Sinatra settings returning strange result

I have a very simple Sinatra application:

require 'sinatra'

get '/' do
  settings.inspect
end

And when I go to the root path I get: Sinatra::Application which is not at all what I expected. The application also doesn't respond well when I call the development? method (NoMethodError). I get the feeling this is because of my environment. I'm running Sinatra 1.4.4 with Ruby 1.9.3 on Windows 8. Any ideas on how to figure this out?

This is right, it’s just the way Sinatra works.

The settings instance method calls the class method (with self.class.settings) and the class method simply returns self, which is Sinatra::Application in the case of classic apps, and whatever your app class is in the case of modular apps.

When you add a setting in Sinatra with set, a new method is created on the app class for it, rather than there being a separate settings object. There is no way, as far as I know, to iterate over just the settings of your app.
