3.

Future¶ ↑

It should be the place for other rake commands besides “rake routes” such as brakeman or best practices.
