"proc without block" problems with sinatra and padrino about redis-rb

[ezmobius]

Don't use redis with sinatra in default sinatra mode. You will have to use Sinatra::Application to contain your sintra apps to keep them from poluting the global namespace and fubaring redis.

Unfortunately I'm using a framework within a framework. My application is a subclass of Padrino::Application, which is a subclass of Sinatra::Application. The errors came within the padrino "controllers" which are simply instance_evals within the application class that call "get" and "delete". My redis#get and redis#delete calls are inside of these routing statements, which call methods in an instance of Usher::Interface::Rack::Builder, the routing code. Somehow the redis#get and redis#delete end up somewhere else.trying to call the Rack::Builder methods. I guess I'll stick with my get and delete patch to redis until I can spend enough time to figure out what ruby is doing when it tries to resolve these "get" and "delete" method calls.

I don't understand how this works. is sinatra defining 'get' and 'set' in the Kernel or Object namespace or something? If so thats pretty gross :( I'd rather not patch redis-rb to work around a sintra bug that should probabky be fixed in sinatra.

But perhaps we could add an extra file sinatra_safe.rb with your patches that allow you to require this if you really need it? Not sure whats best here

I don't understand it either. So I don't recommend doing anything to your code base until I find out the mechanism involved. It might be that I have to add "::" or something somewhere in my application code.
