That sounds like a great reason to me. Why pull in a whole different
technology just to read a 6-line file?? (maybe that's what you were
meaning when you said YAML was a mysterious place inside Rails?)
Or, easily work around wandering mysql socket locations (excuse the junk code):
config.active_record.connection.configure do |db|
db.adapter = 'mysql'
sockets = %w(/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock)
db.socket = sockets.find { |f| File.exist?(f) }
end
Does anyone even use YAML anymore? My projects are mostly JSON, a
little XML, and zero YAML. database.yml is an an anachronism. Why
keep this legacy inside Rails?
Great work Adam. I'll be installing your patch as I move projects to
Rails 2.1 and I sure hope it moves upstream quickly.
