Can I convert App::Notifier::Service from Dancer 1 to Dancer2?
by Shlomi Fish 07 Aug '15

07 Aug '15

Hi all, Is there a good reason why I should *not* convert https://metacpan.org/pod/App::Notifier::Service from Dancer 1 to Dancer2? It's a simple web app, meant to run synchronously, and I can debug it by using perl -d, and last time I tried doing s/Dancer/Dancer2/g everything worked nicely. Is there a good enough reason to stay with Dancer 1?

Dancer Plugins Maintainers team on Github
by Sawyer X 08 Oct '14

08 Oct '14

Hi all! :) I've just created a new team on Github's PerlDancer organization called Plugins Maintainers[1]. This team will consist on anyone and everyone that want to help maintain Dancer (both D1 and D2) plugins. I've already added all the plugin repos that we have under the organization. Team members are able to both read and write to the repos. If you're unsure about a change, feel free to just discuss it with the other team. Open an issue, request responses. We're all here for each other. I'd like to thank all the volunteers we have in the community. I hope this will make it easier on you to contribute in the future. If you want to help with plugins, please oh please let us know and we'll add you to the team. :) [1] https://github.com/orgs/PerlDancer/teams/plugins-maintainers/

by VinceW 01 Oct '14

In two recent threads of this list a comparison table was mentioned. I had this on my wish list for D1/D2 too and I was just fiddling with one. a first draft is currently available on: http://eurweb.eu perhaps someone would like to have a look at it and provide some feedback about setup, data in the list, etc when list is ready, it could be taken to perldancer.org Best, VinceW

Hi everyone, again, :) I've taken the liberty to start a list of possible articles for the Dancer Advent Calendar (coming this December to a calendar near you!) and I would be very happy if you could add your own suggestions. If you want to also indicate that you're going to write it yourself (whether for sure, or only tentatively), feel free to add that too. https://github.com/PerlDancer/Dancer2/wiki/Advent-Calendar

Mysterious restarts of development server
by Lutz Gehlen 26 Sep '14

26 Sep '14

Hello everybody, I have a problem with the builtin web server of Dancer1. I use it for development and testing purposes. Sometimes - I haven't figured out what triggers this behaviour, but it happens sometimes rather quickly, sometimes after running for hours or even days - the server mysteriously switches to the development environment and port 3000. I usually start the server like this (omitting some nohup and bash redirection stuff): perl bin/app.pl --port 7000 --environment production In the output I see this: >> Dancer 1.3123 server 13413 listening on http://0.0.0.0:7000 >> Dancer::Plugin::Database::Core (0.06) >> Dancer::Plugin::Lexicon (0.05) >> Dancer::Plugin::Database::Core::Handle (0.02) >> Dancer::Plugin::Database (2.09) >> Dancer::Plugin::Auth::Basic (0.030) >> Dancer::Plugin::EscapeHTML (0.22) >> Dancer::Plugin::Ajax (1.00) == Entering the production dance floor ... [13413] core @0.000008> Dancer::Session::Storable using session_dir : sessions in /data/perl5/biodatabase/lib/perl5/Dancer/Session/Storable.pm l. 35 [13413] core @0.013884> loading Dancer::Handler::Standalone handler in /data/perl5/biodatabase/lib/perl5/Dancer/Handler.pm l. 45 [13413] core @0.014051> loading handler 'Dancer::Handler::Standalone' in /data/perl5/biodatabase/lib/perl5/Dancer.pm l. 483 So far, so good, but then - after variable amounts of time as sketched above, this: >> Dancer 1.3123 server 13413 listening on http://0.0.0.0:3000 The problem is that obviously, from now on the server is not reachable under port 7000 any more, and eventually, my testers complain and I have to restart the server. As you can see, the process ID does not change. Does the server exec itself forgetting the command line parameters? Or what else happens? I hope someone can help me avoid this behaviour. Thanks a lot, Lutz

Recent Perl 5.8 compatibility breakage: mro
by Warren Young 18 Sep '14

18 Sep '14

A recent update to Dancer apparently introduced a requirement for the 'mro' module, which is a Perl 5.10+ thing according to: http://search.cpan.org/~rjbs/perl-5.20.0/ext/mro/mro.pm I hope this can be fixed. One of the key reasons I chose Dancer is that it still worked on Perl 5.8, which is what RHEL 5 shipped with, which will still be in support for years: http://goo.gl/gUzmww It's too early to be dropping Perl 5.8, IMHO. Yes, I know, Modern Perl, 12 years old, yadda yadda. Perl 5.8 was the current version for over 5 years, so it got itself into a *lot* of places before 5.10 finally came around to displace it.
