Question

I tried to set up a config file for my sinatra app, and simple settings work. (the puts in my code prints “Hello!!”) But I read this document, which says I can define settings per environment. I tried it but it doesn’t work. What am I doing wrong? 😉
I’m using this code:

#settings.yml
#environments: :production, :development
environment: :development

bla: Hello!!

development:
  db_adapter:   "sqlite3"
  db_location:  "db/development"
  db_logfile:   $stdout
  db_loglevel:  :debug
  haml: "format => :html5, :ugly => true"

production:
  db_adapter:   "sqlite3"
  db_location:  "db/production"
  db_logfile:   "log/production_db.log"
  db_loglevel:  :error

and

#main.rb
#!/usr/bin/ruby

require 'rubygems'
require 'sinatra'             #Webframework
require 'sinatra/config_file' #Config

set :environment, :development
config_file("settings.yml")

puts settings.bla

DataMapper::Logger.new(settings.db_logfile, settings.db_loglevel)
DataMapper.setup(:default, "#{settings.db_adapter}://#{Dir.pwd}/#{settings.db_location}")
...

It raises a noMethodError for settings.db_logfile…
sorry for my bad english 😉

EDIT1:
I got it 😉
I have to write this into my main.rb:

set :environment, :development

configure :development do
  set :db_adapter     ,  "sqlite3"
  set :db_location    ,  "db/development"
  set :db_logfile     ,  $stdout
  set :db_loglevel    ,  :debug
  set :haml           ,  :format => :html5
end

You want to configure your environments like this:

configure :production do
  set :db_adapter, "sqlite3"
  set :db_location, "db/production"
  set :db_logfile, "log/production_db.log"
  set :db_loglevel, :error
end

configure :development do
  set :db_adapter, "sqlite3"
  set :db_location, "db/development"
  set :db_logfile, $stdout
  set :db_loglevel, :debug
  set :haml, {:format => :html5, :ugly => true}
end

configure :test do
  ...
end
