= vegas

== DESCRIPTION:

Vegas aims to solve the simple problem of creating executable versions of Sinatra/Rack apps.

== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

Currently, Vegas just includes a single class Vegas::Runner which wraps your Sinatra app to give it command line options, daemon-ization, PID/URL tracking, and browser launching.

Lets say you have a gem with a sinatra application. With Vegas you can create a bin that looks like

!/usr/bin/env ruby

./bin/myapp

require File.expand_path(File.dirname(FILE) + "/../lib/myapp") require 'vegas'

Vegas::Runner.new(Sinatra::Application, 'myapp')

See the website: http://code.quirkey.com/vegas for full usage/options.

=== WINDOWS:

Using vegas (and gems that depend on it) on Windows works but isn't 100% the same. Daemon-ization and browser launching work, but you will see duplicate messages. Some options might also be lost in the process. I suggest running Vegas apps in windows with the -F (foreground) flag.

If you see a warning like:

expand_path': couldn't find HOME environment -- expanding~/.vegas' (ArgumentError)

You have to set your HOME path:

c:> set HOME=%HOMEPATH%

== INSTALL:

sudo gem install vegas
