After making the move to Linode (finally!) I had some issues with getting the contact pages on this site and Penderry up and running. RVM was throwing an error about the sinatra gem missing. A quick scan of the error message and it was obvious that Passenger wasn't using my gemsets.

A bit of googling turned up this little snippet which, when placed in app/config/, will tell RVM to use the gemset associated with the folder.

if ENV['MY_RUBY_HOME'] && ENV['MY_RUBY_HOME'].include?('rvm')  begin    rvm_path     = File.dirname(File.dirname(ENV['MY_RUBY_HOME']))    rvm_lib_path = File.join(rvm_path, 'lib')    $LOAD_PATH.unshift rvm_lib_path    require 'rvm'    RVM.use_from_path! File.dirname(File.dirname(__FILE__))  rescue LoadError    # RVM is unavailable at this point.    raise "RVM ruby lib is currently unavailable."  endend

Some time ago now I added proper command line options to Tv Renamr, followed shortly by a test suite with Python's Nose. Along the way I ran into a bug that has frustrated me for a long long time, until today when I finally found a work around - hooray, go me!

The bug is hardly a game stopper as it only affects the UI candy on my tests. Simply put, I couldn't use options with nose. Every time I did, an error was thrown saying no such option existed for nose while displaying the usage string for tvr:
