Sinatra cannot find submission catalog

Question

I am trying to structure my Sinatra application in such a way that it looks like a regular Ruby Gem structure. I have the following file tree:

. ├── app.rb ├── config.ru ├── Gemfile ├── Gemfile.lock ├── helpers │  ├── dbconfig.rb │  ├── functions.rb │  └── init.rb ├── hidden │  └── Rakefile ├── lib │  ├── admin.rb │  ├── api.rb │  ├── indexer.rb │  ├── init.rb │  └── magnet.rb ├── models │  ├── init.rb │  ├── invite.rb │  ├── tag.rb │  ├── torrent.rb │  └── user.rb ├── public │  ├── css │  │  ├── reset.css │  │  └── style.css │  ├── i │  ├── img │  │  ├── bg.jpg │  │  ├── dl-icon.png │  │  ├── logo.png │  │  ├── logo-public.png │  │  ├── magnet-icon.png │  │  ├── text-logo.png │  │  ├── text-logo-public.png │  │  └── upload-icon.png │  └── js │  ├── main.js │  └── torrents.js ├── README.md ├── SPEC.md ├── tmp │  └── restart.txt ├── TODO.md └── views ├── error.erb ├── footer.erb ├── header.erb ├── index.erb ├── list.erb ├── nav.erb ├── text.erb └── upload.erb 

I have application files that try to map objects to lib/ , but after (re) starting the Passenger server I get: Errno::ENOENT - No such file or directory - /home/dev/indexer/lib/views/index.erb

Offensive lines:

 get '/' do erb :index end 

How can i fix this?

Answer 1

Specify the path to the view directory in your configuration block:

 set :views, "#{settings.root}/../views" 

See http://www.sinatrarb.com/configuration.html#__view_template_directory

Answer 2

Despite the contents of the rb files, it would be hard to guess what was wrong. If the routes are specified in the rb files in a subfolder inside the root directory of your application, you will need to explicitly set the views folder.

In your case, if /app.rb is the file that sets up the basic configuration, you will need to install views (or something else like that in the shared folder).

 class MyApp < Sinatra::Base set :views, File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/views' set :public_folder, File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/public' end 

Else Sinatra will search in subsequent subfolders for the corresponding paths. In addition, subsequent route files must extend to the same class. In this case, MyApp. For example, in ./lib/admin.rb

 class MyApp < Sinatra::Base get "/blah" do "blah blah" end end

Ok, I found out what happened! All I had to do was make my classes in the lib/ folder inherit from the main Brightswipe class, which is inherited from Sinatra::Base .
