Answer 1

Using the configure block is not the correct way to do this. Whenever you load the file the commands will be run.

Try extending run!

require 'sinatra'
require 'launchy'

class MyServer < Sinatra::Base

  def self.run!
    Launchy.open("http://#{settings.host}:#{settings.port}/")
    super
  end

  get '/' do
    "My server"
  end
end
