No worries at all, thanks for using MacRuby. - Matt On Thu, Mar 8, 2012 at 8:08 PM, Braxton Sherouse < sherouse@email.virginia.edu> wrote:
Thanks; that's totally it.
That specific spec change is painfully clear in https://github.com/rubyspec/rubyspec/blob/master/core/kernel/eval_spec.rb (but, of course, I didn't think to look there!)
Best, Braxton

It's actually a difference between Ruby 1.8 and 1.9, see the same code with 1.9.3:
$ irb 1.9.3p125 :001 > eval "f=12" => 12 1.9.3p125 :002 > f NameError: undefined local variable or method `f' for main:Object from (irb):2 from /Users/mattetti/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p125/bin/irb:16:in `<main>'

Hello, all. I'm new to the list (and to MacRuby!), so I give my apologies in advance for any newbie indiscretions.
I was working today with MacRuby as a scripting language within a Cocoa app, and found a difference between how Ruby and MacRuby's eval functions relate to their calling context.
Here's a reduction:
% irb --version irb 0.9.5(05/04/13)
% irb
eval("f = 12") => 12 f => 12
% macirb --version DietRB (0.6.1)
% macirb irb(main):001:0> eval("f = 12") => 12 irb(main):002:0> f NameError: undefined local variable or method `f' for main:TopLevel
I'm sure I'm missing something super basic. I followed a number of false leads in trying to figure this out before emailing the list, including checking out the $SAFE global (0 in both cases), and constructing Bindings to the calling context (same result).
Thanks in advance for your patience and your help!
