  This is the expected behavior.

  The merb-gen creates applications now. The merb command only starts and stops the webserver.

  On a semi-related topic, running `merb` in a directory which has no app will still launch the server, creating a log directory and spawning Mongrel/etc.

  It would probably be better from a UI standpoint to notify the user that there is no app to execute, since you probably don't want to start creating files all over the place if someone were to type merb in the wrong terminal. I can't tell you how you would detect an app, though, given that the regular, --flat and --very-flat app structures all differ greatly.

  Thanks for the help Geoffrey. I now created an app successfully, however, upon starting the server I now get this message:

  /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/merb-core-0.9.0/lib/merb-core/core_ext/kernel.rb:26:in `require': no such file to load -- merb_rspec (LoadError)

  Should I create a new ticket, or am I overlooking something else? Is there any docs covering these generators for 0.9? Thanks.

  Known bug, squashed in latest git version.

  • → State changed from “new” to “resolved”

  I'm marking this resolved, but how do we detect whether the app is a "Merb app"; with the new single-file apps, it might be more difficult to detect whether an app is a Merb app before trying to load it.
