During my port of Trineo's Resque example to Unicorn, I came across an issue with the Sinatra Redis gem. The issue being that I can't get it to work in a modular application. (Note this gem hasn't been touched in three odd years.) I do understand the difference between classic and modular Sinatra applications. I've read into how scope is affected by the top-level DSL versus subclassing in a modular application, which happens to be my preference. What I really want to get an idea of is if it's possible to run this gem in a modular application, and, get it working on Heroku.
Firstly, make sure you've installed Ruby. Also, install the Heroku Toolbelt as it includes Foreman for running Procfile-based applications.
Then in terminal, clone me:
$ git clone https://github.com/kripy/redis-symbol redis-symbol
$ cd redis-symbol
$ bundle
$ foreman start
Open up a browser at http://localhost:5000/ and you'll get a big, fat, error.
Pull request, anyone?
