Guard::Passenger¶ ↑

Guard::Passenger is the useful development server solution. The guard automatically starts Passenger and intelligently restarts the server when needed.

Install¶ ↑

Please be sure to have guard installed before continue.

Install the gem:

gem install guard-passenger

Add it to your Gemfile (inside test group):

gem 'guard-passenger'

Add guard definition to your Guardfile by running this command:

guard init passenger

Usage¶ ↑

Please read guard usage doc

Guardfile¶ ↑

Passenger guard can be really be adapted to all kind of rack project with Passenger. Please read guard doc for more info about Guardfile DSL.

Standard rails app¶ ↑

guard 'passenger' do
  watch(%|lib/.*\.rb|)
  watch(%|config/.*\.rb|)
end

Passenger standalone¶ ↑

Passenger standalone is used as default. You can pass options to the guard to disable or configure it. Guard::Passenger will start Passenger on startup and take it down on exit. By default Passenger standalone is activated and port is set to 3000.

Ping¶ ↑

You can choose to ping localhost:port(/path) after Passenger has been restarted, it’s done asynchronously so it won’t block other guards execution. If you set :ping to true, it will ping localhost:3000/, it you set :ping to a String, it will append the path to localhost:3000/ for the ping. If the ping responds with a non-5XX response, Passenger is considered as running, otherwise, there is probably a problem with Passenger.

Guard options¶ ↑

Guard::Passenger accepts some options for configuration.

# :standalone    boolean            run Passenger standalone                (default: true)
# :port          integer            using the given port                    (default: 3000)
# :env           string             framework environment                   (default: development)
# :ping          boolean or string  ping localhost after Passenger restart  (default: false)

guard 'passenger', :standalone => false, :port => 3001, :env => 'production', :ping => '/foo' do
end
