IronRuby installer

Orion Edwards — 2012-05-22T03:26:27

I spent a bit more time trying to get the IronRuby installer to go, and 
succeeded; resulting in the following pull request:

https://github.com/IronLanguages/main/pull/71

The main problem seemed to be that the IronRuby installer created 3 MSM's 
(DLR, IrRedist and IronStudio) and then merged them all... This failed 
because each MSM re-defined the NetFxScheduleNativeImage custom action, 
and more than one MSM is not allowed to do that. I'm not sure how this 
worked in the past... Did WIX get upgraded?
It looks like (from what I can tell) the IronPython installer has been 
re-done into a (much much simpler) wixproj whereas the IronRuby installer 
is still building with MSM's (and is much more complicated than perhaps it 
should be).
Is this right?
If so, should someone embark upon a project to re-do the IronRuby 
installer in a similar fashion to the IronPython one?

Thanks, Orion

Top issues with ironruby

Albert-Jan Pieter Nijburg — 2012-05-07T09:26:34

Hi guys,

 

I would like to spend some time helping with ironruby. I was planning on
starting with the specs. But I thought it might be a good idea to ask
here if there are issues that are more pressing then others. I recently
saw some stuff come by about open ssl, I have some experience using
bouncycastle I could also look into using that to mimick openssl.  

 

Wouldn't it also be a good idea to do a new release? Lots of stuff has
been fixed since the last release.

 

 

Regards,

Installing gems extremely slow?

Per Lundberg — 2012-04-30T20:10:33

Hi!

Is it just me, or is installing gems with IronRuby extremely slow? (at
least compared to other Ruby platforms, like JRuby)

It seems to pretty much halt here:

C:\Work\git\rayak\examples\sinatra>igem install --verbose sinatra
GET http://rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz
302 Moved Temporarily
GET http://production.s3.rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz
200 OK
GET http://rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz
302 Moved Temporarily
GET http://production.s3.rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz
200 OK

After quite some time, it proceeded and went on with the install as
expected.

With JRuby 1.6.7 it looks like this. Very similar as with the above, but a
*lot* faster. Is there a significant performance bottleneck with the
current IronRuby, or is it caused by some form of timeout or similar?

Trouble getting started - some basic questions

Kevin McCaughey — 2012-04-08T14:36:13

Hi,

I have read through a few pages of the list and read what I can on the
internet, but I am struggling to find answers to a couple of very basic
questions. I have just learned ruby using Notepad++ and the windows
package of Ruby 1.9.3. I used to be a systems programmer in assembly
language and C. I have a basic knowledge of .NET and a good knowledge of
Windows. I have IR 1.1 installed with VS 2010.

These questions are what I am confused about:

1. Can I write a Ruby application that uses .NET for system stuff
(Windows, forms, networking) and package that as an installation that
end users can install on their computer without going through the whole
(for users) Ruby installation rigmarole? i.e. Can I write a GUI
applications and distribute them with a few DLL's packaged and a
requirement for .NET 4?

2. Is the IR implementation any faster/slower than the standard?

3. Can Ironruby use JRuby as for the VM? Or maybe that is an irrelevant
question and I am misunderstanding how IronRuby works?

4. Is IR with

mixing in a C# interface which declares genericreturn types

Ben Keeping — 2012-04-03T15:13:54

Hi,
I'm trying to mixin a C# interface into a ruby class, in order to use it as
a mock.

My Ruby class :

class MockFoo
  include IFoo
end

The C# interface :

public interface IFoo {
  T Get<T>();   // this is OK
  IEnumerable<T> GetAll(); // this fails
}

When calling MockFoo.new, I get the following error :

catch exception issue

evgeny vov — 2012-03-10T06:47:24

Hello,

We found issue in IronRuby core when running on Windows Phone 7
emulator.
Below is the code to reproduce the issue:

def test(*args);
  puts 'test';
  raise ArgumentError, 'Error';
end;

begin;
 test;
rescue => e;
 puts 'caught';
end;"

The problem is that rescue does not called and exception goes throw.

If we change test to:
def test();
  puts 'test';
  raise ArgumentError, 'Error';
end;

Exception caught fine. So the issue is with variable parameters list

Does anybody has any idea why it may happen?

Regards,
 Evgeny.

Installing gems into IronRuby

Eugene A. — 2012-03-01T15:26:03

Hi,

First post here. Excuse a n00b for silly questions. :) I've been trying
to figure this out for a short time and while I have an idea, I'd like
some confirmation.

I need to install a gem so I can automate some WPF code. One I'm
planning to use is called bewildr. How do I install gems into Ironruby
in Visual Studio 2010? Is there a specific way to do it? Or is
installing gems into a general ruby (non-ironruby) install sufficient?

Float specs

Orion Edwards — 2012-02-01T03:20:28

Added the following pull request 

https://github.com/IronLanguages/main/pull/54

This has the following fixes, which are all pretty minor:
* Update Float#<=> to handle overflowed values correctly as per rubyspec
* Update Float#divmod as per rubyspec 
* Implement Float#fdiv, which is just an alias for /
* Update Float#modulo and Float#% to raise ZeroDivisionError (as per 
rubyspec)
* Implement Float#round(decimalPlaces)
The last one isn't actually in rubyspec, but MRI has had it for ages and 
it's very useful.
The only things left for float_specs all involve converting it to 
Rational, so I'd suggest leaving them until IronRuby's implementation of 
Rational gets sorted out.
Thanks, Orion

ironruby in VB.net and rubygems

Andreas Beck — 2012-01-29T20:29:16

Hi,
I've just encountered the following problem:
I've installed the gem "builder" in version 2.0 via igem and it works fine.
When using it in a script first the first 2 lines are:

    require 'rubygems'
    require 'builder'

In VB.net I execute ruby code in the following way:

I linked:

    IronRuby.dll
    IronRuby.Libraries.dll
    IronRuby.Lbraries.Yaml.dll

from InstallationDirectory\Silverlight\bin\

my code which works fine with "regular" ruby code:

    Sub Main(ByVal Args As String())
        Dim rubyRuntime As Microsoft.Scripting.Hosting.ScriptRuntime
        Dim rubyEngine As Microsoft.Scripting.Hosting.ScriptEngine

        rubyRuntime = IronRuby.Ruby.CreateRuntime
        rubyEngine = rubyRuntime.GetEngine("rb")

        Dim strRuby As String

        Dim fileReader As StreamReader
        fileReader = New StreamReader(System.Environment.CurrentDirectory &

Cannot build IronRuby or IronPython MSI's

Orion Edwards — 2012-01-04T04:07:08

I did a git pull today of IronLanguages\main, and noticed a giant stack of 
changes on December 30, 31 and Jan 1 - which look like they're related to 
Win8 and Mango, amongst other things.

I'm trying to build the IronRuby installer - the process also builds the 
IronPython installer along with it.

It ( msbuild /p:Configuration=Release Installer.proj ) now fails with 
several errors:

1 - IronRubyTools.dll fails to build. It complains about "A reference was 
created to embedded interop assembly '..........\VSLangProj.dll'
 - I fixed this by setting Embed Interop Types = false on that reference 
(what happened to break this??)

2 - The build now fails because it couldn't find silverlight 4 dll's, 
whereas it used to work (did it used to reference silverlight 3 which 
ships with VS2010??).
 - I fixed the error by installing the silverlight 4 SDK

3 -   Two proj files have gone missing:

IronRuby internals - How can I get the full path tothe current file?

Orion Edwards — 2012-01-03T22:01:58

I thought I'd be a good samaritan and implement require_relative in 
IronRuby, but I'm having real trouble figuring out what the current file's 
path actually is.

The closest I've got is something like this:

* Pull apart the the caller/backtrace to get the file name
* File.expand_path(file,  File.dirname(dir)) 
* require that file

This is equivalent to the existing ruby idiom of "require 
File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'lib/file1')", but this doesn't work 
reliably because __FILE__ is already relative, so File.dirname(__FILE__) 
often just returns "."
Without the full path to the current file however, this is as good as we 
can get.

I've looked through various parts of the IronRuby source code...
- as far as I can tell the Parser/Syntax tree code (which has access to 
the file path) doesn't keep the information around
- and even if it did, I'm not sure how regular ruby code could access the 
parser/AST??

If anyone could help at all, even with a small bit of detail, it'd be much 
appreciated.
Thanks,

ruby script in c# application

rubix Rubix — 2011-12-22T20:35:13

Hi,

I just installed IronRuby and I want ot know how to use a ruby script in
.Net c# application
visual studio 2008, Ruby 1.9.2
regards,

The requested feature is not implemented.

Rob Britton — 2011-12-15T19:10:31

Hello all,

Why might I get the error "The requested feature is not implemented" when
calling load_assembly() to load in a Mono-compiled DLL under Ubuntu? When I
use the same script to require the same binary under Windows it works fine.

Thanks,

WP7 limitations

Andrei N. — 2011-12-11T16:38:00

Hi,

In the article from 2010, Tomáš was describing the limitations on WP7:
http://matousek.wordpress.com/2010/03/21/ironruby-on-your-phone/

"The most significant are calls to methods with out or ref parameters.
You also won’t be able to inherit a Ruby class from a CLR class or
implement a CLR interface since that requires us to emit a proper CLR
type. We are going to address both of these limitations in future
versions."


Are these two addressed in the latest version of IronRuby for WP7?

Thanks!
