Using pow with Middleman

#1

Hope I’m not being too stupid here. I assume that I can use Middleman with pow, but when I set my symlink to my MM project, I just get a 404.

The gentleman here: http://monospace.se/posts/mac-frontend-development-environment states that he uses pow with MM regularly.

Google isn’t helping me either. Is there any trickery to using middleman with pow?

Hi,
You might want to check out the discussion here.

I was looking for a solution to use Pow with Middleman, and the config.ru provided in the discussion seems to work fine for me. Hope it helps!

Great! Thank you! That’s very helpful.

I’m not having any luck using Pow and Middleman. Does it matter which version of the gems I’m using? Any advice would be appreciated. Does it matter whether or not I’m using livereload? I’ve tried both.

# Reload the browser automatically whenever files change
activate :livereload

I tried Collin’s config.ru settings, but then my browser just keeps looking for the server and eventually gives a 502 Proxy Error.

"The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server."

partial bundle list:

  * middleman (3.1.6)
  * middleman-core (3.1.6)
  * middleman-livereload (3.1.0)
  * middleman-more (3.1.6)
  * middleman-sprockets (3.1.4)
  * rack (1.5.2)
  * rack-livereload (0.3.15)

Thanks.

Edit: Although I never did get the nice reload working detailed by collin and igoralekseev, I’ll have to revisit. I did try a cement the whole Middleman development cycle in my head for myself. I took some notes and put them in a gist
