If you're not familiar with Rails and ActiveRecord in general or with ActiveModel in particular then MongoMapper can be difficult to cope with at times. Even though the docs are fine and in detail some parts seem to be missing that are probably obvious for those coming from Rails. I'm not a Rails guy so I post my experience with many to many associations that might help one or the other save some precious debugging hours.

Take this code:

class User
  include MongoMapper::Document
  key :name, String, :required => true
  key :email, String

key :post_ids, Array

You have a collection of objects in you MongoDB like this here:

class Student
  include MongoMapper::Document
  key :name, String, :required => true
  key :firstname, String, :required => true
  key :course, String
end

To clean up your database you can either do this:

Mongomapper can use EmbeddedDocuments inside its Documents. There are some advances and disadvantages to it. This post is about validations for EmbeddedDocuments. If you have two classes like this:

class Address
	include MongoMapper::EmbeddedDocument
	key :address, String, :required => true
end

class Person
	include MongoMapper::Document

many :addresses

After I uninstalled XCode via

sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all

and reinstalled the new command line tools from apple I had a weird git error:

fatal: You don't exist. Go away!

whenever I tried to connect with a remote repository like Github or Bitbucket.

In case you want to use the PATCH verbin Rack::Test and you get errors when you try it with the current gem release you will have to use the git version in your Gemfile:

group :test do
  gem 'rack-test', :git => "https://github.com/brynary/rack-test.git"

While the PATCH verb has been included in a recent patch it's not yet in the gem release. Using the :git repo lets you test also PATCH routes for your rack app.

#Drupal on Openshift There is an existing repo for a quick install of Drupal 7 over at https://github.com/openshift/drupal-example. This didn't really cut the deal for me because the example was Drupal 7, I needed Drupal 6 and I wasn't happy about the way it is managed codewise.

I needed this:

• Drupal 6
• easy updates via git
• simple module management
• multisite setup
