Re: Tips for building Nuget packages

Raif — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 23:50:16 -0000

Yea a bit late here but I have a question. Lets say I have a core library which is made up of a couple of projects, and I use this in some of my other apps. There is one root project which consumes the rest of the projects in the core so I can create a nuget pkg for that and include <files> for the rest of the dlls. But what if I want the source ( symbols ) should I do as you illustrate here
<file src="..\..\src\Bottles\**\*.cs" target="src">
but for all the projects? Like
<file src="..\..\src\proj1\**\*.cs" target="src">
<file src="..\..\src\proj2\**\*.cs" target="src">
<file src="..\..\src\proj3\**\*.cs" target="src">
or should I create a nuget pkg for each project and have my root and the rest of them consume each others pkgs? some how the latter seems messy and the former seems hacky.
does this make any sense?
Thanks,
Raif</file></file></file></file></files>

Re: Coordinating multiple ajax requests with jquery.when

Good catch - fixed! As you can see in the jsfiddle, that line closed the jQuery onReady callback, which wasn't included in this snippet.

line 9 should not be really there :) I suppose that is cp fail :)

Re: How we handle application configuration

I do not work with .NET anymore, but I'm pretty sure my old teammates still use some form of this approach. The best place to ask for details on the latest approach, and possibly code, is probably the FubuMVC mailing list:

Hi Joshua,

Its been 3 years since you posted this, so plenty of time for real world testing :-) I was wondering - do you still use this solution for your new projects? Also, do you have any source code of this?

Thanks!

Re: Use gitk to understand git – merge and rebase

A very good introduction - has made many things clear and gives a route to future investigation and understanding.

Thanks for the sharing. It is a good walkthrough

Re: How to use a tool installed by Nuget in your build scripts

I found an easier fix. Apparently 'CD" does work with wildcards. So in your build event you do:
CD "$(SolutionDir)packages\MyAwesomeTool*\tools"
CALL MyAwesomeTool.cmd

Hi Joshua,

I often read tutorials on the web, but this is the first time I add a comment just to say thank you - thank you for the great explanation of git using gitk !

Thanks Joshua! Its working great!

Re: Validate a Facebook JavaScript SDK cookie with Ruby

joshuaflanagan — Sat, 25 Aug 2012 10:40:06 -0000

I did not update to use a 3rd party SDK. I only needed to make a few changes to my code:

cookie = request.cookies["fbsr_#{@fb_app_id}"]

fb_info = JSON.parse(urldecode64(cookie.split('.',2)[1]))

def urldecode64(str)
encoded_str = str.tr('-_', '+/')
encoded_str += '=' while !(encoded_str.size % 4).zero?
Base64.decode64(encoded_str)
end

def valid_cookie?
return false unless cookie
return false if fb_info['algorithm'].to_s.upcase != 'HMAC-SHA256'
encoded_sig, payload = cookie.split('.', 2)
sig = urldecode64(encoded_sig)
expected_sig = OpenSSL::HMAC.digest('sha256', settings.fb_app_secret, payload)
expected_sig == sig
end

for the mean time, Andrew from the #facebook chatroom on irc.freenode.net advised me to look at the PHP opensource code to see how they do it. This code looks like a good place to start: https://github.com/facebook/fa...

Re: Validate a Facebook JavaScript SDK cookie with Ruby

Thanks for the warning Joshua. Are you planning to move to one of the various 3rd party ruby sdks listed on: https://developers.facebook.co...

I'm not sure if any of them satisfy:
1. Sinatra
2. Integration with the Facebook SDK for Javascript

Re: Validate a Facebook JavaScript SDK cookie with Ruby

joshuaflanagan — Fri, 24 Aug 2012 09:11:10 -0000

This article is now out of date. I discovered the same problem recently. The cookie now comes through as "fbsr_#{@fb_app_id }", and I think it is intended to be used in a different way. See some discussion here: http://stackoverflow.com/quest...

I will update this article with a warning.

Re: Validate a Facebook JavaScript SDK cookie with Ruby

Shogo — Fri, 24 Aug 2012 05:24:40 -0000

cookie = request.cookies["fbs_#{@fb_app_id}"]
on the sinatra server side, my cookie is nil. I am logged in with the javascript sdk with status and cookie set to true for FB.init
i even hardcoded fbs_123456 #thats not my real app id of course.
I found your article because 3rd party tools like fb_graph are not working with the javascript sdk (or I can't get it to work).

Does rebase look like the same?

GREAT JOB! I've been struggling trying to learn Git as I go. I've accumulated a ton of bookmarked information, but I think I can throw most of it away now. Not only did you do a great job explaining Gitk, but provided a tremendous boost to my understanding of Git; just what you said you'd do!

One minor thing I did not understand. When you did the "git merge issue123", the commits shown in the "top pane" (does that pane have a name?) moved from being in line under master to being in line under issue123.

What is the significance of that shift ?

Are you thinking about a series on Git Gui?

thanks so much!

Excellent writeup. Thanks a lot. Your explanation clarified this in a way that the docs couldn't. Thanks again!
