Re: Heroku Mongoid config and how it works

Nope - the only thing an add-on does is set one config var - MONOGHQ_URL in this case. No other magic. Some add-ons like new relic will also install a gem or plugin, but mongo hq isn't one of them. Those are the only actions an add-on can take. Oren On Wed, Sep 29, 2010 at 7:55 PM, Bradley

It's interesting, after searching through the source of the gem, there's a mongoid.yml in a generator that references the same env vars for the db connection (MONGOID_HOST, MONGOID_PORT... etc), and yet I don't see the gem creating these anywhere. So I'm still confused as to where these were

Heroku might be breaking up the ENV['MONGOHQ_URL'] into those components for you. Try heroku console from your command line and then ENV['MONGOID_HOST'] to see if it's present. On Sep 27, 6:51 am, Abel Tamayo abel.tam...@gmail.com wrote: It seems MongoMapper is more popular around here. At

ya you're right, those env vars exist. i wonder why the docs on this are so sparse, and how the author of this template found this out. I haven't been able to locate anything that gives an indication that this is happening. On Sep 27, 11:44 am, Chris Hanks christopher.m.ha...@gmail.com wrote:

I'm not sure what's going on, but Heroku doesn't do any magic like that. When you add the mongohq addon, the only url that is set is the MONGOHQ_URL. I just tested it on one of my apps, added mongohq, and there is nothing set for MONGOID_*. Perhaps that's a feature that the mongoid gem itself

I just used a template for a new rails app that sets up everything for use with Mongoid. The mongoid.yml file looks like this: production: host: %= ENV['MONGOID_HOST'] % port: %= ENV['MONGOID_PORT'] % username: %= ENV['MONGOID_USERNAME'] % password: %= ENV['MONGOID_PASSWORD'] %
