Important Notes¶ ↑

If you are new to this, you pretty much have to do this exactly to get everything to work. If you miss something you’ll run into problems!

Setup all the Basics¶ ↑

Installing JRuby¶ ↑

$ rvm get stable && rvm install jruby

Setting up Torquebox Gemset¶ ↑

$ rvm use jruby
$ rvm gemset create torquebox
$ rvm jruby-1.6.7.2@torquebox

Install Torquebox Gem¶ ↑

Install Torquebox-Server via RVM and jruby gem install

$ jruby -S gem install torquebox-server

Install Rails3 for JRuby¶ ↑

$ jruby -S gem install rails --pre --no-rdoc --no-ri

Create Your Rails Project¶ ↑

Use the torquebox template for creating a new rails app :), it puts it in a subfolder just like normal rails new myapp

$ torquebox rails myapp

Change to Rails App Directory¶ ↑

$ cd myapp

Do a Quick Test, this should load WEBrick¶ ↑

$ jruby script/rails server

You should get something like this:

=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 3.2.8.rc2 application starting in development on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
[2012-08-27 21:19:01] INFO  WEBrick 1.3.1
[2012-08-27 21:19:01] INFO  ruby 1.9.3 (2012-08-07) [java]
[2012-08-27 21:19:01] INFO  WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=31454 port=3000

Verify ENV vars¶ ↑

Run this and verify that your ENV vars are set properly, if not torquebox deploy/undeploy won’t work

$ torquebox env

Make sure your environment variables look something like this, your username instead of “username”

TORQUEBOX_HOME=/Users/username/.rvm/gems/jruby-1.6.7.2@torquebox/gems/torquebox-server-2.1.1-java
JBOSS_HOME=/Users/users/.rvm/gems/jruby-1.6.7.2@torquebox/gems/torquebox-server-2.1.1-java/jboss
JRUBY_HOME=/Users/users/.rvm/rubies/jruby-1.6.7.2

Set your JRUBY Options: run with 1.9.x, turn on jit logging (turn off to make quieter in term)

JRUBY_OPTS="--1.9 -Xjit.logging=true" 
JRUBY_OPTS="--1.9 -Xjit.logging=false"

If you added Gems Bundle Install to make sure we’re all set up, if not torquebox rails already handled this¶ ↑

$ jruby -S bundle install

Setup to Run on Torquebox¶ ↑

$ torquebox deploy .

Test Running on Torquebox¶ ↑

$ torquebox run
Browse localhost:8080 and there it is!

**NOTE: remember to run “$ rvm jruby-1.6.7.2@torquebox” if you leave the folder (with a .rvmrc) and come back, or you can set up your own .rvmrc but make sure you don’t lose your ENV vars or have them reset**

Ok, now we got all the basics down, on to Couchbase¶ ↑

If you are still running app in Torquebox, CTRL-C to get out and continue

Install Couchbase JRuby Gem¶ ↑

$ jruby -S gem install jcouchbase

Add to Gemfile¶ ↑

gem 'jcouchbase'

Do a Bundle install¶ ↑

$ jruby -S bundle install

Voila!
