Nice work! I think the role_requirement is necessary for most projects.

One more detail: “rake spec” fails after changing REST_AUTH_SITE_KEY (due to fixture data no longer matching, apparently).

What do I have to do after changing the site key to get the rspec test to pass again; in other words, how do I generate the proper changes to spec/fixtures/users.yml?

A rake task to upgrade the site key *and* update the fixture would of course rock, in the future :)

Great work guys! But why removing the role_requirement? Was usefull… surely for a “starter application” more useful then an admin interface xD
Thanks aniway :)

Personally I would think some type of role-rights based interface would be more preferred than role_requirement. I personally end up using a custom role/right solution but would love to find a plugin that suited my requirements for this and having it in bort would be great. As for the admin interface, I’m all for it. Makes one less thing I have to worry about.

Admin area and i18n would be fantastic additions. I find myself adding these into bort then all the time (ESP admin) because they are critical components that almost every site requires.

Roles are fantastic and one of the reasons i started using bort. I love but as Gabe said they would be easy to add in… just sux to have to do that!! haha :)

thanks for publishing your fantastic app.

Re role_requirement: Why the motion to remove this? Yah, it’s totally simple to add in if you need it, but I’m wondering why you end up removing role_requirement for new projects. Is it not useful? What are you using to manage security/permissions?

Gah, nevermind, I was trying things out with Rails 2.1.2 (which does not work with this version of Bort, it seems).

Upgraded to the 2.2.0 release candidate and the gems in the vendor directory apparently are loaded fine, “rake spec” now passes. Whee.

Still one niggle: it seems to require the rspec gem to be installed system-wide (even though there is a copy of it in the vendor directory). If I remove rspec from the system gems, I get:

rake aborted!
no such file to load — spec/rake/spectask

if I try to run any rake task.
