Is there a workaround for regex named capture groups not being supported?
by Jeremy Smith 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

I now I can't use re2 because it is a C based gem, but is there any way to support named capture groups in MacRuby? It is a pretty necessary component of my project, and not having it is forcing me to look for solutions like running my gem as a service, or compiling it using Rubinius. I'd rather there was a workaround! :) Thanks, Jeremy

Is Xcode4 broke on Lion?
by azzzz＠gmx.net 17 Aug '11

17 Aug '11

Just upgraded Xcode for Lion, created a new app, added ':button' to the attr_accessor in AppDelegate but when I click on MainMenu.xib and App Delegate a connection for button doesn't appear in the connections tab. (I went into my old app too, added :tested to the attr_accessor but it doesn't appear in the connections tab either). As a refresher I'm following this vid: http://youtu.be/JbGqKf38QUI (watch from 2:45) Am I doing something wrong or is Xcode broke on Lion? Anyone else having any similar problems? Cheers, Ast

Using hotcocoa to create a project
by Jeremy Smith 14 Aug '11

14 Aug '11

Hi, when I try to create a project using hotcocoa as described in the MacRuby Postie tutorial http://www.macruby.org/hotcocoa/getting_started.html $ hotcocoa Postie I get this error: /Users/jeremysmith/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180/gems/hotcocoa-0.5.1/lib/hotcocoa/template.rb:20:in `gsub!': invalid byte sequence in UTF-8 (ArgumentError) Any ideas? Thanks, Jeremy

macruby does not compile for me on Lion with xcode 4.1
by Marvin Frick 08 Aug '11

08 Aug '11

Hi, I have some trouble compiling MacRuby on Lion with XCode 4.1. As some tickets in the trac indicate that people are using macruby on lion, i think this might be a problem with my setup. As said, its a MacOSX Lion with xcode 4.1 build 4B110 (got it from the appstore just yesterday). I checked out 0.10 from github.com and rake'd it: In file included from kernel.c:19: encoding.h:22:30: error: unicode/ustring.h: No such file or directory This seems reasonable since unicode/*.h is in icu-1060/. Shouldnt these header files come with xcode anyway? After my silly approach of copying the files into the include folder, the compiler does find the needed deklarations and the rake process goes on. However, some files later: /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 -std=c99 -I. -I./include -pipe -fno-common -fexceptions -fblocks -g -O3 -Wall -Wno-deprecated-declarations -Werror -arch x86_64 -c gc.c -o .objs/gc.o gc.c: In function ‘ruby_xmalloc_ptrs’: gc.c:130: error: ‘AUTO_MEMORY_ALL_POINTERS’ undeclared (first use in this function) gc.c:130: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once gc.c:130: error: for each function it appears in.) rake aborted! The few google results on "AUTO_MEMORY_ALL_POINTERS" reveals that this comes from CoreFoundations CoreFoundation_Prefix.h. Unforunately this file does not exist in any CoreFoundation Frameworks (neither iOS, nor MacOSX) in /Developer on my Mac. About my system: LLVM 2.9 build with homebrew. # echo $PATH /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/1.9.2-p180/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/Users/marv/.bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin # gcc-4.2 -v Using built-in specs.

What might got wrong here? Any hints appreciated! Thanks! Marvin

hello world error
by Emil Tin 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

hi, it's been a while since i played with macruby, so i did a fresh install of 0.10 from binary om my 10.7 system and copied the hello world example from: https://github.com/mattetti/MacRuby--The-Definitive-Guide/blob/master/chapt… but running it and clicking the 'hello world' button prints an error: ~/Desktop/macruby$ macruby hello_world.rb Hello World! macruby(83412,0x10abe8000) malloc: *** auto malloc[83412]: error: GC operation on unregistered thread. Thread registered implicitly. Break on auto_zone_thread_registration_error() to debug. Otherwise things seem to work; the voice is there when you click the button. -Emil

Small WebView commandline script
by Andrew O'Brien 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

I've been doing some HTML scraping with Mechanize recently and I figured I could use a small tool that opens up a small WebView and reads HTML fragments from STDIN. Here's what I came up with: https://gist.github.com/1121174 There are a couple of things wrong with it that I chalk up to noobishness (and the fact that I usually start with an application template in XCode and use Objective-C), that I could use some help on: 1) Despite passing in Closable and Resizeable, the window doesn't seem to do either. Also I can never get focus or scroll. Does the window need to be open in a different thread? Have a window controller? If so, what's the best way to do that? (Most of the tutorials I've seen are either full Applications or minimal scripts with no UI.) 2) Is there anyway to embed/access a web developer console like the one in Safari? Thanks. -- –Andrew O'Brien

NSWorkspace.sharedWorkspace.recycleURLs:completionHandler doing nothing under macruby
by Caio Chassot 02 Aug '11

02 Aug '11

NSWorkspace.sharedWorkspace.recycleURLs:completionHandler: fails for me when run via normal macruby, yet works in macirb. Sample code: #!/usr/bin/env macruby framework 'Cocoa' path = "#{ENV['HOME']}/Desktop/Y-U-NO-TRASH-ME-MACRUBY.txt" system "touch #{path}" url = NSURL.fileURLWithPath(path) urls = [url] NSWorkspace.sharedWorkspace.recycleURLs(urls, completionHandler:nil) puts "Should be false: #{File.exists?(path)}" (or: https://gist.github.com/960048c72a9b55db40b3) Output from running it: $ macirb foo.rb # … irb output elided Should be false: false $ macruby foo.rb Should be false: true Running on public release of Lion, clean install, with latest macruby nightly, bridgesupport preview 3. The equivalent code works fine in Nu.

Re: [MacRuby-devel] MacRuby-devel Digest, Vol 42, Issue 2
by Alec Sloman 01 Aug '11

01 Aug '11

Hey all, A while back I posted to the group re: improved syntax highlighting in XCode for MacRuby. It was suggested that I submit something to Apple. Today, I got a follow up email from Apple saying that someone on their engineering team is "investigating" the issue. That's all the information I've got, but hopefully that means we'll see better support for MacRuby in upcoming releases of XCode! Also, I should mention this is the first response to a bug I've filed, so I actually don't know how to interpret the significance of their response. Any thoughts on that? Here's to hoping!

Keymando is now Available in the App Store!
by Kevin Colyar 01 Aug '11

01 Aug '11

Hey Guys, I've finally released my MacRuby app, Keymando, to the App Store! http://keymando.com What is Keymando? ---------------- Keymando is a full-featured input mapping and automation tool for OSX. Keymando Uses ------------- Keymando is for productivity junkies, programmers, and any else who wants to start using their Mac more efficiently. Here are just a few uses: - Map familiar shortcuts and hotkeys from one application to another. - Use mnemonics to trigger automated tasks. - Text Abbreviations. - Vi-style hjkl navigation throughout OSX. - Automate Skype logins and phone calls. - Quickly insert dates, times, and other data. - Disable application hotkeys and shortcuts. - Pretty much anything you want using Ruby to write your own commands! Features -------- - Map Keys – Allows for the mapping of key presses to other keys or other arbitrary commands. - Filtering – Create a set of key mappings for a single application or group of applications. - Dialogs – Set a global hotkey that prompts for user input then act on it. - Ruby – Use the easy-to-use programming language, Ruby, to configure Keymando. - Plugins – Write your own plugins to command your Mac to do what you want. Plays Well with Others ---------------------- Easily integrates with applications like Quicksilver, Divvy, and any other application on OSX. - Quicksilver - Divvy - Any application in OSX! History ------- Keymando was originally named ViKing due the ability the application had to mimic the vi editor's navigation style in OSX, a navigation style that kept users' hands on the home row instead of the arrow keys. Over the last few months ViKing underwent a re-branding effort into its new name, Keymando. This was done because the application has matured into a very useful product that is not only useful to vi(m) users but to everyone. Future ------ Version 2 of Keymando is under active development with exicting new features that include: - Recording and playback user interaction. - Complete framework to access UI controls. -- Kevin Colyar http://kevin.colyar.net

[ANN] Launch: Redwood - Spotlight for the cloud
by Derek Haynes 01 Aug '11

01 Aug '11

Redwood is a "Spotlight for the cloud" -- it searches Basecamp, Gmail, Google Docs, and Pivotal Tracker from one search bar on your desktop. You can download Redwood from our homepage: http://redwoodapp.com We've loved developing the app with MacRuby. Details on the technical guts: * MacRuby 0.10, embedded in the application bundle * Originally we used the Nokogiri and GData gems. However, we dropped these as the load time took several seconds during the application launch. A likely cause: gems are not compiled like the application code. The performance during application usage was fine. * Several Obj-C libraries: Sqlite3 and FMDB for database, ASIHTTPRequest for HTTP, Sparkle for auto-update, SBJson, and CocoaFob + Potion Store (a Rails app) for licensing. * Search results are rendered in HTML/CSS, and events are passed back and forth between an embedded Webview and Cocoa We'll provide a richer overview of our experience w/MacRuby in a couple of weeks on our blog. Give the full-featured trial a whirl and let me know how it goes: http://redwoodapp.com Cheers, Derek
