REXML
by Robert Rice 23 May '09

23 May '09

Dear MacRuby development team: I am new to Ruby and I have an application that I would like to port to MacRuby. The two extensions I will need are XML and serial port I/O. So far I have not been able to get them to work: Last login: Fri May 22 12:31:48 on ttys000 new-host:~ robertrice$ macirb >> require "rexml/document" NameError: uninitialized constant REXML::Attribute::NAME_STR from /Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework/Versions/0.4/usr/lib/ruby/ 1.9.1/rexml/attribute.rb:18:in `<class:Attribute>' from /Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework/Versions/0.4/usr/lib/ruby/ 1.9.1/rexml/attribute.rb:9:in `<module:REXML>' from /Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework/Versions/0.4/usr/lib/ruby/ 1.9.1/rexml/attribute.rb:4:in `<top (required)>' from /Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework/Versions/0.4/usr/lib/ruby/ 1.9.1/rexml/element.rb:3:in `require' from /Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework/Versions/0.4/usr/lib/ruby/ 1.9.1/rexml/element.rb:3:in `<top (required)>' from /Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework/Versions/0.4/usr/lib/ruby/ 1.9.1/rexml/document.rb:1:in `require' from /Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework/Versions/0.4/usr/lib/ruby/ 1.9.1/rexml/document.rb:1:in `<top (required)>' from (irb):1:in `require' from (irb):1 from /usr/local/bin/macirb:12:in `<main>' >> require "rubygems" => false >> require "serialport" LoadError: no such file to load -- serialport from (irb):3:in `require' from (irb):3 from /usr/local/bin/macirb:12:in `<main>' >> exit new-host:~ robertrice$ exit logout [Process completed] Can anyone help me?

HotCocoa LayoutView Patch
by dan sinclair 23 May '09

23 May '09

Hello, Attached is a simple patch to make the ability to enable a border around a layout_view available without being in debug mode. It also allows different colours to be set on each layout_view. Makes it easier, for me at least, to figure out where all the bounding boxes are sitting. Does this make sense to go back into SVN? Anything that should be changed to make it committable? Thanks, dan

Re: [MacRuby-devel] Mixing Objective-C and Ruby classes
by victor jalencas 22 May '09

22 May '09

Many thanks John and Laurent. After reading your messages I came back to XCode and discovered I had made a typo in the ObjC part of the code (which, curiously, compiled) and that's why my ruby code didn't find my selector. As for calling ruby code from the obj-c side, I agree it's a bit convoluted (not to mention deprecated). I hope there's a better way to do that in store for upcoming versions. If I understood well your example, you first created the Obj-C subclass and later, dynamically, set its parent to be the ruby class. Anyway, seeing that the norm in Cocoa is delegation rather than extension, and if all ruby classes are readily available in Obj-C, I think I'll manage with just calling ruby code instead of extending it. Apparently I lacked only calling the sharedRuntime method, will need to experiment a bit more when I get back to my Mac. cheers, Victor -- -- Victor Jalencas <victor(a)carotena.net>

Adobe Illustrator scripting with MacRuby
by Chris Brown 21 May '09

21 May '09

Can anyone post an example of how to add (1) a layer and (2) a path object to an Adobe Illustrator document? I am able to do these things using rb-appscript with Ruby 1.8, but have not been successful with MacRuby and ScriptingBridge. I have also failed trying to get appscript to work with MacRuby. This works (irb): irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems' => true irb(main):002:0> require 'appscript' => true irb(main):003:0> include Appscript => Object irb(main):004:0> ai = app('Adobe Illustrator') => app("/Applications/Adobe Illustrator CS3/Adobe Illustrator.app") irb(main):005:0> doc = ai.documents[1] => app("/Applications/Adobe Illustrator CS3/Adobe Illustrator.app").documents[1] irb(main):006:0> doc.name.get => "Sample.ai" irb(main):007:0> doc.make(:new => :layer, :with_properties => {:name => 'Test'}) => app("/Applications/Adobe Illustrator CS3/Adobe Illustrator.app").documents[1].layers[1] I get this far with macirb: >> framework 'ScriptingBridge' => true >> ai = SBApplication.applicationWithBundleIdentifier('com.adobe.illustrator') => #<AdobeIllustratorApplication:0x800b5fcc0> >> doc = ai.currentDocument => #<AdobeIllustratorDocument:0x800d1f740> >> doc.name => "Sample.ai" I can query and set properties on my Illustrator documents, no problem. It is creating new objects that is not working for me. I am running plain-vanilla MacRuby 0.4 on a 2 x 2.8 Quad-Core Xeon, OS 10.5.7. Thanks in advance, - Chris

Arrow in menu shortcut for hotcocoa
by Keenan Brock 20 May '09

20 May '09

Hi all, Has anyone bound command return or command arrow to a menu item using the menu.rb? I was able to do this in nib but yet to succeed in the hot cocoa format. The nib xml looks like it is binding to a uuencoded value. Not sure how to take advantage of this when specifying the menu entry. Thanks, Keenan
