set environment variable

config.before_configuration do

      env_file = File.join(Rails.root, 'config', 'paypal.yml')

      YAML.load(File.open(env_file)).each do |key, value|

        ENV[key.to_s] = value

    end

Git vs. SVN - Basic Commandline Syntax Reference

Learning the git workflow takes a bit of brain retraining, but since I've been using SVN almost entirely via commandline (because Subversive sucks and locks up my Eclipse when I try to use it for anything beyond synching/updating/committing a handful of files), adopting git's commandline syntax is reasonably similar. Consider these simple operations:

Initial checkout from existing repo for a given branch	git clone http://github.com/sonatype/sonatype-tycho.git; cd sonatype-tycho; git checkout origin/tycho-0.10.x	svn checkout http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/branches/jbosstools-3.2.0.Beta1/
Update locally checked out files from central repo	git pull	svn update
List locally changes files/folders	git status	svn stat
Diff locally changed file	git diff somefile.txt	svn diff somefile.txt
Revert locally changed file*	git checkout somefile.txt	svn revert somefile.txt
Revert ALL local changes (except untracked files)*	git reset --hard HEAD	svn revert . -R
Add new file	git add file.txt	svn add file.txt
Add new folder recursively	git add folder	svn add folder
Delete file	git rm file.txt	svn rm file.txt
Delete folder	git rm -r folder (non-recursive by default; use -r to recurse)	svn rm folder (recursive by default; use -N to not recurse)
Commit changed file to central repo	git commit -m "message" file.txt; git push	svn ci -m "message" file.txt
Ignore files/folders (in the current folder)	echo "target *.class bin" > .gitignore; \ git ci -m "gitignore" .gitignore	svn propset svn:ignore "target *.class bin" .; \ svn ci -N -m "svn:ignore" .

Obviously you can do a lot more w/ Git than with SVN (like stashing local changes temporarily), but for the sake of simply moving from a VCS to a DVCS and being able to continue to work the same way you already do, the above table should provide a good introduction.

15 Best Ruby on Rails Gem Used for an application

Devise (https://rubygems.org/gems/devise): Since some years ago, it represents the authentication mechanism preferred by all Rails developers. Powerful, flexible, allows to integrate with OAuth authentication systems with a minimal effort.

Haml (https://rubygems.org/gems/haml): Allows you to write valid XHTML concisely. The learning curve is relatively short.

Gritter (https://rubygems.org/gems/gritter): After years of flash messages in the classic div in the page, we moved to Growl like notifications. Thanks to these pop-ups, we can show our flash messages in any page in a completely non-invasive and elegant way.

Cells (https://rubygems.org/gems/cells): Cells can really keep our controllers very skinny. We use it to represent and caching some boxes, like “recommended items”, “top users” and so on. I really like Cells over the use of helpers.

FriendlyId (https://rubygems.org/gems/friendly_id): A perfect gem to make our url seo friendly.

SimpleForm (https://rubygems.org/gems/simple_form): We use it primarily for its excellent integration with Bootstrap and for its ease of use.

Paperclip (https://rubygems.org/gems/paperclip): Despite the years, it still remains the reference point for attachments management .

Kaminari (https://rubygems.org/gems/kaminari): Useful gem to manage paginated collections .

Cancan (https://rubygems.org/gems/cancan): Our choice to manage permissions. We never have had the need to use some other solution .

Resque (https://rubygems.org/gems/resque) or Delayed Job (https://rubygems.org/gems/delayed_job): Both are valuable supports to manage background processes. If you do not have enough resources to set up a Redis server, we recommend Delayed Job.

Sunspot (https://rubygems.org/gems/sunspot): After a brief period with thinking_sphinx, we have moved to this very powerful indexing engine. Thanks to Solr, we can easily implement geolocated full text searches. The only problem is that you need to configure a dedicated Tomcat server. If you do not have these resources, we recommend using pg_search (https://rubygems.org/gems/pg_search) with a Postgres database or the old but still valid meta_search (http://rubygems.org/gems/meta_search) .

ActiveAdmin (https://rubygems.org/gems/activeadmin): When it is necessary to set up a back office administration in a short time, here is the right gem. Powerful, fairly customizable, ideal for simple administration interfaces.

Letter opener (https://rubygems.org/gems/letter_opener): Useful to test sending emails simply by opening them in a browser window .

RSpec (https://rubygems.org/gems/rspec): A perfect gem to test our models in a BDD way.

Capybara (https://rubygems.org/gems/capybara) : In addition to unit test the models, we like to create a suite of acceptance tests. Capybara allows you to test all the application’s user stories relatively quickly.

How to migrate from Heroku Shared-database to Dev or Basic Postgres

First, we installed the postgres add-on:
heroku addons:add heroku-postgresql:basic

When you run the command it created a new database:
Attached as HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_SOMECOLOR
You can see it by typing heroku config

Most of our apps were already running pgbackups:monthly (free), on one of them we ran:
heroku addons:add pgbackups

Put the app in maintenance mode:
heroku maintenance:on

Capture a backup of the current database:
heroku pgbackups:capture --expire
(Took under 2 minutes for a 12 MB database)

Now push that data into the new database:
heroku pgbackups:restore HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_SOMECOLOR

Now make the new database the current database:
heroku pg:promote HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_SOMECOLOR
(Replaces the heroku config variable DATABASE_URL with the URL for the new database. The old shared-database and it’s URL are still there, but they are not the default anymore.)

Check the new database is working:
heroku pg:psql HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_SOMECOLOR
=> select count(*) from users;
(To quit the CLI type \q )

Turn off maintenance mode:
heroku maintenance:off


Short steps ::

heroku pgbackups:capture --expire

heroku pgbackups:url

curl -o latest_dump_file.dump DATABASE_URL

heroku maintenance:on

heroku pgbackups:restore HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_WHITE_URL

heroku pg:promote HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_WHITE_URL

heroku pg:psq HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_WHITE_URL

heroku pg:psql HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_WHITE_URL

heroku maintenance:off
