Auto-populate socket value in rails database.yml using TextMate snippet
When using mysql for rails apps, you may need a
socket:value. I can never remember mine. So I added a TextMate snippet to find it. (read below for non-TextMate)
Snippet text:
socket: `mysql_config --socket`
Activation:
socket:
Scope selector:
source.yaml - string
<h3>Usage:</h2>
In your database.yml, go to the line
socket:, delete any blank spaces til the cursor is at the colon, then press TAB and wait. The line will be updated with the socket location.
<h3>Non-TextMate</h3>
If you don't have textmate, you can get your socket location using:
mysql_config --socket
And paste the result into your database.yml
