Cloud Foundry the API Way

Thu, 05 Sep 2013 00:00:00 +0000

This is a topic I’ve seen come up a couple times in the last few weeks. It started with Dr. Nic Williams when we were discussing share-my-cloudfoundry when he wanted to provide compatibility with Cloud Foundry v1 and v2 in the same application. This situation came up again with a personal project that I will detail later.

It required a bit of discussion, but I finally tracked down the answers. Although the cfoundry gem states that it is compatible with Cloud Foundry v1 and v2, after some digging, it looks like it’s only compatible with v2. To make things a bit more complicated, even though the old cfoundry library was moved to a separate repository, it retained the “cfoundry” gem name, meaning I could not include both gems in a single Gemfile.
