loading environment variables in rails console

I think this is a little easy question!

I'm using .env file to keep all my environment variables, and i'm using foreman.

Unfortunately, these environment variables are not being loaded when running rails console rails c so, i'm now loading them manually after running the console, which is not the best way.

I'd like to know if there any better way for that.

Can I tell foreman to reload the web app every time a request is made so I can develop decently?

A web app I am writing in JavaScript using node.js. I use Foreman, but I don't want to manually restart the server every time I change my code. Can I tell Foreman to reload the entire web app before handling an HTTP request (i.e. restart the node process)?

Foreman installed by heroku toolbelt on windows can't be found

I simply followed the getting started with nodejs tutorial from Heroku. https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-nodejs#declare-process-types-with-procfile

But I get an error at the part "declare process types with procfile" My problem is that my cmd (using windows 7) didn't find the command "foreman"

Any solutions ? I downloaded/installed the heroku toolbelt, the login works fine, but foreman dont

foreman only shows line with “started wit pid #” and nothing else

When I run foreman I get the following:

 > foreman start
 16:47:56 web.1     | started with pid 27122

Only if I stop it (via ctrl-c) it shows me what is missing:

^CSIGINT received

How do I fix it?

Can't start foreman in Heroku Tutorial using Python

I have been attempting to complete this tutorial, but have run into a problem with the foreman start line. I am using a windows 7, 64 bit machine and am attempting to do this in the git bash terminal provided by the Heroku Toolbelt.

When I enter foreman start I receive:

sh.exe": /c/Program Files (x86)/Heroku/ruby-1.9.2/bin/foreman: "c:/Program: bad
interpreter: No such file or directory

So I tried entering the cmd in git bash by typing cmd and then using foreman start (similar to a comment on one of the answers to this question suggests). This is what that produced:

Bad file descriptor

21:06:08 web.1  | exited with code 1
21:06:08 system | sending SIGKILL to all processes

I have no clue what the second set of errors is trying to tell me, since the file location it seems to claim engine.rb is running from does not even exist on my computer.

I have looked at other answers to similar problems, however I am not receiving similar errors and so do not believe a solution to my problem currently exists.

How to use foreman to export to upstart?

I am trying to export my application to another process management format/system (specifically, upstart). In doing so, I have come across a number of roadblocks, mostly due to lacking documentation.

As a non-root user, I ran the following command (as shown here):

-bash> foreman export upstart /etc/init
ERROR: Could not create: /etc/init

I "could not create" the directory due to inadequate permissions, so I used sudo:

-bash> sudo foreman export upstart /etc/init
Password:
ERROR: Could not chown /var/log/app to app

I "could not chown... to app" because there is no user named app.

Where is app coming from?

How should I use forman to export to upstart?

Foreman start fails on Windows following Heroku tutorial

I'm following the heroku tutorial for Heroku/Facebook integration (but I suspect this issue has nothing to do with facebook integration) and I got stuck on the stage where I was supposed to start foreman (I've installed the Heroku installbelt for windows, which includes foreman):

Since I'm a complete noob in this I'm not sure if my question here is a duplicate for Error on 'foreman start' while following the Python/Flask Heroku tutorial (because it's not quite the same error). If so, does anyone have a method for deploying a development environment on windows (for Heruko, Python, Facebook app)? Or should I use Ubuntu for this?

Thanks

foreman development vs production (rails)

what is the "foreman way" for behaving differently in production vs development? That is we want foreman start to start up a bunch of stuff in dev, however in heroku production we don't need it to start (for example) solr.

Use different Procfile in development and production

I have a homemade Sinatra application for which I intend to use Heroku to host it.

I use foreman and shotgun in development, with the following Procfile:

web: shotgun config.ru -s thin -o 0.0.0.0 -p $PORT -E $RACK_ENV

It works great with both development and production. But the thing is, I don't want to use shotgun in production since it's too slow.

Can we use separate Procfile configurations for both dev and prod?

Why does Foreman not output some things until I press Control-C?

I just got into rails programming and it looks like there are two programs I can use to run my project locally: rackup and foreman.

One difference I noticed is that foreman will not output some things that I would expect to see and I would see if I ran rackup instead, until I press ctrl+c to close the server. Then all those messages appear, as if they were being hidden.

Is there a reason for this? How can I get foreman to be more verbose?

Error starting foreman (Dotenv::FormatError)

I'm trying to get a node.js app to start using foreman. I run the forman start command in the projects root directory and I keep getting the following error:

The project works perfectly fine on my co-workers machines using the same command. I'm using OSX 10.8.4.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

can you use node-inspector to debug a node.js app running with foreman

I have an node.js application that I can debug with node-inspector running:

node --debug app.js

But I want to use foreman to start my application so it will load environment variables in the .env file. Like so:

foreman start

Is there a way to run the app with foreman and also use node-inspector? I tried:

foreman start --debug

but didn't have any luck with that.

Thanks.

Flask logging with Foreman

I'm trying to set up a Heroku-ready Flask app, but I can't figure out how to turn on logging.

Without Foreman, I could create a helloworld app as described in the Flask tutorial:

from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/")
def hello():
    app.logger.debug('A value for debugging')
    app.logger.warning('A value for warning')
    return "Hello World!"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug=True)

start it like so:

python hello.py

and have logging in stdout.

When I follow the Heroku tutorial, however, there's no app.run line:

import os
from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def hello():
    app.logger.debug('A value for debugging')
    app.logger.warning('A value for warning')
    return 'Hello World!'

And so I can't figure out how to run in debug mode and/or get logging output:

foreman start -p 5000

Procfile:

web: gunicorn hello:app

Procfile gunicorn custom module name

Context: I am writing a medium sized flask application (10-15 views), and in the process, I am hoping to organize the code in a manner that will make it easily maintainable and extensible (not a monolithic file as most Flask applications are).

The structure of the application mimics the documentation as follows:

/AwesomeHackings
    /ENV
    /AwesomeHackings
        /models
        /static
        /templates
        /__init__.py
        /awesome.py
        /awesome.cfg
    /Procfile
    /README.MD
    /requirements.txt
    /run.py

Problem: I am unable to get foreman to work with a flask application which is not named 'app'. I would love to have run.py be the entry point to my application.

I am using gunicorn + gevent, and my current Procfile contains:

web: gunicorn -w 2 -b 0.0.0.0:$PORT -k gevent app:run

I have been using run.py to test the application:

from AwesomeHackings import awesome
awesome.app.run(debug=True)

Thus I assumed I could simply substitute run for app in the Procfile, but when executing foreman start , gunicorn fails with meaningless verbiage about modules.
