Instance Method Details

- (Array<String>) __caller_info__(i = 1)

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

TODO:

Docs: originally, return type was given as Array<Array>, but that's inconsistent with the example.

The file, line and method of the caller.

Examples:

__caller_info__(1)
# => ['/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/workspace.rb', '52', 'irb_binding']

Parameters:

  • i (Fixnum) (defaults to: 1) —

    The caller number.

Returns:

  • (Array<String>) —

    The file, line and method of the caller.

def __caller_info__(i = 1)
  file, line, meth = caller[i].scan(/(.*?):(\d+):in `(.*?)'/).first
end

- (Array<Array>) __caller_lines__(file, line, size = 4)

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

Triplets containing the line number, the line and whether this was the searched line.

Examples:

__caller_lines__('/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/debug.rb', 122, 2)
# =>
  [
    [ 120, "  def check_suspend",                               false ],
    [ 121, "    return if Thread.critical",                     false ],
    [ 122, "    while (Thread.critical = true; @suspend_next)", true  ],
    [ 123, "      DEBUGGER__.waiting.push Thread.current",      false ],
    [ 124, "      @suspend_next = false",                       false ]
  ]

Parameters:

  • file (String) —

    The file to read.

  • line (Fixnum) —

    The line number to look for.

  • size (Fixnum) (defaults to: 4) —

    Number of lines to include above and below the line to look for.

Returns:

  • (Array<Array>) —

    Triplets containing the line number, the line and whether this was the searched line.

end

- (String) __profile__(name, min = 1, iter = 100)

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

Note:

Requires the ruby-prof gem.

Takes a block, profiles the results of running the block specified number of times and generates HTML report.

__profile__("MyProfile", 5, 30) do
  rand(10)**rand(10)
  puts "Profile run"
end

Assuming that the total time taken for #puts calls was less than 5% of the total time to run, #puts won't appear in the profile report. The code block will be run 30 times in the example above.

Parameters:

  • name (#to_s) —

    The file name. The result will be written out to Merb.root/"log/#{name}.html".

  • min (Fixnum) (defaults to: 1) —

    Minimum percentage of the total time a method must take for it to be included in the result.

Returns:

  • (String) —

    The result of the profiling.

end

- (Object) enforce!(opts = {})

Note:

Object#quacks_like? is provided by extlib.

Checks that the given objects quack like the given conditions.

Parameters:

  • opts (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    Conditions to enforce. Each key will receive a quacks_like? call with the value (see Object#quacks_like? for details).

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError) —

    An object failed to quack like a condition.

  end
end

- (Object) extract_options_from_args!(args)

Extracts an options hash if it is the last item in the args array. Used internally in methods that take *args.

Examples:

def render(*args,&blk)
  opts = extract_options_from_args!(args) || {}
  # [...]
end

Parameters:

  • args (Array) —

    The arguments to extract the hash from.

end

- (nil) use_orm(orm)

Used in Merb.root/config/init.rb to tell Merb which ORM (Object Relational Mapper) you wish to use. Currently Merb has plugins to support ActiveRecord, DataMapper, and Sequel.

If for some reason this is called more than once, later call takes over other.

Examples:

use_orm :datamapper

# This will use the DataMapper generator for your ORM
$ merb-gen model ActivityEvent

Parameters:

  • orm (Symbol) —

    The ORM to use.

Returns:

  • (nil)

def use_orm(orm)

  nil
end

- (nil) use_template_engine(template_engine)

Used in Merb.root/config/init.rb to tell Merb which template engine to prefer.

Examples:

use_template_engine :haml

# This will now use haml templates in generators where available.
$ merb-gen resource_controller Project

Parameters:

  • template_engine (Symbol) —

    The template engine to use.

Returns:

  • (nil)

- (nil) use_testing_framework(test_framework)

Used in Merb.root/config/init.rb to tell Merb which testing framework to use. Currently Merb has plugins to support RSpec and Test::Unit.

Examples:

use_test :rspec

# This will now use the RSpec generator for tests
$ merb-gen model ActivityEvent

Parameters:

  • test_framework (Symbol) —

    The test framework to use. Currently only supports :rspec and :test_unit.

Returns:

  • (nil)
