So it looks like we are waiting for the tracker tickets to be migrated from MacOS Forge to GitHub to also do the website update and the release. Who's working on that, what's the status of the migration? Thanks, - Matt

@Daniel, I am a bit confused here .. a few weeks ago the deploy seemed to work including the code signing … now it just hangs for a while and crashes with "Argument list too long" .. is there something changed?

StringScanner Performance
by Sylvester Keil 20 Apr '12

20 Apr '12

Dear all, while debugging performance issues for a gem (bibtex-ruby) I noticed that MacRuby's StringScanner implementation creates new Regular Expression objects every time #scan is called; as I am dealing with a lexical analyzer based on StringScanner the #scan method is quite crucial and the current implementation performs so slowly that it is basically unusable on MacRuby. This is the problematic method in MacRuby: https://github.com/MacRuby/MacRuby/blob/master/lib/strscan.rb#L638 Both MRI and Rubinius work around this by using a feature of Oniguruma patterns to match the pattern at the beginning of a string only. Here are the corresponding sections: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/trunk/ext/strscan/strscan.c#L437 https://github.com/rubinius/rubinius/blob/master/lib/strscan.rb#L264 Do regular expressions in MacRuby expose similar functionality to either Ruby or C extensions? I'd be happy to help resolving this issue, but have no experience with MacRuby so any pointers on how to best approach this are much appreciated. Thanks, Sylvester

Help with class files
by Robert Rice 19 Apr '12

19 Apr '12

Help, I have a recurring problem with corrupted class files created by Xcode 3.2.4 and I don't know much about class files. I start having this problem whenever my application become large and I try to change the inheritance of some MacRuby files. Occasionally, the change will cause Interface Builder to crash immediately without an error message but usually the problem manifests itself by not updating the class inheritance information in IB. Even after selecting "Reload All Class Files", IB will show the old inheritance. Deleting my file from Xcode and adding it back in still does not fix the problem. The only way I know to fix the problem is to copy all of my source file into a new project but this is getting to be more than annoying. Is there a way that I can force Xcode to rebuild all class files for my project? Thanks, Bob Rice

Appscript and pathname translation
by Robert Schaaf 19 Apr '12

19 Apr '12

Hello again, Macruby community! I'm trying to rewrite a program that drives Excel with appscript, and running into the problem of translating back and forth between HFS and POSIX pathnames. The old Appscript module included a MacTypes module, and these two translations were provided. 1. to go from POSIX to HFS: hfs_pathname = MacTypes::FileURL.path(posix_pathname).hfs_path 2. to make the round trip back to POSIX: posix_pathname = DefaultCodecs.unpack(DefaultCodecs.pack(hfs_pathname).coerce(KAE::TypeFileURL)).path Do I need to go to the scripting bridge for this? This is Core Foundation stuff, and I'm totally at sea. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bob Schaaf

Elegant initialization
by Josh Voigts 19 Apr '12

19 Apr '12

Hey, first post to the list, woot! I've run into a little bit of a snag. Is there an elegant way of building an initializer similar to this one in macruby? (assuming I'm subclassing an NSView object) - (id)initWithFrame:(NSRect)frame controller:(AppController *)ctrlr { if (self = [super initWithFrame:frame]) { controller = ctrlr; // deliberately weak reference. } return self; }

Installer Fails
by Robert Rice 18 Apr '12

18 Apr '12

Hi MacRubyists, It's been a long time since I posted on this forum. I've been doing well with MacRuby. But I ran into a problem trying to bring my installation up-to-date. updated I found that I could only update to the 2/21/2012 nightly build. After that the installer gives me a message "Installation Failed" with nothing descriptive of the problem. Anyone know what changed? Thanks, Bob Rice

Re: [MacRuby-devel] Update (Laurent Sansonetti)
by Tim Rand 13 Apr '12

13 Apr '12

"First, we will release master as 0.12 (and just forget about 0.11). It is important since master has changes for the latest Xcode that have never been snipped yet." Does that mean the macruby project template will be updated to work with xcode 4.3.2--i.e. install into the updated directory location (/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Library/Xcode/Templates/Project\ Templates/Mac/Application/) and have a .xctemplate structure? Because I was just trying (but failing) to get figure out how to access the templates from the xcode 4.3.2. Moving the old templates (from /Library/Application\ Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Project\ Templates/Application/) didn't work. Looks like lots of stuff changed regarding xcode templates with this update. Thanks, Tim
