Mark Tucker's Brainwork

So Merb 1.0 was released 2 days ago during RubyConf, just sudo gem install merb to update. I had to update my config/dependencies.rb file to read merb_gems_version = "1.0" and also sudo gem install webrat , which is a Ruby Acceptance Testing plugin. Here 's the Git repo if you want to check it out.

After a lot of searching and banging my head against my keyboard I finally found how to get the database name for my Merb application: Macintosh:ruby-rss-feeds marktucks$ merb -i ... >> repository(:default).adapter => # , @name=:default, @transactions={}> >> repository(:default).adapter.uri => # >> repository(:default).adapter.uri.path => "sample_development.db" # YAY! I'm sure there must be a better way to do this. A Rails::Configuration.database_configuration equivalent? But I just cannot find it. The Merb.config doesn't seem to have a database property / method. You can get stuff like the host ( Merb.config[:host] ). Any suggestions / better solutions are welcome.
