John-- I've started a github repo at http://github.com/sxross/raiseman-rb, but it doesn't yet reflect that I can now do initial editing of an inserted row, but undo is not there yet. Thanks, Steve On Oct 26, 2009, at 1:22 AM, John Shea wrote:

The Objective-C signature for this is:

- (void)insertObject:(Person *)p inEmployeesAtIndex:(int)index

Works in Objective-C but in my Ruby, the method is not recognized as a handler to be invoked when a Person object is to be inserted in the employees array. I should note that I created the employees array using Ruby syntax:

@employees ||= []

Changing this to:

@employees ||= NSMutableArray.alloc.init

makes no difference in this scenario.

Any hints with respect to what I'm missing here?

Thanks,

Steve,

I am not sure what stage you are at with your example, I originally did this without using an array controller, and the undoing worked fine.

I just threw together a version with an array controller - and the insertObject(person, inEmployeesAtIndex:index) and remove methods are being called by the array controller - however they seem to be passing the index as a nil. Perhaps this is what Ernest was talking about - an unboxing issue?? Undoing initially works.

I'm not certain what to do about an unboxing issue. What I'm trying to do is work up some muscle memory with Cocoa and translating the prevailing Objective-C documentation to MacRuby in my head.

Selecting the second row, and then pressing insert causes a crash into the debugger - so perhaps again some issue with what method the array controller is calling or trying to call (and the vars it is trying to pass) - as Ernest implied (?).

That's what I see too on the current nightly build, but not having source limits what I can observe about this.

Note that this experiment was still with 0.4. Perhaps it works ok in later versions?

I personally have not come across this issue before because I never use the arraycontroller method insert and remove - I always have my own controller methods - usually I want to check other things before adding or removing (I believe later in the book the array controller methods are replaced with own methods).

And this is what I do under normal circumstances. There's a ton of magic in the wiring of this example ath the point where undo is supposed to first start working because a good deal of stuff is done in IB. That complicates debugging as opposed to wiring things up in code IMO.

Not a solution but perhaps you can work around it, by using your own controller actions, and then exploring the undo aspects?

Cheers, John
