mrrooijen / Capistrano-Deployment-Recipe.rb
Created July 29, 2009 09:34
a "base" Capistrano Rails Deployment Recipe. Use it to deploy your Rails application. It is also easily expandable. So feel free to grab this Recipe and add your own tasks/customization!
# Guide
# Configure the essential configurations below and do the following:
#
# Repository Creation:
# cap deploy:repository:create
# git add .
# git commit -am "initial commit"
# git push origin master
#
# Initial Deployment:
# with multiple collections + commands for renaming back the collections
require 'mongo'
# Stop writing to your database.
# Then, for each collection:
# Specify the DB and COLLECTION you want to convert.
# Will insert all modified documents into a new collection
# called 'new_' + old_collection_name.
# Then you can delete the old collection and rename the new one

Sass/Less Comparison

In this document I am using Sass's SCSS syntax. You can choose to use the indented syntax in sass, if you prefer it, it has no functional differences from the SCSS syntax.

For Less, I'm using the JavaScript version because this is what they suggest on the website. The ruby version may be different.

Without this, returning a 400 gives you just "Bad Request" ... with this, you can return a custom response

If you don't have the XML snippet below in your Web.config and your .NET app tries to return a 400 with custom data, you get this:

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Cache-Control: private
Content-Type: text/html
Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.5
X-AspNetMvc-Version: 3.0
X-AspNet-Version: 4.0.30319
