The "NSTimer.

scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval_target_selector_userInfo_repeats"syntax is the RubyCocoa syntax, you need to use the selector approach in MacRuby, very much like obj-C.

If you are on 0.5 beta or a recent nightly build, you should get a traceback, otherwise, you can still try to catch the exception and print out the error message and backtrace:

begin
  raise "this is a test"
rescue Exception => e
  raise "#{e.message} #{e.backtrace}"
end

Thanks John::

I wasn't familiar with this new syntax. I was using the old syntax "NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval_target_selector_userInfo_repeats" but I see it doesn't work in MacRuby.

MarRuby is giving me error messages without a traceback. Is there a way to enable tracebacks?
