Hi! I'd installed railway through npm. But when I run railway init, seem that bash error: -bash: railway: command not found

Please assist.. thanks

For some reason the railway binary seems to be called "rw". That's counter-intuitive and it pollutes the namespace usually used for aliases. Using random names for commands because they're shorter is against best practices and common sense. It doesn't scale, there are only so many combinations of two letters. Developers are clever enough to set up a shorter alias anyway. Plus, it's really a bad idea to use aliases in the documentation, like "rw c xyz". Please, please, please reconsider this naming choice. Thanks!

Been messing around with this issue for few days,
I have to drawback my mongoose to 1.8.4 because whenever i use mongoose driver >= 2.0.1, this odds issue happen

I'll try to reproduce the code
So i define db/schema.js as usual

var PostSchema = new Schema;
PostSchema.add({
    title: { type: String },
    content: { type: String },
    date: { type: Date },
    published: { type: Boolean },
});
mongoose.model("Post", PostSchema);
....

In test/db/post_controller.coffee

Post.find {}, (err, posts) -> // Works
Post.find {title: 'Some Title'}, (err, posts) -> // Works
Post.find {title: /^Some/}, (err, posts) -> // Works

Nothing wrong till this step, but when you practically doing in in app/controllers/posts_controller.coffe, such as this code

Post.findById '....', (err, posts) -> // Works
Post.find {}, (err, posts) -> // Works lfawlessly
Post.find {title: 'Some Title'}, (err, posts) -> // DOESN'T Works, err is null, all rows unfiltered will be outputed to 'posts'
Post.find {title: /^Some/}, (err, posts) -> // DOESN"T works as well, same as above
Post.find {published: false}, (err, posts) -> // DOESN"T works as well, same as above

This is kinda odd things, since didn't see code from ./node_modules/railway/lib/datamapper/mongoose.js messing around with the schema file.

The odds thing is it happens on the controller action or the REPL console, but not on the test unit.
In case you ask, My environments was Mac OS X Lion, mongod v1.8.3, node 0.4.12
What could be wrong? or does the rightwayjs monkey patching some code in mongoose that i didn't noticed? or do i miss something?

Better via mongoose

Unable to use a remote mongodb connection.
Constantly fails with this error.
Works fine if I use the default settings (localhost)

Please look into it.

This is my database.json

{ "development":
{ "driver": "mongoose"
, "host": "node:_@_.mongolab.com:27297/node"
}
}

This is the log:

Зачем в папке controllers к файлу добавлять _controller?

fs.readdirSync(app_root + '/app/models/') читает скрытие файлы, хотя не должен.

Возможно это проблема в node. Можешь проверить?)

hi, i'm having this error while running an app with express on railway .

the error happen with this line of code :

require("express-on-railway").init(__dirname, app);

Dont know wha to do. It appear to be current wih node but never in this case

Can someone help me ? thx

Some input parameters should be SKIPPED from logging: credit card number, password, confirmation.

just downloaded the current git repo and did the following:

$ railway init
$ railway g controller home index

have config/routes.js as follows:
exports.routes = function (map) {
map.get( '/', 'home#index' );
};

and then getting nothing displayed for my routes when running:
$ railway routes

Had this error message when I ran railway init . Just installed Railway, node version is 0.4.11, npm is 1.0.26--please let me know if you need any additional information.

Not sure if this is related but after generating the app I generated a scaffold, all the files including the ejs views seemed to be properly created. When I ran railway server 8888 and opened a Firefox tab to localhost:8888 I got the default page but when I went to /posts only a blank page came up in the browser, and in the terminal showed "GET /advtweets controller: advtweets action: index"

Coming from Rails to my first Node dev project Railway would be a huge boost if I can use.

Надо добавить app.set('view options', {layout: 'application_layout'}) по умолчанию. иначе EBADF, Bad file descriptor '/var/www/testjs/app/views/layout.ejs'

Look at https://github.com/visionmedia/log.js

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK PLS! :)

Just a small "info" you might need to change the name, there was a
php project which also used php railsway or something like this
and rails called him to change the name of the project.
To prevent this you might consider to change the name
before they mail you :)

Hi, I think I might be doing something wrong here, how do you run test on railway, I tried npm test in the project directory but nothing happens, it just returns to the command line, is there something I need to know, I am just starting in the world of unit testing in node, so please pardon me if I am missing something obvious here. Any guidance to get started will be much appreciated!!!

BTW. the fix you implemented for collection-wide routes works great thank you!!!

Hi, I'm running scaffold for User. When tried to add new user user#new, console throw error on /railway/website/node_modules/railway/lib/helpers.js:219:9 (form_for helper).

** Seems like buf === undefined.

Passing :

    var buf = arguments.callee.caller.buf || {}

will render the form but the action is not submitted.

Please assist and thanks for wonderful framework. Make my life a bit easier on node.

For some reason this simple route is not working

http://localhost:3000/sessions/oa-signin

The route is setup like this

map.resources('sessions', {except: ['show', 'edit', 'update', 'index']}, function (session) {
        session.get('oa-signin', 'sessions#oauthSignin');
    });

and all I get when I go to the url is this

Cannot GET /sessions/oa-signin

This started to happen after I upgrade to the latest railway version.

BTW. The route does work like this (as a regular route):

map.get('sessions/oa-signin', 'sessions#oauthSignin');

Any ideas?

Thank you!!!!

Hey guys,

Great work. I'm curious, where could someone host a web app built with Node. Nodester seems promising - but it is also seems like it is still in beta stage. Where are you guys currently hosting?

1. Hook up --tpl option for generators and create appropriated views.
2. Create extensions for allowed tpl engines, to add form_for support

Very promising tool, however I'm getting this when I start it up:

TypeError: Object # has no method 'staticProvider'

I'm guessing that is related to the version of connect I have installed? I tried the npm install version and the github master version with no luck against 1.3.0.

Add railway assertions to nodeunit. Write test for scaffolds.

Add configuration to enable js/css files merging:

app.enable('merge javascripts');
app.enable('merge stylesheets');

When enabled, merge all files into one on server start.

Have tried to create simple railway application and it worked. But when used "railway g scaffold post title content date:date published:boolean" console command and posts were created, going to new posts page (/posts/new), shows an error:

500 TypeError: ejs:3 1|

New post

Monogdb was running, I have checked that post instance is valid (id of post instance seems to be valid for mongodb)

Have looked through the list of issues and have found one about push, but it was about changes to server.js and won't work here.

Hi..would be nice than EoR will support others nosql(like couchdb)..do u have plans for future support?...

map.all('...');

Provide ability to switch on csrf protection in application controller.

I stumbled across railwayjs and wanted to make a quick proof of concept app but it seems like something (maybe the coffee script generation?) is not working quite right. I issued the following commands:

rw init incoming.io --coffee --tpl jade --db redis
rw g crud user email password
rw s 3000 

and it threw this error:

SyntaxError: Unexpected string

    at Array.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/railway/lib/onrailway.js:71:24)
    at EventEmitter._tickCallback (node.js:126:26)

Im on OSX lion with node 0.4.11.

Railway loading takes up to 500ms now (mongo + few thin controllers + few fat models + extensions), but it can grow up in time.

Server can be started before the final completion of the initialization.

If you don't terminate the yml locale files in config/locales with a newline, you get this error:

See this issue for why: tj/js-yaml#13. Someone forked it and fixed the issue.

1 railway init newproject
2 sudo npm install
3 using the generate as "railway g scaffold post title content date:date published:boolean"
output log is ok, but the models/post.js is an empty file

I'm just unable to use Jade as my View engine.

First I started by putting this in my environment file.
app.set('view engine', 'jade');

and my npmfile.js has this:

require('jade-ext');

I also ran npm install -l and verified that jade and jade-ext are installed in my app.
I also have jade versions of my layouts and views.

When I restart my server, the app cannot find any routes.
Cannot GET /snippets

The moment I change the "view engine" to "ejs" in my environment file and restart the server, everything works fine.

I also find the console logging somewhat limiting, for example I had to retrace a few steps to figure out what was causing this behavior.

Thanks for looking into it.

Add ability to use generic routing:

map.get(':controller/:action');

Observer is a kind of controller, that listen for some event in the system, for example: paypal, twitter or facebook observers listens for callback from foreign service. Email observer may listen some events related to emails.

If you need app.on('someEvent') you should place this code here.

For some reason I am getting Forbidden everytime I try to submit my form, and in the log I see the "Incorrect authencity token" I think the token is not getting submitted to the POST request, any ideas I might be missing something here but not sure what it is.

I do see thsi in my page head section:

<meta name="csrf-param" content="authencity_token" />
<meta name="csrf-token" content="7752ef5547646924ff5f56edc63893fc15cff2ff" />

Thank you in advance for the help!

Hi, when running your example the model file is created, but it is blank:

railway g model user email password approved:boolean

it fails with mongoose, but why?

var User = describe("User", function () {

is installation instruction correct?

in the same way you're breaking out the db layer into jugglingdb, it'd be really amazing if some of the other components were isolated into their own modules.

For example:

the initialisation stuff like loading environment/config/i18n/initialisers would be useful on it's own.
as would the routing/controller system on it's own
generators (eg, ability to create generators for other projects (which is sorely missing btw))
etc

This also might help adoption, since it means that people don't feel like their entire app depends on someone else's code, instead components could be plugged in and out (eg, perhaps they want to use express-resource instead of your routes for some reason)

Just an idea.

All controllers and helpers ends with _controller and _helper, is there any advantage of this method?

They are already separated by being in their own folders, and it just seems to make the filename longer.
