Well Jean-Denis .. thank you so much for a few solutions for questions that i posted but remained unanswered until now ;-) … one thing still left though : do you (or somebody else) have a solution for automatic code-signing of the private frameworks and "loose" dylibs too? (and with that may be for the .rbo files a swell? cheers, Rob

Hey guys, A bit off topic I'm trying to change my list preference to do a daily batch instead of real time. I can't seem to figure it out. Don't know where to sign-in at. Thanks Arron Mabrey

rubyfying Cocoa iterators
by Jean-Denis MUYS 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

I have this ordered Core Data to-many relation named "operations" that I want to iterate over. I wrote: self.operations.each { | operation | operation.doSomething } However this fails because self.operations returns an NSOrderedSet and NSOrderedSet doesn't have an 'each' method. I was able to use the 'enumerateObjectsUsingBlock' method of NSOrderedSet which is working fine. My question is: what would be the MacRuby way to add an 'each' method to NSOrderedSet? Thanks, Jean-Denis

Calling Foundation functions
by Colin McPhail 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

Hi, I'm having trouble calling the Foundation function NSLocalizedString from within a method I have added to class NSRunningApplication: class NSRunningApplication def activeString active? ? NSLocalizedString("Yes", "Yes") : NSLocalizedString("No", "No") end end The error message I get is: undefined method `NSLocalizedString' for #<NSKVONotifying_NSRunningApplication:0x40127e680> (NoMethodError) I can however successfully call NSLog, which is another Foundation function, from the same place. Is there a way I can call NSLocalizedString (and why is NSLog a special case)? Thanks for any info. -- Colin

Scripting OmniGraffle
by Sophie 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

Sorry for the sloppy subject line in my earlier question. Thanks, Kam, Matt for your very helpful replies. Kam, any idea how I would initialize the alloc'd shape to be e.g. a Circle of some size at some position? I generated the files with sdef & gen_bridge_metadata, found lots of useful things there. Is there something in these files that would lead me to: shape = OmniGraffleShape.alloc.init canvas.shapes.addObject shape ? I don't see either alloc or init, or addObject in the 2 files. Also, is there some reason why there is no corresponding "make ..." method in either file? Applescript gladly seems to call "make" (so does Ruby Appscript) on doc, canvas, or layer ... but I'm no Applescript guru :-( Thanks !!

symbol not found: _rb_str_freeze
by Jean-Denis MUYS 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

Hi, I have a big showstopper with my app: sequel with the mysql gem fails with the following error message: dyld: Symbol not found: _rb_str_freeze Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.frameword/[…]/mysql_api.bundle This is mentioned on the net on the sequel project back in february. The diagnostic of the sequel developer was that this is a bug in MacRuby. I am using MacRuby nightly latest as of November 17, 2011, which reports its version as 0.12 I have mysql gem version 2.8.1 I have sequel gem version 3.29.0 Steps to reproduce in macirb: require 'ruby gems' require 'sequel' DB = Sequel.connect(:adapter => 'mysql', :user => 'root', :host => 'localhost', :database => 'test', :password => 'your password') DB.tables Is there any workaround/ easy fix? I would appreciate any suggestion, including of alternate gems to use. Jean-Denis

ScriptingBridge browser project
by Matt Aimonetti 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Since a few of you asked about ScriptingBridge within the last week or so, I started working on a very very very basic app showing you the available methods. I don't have much free time so I really expect you guys to pick it up and make it awesome. Here is a screenshot of what I have so far: https://img.skitch.com/20111115-dy4wrh9ppbybhxm4j4xn33ip9h.jpg Source code: https://github.com/mattetti/MacRuby-ScriptingBridge-Browser At the moment, the header file is hardcoded instead of being generated on the fly using sdef/sdp, the methods/properties documentation doesn't show yet, there isn't any REPL setup, the constants are missing and I'm pretty sure the hacked up parser is buggy. Hopefully that will be enough to get some of you excited and involved with this project. - Matt

Write your own version of Siri in MacRuby
by Matt Aimonetti 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

I extracted an old demo I had made for RubyConf which shows how to use the voice recognizer feature of OS X to implement an app which could be the Siri equivalent for OS X: https://github.com/mattetti/MacRuby-Siri The code is straight forward, the app runs in the top menu. Don't forget to turn on the voice recognition feature before testing the app. - Matt

Re: [MacRuby-devel] MacRuby-devel Digest, Vol 45, Issue 20
by Sophie 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

I am trying to automate OmniGraffle using MacRuby, and cannot figure out how to map Applescript to available MacRuby methods. For example, to add a shape takes roughly this Applescript: tell application "OmniGraffle Professional" tell canvas of front window make new shape at end of graphics with properties {size: {10,80}, origin: {9,9}} end tell end tell I can get a handle on the OmniGraffle application, on its document, canvas, etc. Can get a list of methods as below. But cannot find anything corresponding to the above "make new shape". Is there any way to browse a MacRuby view of the scripting dictionary? Thanks for any pointers! Sophie framework 'ScriptingBridge' $omni = SBApplication.applicationWithBundleIdentifier("com.omnigroup.OmniGrafflePro") $document = $omni.windows[0].document $canvas = $omni.windows[0].canvas $canvas.methods(true,true).sort => [:adjustsPages, :"assembleSubgraph:tableShape:", :bold, :canvasBackground, :canvasSize, :"childWithClass:code:keyForm:keyData:", :"childWithClass:code:keyForm:keyData:length:type:", :"childWithClass:code:keyForm:keyData:type:", :"childWithClass:code:keyForm:keyDesc:", :"closeSaving:savingIn:", :columnAlignment, :columnSpacing, :"connectTo:withProperties:", :context, :delete, :descriptionForSpecifier, :"duplicateTo:withProperties:", :elementArrayWithCode, :"elementWithCode:ID:", :"elementWithCode:atIndex:", :"elementWithCode:named:", :encodeWithCoder, :exists, :flipOver, :get, :graphics, :grid, :groups, :horizontalPages, :id, :"importCategories:frameworks:instanceVariableTypes:instanceVariables:interactionAllowed:mapping:methodSignatures:methods:outlineTemplate:protocols:", :"initWithApplication:specifier:", :"initWithClass:properties:data:", :initWithCoder, :"initWithContext:specifier:", :initWithData, :"initWithElementCode:properties:data:", :initWithProperties, :isRangeSpecifier, :italicize, :lastError, :layers, :layout, :layoutInfo, :lines, :moveTo, :objectClass, :pageAdjust, :pageSize, :positionAfter, :positionBefore, :properties, :"propertyWithClass:code:", :propertyWithCode, :qualifiedSpecifier, :qualify, :"replaceReplacement:ignoreCase:regexp:string:wholeWords:", :rowAlignment, :rowSpacing, :"saveAs:in:", :"sendEvent:id:format:", :"sendEvent:id:parameters:", :setAdjustsPages, :setCanvasSize, :setColumnAlignment, :setColumnSpacing, :setGrid, :setHorizontalPages, :setId, :setLastError, :setLayoutInfo, :setName, :setProperties, :setRowAlignment, :setRowSpacing, :setTo, :setVerticalPages, :shapes, :slideBy, :solids, :specifier, :specifierDescription, :subgraphs, :unbold, :underline, :unitalicize, :ununderline, :verticalPages] On Nov 14, 2011, at 11:19 AM, macruby-devel-request(a)lists.macosforge.org wrote: > Send MacRuby-devel mailing list submissions to > macruby-devel(a)lists.macosforge.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macruby-devel > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > macruby-devel-request(a)lists.macosforge.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > macruby-devel-owner(a)lists.macosforge.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of MacRuby-devel digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
