All, I’d like your feedback and testing of a *early-but-near-to-beta-quality* build of IronRuby.Rack, packaged in a RubyGem with some very simple scripts to configure rack-based applications for running on ASP.NET<http://www.asp.net/>and deploying to IIS <http://www.iis.net/> on Windows.
*INSTALL* First you'll need IronRuby 1.0 for .NET 4.0<http://ironruby.codeplex.com/releases/view/25901>installed: http://ironruby.codeplex.com/releases/view/25901#DownloadId=116524 Since it’s a for-the-mailing-list-only preview, I am not publishing it to rubygems.org until I’ve gotten enough of your feedback that it’s ready, so you’ll have to first download the gem from: http://jimmy.schementi.com/downloads/ironruby-rack-0.0.9-universal-dotnet.gem And then install it with your IronRuby installation: D:\>igem install path\to\ironruby-rack-0.0.9-universal-dotnet.gem This gem packages up the following components: - IronRuby.Rack.dll: integration between Rack and ASP.NET - Cassini.exe: a open-source development-time web server - rack2aspnet <app_path> [rails|sinatra]: takes a Rack application and enables it to run on ASP.NET - deploy2iis <app_name> <app_path>: takes a Rack-enabled ASP.NETapplication and deploys it to the IIS web server. *USAGE* Lets take a tiny Sinatra app and deploy it to IIS. Given this app: D:\>cd demo D:\>more app.rb require 'rubygems' require 'sinatra' get '/' do 'hi' end Run rack2aspnet to set it up for running on ASP.NET: D:\demo>rack2aspnet . sinatra rack2aspnet copied IronRuby.Rack, Cassini, and your local copy of IronRuby to the "bin" directory, a config.ru for sinatra (if not present already), and a web.config all pre-configured to point at your local IronRuby installation: - bin\Cassini.exe - bin\ir.exe - bin\ir.exe.config - bin\IronRuby.dll - bin\IronRuby.Libraries.dll - bin\IronRuby.Libraries.Yaml.dll - bin\IronRuby.Rack.dll - bin\Microsoft.Dynamic.dll - bin\Microsoft.Scripting.dll - config.ru - log - web.config Because it's been ASP.NET-ified, it can run on any ASP.NET web-server; this gem includes Cassini.exe: D:\demo>bin\Cassini.exe D:\demo 9202 / Now this app can be deployed to an IIS web server with deploy2iis: D:\demo>deploy2iis myapp d:\demo Gives IIS_IUSRS FullControl to d:\demo myapp has been created successfully. myapp has been configured successfully. IIS Restarted Note: you'll still have to give IIS_IUSRS read-only access to your IronRuby installation; the script will enable this in the future. You can now navigate to the Sinatra app at http://localhost/myapp, which will be running on IIS. *FEEDBACK* For now, just reply to the list with any major issues you find. Feel free to try it with your own apps too, but make sure they run OK on IronRuby first. If you find some bugs and what to take a stab at fixing them yourself, you can find the source code here: http://github.com/jschementi/ironruby/tree/master/Hosts/IronRuby.Rack Enjoy, ~Jimmy
