RailwayJS and Mongoose with option --coffee

Question

does somebody know why data will not be stored in mongodb in a railway-project using the --coffee option?

Creating a project the regular way (w/o --coffee option) data will be saved in mongodb. So when do the following:

railway init blog && cd blog

and after modifying the database.json to

{ "development":
  { "driver":   "mongoose"
  , "host":     "localhost"
  , "database": "blog_dev"
  }
}

everything works fine when I install all dependencies and start the server with

npm install -l
railway g scaffold post title content
railway s

So far. But when I create a project with --coffee option like:

railway init blog --coffee

and after modifying the database.yml (this is different in coffe-mode) to

development:
  driver:   "mongoose"
  host:     "localhost"
  database: "blog_dev"

and after installing all dependencies and start the server with

npm install -l
railway g scaffold post title content --coffee
railway s

data will only stored in memory.

any idea?

using the old database.json file extension (with JSON content of course) it seems to work. maybee its in issue of railway using the --coffee option that it creates a database.yml file — David, Aug 07 '12 at 12:30

Use database.json instead of database.yml:

{
  "development": {
    "driver": "mongoose",
    "host": "localhost",
    "database": "blahblahblah"
  },
  "test": {
    "driver": "memory"
  }
}
