As had been previously discussed, today we've gone ahead and opened Github issues for the MacRuby project. At the same time, we've frozen the old Trac reporting tool and will no longer be accepting new bug reports there (though existing reports can still be viewed/searched until we manage to move them all over). One side-effect of this change is that new bug reports (filed with Github Issues) will no longer be reported to the MacRuby-tickets mailing list. We are currently investigating ways that we can bring this back, though I feel like not many people outside of the core team were subscribed to this list in the first place. (If you were and will miss it horribly, please let us know.) This is just one of the changes coming over the next few days, so be sure to keep an eye on the list!

Secondly, the code signing of the bundle contents is still a bit shaky although it seems to work on Lion .. on SL the .rb files create an "argument list too long" message (see below) .. commenting out the .rb files in macruby_deploy for codesigning makes the deploy come to a proper end but of course now the .rb are not signed. Daniel has done some great work on this already but are there any other ideas? rgrds, Rob /Users/robista/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/SubtitleReSyncBasic-ayrbtqtujxpvspgaanykiwlaojxy/ArchiveIntermediates/Deployment/BuildProductsPath/Release/SubtitleReSyncBasic.app/Con</pre> Rob Ista 2012-05-05T17:27:21 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.macintosh.devel/8153 <pre>Hello, new list member here, through I follow through the web for a long time. Just a quick question regarding RubyMotion: In all reviews/mentions I've read, they say that you need to build your UI programmatically. I understand that there is no XCode IDE integration, but is there something specific preventing an XCode user from creating his UI in XCode/IB and then instantiating the .xib files with RubyMotion? If so, would that perhaps be possible in the future, or is there something inherent in RubyMotion/MacRuby that prevents it?

(RubyMotion is what I have been working on these last 6 months. :)) RubyMotion is a commercial flavor of MacRuby for iOS that includes an optimized runtime, a brand-new static compiler and memory model, and a command-line interface. If you are familiar with MacRuby you should be all set to develop iOS apps right away. You can find more information about RubyMotion on its website. http://www.rubymotion.com For a limited time only, RubyMotion can be purchased at a 25% discounted rate. The developer center features guides, articles and a pointer to the sample code repository. http://www.rubymotion.com/developer-center Also, the awesome folks at The Pragmatic Studio released an amazing 50-minute screencast on the product. Check it out, it's free! http://pragmaticstudio.com/screencasts/rubymotion If you want to stay connected, make sure to follow &lt; at &gt;RubyMotio</pre> Laurent Sansonetti 2012-05-03T17:02:20 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.macintosh.devel/8125 <pre>It's been a while since I installed a nightly build because I get a error in the installer ("Installation failed", and "An error occurred while running scripts from the package “macruby_nightly-2012-05-02.pkg”"), and I haven't had the time to look into it. I've just given it another go, and, to my eyes, it seems to have installed everything it should have: /Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework /usr/local/bin/macgem /usr/local/bin/macirb /usr/local/bin/macrake /usr/local/bin/macrdoc /usr/local/bin/macri /usr/local/bin/macruby /usr/local/bin/macruby_deploy /usr/local/bin/macruby_select /usr/local/bin/macrubyc /usr/local/bin/macrubyd Does anyone know if that is everything? Can I just ignore the installer error if the above is in place?

I know I could be doing this with cocoa, but it's a small scripting project. (Also I didn't feel like loading a bridge support file, would that help in this case?) framework 'ScriptingBridge' sys = SBApplication.applicationWithBundleIdentifier("com.apple.systemevents") COMMAND_KEY = 1264807268 OPTION_KEY = 1265594484 sys.keystroke("u", using: COMMAND_KEY|OPTION_KEY) It seems to only recognize the first enum...

This is the problematic method in MacRuby: https://github.com/MacRuby/MacRuby/blob/master/lib/strscan.rb#L638 Both MRI and Rubinius work around this by using a feature of Oniguruma patterns to match the pattern at the beginning of a string only. Here are the corresponding sections: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/trunk/ext/strscan/strscan.c#L437 https://github.com/rubinius/rubinius/blob/master/lib/strscan.rb#L264 Do regular expressions in MacRuby expose similar functionality to either Ruby or C extensions? I'd be happy to help resolving this issue, but have no experience with MacRuby so any pointers on how to best approach this </pre> Sylvester Keil 2012-04-19T13:19:05 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.macintosh.devel/8106 <pre>Hey, first post to the list, woot!

I start having this problem whenever my application become large and I try to change the inheritance of some MacRuby files. Occasionally, the change will cause Interface Builder to crash immediately without an error message but usually the problem manifests itself by not updating the class inheritance information in IB. Even after selecting "Reload All Class Files", IB will show the old inheritance. Deleting my file from Xcode and adding it back in still does not fix the problem. The only way I know to fix the problem is to copy all of my source file into a new project but this is getting to be more than annoying. Is there a way that I can force Xcode to rebuild all class files for my project?

I'm trying to rewrite a program that drives Excel with appscript, and running into the problem of translating back and forth between HFS and POSIX pathnames. The old Appscript module included a MacTypes module, and these two translations were provided. 1. to go from POSIX to HFS: hfs_pathname = MacTypes::FileURL.path(posix_pathname).hfs_path 2. to make the round trip back to POSIX: posix_pathname = DefaultCodecs.unpack(DefaultCodecs.pack(hfs_pathname).coerce(KAE::TypeFileURL)).path Do I need to go to the scripting bridge for this? This is Core Foundation stuff, and I'm totally at sea. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've been doing well with MacRuby. But I ran into a problem trying to bring my installation up-to-date. updated I found that I could only update to the 2/21/2012 nightly build. After that the installer gives me a message "Installation Failed" with nothing descriptive of the problem. Anyone know what changed? Thanks, Bob Rice </pre> Robert Rice 2012-04-16T17:12:30 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.macintosh.devel/8081 <pre>Hi guys, So we had a team chat, and we agreed on the following. First, we will release master as 0.12 (and just forget about 0.11). It is important since master has changes for the latest Xcode that have never been snipped yet. I will work on this. In the meantime, if you can, please do install one of the latest nightly builds and let us know of any regression. It is likely that 0.12 will be one of the last releases before 1.0. Second, we will prepare a new landing page for the project, which will be hosted on GitHub. The page will be very minimal, as we intend to use the wiki for the real content. Josh volunteered to work on this, he does not need more help. Watson has been working on the necessary Wiki pages, but we might need more. If you're interested, the Wiki is open to anyone, you can create new pages or edit existing ones: https://github.com/macruby/macruby/wiki Third, we will migrate the tickets from trac to GitHub. Jake Smith and Dan Sinclair volunteered to work on this. We will coordinate so t</pre> Laurent Sansonetti 2012-04-10T23:46:03 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.macintosh.devel/8041 <pre>Hi guys, Yes, I'm still alive :) As you may have noticed, I have been absent here for a few months. Last year we got a baby, then we moved back to Europe. I decided to leave Apple a few months ago to achieve one of my dreams: work on a startup, in part so that I would be flexible in my time and be able to keep hacking on MacRuby. Believe it or not, in the near future I should have less pressure on myself and therefore I should have the time to hack on MacRuby again. I will happily resume maintaining MacRuby, like I did for the last 5 years. MacRuby is quite stable right now so the maintenance burden is less significant than before. Also, during my absence, Watson did a great job of smashing all sorts of incoming bugs, if he keeps up he will likely become the #1 committer of the project :). Mark Rada spent a lot of time triaging bugs and writing patches. And Josh Ballanco kept the IRC channel in activity. It's like the project never slept.

I don't know what motivated the change, but I am sure that he is working on something great. Good luck Laurent!!! While I have a lot of faith in the open source community and think growing a larger pool of contributors is critical for the long-term viability of macruby, the libauto issue is a simple example of how internal decisions at Apple can have profound effects on macruby's future. That worries me. Without anyone promoting macruby from inside Apple, they can shut compatibility with x-code off with an update, add months of work to remove libauto-dependency because they decide to deprecate GC or otherwise alter the programming universe in some unforeseen way. Since Apple is an unapologetic, iron-curtain of secrecy, with a propensity to stop short and change direction (remember when it seemed like macruby would be on iOS?), I can only imagine how many hacker years the macruby community will burn while trying to hit an ever-moving target. Apple, think differ</pre> Tim Rand 2012-04-06T06:21:43 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.macintosh.devel/8027 <pre>I am not a a contributor to MacRuby, but I have been interested in using it. Without Apple sponsorship, I have very little interest in MacRuby. Without commitment and support from Apple, it will be a never ending scramble to just keep up with niggling changes to xcode, cocoa and the build process. Every new release of anything by Apple will break stuff. By offering no comment and no hook into the apple labyrinth the message from Apple is that, "it is not strategic to us". The broader message may also be that computing in general is less and less strategic to Apple. So sad to say, I think it is goodby MacRuby. Very sad, because if Apple does care about the computing side of the business, they are going to need to provide an alternative to ObjectiveC and the aging development approach they have been living off of for the last 10 years. I had hopped that MacRuby might have pointed the way, but apparently not. danf </pre> Dan Farrand 2012-04-05T22:34:56 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.macintosh.devel/8024 <pre>*Many of you have been wondering what is going on with the MacRuby project given the lack of up-to-date releases and overall communication. I feel we owe you some explanation. As a lot of you have noticed, our de-facto project leader Laurent Sansonetti has been M.I.A since October 2011, his last post to this mailing list being http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macruby-devel/2011-October/008168.htmlannouncing MacRuby 0.11 really soon.

He's trying to raise $25k to work on the project, see more there: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3768339 Putting the money raising question aside, I think this is a good project but I think that as a community we can do it together, learn a lot in the process and create an awesome product helping the community. My suggestion is that people interested get together and hack together in an open and public way. Yehuda might get funded and decide to contribute or do his own thing in JS, that's totally besides the point since our motivations would be different so we shouldn't worry about that.
