Redirects on https:// sites
by Stefan Hornburg (Racke) 03 May '11

Hello, fellow dancers! I got a simple, Dropbox-alike Dancer application in the works. The site is running on https:// with Perlbal, Starman and started with plackup. Any relative redirects like redirect 'login' are pointing to http:// instead of https://. What could be the reason? BTW: Remind me to release my AutoIndex module as Dancer plugin :-).

setting confdir and environments problem
by Ted Henry 01 May '11

01 May '11

I've been checking out Dancer and the flexibility of reorganizing the directory structure of an app is great; however, I'm not sure I'm doing it right for confdir. I have an app named Alpha-Beta. If I do $ export DANCER_CONFDIR=/Users/ted/tmp/tmp/Alpha-Beta/etc $ bin/app.pl then the file /Users/ted/tmp/tmp/Alpha-Beta/etc/config.yml is found but the file /Users/ted/tmp/tmp/Alpha-Beta/etc/environments/development.yml is not found. When I look in Dancer/Config.pm I see the following code sub environment_file { my $env = setting('environment'); return path(setting('appdir'), 'environments', "$env.yml"); } Should it be the following? sub environment_file { my $env = setting('environment'); return path(setting('confdir') || setting('appdir'), 'environments', "$env.yml"); } Thanks. Ted

Dancer::Session::YAML initialises sessions dir for every new session
by Al 01 May '11

01 May '11

Just a passing comment as I only use this module for testing purposes... I have noticed that Dancer::Session::YAML tries to initialize the sessions directory for every new session, causing the following log messages to appear repeatedly: [15144] core @0.000064> session_dir : /home/al/dancertest/sessions in /usr/local/libdata/perl5/site_perl/Dancer/Session/YAML.pm l. 34 [15144] core @0.097106> [hit #2]session_dir : /home/al/dancertest/sessions in /usr/local/libdata/perl5/site_perl/Dancer/Session/YAML.pm l. 34 [15144] core @0.086822> [hit #8]session_dir : /home/al/dancertest/sessions in /usr/local/libdata/perl5/site_perl/Dancer/Session/YAML.pm l. 34 [15144] core @0.085747> [hit #14]session_dir : /home/al/dancertest/sessions in /usr/local/libdata/perl5/site_perl/Dancer/Session/YAML.pm l. 34 [15144] core @0.095747> [hit #19]session_dir : /home/al/dancertest/sessions in /usr/local/libdata/perl5/site_perl/Dancer/Session/YAML.pm l. 34 This is inefficient and can be avoided by removing the following lines prepended with "x", so that the initialization code is run just once when the module is loaded by the "session" hook in Dancer::Config. x17 sub init { x18 my $self = shift; x19 $self->SUPER::init(@_); 20 21 croak "YAML is needed and is not installed" 22 unless Dancer::ModuleLoader->load('YAML'); 23 24 # default value for session_dir 25 setting('session_dir' => path(setting('appdir'), 'sessions')) 26 if not defined setting('session_dir'); 27 28 # make sure session_dir exists 29 my $session_dir = setting('session_dir'); 30 if (!-d $session_dir) { 31 mkdir $session_dir 32 or croak "session_dir $session_dir cannot be created"; 33 } 34 Dancer::Logger::core("session_dir : $session_dir"); x35 }
