The key for a rails application in SVN is to make sure not to check in stuff that is part of the run time. Rails could organize this better – but it is not so bad. This post describes how I did it. Here are some references:
\nUsing svn propset<\/a>
\nHowto User Rails With Subversion<\/a>
\nMy process is a variant of the above link.<\/p>\n


\nFirst I check out my place in SVN that I want to add the application below. If I need to add a new directory – I make the directory and commit it.
\nThen I go into the empty directory and copy in my rails app.
\nThen I run these commands in the directory before checkin:
\nrm tmp\/*\/*
\nrm log\/*
\nrm `find . -name ‘.DS_Store’`
\nrm `find . -name ‘*~’`
\nrm `find . -name ‘*.sqlite3’ `
\nrake db:migrate VERSION=0
\nI just made a little script to do this so I don’t forget steps.
\nThen I do an
\nsvn add
\nsvn commit -m “Initial commit”
\nThen after the commit I do a bunch of propsets
\nsvn propset svn:ignore “*.log” log\/
\nsvn propset svn:ignore “*” tmp\/sessions tmp\/cache tmp\/sockets
\nsvn propset svn:ignore “*.rb\\n*.sqlite3” db
\nsvn propset svn:ignore “.DS_Store” .
\nsvn commit -m “Setup initial ignores”
\nEdit your ~\/.subversion\/config and add this line:
\nglobal-ignores = *.o *.lo *.la #*# .*.rej *.rej .*~ *~ .#* .DS_Store *.sqlite3 schema.rb *.log
\nSo folks can develop and not be bothered in their svn status output
\nwhen their running ruby system makes files.
\nIf you want see all this cleverness in action – run the checked out app and then do this:
\nsvn status –no-ignore
\nYou will see something like this:
\nI log\/development.log
\nI db\/development.sqlite3
\nI tmp\/sessions\/ruby_sess.33f0133496165daf
\nWhich means it is working.
\nSome Rails\/SVN experts would suggest that you do not check in the database.yml and a few bits of public like dispatch.cgi and dispatch.fcgi.
\nSure – I see the point there. But I erred on the side of making the developer’s life easier and having a fully functional sqlite3 version when it comes out of SVN. Since we will have lots of developers and a fewer production instances – I figured that the right choice was to have production folks make the overlay rather than every single developer. Or perhaps make the overlay happen as part of the build of a release – which is a complex script anyways. Make it easy for the developer I always say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
