I've got a Sinatra "hello world" app that I am trying to run using jRuby. It works when I run the app, but not when I run rackup. Can anyone tell me what is going on here?
Here's the app, in a file 'app.rb':
require 'rubygems'
require 'bundler/setup'
require 'sinatra'
configure do
set :bind, '0.0.0.0'
end
get '/' do
'Boo!'
end
I can run this using bundle exec ruby app.rb
and it works fine:
jonea@centos7andy[~/andy/sinatra_sand_jruby]%: bundle exec ruby app.rb
[2015-01-12 10:36:06] INFO WEBrick 1.3.1
[2015-01-12 10:36:06] INFO ruby 1.9.3 (2014-12-09) [java]
== Sinatra/1.4.5 has taken the stage on 4567 for development with backup from WEBrick
[2015-01-12 10:36:06] INFO WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=31654 port=4567
Here is my config.ru to call the above program:
require 'rubygems'
require 'bundler/setup'
require 'sinatra'
require './app'
run Sinatra::Application
If I run this, it appears to work, but I can't access the server using a web browser:
jonea@centos7andy[~/andy/sinatra_sand_jruby]%: bundle exec rackup -p4567
[2015-01-12 10:29:06] INFO WEBrick 1.3.1
[2015-01-12 10:29:06] INFO ruby 1.9.3 (2014-12-09) [java]
[2015-01-12 10:29:06] INFO WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=31553 port=4567
I note the suspicious lack of "Sinatra has taken the stage..."
When you run the Ruby file directly (or when you add Sinatra.run!
to the config.ru
file) Sinatra runs its own server. In this case the call to set :bind, '0.0.0.0' will take effect. When you run through rackup
this setting is ignored.
The default host that rackup listens to is localhost
, so the server will only be available through the same machine, you won’t be able to access it from other machines. To access it through other machines set the --host
option:
bundle exec rackup -p4567 --host 0.0.0.0
(Note the output of rackup -h
for the current version says the default host is 0.0.0.0, but this is out of date and has been fixed in master.)
Well, this is hardly sufficient to explain what is going on, but I can make it work if in config.ru I replace
run Sinatra::Application
with
Sinatra::Application.run!
In fact, knowing that makes me even more confused. Some sort of bug in Rack?
#config.ru
require "./app.rb"
set :bind, '0.0.0.0'
set :port, 9292 #set your port!
Sinatra::Application.run!
try this code and type rackup
Then you can get the results you want.
I have slightly similar situation.
But the difference is that, my Jruby + Sinatra rackup app is finally starts responding.
But it takes lots of time, sometimes it starts responding 5 minutes after app start.
I found out, that after app start port is not listened for some period time.
If we make netstat -an it will not show our app port.
Actually I don't know the reason of such behavior, but I'll dig for it.
