Hi,
I am getting the following error after adding Goliath to my Gemfile. I am getting this error when I am trying to run my app using webrick in development mode. Please help.

Are you trying to use Goliath to serve a Rails app? You will not be able to do that, Goliath is a standalone framework, while you can use ActiveRecord (using an event machine based adapter) and ActiveSupport with it, the Rails request response cycle is not supported.

[nikhilbansal]

I just want Goliath to be a part of the same codebase as of Passenger. I am still using Passenger to serve my Rails app. I am getting this error when I am trying to run passenger.

The rails app will load all of the gems in the bundle. So, if Goliath is in there it will be loaded by Rails. I believe you can put it in a custom group to not have it loaded in production, but not sure if that will work in dev/test.

@nikhilbansal Are you still experiencing issues here or can we close this out?
