Warbler uses gem files from cache folder instead of gems folder

I was having the following error when running warbler war on my rails application folder:

Cannot load gem at [/home/juanito/jruby-1.1.4/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/cache/activerecord-jdbc-adapter-0.8.2.gem] in /home/juanito/bulletonrails/svn_copy/bullet_gui 
/home/juanito/jruby-1.1.4/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/format.rb:41:in `from_file_by_path'

I looked around the gems/1.8/cache folder and sure enough, the gem file for activerecord-jdbc-adapter was missing. I had deleted that file and other gem files from that folder a while ago because I thought I would not need them and they was taking space. Well, it turns out that Warbler uses the gem files from the rubygem's cache folder to unpack the gems into the WEB-INF folder. As a consequence, by basically using the original gem files, it bypasses any modification you make to your local gems.

So if your newly deployed jruby WAR application is missing custom behavior that you added to your local gems, you may want to convert the gem into a plugin (I think there is a gem that does that) and make your custom changes. Warbler then will include your newly created plugin in your rails application.

Power Automate: SFTP action "Test connection failed"

When I added an SFTP create file action to my Power Automate flow ( https://flow.microsoft.com ) , I got the following error in the action step, within the designer: "Test connection failed" To troubleshoot the Power Automate connection, I had to: go the Power Automate portal then "Data"->"Connections"  the sftp connection was there, I clicked on the ellipsis, and entered the connection info It turns out, that screen provides more details about the connection error. In my case, it was complaining that "SSH host key finger-print xxx format is not supported. It must be in 'MD5' format". I had provided the sha fingerprint that WinScp shows. Instead, I needed to use the MD5 version of the fingerprint. To get that, I had to run in command line (I was in a folder that had openssh in it): ssh -o FingerprintHash=md5 mysftpsite.com To get the fingerprint in MD5 format. I took the string (without the "MD5:" part of the string) and put ...

How to create online multiplayer HTML5 games in Contruct2

  Construct2 can use websockets to send and receive messages between games. By using socket-io , we can use a Node.js script as the server and my modification to the socket-io plugin for Construct2 to allow the games to synchronize data between them in real-time. There are two parts to this design: the Node.js server and the Construct2 clients (the games playing). The main part of building an online multiplayer HTML5 game is to plan: how the clients will communicate how often and what to communicate how much of the logic will go into the server and how much to the client. In my sample game, I chose to have each client own a player and have the server just relay messages: Use string messages in the form TypeOfMessage, Parameter1, Paremeter2, Parater3, etc to communicate. Have the clients send their player position about 16 times a second. Whenever their player shoots, the client needs to send a message immediately. Almost all of the game logic will...
