Hi Darrin, I believe this error happens because you do not run within a properly initialized Cocoa session. In general, it is not possible to use Cocoa directly from macirb without calling at least NSApplication.sharedApplication and starting a run loop at the end.

Hi, The following is using a macruby build as of today. I'm not sure, but I seem to be experiencing a debugger error while attempting to work with a NSOpenPanel. The second time I create a NSOpenPanel no error is reported. Thoughts?

Thanks, -- Darrin
