Can't configure Webrat to use eg. thin instead of mongrel

Reported by qoobaa | May 26th, 2009 @ 12:25 PM

Webrat is using mongrel by default (for Selenium testing) and there's no way to change it. Mongrel is not Ruby 1.9.1 compatible. Using mongrel makes Webrat (the Selenium part) unusable in Ruby 1.9.1. There must be some way to change it in configuration.

    I'm not sure about changing the dependency from mongrel to thin. I don't know much about thin admittedly.

    Okay, I think the best way to put this in would be to create a
    :rails_thin application server and mode. So mainly renaming your test, adding to the application_server_factory spec, and it'd also be great to have a spec for the application_servers/rails_thin so we know it's shelling out correctly.

    Thanks for the work so far, it's looking good.

    Please let me know if you'd like any further changes, or more unit tests! I've tried to add tests corresponding to those used for plain ':rails', but I'm happy to add more.

    Hello,

    I may be missing something. But couldn't we simply run ./script/server from inside RAILS_ROOT and let Rails decide which server to use? I think it already handles Thin/Mongrel/WEBrick?
