Build button in Ruby Only IDE?

Chris Kutler — 2008-08-19T17:08:18

Hello, The Build menu is no longer in the Ruby only IDE but there is still a Build Main Project button. What is the purpose of this button? What is its menu action equivalent? When I click it, it runs tests. Is that what it is for? Does it do anything else? What does the Clean and Build Project button clean?

What do I get with the extra hints plugin

Chris Kutler — 2008-08-18T19:19:06

Hello, I have the beta installation. I installed the Ruby Extra Hints plugin from the update center. I then went to Options > Editor > Hints > Ruby and I do not see any more hints than I had before. Does anyone know what the Ruby Extra Hints plugin contains? I would like to document some examples of what you get when you install this.

link_to warp to files question

Chris Kutler — 2008-08-18T18:56:30

Hi, If I have code like this: <%= link_to "cancel", :controller => "posts" %> I can ctrl-click on :controller=> "posts" and the IDE opens the posts_controller.rb file. With the newer Rails versions, the above line in the generated code (generated by the scaffold generator) looks like this: <%= link_to "cancel", posts_path %> Can we make posts_path warp to the controller file? If so, I will file an RFE. Also, in an earlier blog, Tor wrote: "With the latest builds, in your RHTML files, you can now control click on |render :partial|'s, |link_to| etc. and it will warp to the corresponding files - RHTML partials, controller files, actions, etc." Does anyone know what etc. refers to in "|render :partial|'s, |link_to| etc." What does etc. refer to in "RHTML partials, controller files, actions, etc." Thanks, Chris

JRuby & NetBeans for Dummies ??

Arun Gupta — 2008-08-18T18:27:05

FYI, feedback on JRuby & NetBeans in JRuby User list. Thanks, -Arun -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [jruby-user] JRuby & Netbeans For Noobs/Dummies Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2008 17:07:02 +1000 From: Paul Fraser public.gmane.org> Reply-To: user-vBD6kId06caxIXFVlbCvtR2eb7JE58TQ< at >public.gmane.org To: user-vBD6kId06caxIXFVlbCvtR2eb7JE58TQ< at >public.gmane.org After spending far too much time googling for assistance in using Netbeans and JRuby I have decided to try a different approach. In my blog http://paulfraser.blogspot.com/ I have started a series to try and bring together the info needed to successfully use JRuby & Netbeans. At present it is just too damn hard :-( . There is not enough effort devoted to using JRuby without rails in Netbeans. For the series to be successful, it is hoped that the experts behind Netbeans & JRuby join in and help to make the experience "less hard" and try and put the information needed to get a project/application going for the "less talented" and "less experienced" amongst us, IN THE ONE PLACE. What do you think? Please offer suggestions for improvement and assistance in making the commentry clear and easy to follow. It is most important that the content explains every detail and leaves no steps to the imagination. One very simple step at a time.

Parameter hints for methods without using parenthesis

Chris Kutler — 2008-08-17T19:07:36

Hi, If I type t.string ( and then press Ctrl-P (alt-P on Mac), I will see parameter hints. However, if I don't use parentheses, I cannot see the parameter hints as far as I know. Is there a way to get parmeter hints without using parentheses?

Rails in NB 6.5 beta

Arun Gupta — 2008-08-13T22:26:52

1). In NB 6.5 beta, installing Gems windows waits for ever (few minutes) to update the list. I understand this is because the list of gems is pretty large. It practically makes it impossible to use in a demo and even irritating during development times as well. Is there an interface like "jruby -S gem install " where the entire list of gems is not required to be loaded ? 2). "New Gems" shows 3453 gems that can be installed but searching does not work. Typing "Glass" or "glass" does not narrow down the list. That's true for other gems. Went back to IDE after few minutes and now see the list corresponding to the search text. But now clearing the search text does not update the list. I think there might be other issues in this area. 3). Even though I selected the latest version of GlassFish gem, it still installed 0.1.0 as shown in the attached picture :( Bug ? Thanks, -Arun

JVM options for JRuby

Peter Williams — 2008-08-13T17:59:09

Is there a way in the current UI (6.5) to pass JVM options to JRuby (or JRuby/WEBrick if it's a rails project)? I know there is a way to modify the classpath, but I didn't see anything else. I don't know if there is a use case for this, but if there is a way to do it, I need to make sure it's supported by V3 and it probably wouldn't be today since I'm not doing anything special here. -Peter

question about GEM_HOME and GEM_PATH in Gems manager

Chris Kutler — 2008-08-13T17:43:40

Hi, I am using NetBeans 6.5. Using the Ruby Platforms manager, I set my JRuby platform (the built in one) Gem Home to the default (the bundled gems repository). I added c:/rubyrepos/rubyrepoj to my gem path. When I open the Ruby Gems manager and go to the installed tab, I do not see the c:/rubyrepos/rubyrepoj gems in the list. If I click the Browse button and set the Gem Home to c:/rubyrepos/rubyrepoj and click Reload Gems, then I do see my rubyrepoj gems. Is that the way it is supposed to work? Am I only supposed to see the gems in the Gem Home and not in the other repositories that are listed in the Gem Path?

online help ready for review

Chris Kutler — 2008-08-12T22:10:07

Erno and Martin, See http://wiki.netbeans.org/Ruby65DocPlan#section-Ruby65DocPlan-OnlineHelp for the list of Ruby online help topics. For each topic I made a note of the types of changes and listed which engineer I thought should review it. These changes are available in the last nightly build except for the new id for the rubyoptions.html, which I will check in shortly. If you would rather have me send you the topics, or post the topics to this thread, send me email. If you think I should assign someone else to a topic, let me know that too. Chris

Saving server selection broke recently...

Peter Williams — 2008-08-12T20:38:44

Saving server selection in rails projects broke recently... It works in build 2008-08-11_14-01-08 ( http://bits.netbeans.org/download/trunk/nightly/2008-08-11_14-01-08/ ) but fails in 2008-08-12_02-01-08 ( http://bits.netbeans.org/download/trunk/nightly/2008-08-12_02-01-08/ ) Anyone know what happened? I'm looking into it because I sort of need it to work. I know why it doesn't work now, but I haven't yet identified the specific code change that broke it, so it's not that clear how to fix it. I'm leaning toward something in #95661 though. -Peter

Don't see 6.5 change "posibility to specify Rails version"

Chris Kutler — 2008-08-12T18:56:23

Hi, In the April 15 entry for http://wiki.netbeans.org/RubyRecentChanges, I see " Possibility to specify Rails version when creating a project (issue 127206 ). There is now a combo box containing the installed Rails versions on the last panel of the wizard." I have MRI Ruby with both 2.0.2 and 2.1 installed. I can see both versions listed in the Gems Manager for my MRI Ruby installation. "rails (2.1.0, 2.0.2):...." When I create a new project with 20080811 download of 6.5, with the platform set to my MRI Ruby installation,and go to the last page, the drop-down list for the rails version only shows 2.1. How do I get it to show both versions?

Question about introduce method

Chris Kutler — 2008-08-12T00:30:22

Hello, The "generic" help for introducing a method includes the following text. I am wondering if all of the statements below hold true for Ruby and if there are specific rules for Ruby that I should mention in the docs: If you encounter an error message when introducing a method, check to see that the statements you selected meet the following criteria: Selections cannot have more than one output parameter. Selections cannot contain a break or continue statement if the corresponding target is not part of the selection. Selections cannot contain a return statement that is not the last statement of the selection. The selected code is not allowed to return conditionally.

refactor pop-up menu question

Chris Kutler — 2008-08-12T00:26:55

Hello, If I right-click in the a Ruby class, or an ERB file, etc, and choose Refactor, I see the following enabled in the submenu. However, when I select them, nothing happens: Introduce Variable Introduce Constant Introduce Field Introduce Method On the other hand, I can use Alt+Enter on selected text in the source to do the same thing. For what purpose are the pop-up refactoring menu items and how do I use them?

How do I get to this panel: ruby.platform/src/org/netbeans/modules/ruby/platform/RubyPlatformAction.java

Chris Kutler — 2008-08-06T22:34:27

Hello, Earlier, I asked about help button ids. Martin provided a list of dialog boxes with Help buttons. This list included ruby.platform/src/org/netbeans/modules/ruby/platform/RubyPlatformAction.java. How do I get to this dialog box? I tried getting to it from the Ruby Platforms manager but I couldn't figure out how. Chris

NetBeans Ruby IDE does not completely uninstall

Chris Kutler — 2008-08-04T20:33:57

Hi, I have noticed that when I uninstall 6.5 NetBeans Ruby IDE (I only install the Ruby version, so I don't know if this applies to other installs, such as the All install), not everything gets uninstalled. This is in Windows XP. What gets left behind is C:\Program Files\NetBeans Dev 200807291401\ruby2\jruby-1.1.3\lib\ruby\gems\1.8 which includes the cache, gems, and specifications folder. Is there a reason for this that I should document in the installation doc (which has a section on uninstalling), or should I file a bug? Chris

Effect of setting the port in the project properties dialog box

Chris Kutler — 2008-08-04T17:57:40

Hello, Does anyone know about how changning the port text box in the project properties box affects the behavior of the IDE (such as starting the server or deploying the app). Is it the same for WEBrick, Mongrel, and GlassFish? If not, can someone explain for each of these servers, how the setting affects the behavior. Thanks, Chris
