how to get request path in rails3 - heroku

I am trying to do something similar that I saw in a code snippet for a project in rails prior to 3.0.
The code snippet was in environment.rb
config.after_initialize do
ActionController::Base.asset_host = Proc.new do |source, request|
if request.format == 'pdf'
"file://#{Rails.root.join('public')}"
end
end
how can I incorporate this code in rails ?
which file should it go in?
how do I gain access to the request path?

You don't need to do this for for the public folder. All files and folders in this directory can be accessed from anywhere.

serving static files on sinatra

I'm working on a Sinatra app for the first time and am stumbling into an issue with serving a javascript asset.
I am following the Sinatra convention of putting the static files in “public” folder and it works locally but when we create a Docker image, we get a 404 while this works with localhost.
I see where I can set the public_folder which I have tried like this:
http://sinatrarb.com/configuration.html
but still 404'ing. Is there a way to get the top-level object and ask it where it expects the public_folder to be (like Rails.env)?
You can check the settings object.
irb(main):001:0> require "sinatra"
=> true
irb(main):002:0> settings.public_folder
=> "/usr/lib/ruby/2.5.0/irb/public"
This allows you to create a route which returns the path, something like this
require 'sinatra'
get '/' do
settings.public_folder
end
Without more information I would guess that your public folder points to a wrong directory inside your docker because the project :root points to a different directory that what you expect.

How to do a basic GraphQL query to Shopify with Ruby

I'm trying to do a basic GraphQL query to a Shopify store with Sinatra. Could someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? I looked at their API to do this:
require 'shopify_api'
require 'sinatra'
class App < Sinatra::Base
get '/' do
shop = 'xxxx.myshopify.com'
token = 'shpat_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
session = ShopifyAPI::Session.new(domain: shop, token: token, api_version: "2021-04")
ShopifyAPI::Base.activate_session(session)
ShopifyAPI::GraphQL.initialize_clients
client = ShopifyAPI::GraphQL.client
SHOP_NAME_QUERY = client.parse <<-'GRAPHQL'
{
shop {
name
}
}
GRAPHQL
result = client.query(SHOP_NAME_QUERY)
result.data.shop.name
end
end
Which gives this error but I don't want to use Rake or Rails. Is it possible to do a GraphQL query to Shopify with Ruby?
ShopifyAPI::GraphQL::InvalidClient at /
Client for API version 2021-04 does not exist because no schema file exists at `shopify_graphql_schemas/2021-04.json`. To dump the schema file, use the `rake shopify_api:graphql:dump` task
As the error states, you need to first dump the schema (see this link: https://github.com/Shopify/shopify_api/blob/v9/docs/graphql.md#dump-the-schema).
Then you create a shopify_graphql_schemas directory in the same root as your ruby script, and put the generated JSON there.
Like stated in the comments, this requires a Rake task, so you need to be using Rails.
If your project doesn't use Rails, you need to do a quick workaround.
You create a temporary barebones Rails project, then generate the dump using that project (you can delete the project when you're done with this).
It's a bit hacky, but it's the only thing I can see that would work.
New link to schema dump
https://github.com/Shopify/shopify_api/blob/v9/docs/graphql.md#dump-the-schema
You need to use something like this
rake shopify_api:graphql:dump SHOP_DOMAIN="SHOP_NAME.myshopify.com" ACCESS_TOKEN="SHOP_TOKEN" API_VERSION=2022-04

Jekyll site via Sinatra and Heroku - can't route to new posts

I created a 'Hello, World' app using Sinatra and then pushed to Heroku and all worked.
I've since created a basic Jekyll blog, and am trying to access it via Heroku using the following routes:
get '/?' do
file.read("_site/index.html")
end
get '/.*.*' do
file.read("_site/#{params[:splat]}")
end
not_found do
file.read("_site/error/index.html")
end
The route to the index works fine link to my site
but as soon as I click to the first post it always fails.
I have tried so many variations of different routes for the :splat and get, just can't seem to get it to work? Any ideas?
In the route that's failing, before the file.read statement, add warn "splat = #{params[:splat]}" and that will output the result to the terminal, and you can see what it's actually getting, e.g.
get '/.*.*' do
warn "splat = #{params[:splat]}"
file.read("_site/#{params[:splat]}")
end
You could also try using an absolute path to the files, though if you're getting the index page then it suggests it's not needed:
config do
set :statics, File.expand_path(File.join(settings.root, "_site"))
end
get '/.*.*' do
file.read( File.join settings.statics, params[:splat] )
end
Unless there's something else you were planning to use Sinatra's routes for, you could probably remove the Sinatra routes entirely and just make the "_site" folder the public_folder, and then Sinatra will do the serving of the static files for you:
config do
set :public_folder, File.expand_path(File.join(settings.root, "_site"))
end
# no more to do...

Issue while using Cloudinary, Carrierwave, Ckeditor with Rails Admin

I am trying to use Ckeditor with Rails Admin, where I am using Carrierwave and cloud storage as Cloudinary. After making all the settings I can see, CKeditor is able to save the file on local storage and then it creates a Cloudinary URL where the image should actually be stored. But the problem is that the image is not uploaded from that local folder to Cloudinary, whereas my simple file upload works correctly, without any issue.
One more question which I have here is - what should be the storage name when I am using Cloudinary? As for file and Amazon S3, we have names as file and s3.
Please respond.
Thanks
Cloudinary's Ruby GEM includes a plugin for CarrierWave that is used by many of our customers. We are not aware of special issues with Ckeditor (but we haven't tested it though).
When you use Cloudinary's plugin for CarrierWave simply add include Cloudinary::CarrierWave to your uploader class. It defines Cloudinary both as the storage engine and image manipulation service (both are cloud-based). Simply comment out the storage :file line in your uploader class. All images will be uploaded directly to Cloudinary and all transformed versions will be generated using Cloudinary URLs.
Please take a look at the sample uploader code in the documentation page:
http://cloudinary.com/documentation/rails_integration#carrierwave_upload
If the problem persists, it would help if you can share your uploader code so we can help making sure it is defined correctly.
I also have issue with ckeditor. Edit your CkeditorAttachmentFileUploader to look similar to this:
class CkeditorAttachmentFileUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
include Ckeditor::Backend::CarrierWave
include Cloudinary::CarrierWave
[:extract_content_type, :extract_size, :extract_dimensions].each do |method|
define_method :"#{method}_with_cloudinary" do
send(:"#{method}_without_cloudinary") if self.file.is_a?(CarrierWave::SanitizedFile)
{}
end
alias_method :"#{method}_without_cloudinary", method
alias_method method, :"#{method}_with_cloudinary"
end
def extension_white_list
Ckeditor.attachment_file_types
end
end
After that, you will find another error.
I found that in Ckeditor::AssetResponse#asset_url
method, the asset object is not reloaded, so asset.content_url will always be nil thus caused the error. I fixed it like this:
class Ckeditor::Picture < Ckeditor::Asset
...
def url_content
url(:content) || begin
if persisted?
reload
url(:content)
end
end
end
end
And similarly for Ckeditor::AttachmentFile class if you have it.
Make sure that you remove any references to CarrierWave.config.storage = :file
There are a few places you need to do this if this if uploading is not working:
In /config/initializers/carrierwave_init.rb remove all references to:
config.storage = :file
In your uploaders remove and reference of the sort:
storage :file

Generate URL for file in /public in Rails 2 ERB view

In my rails (v2.3.8) app I have a static resource file which I've put at /public/myfile.kml No need for any special routes.rb setting right?
It serves up just fine at http://localhost:3000/myfile.kml
When I deploy (to passenger) it appears at http://myserver/myappname/myfile.kml
All is well so far...
I have a view (an erb file) which spews out javascript which needs to reference this file. The output needs to be '/myfile.kml' on localhost, and '/myappname/myfile.kml' in production, or maybe the full URLs as above, or maybe a relative url involving a bit of '../../../' (awkward with RESTful URLs).
Should I be able to do something like <%=url_for 'myfile.kml'%> ?
or '<%=ROOT_URL%>/myfile.kml'
I know there's an insanely easy answer to this question, but honestly I've had no luck finding it. Quite a few people talking about 'root_url' but what is that? A variable I can reference in a view? It's undefined.
I'm not sure about Rails 2.3.8, but in Rails 3 this value defaults to false.
edit config/environments/production.rb and set:
config.serve_static_assets = true
Also, here's a blog post that shows a helper for linking to a static resource (favicon)
http://ilconnettivo.wordpress.com/2008/07/28/favicon-on-rails/
'<%= ENV["RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT"] %>/myfile.kml'
<%= RAILS_ROOT + "/public/myfile.kml" %>
Inspection of rake routes reveals the helper root_path for use in views. For example <%= root_path + 'myfile.kml' %> By default will map to files under public/ in a rails application.
The latest (>2.3.6) is Rails.root, see:
http://joneslee85.wordpress.com/2010/05/27/the-dilemma-of-rails-root-vs-rails_root-complex/
Why not just replicate your production environment locally? A webserver is not very resource hungry and it can help resolve some ecosystem configuration issues like you're seeing here.
